WILL REDUCE FOOD PRICES
Reciprocity Agreement With Canada
Expected to Result In Great Good
to Americans.

ashington-Within less than ten
months after the initiation by Presi-
dent Taft of negotiations with the Ca
madam government there was laid
simultaneously before the American
congress at Washington and the Ca
madam parliament at Ottawa, on
Thursday, a reciprocity arrangement
which, If approved, will do much, In
the opinion of the negotiators, to en-
large trade between the United States
and Canada.
The arrangements do not take the
form of a treaty, and considerable
time will be saved in the consumma-
ton of the agreement, which can be
made effective by a simple majority
vote in each of the two legislatures.
The animating purpose of Secretary
Knox appeared to have been to pro
cure a reduction of the high cost OF
living" by greatly enlarging the free
list SO far as it relares to foodstuns
coming from Canada.
On the other hand, he procured
notable abatement of duties on 9
number of American products consum
ed in Canada. Prominent among these
is bituminous coal, which is now ex
ported to Canada to the value OF sew
eral million dollars annually. There u
also a much better opening for Amer

bassy at Constantinople has made
representations to the Turkish gov

sular agent to Aleandretta, during

The New Jersey is one OF the YES

been given American register and CON

Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor; nine

had a strange and spectacular sequel

The boycott case was thrown out
Of court because of the fact that the
federation and the stove company had
arrived at a peaceful understanding
but the supreme court found that the
labor leaders were guilty in the con
tempt case and affirmed the sentence
of the court below. The dramatic
finale found the labor leaders ap
parently unprepared for the decision.

three chiefs OF the federation, mad'

grew eloquent at brief intervals whel
he defended the principal of freedom

The labor leaders, however, do no
seem to think that they will ever g

men will ever serve out his sentence
although it is admitted that the

Luzon, in 1897. So far however, it ha!
shown no threatening disturbance.
