change was made IN the rules OF the
House OF Representatives, permitting
bills to be introduced without the
consent Of the committee on rules,
and among the first bills introduced
was one BY an influential republican
congressman, Bennett Of New York,
seeking TO cut down southern rep
resentations placing Mississippi's rep
Iresentation at three members. Don't
Iyou realize that instead Of getting

races in the street cars In Washing
ton, which were overrun by the me-
groes to the discomfort Of the white
people. The measure did not receive
the vote of the solid South, and not a
