Has No Apologies to Make, and Tells
Former Forester to Make
Most of It.

After reading and digesting Clifford
Pinchot's sharp criticisms of him in the
statement issued by the former forester
and published yesterday Representative
Tawney of Minnesota chairman of the
House appropriations committee. last
night came back with few comments of
his own.
Mr.. Pinchot scored Mr.. Tawney for pro-
curing the adoption of a legislative pro-
vision which put the conservation COM

man ~ betrayal Of the future
This Is the way Mr.. Tawney replies:
IF II was betrayal OF the future to
write into the laws of the United States
that public money should NOT be expend-
ed without the authority of Congress,
then l am guilty. and let Mr. PInchot
make the most of it.
The provision of law referred to was
adopted after mature considerations A
practice had grown up under the Roose-
Welt administration of creating commits
siOns not authorized and paying the ex-
penses of such bodies out of the public
treas ury.
The provision was not adopted in q
spirit of ennlty to the Roosevelt admin

Ct good government to the end that no
executive department should have the
authority to spend money without the
express authority of Congress
II have no apologies to make for the
part l played in the enactment OF this
law.

GIRLS NOT TO ARB|TRATE
SHIRT WAIST MAKERS UNION
MUST BE RECOGNIZED.
No Terms With Manufacturers I'm.
til They Do This, Is Decision
of Executive Committee.

PHILADELPHIA, January 15.-Repre-
sentatives Of the girl shirt waist makers Of
this city today refused to accept the plan
for arbitration offered by the manufac-
turers.
The latter proposed that the strikers
resume work next Monday and that the
various disputed questions should be put
into the hands Of an arbitration board
composed Of five disinterested parties.
The manufacturers promised to abide by
any decision which the proposed board
would make.
The strikers are not inclined to agree
to any proposal that does not include a
full recognition of their union. The
executive committee of the Waistmakers'
Union debated the offer of the manufac
turers until an carry hour this morning.
The strike, which has been on for more
than four weeks, received greater impetus
this week by the recognition and assist
ance given strikers by believers in woman
suffrage and by prominent society women
of this city.
Delegations of these society women,
who visited police headquarters and de-
manded fair play for the strikers, were
fol owed yesterday to city hall by a COM
mittee of the gir.s who are still at work.
These girls visited Mayor Reyburn and
complained that they were prosecuted by
the strikers.
