House Of Representatives has been
Republican. It has consisted Of ten
Republicans from Wisconsin and Of
perhaps another ten quite SINH.
larly radical Republicans from other
States. That backbone now is not
going to be much increased.
This would seem to indicate that
the Republican party is proving

lettites and is more or less getting
abandoned by them.
They are turning toward the
Democrats. There were many more
Democrats than Republicans who
in this Congress supported the
Howell. Barkiey bill, which was the
principal bill demanded by the
labor forces in the last session.
Apparently among the new candi.
dates for Congress there also are
more Democrats than Republicans
who are in favor Of such legisla'
ton.
On Democratic Side.
In any case, the La Toilette
CongreseiOna effort In this cam.
paign Is overwhelmingly on the
side Of the Democrats against the
Republicans.
This effort may fall flat. On
the other hand, IL even moderately
successful, It would wreck the Re.
publican majority in the House Of
Representatives and would give
President Coolidge, If he is elected
a house which would not conceiv'
ably go along with him.
On the other hand, even in that
latter case, the House would moi
contain enough outright radicals
to be able to pass any legislation
really revolutionary in any genuine
sense Of the word revolutionary.
The sum Of the matter for both
Houses Of Congress win be as fol
lows:
/. The House, If it swings to
ward the left, will not swing
enough to do anything like passing
a Constitutional amendment FOL
giving Congress veto on the
Supreme Court.
2. The Senate, II it swings to
ward the left, win swing that way
even less.
The net outcome will be more Of
the same for the next two years
with the La Follettites perhaps
making some progress underneath

Decides to Act When Other Leaders Fail-Won't
 Hold Portfolio
By Tne Associated Press.

 Athens, Jan. | l.--Ex-premier Ven. izelos decided this morning to form q cabinet in which he will be premier without portfolio, with Georges Rous- sos. republican, liberal leader, as for eign minister. as the only possible solution of the protracted goyern- mental crisis.
 The strong belief prevails in im- portaht political circles that the only solution Of the crisis will be the as- sumption of the premiership by ven- izelos himself.
 M. Nenizelos reached this decision after General Danglis, who consented yesterday to endeavor to form a min istry, had failed in the attempt de- spite an all-night effort.
 General Danglis' failure caused the keenest disappointment to yonizelos as it was taken as apparently the only course remaining open.
 The most prominent orthodox lib- erals refused to cooperate in the forming of a Danglis cabinet. NJ. was next approached, but he declined the difficult task, and the situation continued confused.

LUMBER RATE REVISION
 TO NEW ENGLAND STATES
Efective June ION. Y., Penn and x. J. Get Reductions-Slight
 Increases Elsewhere

Washington, Jan. 11.-A revision of lumber rates from southeastern sttaes to New England and Eastern Trunk line territory was ordered today by the Interstate Commerce Commission effective June 10.
 On shipments to New York. north ern Pennsylvania and New Jersey the new schedules constitute slight re- ductions. To certain other points in the territory affected. there win be increases.
 The Southern Lumber producers had asked for substantial general re- ductions, on the ground that compe- tition from the Pacific coast was be- coming more serious.
 The force of the Pacific coast competition, which compisinants en- countered," the decision said, "ap- pears to be due primarily to the sub. stantial volume of the movement through the Panama canal and to the difference in costs of production. We cannot require carriers to reduce theft rates for the purpose of meeting water competition and we will not under take to adjust rates from competing producing territory in order to equal ize manufacturing costs.
 We find that the assailed rates from tho southeast 10 Trunk Line and New England territory are not unduly as compared with rates from the Pacific coast to the same destinations"

AMERICAN OIL FIRMS WILL NOT PAY HUERTA Have Ignored His Mandate That Each Company
 Loan Him $10,00O

New York, Jan. 11.--American oil panies with property in the Tux pam district have no present intention of complying with the mandate of Adolfo de la Huerta, leader of the Mexican revolutionary forces, that each company loan him 10000 pesos or approximately s1o,000 each, spokesman for the companies said to- day.
 The demand for the loan was re- ceived at p. m. January and di- rected that the money be produced within 4s hours. None of the com panies complied.
 Oil men said they did not believe the loan demand and the decree of de Ia Huerta that production oil taxes be paid to him. They pointed out that the demand for the loan called for payment by January while the oil taxes were due on January 10.
 Neither request of the revolution ists was acknowledged by the oil peo- pie. it was stated,
 Considerable apprehension is felt in oil circles over the next move of the revolutionary forces, private adviees indicate, 1t was stated, that de la Huerta has widened considerably the territory around Tuxpam which his forces control, and while some pump ing operations are being continued in that neighborhood, it is felt that is only a matter of time until all tho stations in that section will be closed down.
