hours tonight discussing a proposition

strike of the cutters and trimmers is
undertaken, nearly 5000 sweat shop

GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
House Committee Reconsiders Ac-
ton on Statehood Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The house
committee on territories, which gave
the Arizona and New Mexico state
hood bill a bad setback at the session
last week, today voted to reconsider
the vote Of last week. It had been
agreed that if both Mr.. Harris Rep.,
o. and Mr.. Lefevre (Rep.,. N. " who
were absent from the previous meet
ing, asked for reconsideration, the
reconsideration should be entered.
This leaves the bill in the position it
was before the vote was taken last
week. The members Of the committee
who have been opposing the report of
Arizona and New Mexico bills, prin-
cipally on the ground that admission
of these territories would increase the
free silver strength in the senate, how
ever, assert that the action of the COM
mittee today has no significance.
