TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 1023, PRICES OF FOOD T0 BE LOWERED By Passing of the Freight Rates Report in the Commons. Ottawa, June 27.---8hortly after 11 o'clock last night the bill suspend- ing the Crow's Nest Pass agreement on freight rates for one year, except on grain and flour, was given {ts third reading. The much-heralded fight on this tangled question com- pletely collapsed. Only one standing vote was taken. This occurred when the matter was still in the re- solution stage. : The report of the special houss committee was brought down first thing yesterday afternoon by the chairman, Hon. A. K. Maclean. Sir Henry Drayton moved an amendment and the amendment wag defeated hy 43 to 169, a majority of 126. The figures as at first announced gave a majority of 125, but this wag cor- rected. During the vdte on Sir Henry Drayton's amendment there was some exictement. Willlam German (Welland), who was the only mem- ber opposed to the committee ra. port, voted for the amendment There was great cheering when kK. M. Macdonald, Hon. Walter Mitchell and Joseph Archambault, all mem- bers of the committees, and all of whom supported the railway con- tention for some weeks, voted with the government. Each of these three is a strong party man, and possibly party feelings dominated; at least that was the view most of the House seemed to lake. The bill now goes to the Senats, The upper House could kill ft, but if the bill is killed the entire Crow's Nest scale of rates will automatically come into effect on July 7th nex'. This will beckept well in view by the senators. GIFTS FOR MRS, SNELLING, From Chalmers Church Ladies' and the Y.W.C.A. Directors, Mrs. H. W.

At the home of Mrs, W. H. Allen, Victoria street, on Monday afternoon she was presented with a purse of gold from the Ladies' Ald of Chalmers Church, when Mrs. 8. W. Dyde, Sr., spoke of the regret felt by the menibers of Chalmers' church congregation at losing her from their midst and their joy at her recovery from her recent illness.

For the first time in many years of political history in Canada big rallway interests have come to par- lament seeking something they did not get. A railway lobby reminiscent in character of the old days of loans and bond guarantees, but this time after freight rates, has gone down to deteat. A powerful organization has learned that the people's representa- : in this parliament--or at least 4 substantial majority of them -- have decided that the citizens and Rot the corporations, are their con. stituents, Burley-Hagerman Wedding. The wedding was solemnized at the Princess street Methodist parson- : Saturday evening of Irvine Burley, and Mrs. Eva Grace . Rev. J. A. Waddell of- fielated.

The supporting east inejudes Pat O' Elmer L. Rice, Will Rogers and Will Shakespeare are given as the authors of Goldwyn's funniest comedy, "Doubling for Romeo."
