sembly since that year also has failed to obey
the constitutional mandate. There should
be no question OF domination on the part OF
either cities or country, and in the minds Of
most OF the legislators there probably is not.
1t is merely Il question of equalization and
just representation OF which the cities now
are wrongfully deprived, and through which
condition their local affairs are placed at the
mercy or within or majority far removed
from their corporate bounds. Opposition to
the redistricting plan will hardly be able to
muster sufficient strength to defeat it in an
Assembly the membership of which is made
up Of fair minded nell.

The Railroad Demands

IT seems unthinkable, as ii always has that
any general strike OF railway emrIoyees
should take place III this country, thereby
prostrating every industry, forcing famine
disease and death upon thousands of ipuO-
cent people. And yet, such a thing is not
beyond the range Of possibility. II was not
believed possible that general coal strike
would take place III the United States, par
TALLY paralyzing the nation, but such strike
did take place; industries did suffer the most
serious consequences and even greater dis
tress would have been visited upon millions
of people if the government had not forced
the strikers back to work
Another and more serious strike is threat
cned. The organized railroad employees OF
the country are demanding further wage in
creases. They are renewing the petitions of
months ago and insisting that they will
De put on no longer. For the time being
only the maintenance Of way men are more

HARDING PLEASED
WITH PANAMA TRIP
He Is Storm Proof, But Mrs.
Harding Remains in State
room at Sea.

ON BOARD STEAMER PASTORES
| (by wireless to the Associated Press),
Novemb- r 29.-Homeward bound from
his vacation trip to the Canal Zone,
President elect Harding today told
friends aboard the vessel that he was
greatly pleased with the results Of
his visit to the isthmus. The Presi-
ent-elect stated that not only had he
enjoyed his recreation and outing, but
that he had gained much practical
knowledge about the problems con-
nected with the operation of the
canal, and had exchanged courtesies
with the officials of the republic of
Panama, which he believed will help
toward the maintenance of friendship
between the two nations.
The PaStores, which left CriStobal
yesterday, encountered rough seas
during the night, but got into much
better weather today as she headed
northeastward toward Jamaica, where
"a short stop will be made. Though
Capt Glenn classified the disturbance
las moderate, IL was stiff enough to
try the seamanship of the passengers.
Mrs. Harding kept to- her stateroom,
but the Presidentelect was on deck
most of the day amusing himself with
the usual ship games. Several ram
storms added to the thrills of the
days run. but during the greater part
of the time the sun was out.
The Pastores will reach Kingston
tomorrow morning, provided the pres
ent speed is maintained
Norfolk to Greet.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, November

tended President Harding, when he

committee on arrangements yesterday.
All plans for Senator Harding's enter
tainment have been completed by
Joint committee of Newport News and
Norfolk citizens, and the President-elect
will not find an Idle minute from the
time he arrives at Old Point at am,
December 4, until he leaves Norfolk for
Bedford City, Va. shortly before MD
night of the same day.
A United States destroyer will meet
the Pastores when she enters the VIZ
sinia capes and land the Harding party

be decorated and the Hampton roads
cities are receiving tons of bunting TO
be strung around the streets. A large
delegation from Washington, including
several senators and representatives. ana
a number of state officials from Rlcn-
mond will be here to greet the Hard
ing party. Separate arrangements are
being made for the entertainment OF
Mrs. Harding and woman memoers OF
the party. Efforts of the committee to
communicate with Senator Harding by
wireless have been futile.
