st. Louis Globe-Democrat. - There
was a square fight on reciprocity as an
issue in the republican state conven-
ton in Massachusetts last week. and
its champion, Eugene N. Foss, a candi-
date for delegate at large, received only
17S votes in a total Of over 1900. A full
opportunity was given Mr.. Foss to pre-
sent his resolution directly to the con-
Vention and to speak in it's behalf. He
was answered by Senator Lodge, whose
close relations with the administration
rendered his speech unusually signifi-
cant. Mr.. Foss confined his resolution
to reciprocity with Canada, a subject of
more than average importance, for geo
graphical reasons to Massachusetts.
The Foss resolution proposed that the
government of the United States should
take immediate steps to secure closer
and more advantageous relations with
Canada, by which the natural products
of both countries should enter the 9TH
er free, and duties on manufactured
articles be removed or reduced to the
lowest rate given any other country.
In his argument Mr.. Foss enlarged on
the proposition that Boston is the ma
tural port of Canada, and that reci-
procity would build up the city's trade
and shipping. His speech was along
sectional lines and also questioned the
present strength of the republican par
ty in New England, two mistakes
which Senator Lodge turned against
him powerfully.
The resolution adopted stood by reci-
procity as defined in the republican ma
tional platform of 1900. which was to
open our markets on favorable terms
for what we do not ourselves produce
in return for free foreign markets
Then the platform goes On to say:
Reciprocity with Canada is a mere
phrase until the concessions on one side
and demanded on the OF IT IRE stated
in detail. No administration and nc
party can legiSlate or negcti-
ate a mere catchword into substance

CALLS UNION A TRUST
Petition Filed i'm St. Louis Court Asks
Drastic Ruling.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 81. - The Unit
ed brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners of America is alleged to be "a
trust, an illegal association, combi-
nation against public policy, and con-
trary to law" and its dissolution is
asked for in a petition filed yesterday
in the circuit court.
The plaintiffs are the William G..
Frye Manufacturing company, the
Charles A. Olcott Planning Mill com
pany, Fox Bros. Manufacturing COM
pany, and the Lohse Patent Door COM
pany. Pending the suit for dissolution
a restraining order and injunction is
asked against the Carpenters District
council of the union.
Marks Movement Against Unions.
The action grows out of the attempts
made by the union in the last six
months to unionize the plants of the
plaintiffs. and marks the beginning of
an aggressive movement upon organic
ed labor in st. Louis.
In the petition the plaintiffs say they
are engaged in profitable Ntrade
among the builders and carpenters OF
St. Louis. 1t is necessary, they say
for them to employ large number OF
skilled workmen. They state that I'M
til recently employees were satisfied
with their terms of employme nt, had
no grievances concerning hours, labor

or wages, and manifested no desire to
join union.
In bringing the action the plaintiffs
urge that the union has created mon.
opoly to fix and maintain the amount
of work each member shall do and the
amount of compensation he shall re.
ceive.
AIIeee Competition Destroyed.
Plaintiffs further allege that the
union succeeds in doing this by re-
stricting the supply of labor, limiting
the number of apprentices, and prohib-
iting the members from working along
side non-union men, thus destroying
competition. That they enforce those
rules by fines. penalties and forfeiture
Of membership.
Plaintiffs further declare that dur.
ing the last month the union has made
it known to them that unless they
complied with their demands to union
lie their shops the union would with
draw the members from the smaller
contractors and jobbers who buy ma.
terials from the plaintiffs. In this they
80 far have been so successful" says
the plaintiffs, that we cannot pro.
cure the proper help to complete build
ings on time AMI numerous cutomers,
fearing strikes, have declined to deal
with the plaintiffs"
Notices of the fling Of the petition
were served on the defendants. The
case will be assigned In its regular
order.
