CANADIAN SPEAKS
FOR OR RECIPROCITY
John Charlton, N. p, Says
Present Condition of Trade
Relations Is Absurd.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-A strong plea
for the adoption sef reciprocal free
trade in the natural products between
the United States and Canada was
made by John Charlton, member of
the Canadian parliament for North
Norfolk, Ont, in a speech tonight at a
banquet given by the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association. Mr. Charlton de-
clared that the present state of trade
relations between the two countries
was absurd and that the continuance
of present Canadian tariff conditions
could be retained only by important
tariff concessions on the part of the
United States. Mr.. Charlton, in his
address, said:
Formerly the American farmer and
lumberman opposed the policy of the
free admission of Canadian natural
products into the markets of the Unit
ed States, believing that the effect
would be to depresS prices in their
home market. That this is a mere
bugbear careful aid intelligent con-
sideration will prove. Canadian .ex-
pectations could not be realized if the
effect of free access to the american
market was to be depression of prices
in the United States to the normal
Canadian level under present condi-
tions. The Canadian desires free ac-
cess to the, American market for the
purpose of getting the duty added to
his present price. If this is not to be
the result there is nothing in reciproci-
ty for him. The volume of exported
quantit ties is so small compared with
the volume of domestic production in
the United States that it would be abb
surd to expect that imports from
Canada for consumption in the United
States would do more than produce
an infnitesin1al influence upon prices"
= Among the other speakers was A. c..
Bird, traffic director of the Gould sys-
tenn, who spoke on Railroad Regula
tion.' He said:
hssLook' alta railroad map of the Unit
ed States. See how roads cross each
other;;N see how many running in OPP
posite, directions reach finally the same
destinatfon,i and then say If 1t is pos
sihle, without conference and agree
ment between competing companies,
toNadjust rates equitably at all of the
thousands of cities, towns and villages
SOFAS to prevent unbearab1e conditions;
and yet such agreements are punish
able by fine or imprisonment, or both.
Under the laws bearing upon trans
portation we have what would be a
tremendous farce We're it not a trag-
edy. The business world demands
such regulation as will insure equit-
able and stable rates, nothing more,
nothing less. Under the present form
of railroad regula ton everything
which is essential to this end is spe-
officially prohibited by law

MONTANA MINES
WILL REOPEN TODAY
Gov TooIe Calls Special Session of the Legislature
to Enact Measures to Put an End to the War Between
the Mining Companies = Thirty Thousand Men Will
Get Work Again Great Rejoicing in the State.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 10.-Gov.
Toole this afternoon called special
session of the legislature to meet on
Dec. at Helena to pass laws to re-
Iieve the industrial condition in Mon
tana caused by the shutting down of
the Amalgamated company's proper
ties, whereby $1,000 men were directly
thrown out of work and $4,000 more
affected.
The aim of the session is to pass a
law whereby mining cases may be
taken from one court to another when
the Judge in the initial court is shown
to be prejudiced. Other legislation of
like character has also been promised.
A so-called fair trial bill of the char
acter now proposed was passed by the
last legislature, but was decided by the
supreme court to be unconstitutional
on technical grounds. Recently at
Butte, Judge William Clancy, of the
district court, gave a decision in which
he said that he might appoint a re-
ceiver at any time for the Boston &
Montana company, one of the largest
constituent companies of the Anal
gamated The decision was made on
the application of John McGinnis, a
prominent holder of stock in the prop
critics controlled by f. Augustus
Heinze, of the Montana Ore Purchasing
company, which has been at war with
the Amalgamated for years. Upon this
announcement by Judge Clancy, Presi-
