What is regarded as a victory in
the water power fight has just been
won In the agreement worked out FOR
legislation granting to a private cor
poration authority to build a dam In
the Connecticut river at Windsor
Locks. The victory consists IN the
agreement OF the Stone-Webster peo-
pie to accept the terms offered by Gif-
ford Pinchot's Conservation Associa-
ton and by Secretary OF War Slim
son, which terms require that the gov
eminent has the right to an annual
share OF the revenue as rental for the
use OF this power. Hitherto the So
called power trust has opposed any
legislation creating a precedent or this
character. The Stone-Webster inter
ests are one OF the largest concerns
