 Congress

Boston, Dec. 13-Gov. Foss is strong I,- in favor of calling a, conference of New England Governors to consider the railroad situation, but not just yet This is what he says:
 .sI favor it thoroughly. I doubt the wisdom, however, of calling such a conference immediately. In view of the Federal investigations now in pro- gress the calling of such a conference might coTnplica.te matters. I think It would be better to postpone it until the various pending investigations have proceeded far enough to produce more tangible evidence of results Then shall consider this matter of conference very seriously"

CONDITIONS IN STOCkYARDS
 DEPLORABLE Leader Haywood There to Aid in Organizing Says Govern ment Inspection is a
 Farce

Chicago, Dec. 13-"Conditions in the Chicago stockyards are as bad as they were before Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle,' p said william D. Hay wood, leader of the Industrial Work CTS of the World, today. Haywood is here in response to a call from the local branch of that order to aid in organizing the stockyards.
 Government inspection there is a farce. The only thing 1t does is to give the packers opportunity to put the government stamp on the products and get more money for them. And this inspection costs the people of the United States $4, 4,000, ,O0O.''
 Haywood described the condition of the men employed in the packing in dustrieS as worse than that of any other body of laboring men in the
 s'They work 10, 12 and IA hours a day. he said, and the average wage at the stocxyards is less than $7 a week.
 It is probable a strike will be call ed at the stockyards in a short time. The fact Of the failure of the strike there in 1905 does not deter the I. w. W. leader.
 "When we went into Lawrence after the strike began,' Haywood said many said the foreign element among the workers could not be organized, that there was no chance for the men to win.
 I've did win though and we have at Lawrence the largest organization

greatest vegetation pests of the farmers
there. as here. has been the Russian
thistles. or tumble weeds" as they
are commonly known. The army worms
have developed a taste for these this
ties.
The worms first appeared on the
farm of S. S. Hughes, and he thought
his corn and other crops were doomed.
But, much to his surprise and delight.
the worms devoted their entire attention
to the Russian thistles. They cleaned
up the thistles and left nothing but the
clear stalks standing and did not mo-
lest small grain and corn.
Having devoured all the Russian this
ties on the Hughes farm. the army
worms moved to the adjacent farm,
where they attacked the thistles with
vigor.
