START UNION
 ..LAB0R FIGHT
MILL OWNERS OF SOUTHWEST TO CLOSE DOWN MANY
 LARGE MILLS.
Effort to Break Up National Brother hood of Timber Workers Alleged as the Cause of the Cur
 tailment.

New Orleans, La, July l9.-A de- ltermined effort to break up the re- gently organized National Brother hood of Timber Workers was decided upon here today at a meeting of lum- Der operators from east Texas, Lous- lana and Southern Mississippi.
 The first of the mill owners plants Twill be closed Monday Of next week
 when ten large mills in Calcasieu and Vernon Parishes, La. representing a daily output of million ana halt fleet of lumber, will be closed for an indefinite period. Already five beading mills in these TWO parishes have been closed down and after Monday a total of sevetal thousand mn employees in Calcasieu and Yer non will be idle.
 While disayowing any intention to discriminate against legltim ate or
 ganization of their employees, the mill men are determined to stamp out what they regard as a socialist movement in the National Brother hood of Timberworkers. This organ Gzation is said to be less than year old, with headquarters in Beaumont. 1exas. It is asserted by some of the
 lumbermen at today's meeting that
 the organization has not the slightest affiliation with the American Feder-
 ation Of Labor, or with any other un-
 ion of timber or lumber operatives.
 The meeting today was the third
 held by the mill men within the past
 eight months to consider what steps
 to take in dealing with the timber
 workers organization. A formal or
 ganlzation to be known as the South- ern Lumber Operators Association,
 was effected.
 Today's meeting was executive ana
 a statement of the proceedings was not furnished to the press. John Ii.
 Kirby, president of the Kirby Lum- Der Company of Houston, Texas, pre- sided and George K. Smith, secre- Itary of the Southern Yellow Pine Manufacturers Association was sec Iretary of the meeting.
 1t was stated thss the brotherhood lis now confined to a few miles In least Texas, several parishes in soutn- Iern Louisiana, and a small number |of mills in southern Mississippi.

 RECIPROCITY
MISSOURI SENATOR MAKES PLEA FOR THE CAE~-IAN MEASURE.

 yon, of Iowa, Opposes it.

Washington, July 19.-Vigorous support of the Canadian reciprocity agreement by Senators Brown, of Nebraska, Stone of Missouri, and Works of California and short speech against the measure by Sem ator Kenyon, of Iowa, made up to- days debate on the measure in the senate. Senator Stone arraigned the interests which he said had been us ing the farmers for the purpose oi attacking reciprocity. He declared democrats could find no excuse for not supporting the agreement as in troduced by President Taft.
 "This is part of ; great progress i've movement toward closer com merciaI alliance with Canada that VIII be for the lasting benefit of both countries, said Senator stone. "lne president is op the right side; the democratic house of representatives H
 is on the right side. It will be a pit iful spectacle if the senate shoulc stand as a stumbling block. He sait he had been charged by some dem ocrats with being an ally of the re- publican president.
 T am supporting the measure, no the president he said. As soon al it is disposed of am afraid my al Ilianee with him will cease unless hf is wiling to support some of the dem ocratic tariff pills"
 Senator Stone said the reciprocit' hin had been pictured as ghos stalking around in moonless nish seeking farmers to devour."
 eThis idea was to arouse the larm ers and have them march on tn' oapitol and congress-" said senato Stone. But behind them were lhes' great interests footing the bills ant urging them on"

Premier Asquith Postpones Proposed Visit to Scotland on Account
 of Early Date.

London, July 20. The Daily 1ele- Igraph, staunch Unionist, in today's editorials says not only that the
 house of lords will pass the third
 reading of the veto bill today with-
 out division, but that when the gov ernment bill is returned to the upper
 house shorn of ehe lords amend

 the simple reason that there reaii,

 cause it would form an evil and dang lierons precedent to bring the crowr into the struggle and it would be i'm
 possible for the king to withlt,ld lss
 consent if the ministers requested tns
 creation of peers.
 1 Practically the whole unionist press
 has row fallen into Iine with th<
 Telegraph and that the mo surrenuel
 policy would be suicidal.
 Long meetings of the cabinet and
 also the Unionist leaders. including
 Balfour and Lansdowne, Selborne
 Curzon. Salisbury and others were
 held yesterday to make final arrange
 ments for the coming debates. Premier Asquith has postponed ms intended visit to Scotland on account of the crisis and urgent whips have been issued to all parties for Mon days sitting of the house of com mons. That date the prime minister will make an important announce ment of the ministerial intentions. According to persistent reports,
 whatever happens. fifty new peers will be created before the bill IS sent back to the lords as an indica- ton of the governments intention, lshould the peers still display dispo- Isition to be obdurate.
 It Is explained that the present lgovernment has created fewer than the customary number of peerages m recent years and that, therefore, the
 creation of fifty now would little
 more than restore the baiance. That the creation of peers may lyet be necessary is indicated by an
 editorial in the Morning Post, which still counsels firm policy of no lsurrender.
