they are not entitled, according to
the intent of the Constitution. Yet

stitution contemplates that they

cording to Representative Henry ST.
George Tucker. nationally recognized
as an authority on the Constitution,
former president of the American Bar
Association. who began his congress
sional career in 1889.
The possibility of the election be-
ing declared stitutional as a re-
suit of this condition is not regarded
seriously by Representative Tucker.
This situation has resulted from the
failure. of Congress to make a reap
porttonment of seats in the House fol-
lowing the decennial census of 1920.
Article | of the Constitution provides
that Representatives and direct taxes
snail be apportioned among the sew
"ral states according to their respec-
tive numbers" and that this enumer-
alton shall be made within every term
of ten years. 1t also provides in sec
tion , of Article XIV that representa- :
tives shall be apportioned among the
several states according to their re-
SpeCtive numbers. counting the whole
number of persons in each state"

States Showing Gains.
Under the decennial census of 1920
and based on a House of 460 MEM
bers, sixteen states gain in the num-

are entitled by the proportion of their
number of citizens to the whole num-
ber of citizeus In the entire United
States. These gains are: California;
four; Michigan and Ohio. three each
New Jersey. New York, PENNSYLVANIA
and Texas. two each, and Arkansas.
Connecticut, Georgia. Illinois, Massa-
Chusetts. New Mexico. North Carolina.
Oklahoma and Washington. one each.

comes at the polls the rest will be
Elysium.
La bor is strongly organized in this
country and in the dominion. but not
all labor is organized, not by any
means, not nearly to as great a de-
gree as in England. 1t is well for us
to remember that to keep well in
mind that there is still much to do
in the way of organization. Where
would the vast numbers of the unor-
saniZed stand on this question of
iahor party, especially a party con-
troled and activated by the labor
movement? And that is the aim of
all of the organizers OF all of the So
called political combinations of labor
If the unorGanized men and women
will not organize. or may not organ
ize for their economic betteTmert, will
they be more ready TO organize for
their political betterment? Here is a
question that at least deserves most
careful and earnest consideration.
We have had in these United States
for generations two political parties
had other parties. of course. but they
have at no time been serious con-
tenders. or if they have it has been
but a flash in the political sky and
then oblivion.
Is this two-party nation? Well,
II is true that thus far the organized
labor movement has considered it just
rhat, and has proceeded accordingly.
Labor has striven to achieve its legis-
lative programs in nation and state
through one or the other of the domi-
nant parties. And all of the success
that it has achieved-and it has not
been inconsidera ble-has been through
the dominant party that for the mo-
ment has been in power.
Question as to Third Party.
Will the wage-earners, organized
and unorSanized. readily break away
from the dominant parties through
the lure of labor party? 1t is true
that the men who formed the republi-
can party did just that, but they had
a great and compelling issue around
which to rally. And that, by the way.
was also a question of labor-en-
forced labor But there still remained
two dominant parties. Has this idea
become more firmly rooted? Well, it
is just another question that must be
considered, and it cannot be brushed
aside with gesture. Gestures will

The report of the committee dealing
with political policy at the Portland
convention Of the federation in Octo-
her expresses so clearly the present
position of the organized labor move
ment that 1 quote it herewith. It is
of especial Importance, in view of
the recent English elections. The
committee said:
"The records of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor clearly evidence that
the American trade union movement t
considers of first and foremost impor-
tance the organizing of the wage
earners into their respective trade
unions and through their constant
economic and industrial power and
influence redress wrongs inflicted, Sc
cure rights infringed upon, and pro-
tect and promote their conditions of
employment and enlarge their re-
wards for services given.

Something new is being added
to the brother act in athletics
this fall, when the Robertson
brothers-Jim and Harry-com-
bine to coach the Oglethorpe
College football team in
Georgia. Both are New Eng
landers, Jim matriculating at
Dartmouth, where he became
one of the most famous play
ers in the East, despite a long
series Of injuries, and his
brother going to Syracuse.
Harry was also a player at
Syracuse and a good one,
through he never attained the
fame Of a season or two that
fell to the lot Of his burly
brother. Jim was a backfield
star Of the first rank, though
he had, perhaps, more hard
luck than any other player Of
his time, not going through a
single season without injury.
