state what the payment for labor
would be during the sugar making
season.
He was given a rising vote of
thanks by the audience present for
his instructive and helpful talk.
The meeting then resolved itself
into farmers meeting. President

fense asked Mr.. Walter O'Niell,
prominent planter, to preside.

following agreement was entered
into:
Cane cutters, male, would be paid
1926 per day; female, S1.50 per day.
