Freight on Sugar Cut.

A big reduction in the freight rate on
sugar from Cuba was announced yester-
day. the new price being 20 cents hun
bred pounds, against a previous rate OF
1914 cents. That reduction Is regarded
as approximately so per cent, because
at the same time steamship lines reduced
their requirements for delivery at the
dock from 5000 bags to 1900 daily,
which will result in considerable saving
to the shipper. The reduction in rates,
il was said is direct reflection of cur
tailed production on the island.

OUTING A SUCCESS
Large Number Of Columbian Players
Enjoy Attractions of Camp Co.
lumbus, Maryland.

The Columbian Players are back
home again, after big trip to Camp
Columbus, Maryland, where for two
days they enjoyed all the attractions
and facilities offered by this excep-
tionally pretty and ideal summer
camp. The beauty Of Camp Column
bus can hardly be overcstimated. Sit
uated one hundred feet ABOVE Brit
ton Bay, the camp has most lmpos-
ing view of the surrounding country
and valleys, and the bodies Of water
partake of the appearance OF beautl-
full lakes. The Southern hospitality
of the people of Maryland is always
very much in evidence, and through
out the stay of the Columbian Players
the Xaverian Brothers and the people
of Leonardtown seemed to vie in ex-
tending to the Columbian Players all
kinds of courtesies. The party of over
sixty people arrived at Camp Colum-
bus, which is a mile beyond Leonard
town, shortly before noon Sunday.
After a we'll prepared luncheon, the
party enjoyed the exceptionally good
bathing, passing the entire afternoon
in the enjoyment of the acquatic joys
that Britton Bay so plentifully offer
ed. The dinner that followed was sue
ceedcd by a delightful motor trip over
Britton Bay and the Potomac River
in the motor boats, "Dreamland" and
columbus" The Xaverian Brothers
have during the past year built at
Leanordtown beautiful and impress
sive college building, and on Labor
Day morning the Columbian Players
were shown through this building,
which is three stories high, and which
can accommodate around two hundred
and fifty students. The Columbian
Players have made tentative arrange
ments for the reproduction of their
late musical comedy success, "All
Aboard" for the benefit of the Xaver-
ian Brothers who left nothing un-
done for the entertainment of the
players while at Camp Columbus.

Britons Believe, However,
Lloyd George Will Hold
Out For Parleys
CABINET TOMORROW
Will Act On DeValera's Latest Reply
Plenty of War Talk in Ulster
Decision Expected Soon

London, Sept. 6.-(Special Ca
ble) Strong Influences are et work
to cut short any Further negotia-
tions between the British Govern
ment and Sim Fein, and they are not
without influential spokesmen in the
British Cabinet.
Yesterday evening ! learned from
well informed quarters that several
of Premier Lloyd Georges col
leagues argue that any further pour
parlers with De Valera would be a
waste of time and insist that the
moment has arrived when the truce
should be denounced.
In view of these devlopmnts to-
days preliminary cabinet confer
ence on De Valera's latest reply will
be of high critical character There
is still a belief, however that Lloyd
George will urge further parleying
in the hope of bringing about some
basis for negotiations.
It is stated that certain members
of the Cabinet, who are hopeful OF
making successful appeal to Ulster
and az the same time of securing
Irish unity, advance the idea OF max
ing allegiance to the Crown the sole
stipulation preliminary to the con-
ference with the Irish spokesmen.
While there was plenty of war
talk. today from Ulster, the British
press is almost united in advising
Lloyd George not to let phrases
stand in the way of a conference.
The London correspondent OF the
Manchester Guardian commenting
on the move today by the coercion
lists to end the truce, writes:
"De Nalera's last letter has en-
couraged all the shortsighted ele-
merits Of. our craftsmanship in the
Cabinet in the War Office and in
Dublin Castle. 1t is the familiar
case of short sight against a long
view.
Those who take the short view
argue that the Sim Fein is strength
ening it's position; that the negotia-
tions are being used for consollda-
ting its military and political forces
that there is no prospect OF set,
tlement on Government lines, and
that having convinced the world
that Ireland's legitimate grievance
is gone, the Government can proceed
to measures of coercion without in
CURING the worlds displeasure.
"To the ordinary observer here
and elsewhere it would seem very
terrible catastrophe if the negotla-
lions collapse. The Prime Minister
never would be forgiven for that. .
1t is not expected the Government
will make known it's decisions until
after it's full meeting at Inverness
on Wednesday but at the prelimi,,
nary meeting tomorrow it is expected
the general iine of procedure vii! be
fully outlined.

Soviet to Establish Minimum
Wage Scale

Riga, Sept. 6.-Establishment of a
minimum wage scale, under which
workmen are to be paid sufficient
money to enable them to buy neces-
sary food supplies, has been decided
upon by the Russian Soviet Govern
ment. The present system OF payment
of bonuses in the form of commodi-
ties is to be abolished.
Wages are to be divided into II
categories, ranging from minimum
of 227, 500 rubles monthly to maxi
mum of 6S2,500, which sums are
figured as approximately equal to 81
and S2l. A pound of bread now costs
1000 roubles, or cents.
The Moscow Pravda says that as
soon as the collection Of grain for the
natural tax is finished the Soviet
Government will turn its attention to
the problem of decreasing the issue
of currency and stabilizing its value.

Labor Day was a most happy day
for those who attended the Queen

of girls and boys, each providing his
or her own lunch went down the

lightful time in the water, they came
ashore to enjoy the picnic as we'll as
