Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May IA. The employment
of child labor in mills and factories

address of Mrs. Mary Thompson Howe,

factories, but with the steady increase

RECIPROCITY NOT
 NEEDED BY CUBA. Cuban Senate Resumes Discus
 sion of the Treaty. SANGUILLY OPPOSES Il He Asserts That Business Interests of teh United States Aspire to Control Economic Affalrs-Used Gen
 eral Wood for Proof.
SANGUILLY OPPOSES Il

Havana, March 9-The debate on the reciprocity treaty with the United States was resumed in the senate today. Sena- or Sanguilly made lengthy speech in which he contended that reciprocity was not necessity to Cuba's progress. His address, while voicing the fear of the domination of Cuba by trusts, was mark ed by no bitterness towards the United States government, or people. Senor San gully denied that the treaty would bene- fit either the Cuban producer or the Uni ted States consumer, and asserted that the trusts would be the sole beneficaries. He argued that 1t was a suspicious cir cumstance that Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, who negotiated the treaty, should have declared before the United States con gressional committee that 1t ought to be the policy of the United States to get hold of the entire Cuban market. The business interest in the United States aspired to control Cuba's economic af- fairs and make Cuba an economic colony of the United States, and it was surpris- ing to him how so good a friend of Cuba as President Roosevelt should have been led Into such imbroglio.
 As a proof of the alleged conspiracy to gain control of the Cuban market the speaker called attention to an article pub lished in an American review by General Wood, In which he held that Cuba was lost unless it secured reciprocity with the United States, whereas, as a matter of fact, It was entirely possible for Cuba to exist independent of such aid The mseries, continued Senor Sanguilly, had been overdrawn to influence the reciproci- ty movement, the Cuban sugar producers being In a better situation than those in the United States, for per cent of the beet sugar factories in the United States were heavily mortgaged
 The United States, he continued, would always need Cuban sugar, and the terms of the Brussels convention were certain to benefit Cuba during the coming five years. The reciprocity treaty came at an inopportune time and the speaker did not believe that the IInite,' States would ever coerce Cuba, because he remembered the words of Secretary Root to the commis- sion, sent to Washington by the Cuban constitutional convention that the United States would never consider the use of force as an argument to impose its will upon the Cubans.
 Senor Sanguilly concluded by saying he believed that only when liberty as ex- empllfied by the statue in New York har- bor ceases to enlighten the American con- science. will the independence of Cuba be lost

CATTLE RAIsERs PROTEST.
Ask That Case Against Fort Worth and Denver R. R. Go. Be Reopened.

Washington, March 9.--The Cattle Rais- ers' Association of Texas, complainant, and the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, intervenor have filed with the interstate commerce commission q petition for the reopening of the case against the Fort Worth and Denver Railway company and others, involving through rates on live stock and terminal charges of g per car load for delivering live stock at the stock yards of the Union Stock and Transit Company of Chicago. The petition recites that the commission already had held that any charge In excess of $1 per car load for terminal or switching service was unlawful and then recites subse- quent contest proceedings before the courts and commission.
 The petition asks not only the enforce ment of the discontinuance of terminal charges over $1 per carload, but the con tinuation of the practice of enforcing dis criminating through rates for the trans portation of live stock from the shipping points involved. and the proper repara- ton to the parties injured for the alleged unlawful terminal charges and through freights on live stock to the Chicago stock yards. The commission has notified the various railroads interested to make answer within the prescribed period of twenty days.
