Liverpool June 2S.-Work at the docks here is practically at a standstill. Four thousand additional dock hands joined the strikers today The Cunard, Canadian Pacific railway, Dominion, White Star, Ellerman and other lines. all are equal ly affected.
 There is no question of wages involved in this extension of the strike movement The'do men are fighting simply for the recognition of their union and the non employment of -unionsts.
 The crews of the steamer Haverford of the Red Star line and other lines at the docks here have deserted their vessels in sympathy with the dock men em- ployes.
 The Haverford was due to sail for Phil adelphia at noon and all her passengers had gone aboard when the seamen fire men and stewards walked off the ship.
 The strikers joined the crew of the Canadian Pacific railroad steamer Elm press of Britain and the combined force made a triumphal march from dock to dock, calling upon crews of each big liner to join them. In. a. short time the movement had spread so rapidly that all the transatlantic vessels here were de- serted.

CORNER IN COTTON
 IS BEING PR0BED Various Methods to Main
 tain Prices STANWOOD ON STAND Secretary of Arkwright Club Says Reduction of Wages and Cur
 taiiment Agreement Were
 the Means Used

Washington, June 2S.-Agreement among mill owners to curtail produc- ton of cotton goods and reduction in wages and in the number of working hours of employees, were means em- ployed through the Arkwright club of Boston to maintain the prices of cot ton products, according to Edward Stanwood, secretary of the club, who appeared today before the House com mittee on expenditures in the depart ment of justice. The committee is in quiring into the recent corner in cot ton.
 MT. Stanwood testified that the club was a social business organization in which cotton mills were represented by their treasurers, the club funds being contributed by the corporations repre- sented. The contributors include mills in many New England towns.
 Two efforts of the club to secure concerted action among the New Eng land cotton owners for. curtailing the output of the mills were described by Mir Stanwood.
 "On December IS, 1907," he said. the club instituted a policy. of curtailment and a letter was read from Richard Olney. given as his opinion that an agreement dDlOHE COllOh lo Sui tail production would not be in viola ton of any law. A letter was read also from William Wood, president of the American Woolen company. in which he said his concern was ready to curtail its output and expressing the hope that the cotton spinners would agree. to curtail. At that meeting committee was appointed to draw up a circular for. the signature of the cot ton spinners agreeing to curtail their output"
 Did all the firms represented agree to curtail?' asked Chairman Beall Probably not more than half did. In February, 1908, we considered 'curtail- ment of production and an early re- duction in wages; throughout, the New England mills. A committee appoint ed to consider these questions never reported In october, 1909, an agree ment was made blythe members of the club to cut the working hours of each week from October. 1909, to. August, 1910,a to 56 hours. The agreement was generally observed"

RECIPROCITY |SA BRUTAL BETRAYAL .OF LOYAL FARMERS" Bitter Arraignments of Bill Made By Borah and
 Cummins WARM CRITICISM
 OF THE PRESIDENT Cummins Says Taft Exceeded His Power in Negotiating for Cana dian Agreement-Not Repub-
 licanism Says Borah

Washington, June 2S.-This was a day of bitter arraignment Of the Canadian reciprocity bill in the Senate. Beginning with Senator Cummins' attack on the measure as legislation unjust to the as- ricultural interests and concluding with Senator Borah's denunciation of the bill as republican betrayal of the farming in tereats. the debate was al lantagonistic to the agreement and critical of the Presi- dent and his methods.
 The Senate gave but partial attention to the speeches. although they were among the most important that will be made against the bill. Several times call of the Senate was demanded. Senator Nell son of Minnesota finally proposed that as so little attention was given to the sub ject, the Senate take a recess until No vember or December,
 Senator Cummins, who will continue his speech tomorrow, attacked not only the construction of the reciprocity agree ment itself. which he said put the whole burden of free trade upon the farmer without giving him any benefits in the guise of reduction of duty on manufac- tured products, but he criticised also the power exercised by the President to ne- gotiate it. and to bring 1t to the point of definite agreement between the two countries. H
 In doing this. said Senator Cummins, the President had surpassed the powers of Congress, and had exceeded the power lodged in him to deal with foreign nations upon revenue matters. If reciprocity agreement was to be made with Canada, he said, the original proposal should have come from Congress, instead of through presidential advances, which had brought the agreement to a point where Congress was assured 1t could not be changed or me ndod

BANKER MORSE IS DENIED FREEDOM Judge Newman Says He Must Serve Ten Years APPEAL IS TAKEN Federal Jurist Says He Has No Doubt of the Legality of Morse's Con

 Prison

Atlanta, June 2S.-Charles w Morse today was denied a writ of habe..s corpus for which he applied to Federal Judge Newman to obtain his release from the Atlanta prison, where he is serving 15-year sentence for viola tion of the national banking laws.
 Judge Newman did not pass upon the contention that Morse could not be forced legally to serve more than 10 years of his sentence. but he sustained the validity of 10 years of the sentence He rejected Morse's plea that the Att lanta prison could not be used for the confinement of those sentenced to inn prisonment without hard labor.
 T do not think any relief can be granted under this petition at this time,' said Judge Newman. "The .ques- ton Is whether this petition presents anything which would require that something be done now for the pe- titioner. l think this sentence is un- questionably good for 10 years. Wheth- CT it is good for 15 years cannot be passed on at this time. The time has not come to decide that would un- questionably have no right now to in terfere with the sentence even if it is for 10 years. l do not believe that Morse's status as a prisoner can be de- termined upon a writ of habeas corpus, which as presented in this case, is an anticipatory petition The writ of habeas corpus is to determine whether or not the prisoner shall be discharged n rapnanded sN

THISTLES IN DRY COUNTRY
Extent to Which This Pest Prevails
Is Positively Aiarming-Farmers
Should Fight II.

The extent to which this pest pre-
walls In dry areas is positively alarm
ing Where grain crops are grown
every year, the thistles come in and
take possession OF the crop In dry
year. The possession Is so complete
in many instances and the thistles
grow so closely that they cannot make
a rank growth. They not only smother
the grain, but they crowd each other
to such an extent that they cannot
possibly make a strong growth. In
some areas this Is true Of whole
fields and of every field in which grain
is grown in a dry year such as the
present. says writer In the Dakota
Farmer. l speak not from hearsay.
but from observation.
What is to be done to meet the
evil? OF course where every farm
grows Russian thistles in an unfenced
country, 1t will be impossible to keep
any farm absolutely free from the
thistles. 1t should be possible, how.
ever, to prevent them from doing
great damage.
The summer-fallow will remove
them from the surface soil for the time
being. providing the work is thorough.
but of course they may roll over the
land and strew seed on 1t the follow
ing autumn or winter. <rs-.,- .... ..-
Land may be plowed Immediately
when the grain is removed. This will
prevent much seed from maturing
that would otherwise mature, and 1t
will prevent the plants from being
carried elsewhere by the wind. The
objection to this lies in, the difiiculty
found in doing this work at such a
time.
Winter rye may be profitably grown
on such land. Preparing the land for
rye will be hard on the thistles. Tho
following spring the rye may be hai-
rowed two or three times. This will le

rye If winter wheat can be success.
fully grown, similar results may be
made to follow.
Growing crop OF corn and caring
for 1t properly Will go far toward
cleaning piece of land thus infested
in a single season. Some of the seeds
may live over until the spring, but the
seeds of Russian thistles seldom live
more than two years.
Much may also be accomplished by
narrowing spring grain. The grain
may be narrowed two to four times
with much profit to the grain and with
great injury to the thistles. 1t Is not
the purpose in this paper to discuss
the exact methods OF narrowing. This
is very effective way of destroying
these plants. II all farmers were to
fight the pest as outlined. 1t would
cease to be seriously harmful.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Oats for the brood sows will pro-
duce better muscle for the pigs.
Don't rush matters when loading
fat hogs. A little haste may kill fat
porker
Pneumonia kills many pigs before
the herd gets used to sleeping In damp
pens or drafts.
The young boars that are to be de-
veloped for breeding purposes should
be selected at an early age.
For the breeding Of mules select
mares that have good sized, roomy
bodies and short, strong limbs.
Hang the windows so that the wind
will shoot overhead when they are
open, and not right on the cows.
There is hardly any reasonable
limit on the price farmer can af-
ford to pay for good brood SOW.
Frequent change to fresh pasture is
one of the best ways to stimulate the
growth of both the grass and the pigs.
The dreaded gap between fall and
spring pasturing has been successful
ly spanned in this country by the silo.
1t Is good plan to soak shelled
corn for the hogs and If 1t Is ground
before It is soaked, so much the bet
ter.
1t is generally advisable to study
an environment Of a locality before Sc
lecting a particular breed Of live
stock.
Give the young boar as many kinds
Of food as can reasonably be provided.
but do not make sudden changes In
his diet. $685.
After the pigs have been put into
the fattening pen in the fall they
should be fed all that they will eat
with a relish.
II little rape seed is sprinkled in
with the rye, a variety of feed will be
provided, and the hogs will do even
better than upon rye alone.
The special care Of the young boars
should commence at weaving time.
when they should be separated from
the gifts and other hogs placed in a
yard away from the rest Of the herd.

Tor winter is splendid thing on the
farm In growing live stock cheaply
The field In blue grass can be pas.
tured early in the spring and then al.
lowed to grow up without pasturing
during the summer and fall for winter
use. One using such blue grass pas.
ture will find that colts and other
young stock will be healthier and do
better In every way than when stalled
for weeks and months at n time
Horses and colts will secure the grass
even when II is covered with a slight
amount of snow.
Although II is a good thing to turn
the stock out to pasture in winter
where there is something for them to
eat outside. yet they should have good
shelter on cold. wet and stormy days
and nights. When the animal is rest.
