STAGE FARE TO
 BE G|VENPRObE

The auto stage fare from Globe to Miami, or return, is 8 cents, duly es- tablished by the state corporation com mission and paid daily by many scores of people.
 But the trip either way can be made for 20 cents if one knows the ropes. This has caused much complaint by owners of stage lines running between the two towns and the state corpora ton commission has been called upon to adjust the affair. Commissioner A. A. Betts will be in Globe next Satur- day to investigate the matter.
 Midland, a summer resort located about half way between Globe and Miami. was opened this summer, and the jitneys, ill cutting prices to get the business, made rate of 10 cents from either town to Midland with a like fare for a return trip The thrifty Gila county man can see no reason for pay ing 35 cents for a trip that can be made equally well for 20
 The corporation commission heard evidence in the case more than a year ago and made an order The Hub bard people declare that the order has not been complied with. Commissioner Betts expects to spend two days in in vestigating the matter.

days had shown you the unwisdom of such course.
 That was clearly what you led me to believe. It was also the impression left on the minds of your colleagues in the cabinet and of your labor col leagues in the ministry. It was, there fore, with no small surprise that I re- ceiVed a letter from you yesterday afternoon stating that you ought to in form me, after careful consideration, that you had come to the conclusion you could take no other course than to stand by the advice you had given the day after your return from Russia and that your colleagues subsequently read the speech which you ought to have informed the cabinet of before you en- tered the conference.
 When you spoke at that conference you were not merely a member of the labor party, but member of the cab inet responsible for the conduct of the war. Nevertheless you did not deem it necessary to inform the conference 1 and your colleagues and the delegates accordingly were justified in assuming that the advice you gave was not in- consistent with their opinions.
 "The second point is this: Yesterday morning We received a most important communication from the Russian gov ernmert, in which We were informed that although the Russian government did not deem it possible to prevent Russian delegates from taking part in the Stockholm conference, they re-
 garded it as a party concern and it's decision as in no wise binding on the liberty of action of the government, and further the covering letter which ! accompanied this communication con- tained these words: I hasten to lay before you the above information as 1 fear that the impression hitherto has prevailed that in the words of one of the London newspapers Russia ardent l ly desired the Stockholm conference and this argument has been put for ward in order to influence British pub i lie opinion in favor of the labor and socialist parties of Great Britain par ticipating in the conference"
 Immediately upon the receipt of this ! irtimatiOn l sent it over to you with
 the request that you communicate it to l the conference. You omitted to do SO | It is true that in the course of your speech you made very casual refer ence to some modification in the atti- i tude of the Russian government, but
 there is a manifest difference between | the effect which would necessarily i be produced upon any audience by an
 indifferent summary of that descrip- l tion and by the communication to them of official information showing that the attitude of the Russian government 1 toward the Stockholm conference was very different from what had been supposed.
 Tn these circumstances your action does not appear to be fair either to the 1 government or delegates of whom you
 were addressing. They were left in i ignorance of a vital fact which neces- sarily has affected their judgment

 After hearing MT. Henderson's eXpla- nation of his mission, which strongly emphasized his views that the proposed conference at Stockholm should be merely consultative and not in any way binding, and premier Lloyd Georges de- fense of MT. Hendersons action, press critics of the labor leader still remained dissatisfied and rumors that he would be forced out of the cabinet came thick and fast

Yours sincerely, "ARTHTR RENDER SON

Premier Lloyd George replied:
 My Dear Henderson:
 T am in receipt of your letter of this morning rendering your resignation of your position as a member of the war cabinet and have received the permis sion of his majesty to accept it. My colleagues and l have received with satisfaction your assurance of your un- abated desire to assist in the prosecu tiOn of the war to successful con clusiOn, and they greatly regret that you can no longer be directly and of ficially associated with them in that enterprise.
 There are, however. certain facts with which it is essential that the pub lie should be acquainted with that they may form a correct appreciation of the events that have led to this regrettable conclusion The first is that your col leagues were taken completely bv sur prise by the attitude which you adopt ed at the labor conference yesterday afternoon. You know that they were in the present circumstance unanimously opposed to the Stockholm conference and you had yourself been prepared tC agree to an announcement to that ef- feet.
 Some days ago and at your sugges- tiOn, however, and that of your labor colleagues, it was decided to defer any such announcement until after the meeting yesterday. I was under the impression. after several talks with you, that you meant to use your influ- ence against meeting enemy represent atves at Stockholm What has hap pened in Russia during the last few weeks has affected materially our po- sltion in reference to that conference You admitted to me that the situation had changed completely even within the last fortnight, and that whatever ground you might have thought there was for delegates from allied coun- tries in attending such a conference . fortnight ago, events of the last few

LONDON, Aug. 11.-Premier Lloyd George tonight made public Arthur Henderson's letter of resignation and his acceptance, both dated today. MT. Henderson's letter follows:
 My Dear Prime Minister:
 At our interview last night I gath cred you had reached the conclusion that my retention of the secretaryship to the labor party was no longer com patible with my membership in the war cabinet. Recent experiences have impressed me with the embarrassing complication arising from this duality of office. In those circumstances. therefore, I deem it advisable to ask you to release me from further mem bership in your government. 1 con tinue to share your desire that the war should be carried to a successful con- clusion and 1 trust that in a non gov ernment capacity l may be able to render some little assistance to this end 1 remain,
