Committee on the Judiciary, before
which there has not yet been a hear
ing. In the House of Representatives
the resolution has been invariably re-
ferred to the Committee on the Ju-
dietary, which held several extended
hearings upon the resolution, before
which committee the resolution is still
pending.
It is planned by the Citizens Joint
Committee on National Representation
to endeavor to induce the members of
the respective judiciary committees to
take the matter up during the coming
session. They feel that subject of such
vital interest to the people of the Dis
trict and so generally supported by its
citizens through their organized bodies Is
deserving Of prompt and favorable &C
ton. This proposal has won many
friends in Congress and many more
friends in the legislatures of the diff
ferent States. The Joint Committee
proposes to urge the judiciary COM
mittees to act in order that the House
and Senate may be afforded an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the project. Then
in turn the House and Senate will be
asked to act so as to permit the State
Legislatures to act.
Results Are Encouraging.
The educational work of the Joint
Committee has been farreaching and
productive of encouraging results. This
has been carried on through newspaper
publicity, radio addresses, correspond
ence and addresses before organiza-
tons and conventions Practically every
section of the country has been reached.
The number of those acquainted with
the anomalous condition at the Nations
Capital is increasing rapidly. Actually
to know and realize that such con-
dition exists is usually all that is neces-
sary to enlist the support of the average
growing list of national State and
regional organizations, as well as indi-
viduals of influence who have pledged
their support to the Joint Committee.
To enumerate the local support is
almost to give directory of the leading
organizations of the District. There is
greater unanimity of organized approval
Of national representation than of any
other before Congress affecting the Dis
trict. The petitions ready to be pre-
scented at the coming session of Congress
contain the signatures of the chief OIL
GERS Of 81 organizations, and in addi-
ton the signatures Of the Republican
national committeeman and the Demo-
cratic national committeeman for the
District of Columbia. Included in this
list is the Central Labor Union, repre-
