LEGISLATIVE
WORK AND GOSSIP
Important Measures of Dawson County Solons
Consume Much Attention This Week.

Helena, Jan Wheeler's EN-.
! ployers' liability act, the measure
endorsed by the st. Louis conven-
tion Of the American Federation of
Labor and sent to Montana for pas
sage, was today referred to the ju-
dietary committee when it came be-
fore the house for the third reading.
A determined, but unorganized
fight was made on the bill in com
mittee of the whole, but notWith-
standing this it was recommended
for passage. Today at least two of
those who previously espoused its
cause admitted that it was too
sweeping and radical and needed
amendment SO as to apply only TO
the most hazardous professions.
Today's attack on the bill was pre-
cipitated by Representative Ronald
Higgins, the Missoula county insur-
gent republican, who in committee
Of the whole voiced his opposition,
declaring that the measure abro-
gates the doctrine of fellow servant,
and eliminates the assumption of
risk by an employe. He character
lied it as a measure framed more IN
the interests Of the legal profession
and indemnity companies than in
the interests Of labor When the
bill as placed on third reading to-
day he moved that it be referred to
the committee on corporations other
than municipal. Duffy Of Silver Bow
moved as a substitute that it be re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary
Of which its sponsor is chairman. On
the assurance Of O,Iern and Colo
mel Nolan that they would urge a
substitute measure, less radical, the
house voted to refer the measure to
the judiciary committee.
Members of the house voted to-
day to accord the privilege of the
floor to Jeanette Rankin, a Mis-
soula suffragette. and surrender
their seats to ladies on Wednesday

will be the special order Of business.

Mrs. Haskell Dead

| Butte, Jan. 28.-Death came yes
/ terday morning at 500 o'clock to
Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell, Monta-
mas first woman attorney and prom
inently known and esteemed
| throughout the treasure state.
A complication Of diseases was the
cause Of death. For the past two
years Mrs. Haskell had not been en-
joying good health and her recent
tour around the world, Of which she
wrote and spoke SO charmingly,
failed of its purpose to give her neW
strength. Two weeks ago her all
ment took a turn for the worse and
she sank gradually until death
came.
Four Of Butte's Well-knoWn ply
sicians did all that medical skill
could suggest to alleviate her condi-
ton, but all efforts were futile, and
she passed away peacefully at her
apartments in the Napton
Mrs. Haskell came to Montana
from Northridge, n. Il. Her father
still resides there.
She studied law and chiefly
through her efforts law was pass
ed by the Montana legislature ad-
mitting women to the practice of
law.
She was nominated for the Office
Of attorney general IN 1893 and,
though she made q good race for
the office. was defeated by Henry J.
Haskell, whom she subsequently
married. A few years later Mrs.
Haskell was granted a divorce.
Mrs. Haskell came to Butte about
ten years ago to follow her profess
sion Of attorney.
She won hundreds Of friends by
her charming characteristics and
her marked ability as a lawyer. She
participated in and conducted some
very important law actions during
her career in Butte.
On her return from her World-en-
circling tour recently, she delivered
Ia avery entertaining illustrated lee
ture On the subject Of her trip at

WITH CANADA
This Important Agreement Highly Indorsed by
New York Mercantile Exchange.

New York, Jan. 81. The executive
committee of the New York Mercan-
tile exchange, the members Of which
handle most Of the agricultural pro-
duce coming to this city, has voted its
Endorsement of the Canadian reciproe-
ity agreement, and it is expected that
the exchange will ratify the decision
by formal vote Of its members at the
next meeting Of the association.
A statement accompanying the an
nouncement of the action is as fol-
lows:
The reciprocity agreement will tend
to minimize fluctuations in the produce
market, particularly in butter and
eggs It's adoption will be followed
by come reduction in prices on this
side of the border and probably by a
slight increase in Canada.
The new scale of prices will be fair
enough for the farmer and will offer a
much needed relief to the consumer.
1t will be found that practically all
the commission merchants are in favor
of reciprocity wirh Canada. The duty
on Canadian farm products, especially
butter and eggs which might be
brought into the country, is practically
prohibitive as it was the intention Of
the trainers Of the law that it should
be.
Only at rare intervals, when the
price Of American butter has gone up,
has it been possible to bring Canadian
butter into the United States and even
then the risk was great and the profit
small.
There is a demand here which the
American farmer cannot meet. The
United States has e2. 900, 900 inhabi-
tants and Canada about 5000, 900.
There is no reason why that produc
tive country to the north should not
furnish supplies for feeding the people
OF the United States out o. it's sur
plus.
The addition of Canada to our food
supply territory should tot hurt the
farmers. There is room for all and the
stimulus of competition will help them
in the long run.
The chief elements in the basis of
the agreement is announced by the
state department as follows:
Reciprocity on leading food products
such as wheat and other grains, dairy
products, fresh fruits and vegetables,

I fish Of all kinds, eggs and poultry
cattle, sheep and other live animals.
Also certain commodities now free in
one country are TO be made free by the
other, such as cotton seed oil by Can
ada and rough lumber by the United
States.
Tin and tin plates now dutiable in
both countries are made mutually free.
Barbed wire fencing now exempt from
duty by Canada is also exempted by
the United States. So raw materials,
such as mica and gypsum, which en-
ter into numerous industries, are TO be
made free by the United States.
Printing paper is to become free on
the removal of all restriction on the
expectation Of pulpwood.
Mutually reduced identical rates on
secondary food products, such as fresh
meats, canned meats, bacon and hams,
lard and lard compounds. canned veg
etables, -four cereal products and other
foodstuffs partly manufactured.
Mutually reduced rates on a list Of
manufactured commodities, which in
cludes motor vehicles. cutlery, clocks
and watches, sanitary fixtures, satch-
els and similar leather goods, plate

Agricultural implements, such as
plows, harvesters, threshing machines
and drills are reduced by Canada to
the United States rates.

cial treatment by each country. Cana
da reduces coal to 45 cents per ton and
cement to II cents per 100 pounds.
The United States reduces iron ore to

aluminium products, and on dressed
lumber.

The news of Mrs. Haskell's de-
mise oecasioned deep regret among
Butte citizens. for she was highly
honored by all who knew her.
The death of Mrs. Ella Knowles
Haskell, the first woman to practice
law in Montana, will be received
with sincere regret in every part Of
the state, for Mrs. Haskell was high
ly esteemed for her many charming
and womanly qua tiles and kon5red
for the deep knowledge that was
hers.
Mrs. Haskell practiced extensive
" in the courts of the state and es-
pecially in those of Silver Bow coun-
ty.
Her appearance in any case al
ways indicated its Importance and
her arguments and methods of con
dueting a case always won her the.
undivided attention and appreciative
consideration of judge and attor-
neys.
Mrs. Haskell made a success of
her law practice because she took
her profession seriously.
She was exceedingly studjous and
Conscientious in the performance Of
her duties and Butte appreciated
the honor of being the home Of so
we'll known and highly educated cit
izen.
Mrs. Haskell had a great liking
for Butte, as was indicated in her
preference for this city as the place
Of her residence.
The members Of Butts legal fra
ternity thought highly Of her ability
and gave her just credit for it.
Mrs. Haskell never at any time
tried to seek additional courtesies in
court by reason of her sex. but de-
pended entirely on the merits of her
side Of the case and her knowledge
Of how to conduct it.
1t was not generally known how
seriously i'll she was and her demise
therefore came as a great shock to
hundreds IN the city. Accomplished

ceedingly clever in courts of law,

Vast corporations and their learn
