Hugh McGregor, Organizer of Many
Trade Unions, Dies of Wounds Re-
ceived in Battle.

Washington-The death of Hugh
McGregor on his farm in Prince
Georges county, Maryland, removes a
founder of the American Federation Of

secretary of the federation and held
that Office for a number of years. He

Mr.. McGregor was born in London,
England, in 1841.
During his 40 years in trade union
work Mr.. McGregor was the organ
izer of many trade unions and So

The cause of Mr.. McGregor's death
is attributed to old battle wounds
which he received when fighting under
Garibaldi in Italy.

EXTRA SESSION DATE FIXED
President Decides on April q After
Consultation With Champ Clark
and Underwood.

Westinghouse probable is it that
an extra session of congress will
be necessary in order to get ac-
ton on the Canadian reciprocity
agreement that President Taft has
fixed April as the date on which
such a session may be called. This
decision was reached after a consulta-
ton with Champ Clark, who will be
speaker of the next house, and Rep
resentative Underwood of Alabama,
who will be chairman of the ways
and means committee.

Uncle Sam closed the fiscal year
with a handsome surplus instead Of
the deficit that had marked some pre-
ceding periods. And the second half
of 1910. which was the first half of the
new fiscal year, has shown a big re-
duction IL the shortage that is always
expected as a result of large expend-
iture during such months. If present
tendencies prevail, however, receipts
will increase relatively from now on,
and the fiscal year ending June 80
next will show surplus still larger
than that of 1910.

Entomologists state that the seven,
teen-year locusts are due in 1911, and
preparations are under way to give
the destructive and unwelcome insects
a fitting reception, which will be, as
far as possible, a welcome with
bloody hands to hospitable graves"
New York officials hold out some com
fort in the form of an assurance that
the creatures come from the south
and will be unable to cross the Hud
son river, says the Troy Times. But
that leaves a pretty wide area open to
such invasion, and those who wish
to prevent mischief will do we'll to be
on guard prepared to use every avail
able means of getting rid of the pests.

Ne.Ds Notes of Wisconsin

Neenah. war on the
jobbers of cheese and barley and rye,
a large delegation of farmers of Win
neba2o county met here and organized
the Winnebago County Farmers and
Cheesemakers' Publicity club. It is
the intention to send workers into
every county of the state. William
Grimes, a member, says that in the
sale of barley to the jobbers the latter
take fifty pounds to the bushel and
sixty pounds of rye, whereas the legal
weight is forty-eight for barley and
fifty-siX for rye. At the next meeting
of the legislature bills will be intro
duced. In the matter Of cheese, the
farmers claim that jobbers will not
pay for more than nineteen pounds
on every twenty pound American
cheese, but that when the ultimate
consumer pays the retailer he pays
for twenty pounds to the grocer.
Wausau.-If the plans for tur-
pentine factory here are carried out
the factory will also afford market
for all the Norway pine stumps the
settlers in this vicinity can pull while
clearing their land at from So to 81

soon as the blueprints and plans are
finished and the retOrts can be Sc
cured. The factory will be in opera
ton fifty weeks during the year and
will consume stumps from l,oVO
acres yearly.

.RATlFY JAP TREATY
SENATE VOTES TO CONFIRM NEW
CONVENTION.
That Government Will Regulate
Emigration Of Coolies.

Washington.-The new Japan treaty
was ratified Friday by the senate on
the understanding that Japan will not
impose coolies on the United States.
The objection to the convention has
consistently been that it did not throw
sufficient safeguards around the immi-
grafton of Japanese to the United
States Opposition was made to it
by the people of California, and by
their state legislature and by the peo-
pie of the Pacific states generally.
The sole basis for the belief that
immigration is safeguarded is the fol-
lowing personal statement for his gov
eminent of Baron Uchida.
I'm proceeding this day to the sig
nature of the treaty of commerce and
| navigation between Japan and the
United States, the undersigned Japan
csc ambassador in Washington duly
| authorized by his government, has
the honor to declare that the Imperial
| Japanese government are fully pre-
pared to maintain with equal effec-
t1veness the limitation and control
| which they have for the past three
years exercised in regulation of the
emigration of laborers to the United
States.
| (Signed) ". OCHIDA."
This was deemed sufficient certain
ty by the president and the state de-
partment and the president was &C.
tive in his efforts to impress the Cali
fornia legislature with his view of
the treaty's efficiency and sufficiency.
