into a mere discretionary position.
 "lf that Is so" said Mir. Garrett Of Tennessee. the democratic leader, why wasn't it followed in the last congress-"
 Mir. Luce did not explain but said:
 If you hold the rules are superior then there is no such thing as con stitutional privilege in the house.
 Representative Cooper of Wiscon- sin said:
 "The question Is not political; !t Is judicial. The constitution was drawn at the time Of the rotten boroughs in England and the desire of the fram- CTS was to have equal representa- tive for all, Now there are more voters in some districts than men, women and children in others"
 Representative Tilson of Connec- ticut the republican leader, contend ed that the constitutional provision as to reapportionment was not man datory, and he insisted that If the census committee were discharged In this instance the house would be flooded with bills involving the same question ot privilege with the result that 1t would "soon be tied In knot"
 Speaker Longworth refuscd 10 rule on the question Of privilege raised by Mir. Barbour, holding that 1t was a matter that should be de- cided by the house itself He point ed out that house precedents upheld Mir Barbour's position. He there fore put the question this way;
 "Is the consideration of the bill called up by tho motion of the gentleman from California in order as a question of constitutional privilege, the rules prescribing the order of business to the contrary notwithstanding?
 On tho question thus put the house voted down reapportionment.
 The New York democrats were opposed to new reapportionment at this time. fearing that in rear rangement of the districts by the Albany legislature the republicans would have an advantage.
 In the opinion Of leaders there will be no further attempt to reap portion representation in congress until after the presidential election of 1928.

Washington, April LPD .-- The vets turned to the American Fedor- alton Of Labor today for further shock troops to carry on their battle against the Nolstcad act al tho sen ae prohibition hearing.
 Officials of the labor organization. which is one Of the group reported on the joint legislative committed in charges Of the vets case were called upon to supplement. with their views and observations, the testimony already put into the rec ord from Assistant Secretary An lrews, T., S. Attorney Buckner Of New York and others.
 Mir Andrews, chief enforcement officer of the act, is to he called to lhc stand by the wet stratcgists be- fore their time expires Saturday. No interruption in the hearing Is eX- peced to result from the illness of Chairman Means who was stricken with an attack of appendicitis dur ing yesterdays session.
 The dry leaders have been uccum- ulating a store Of notes during tho presentation Of the wet attack in preparation for their counter -offen- sive next week against modification Of the prohibition law and In favor of enactment of restrictions even more drastic than those now exist ing.
 Puts Cost High
 They were especially active at this work yesterday during the second day Of testimony by MT. Buckner who estimated that enforcement of prohibition in New York state would cost s75, 900 year if trial by jury were accorded In all eases. and SS,0o0,000 If petty offenders" were tried merely by commissioners.
 Two of the dry members of the house, meanwhile, have already taken occasion to express their opin- ion of Mr. Buckner's testimony. Representative Summers republican of Washington, told a woman s Christian Temperance union meeting Hast night that he thought "the dis trict attorney subjected himself to impeachment when he made state lments against constitutional amendment that every school boy knows is untrue" and contended that New York and It's politicians are disqualified witnessos' in prohipi- ition hearing.
 Representative Ketcham, ropub- lican, Michigan, speaking at the same meeting, voiced the opinion that the most lamcntahle thing about this is the fact that the dis trict attorney of one of the greatest population centers of the country would lend himself to proposition Hike this.
