Two Branches of Congress to

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-scouting
the idea that there is a water power
trust and defending Secretary Bal

criticism of his administration of land
laws, Representative Mondell of Wyo-

as opposed to federal control of the

ticularly on the nonnavigable streams.
Calling attention to the fact that
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,

contained half the available water
power of the United States. ne said the
phantom of water power monopoly in
that region, which certain persons had
attempted TO conjure up, was indescrib-

tress of millions, appeared today as
duly authorized labor leaders. charged
with the responsibility of directing, in
part at least, the strike of the 100000
girl shirtwaist makers here.
These two women, in conference with
officers of the union, decided yesterday
on a definite plan of campaign, which
they believe win result in victory for
the strikers.
A statement was given to the public
today saying that the two society lead
ers will provide adequate legal defense
for all members of the union who are
arrested while doing picket duty and
directing the strikers
At Miss Morgan's suggestion call
has been issued for volunteers to act
as watchers in the neighborhood of the
shops where the strike is in progress.

And with the full spirit of the thing
and the noble cause backing them the
rehearsals went forward, the college
freshies dancing on the improvlsed
stage with all the skill of tried pro-
fessionals and retiring to their rear
seat on the imaginary college terrace.
when, with a ring and cheer that
set the heart beating, the high school
groups danced their way into the hme

song on their lips
Then came the tennis group with
their laughter and song. and later gave
plaee to the Japanese and geisha
groups. with their odd oriental tea
nartv. their waving fans. their patter-
ing steps and their charming song of
"ITif." led by Miss Fernando Pratt and
Percy Hannigan.
The Mary James and Buster Browns
also waltzed in for their first rehearsal,
and although the group is not COM
pletely formed it promises TO make one
of the most attractive features of the
play, as the costumes are delightful and
the girls chosen for the part small and
pretty. This group VIII be partly under
the special coaching of Harold Bing
ham. who composed both words and
music.
The college widows and book worms
ended the days rehearsals, with their
slower and more musical dance and
their pleasing alma mater ditties. AS
the holidays will prevent few of the
meetings that were counted on extra
reunions will be called for the three
coming days this week so as to be in
thorough readiness for January IT,

fore the public for the benefit Of the
