SENATOR STONE
ON RECIPROCITY
DEN0UNCES MOVEMENT HE SEES
TO DEFEAT MEASURE.
Oisclaims Idea That Canadian Pact
Would Make Material Reduction
in Cost Of Living.

Washington-ln . speech lasting more
than three hours, Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri,, in the Senate Monday, denounced
what he declared to be AN unjust propa-
ganda to defeat the Canadian reciprocity
bill. The attempt, he said, was being
made to alarm the American people BY
painting the ruin that would follow the
free importation Of Canadian goods, the
products of cheap labor. This conten-
ton, he declared, was absolutely untrue
and he submitted statistics gathered by
both governments designed to show that
both labor and live stock were higher
across the border than in the United
States.
When MI. Stone concluded Senator
Gallinger asserted that the Missouri sen.
ator had proved conclusively that there
would not be the reduction in the cost
of living which it had been contended re-
ciprocity would bring to the United.
States. Mr.. Stone replied he had not
commended that in and of itself r~eciproc-
ity would be of great benefit, but had
undertaken to show it would produce NO
great injury.
And yet we give away ten millions
of revenue Mr.. Gallinger retorted.
Mr.. Cummins agreed with Mr.. Stones
conclusion regarding prices in Canada
and said he was convinced the passage
of the bill would not effect reduction of
the cost OF living.
MIR. Stone contended that American
labor is in no especial danger from labor
in Canada, and replying to MI. Page of
Vermont, he said it appeared to him
from government figures, farm wages in
Canada are so per cent higher than in
the United States.
Counting out the lowering effect of
the small wages paid negro labor in
Southern states, Mr.. Gallinger declared
that the American wages paid near the
boundary line are from 25 to 80 per
more than across the line.

BLACKMAN OF ALABAMA TNTRO-
DUCES THREE RESOLUTIONS.
Combination of Bears and Bulls Alleged,
Patten, Brown, Scales and Hayne
Case Included.

Washington.-To direct the attention
OF the department of justice to an al
legged combination between the cotton
"bearsS and the wheat bulls" and to
obtain information concerning the indict
ments against Frank B. Hayne, of New
Orleans, William p. Brown, Eugene
Scales of Texas and james A. Patten OF
Chicago, in New York charging that q
pool was formed to advance and main.
ain the price of cotton, Representative
Blackman of Alabama has introduced
three resolutions in the house.
The first one calls for informatiois
from the attorney-general to determine
the proceedings of the department
against Hayne and others.
The second resolution directs the de.
partment to institute proceedings against
the persons alleged to have combined in
restraint of trade by forming a pool to
corner cotton.
The third directs the department to
institute against persons alleged to have
conspired to advance the price of wheat
by q corner.
Mr.. Blackman's third resolution is
notable by reason Of the fact that Pat
ten, indicted with the cotton men with
whom he was alleged to have operated,
was reported q year previously to have
'een the leader in q bull campaign that
tent wheat 50 high as to cause an in
srease in the price of flour and bread.
