ed by counsel to refute the assertions

the committee had decided that the
strikers side would be heard first, he
would suggest that the causes leading
up to the alleged conditions be the
first subject of inquiry as necessary to
determine the justice or injustice of
the miners intentions resulting in the
strike. He also pictured the situation
as he viewed it and said that the min
ers would prove that conditions under
which they worked were appalling In

SCHOOL CHORUS
Will sing ruth

Under the direction of Miss Media
Chesterman, the high school chorus Of
Moorhead will put on Ruth. a sacred
cantata by Alfred Gaul, at S o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, at the normal
auditorium. The entire high school
has been working for this presentation
since before the Christmas holidays,
and the result Is a finished production.
The solo parts are taken by Margaret
Huntoon as Ruth, Beegliot Caspary
as Naomi. Alice Paulsr1d as Orpah,
and Emmett Sharp as BoaZ.
The music is classical in its simpltc-
ity aud it's l1armonies, yet very melo-
dious. The chorus, made up as 1t is
Of young and unframed voices, never
theless puts a Whole-hearted enthusi-
assn into its singing, which makes the
cantata truly impressive. The first
part, Sorrow, full of weird harmonies
and minor tones, is sympathetically
sung; the last part, Joy, is as full of
joyful spirit as a CRITICAL listener could
wish. Miss Olive Logan, with respon-
sive accompaniment, aids greatly the
| effect of the whole.
Moorhead may be proud Of its high
school musical achievement, and it is
to be hoped that patrons will give the
undertaking a generous support to-
morrow. No admission will be charg-
| ed,
