CENSUSINICATES " HANGES N HOUSE Héapportfonment Estimates May Be Shifted as States .i Complete Enumerations. By the Associated Presd. A probable upset of congressional 1e- #pportionment calculations was indi- _-cated today as a result of the 1930 State eensus enumerations thus far completed. ‘While it cannot be determined exact- 1y which States will lose Representa- tives and which will gain new members *of Congress, an Associated Press com- < pilation shows sufficient States have. . ‘sompleted their population enumera- Sign to give some indication of the prob- ‘Sole changes. __ When Congress passed its reappor- ~onment act, it was calculated the new ~wensus would change 23 memberships. . .Based on the estimated population of >-the States as of January 1, 1930, it was ~-estimated officially that 17 States would Jose & total of 23 House members, W] ‘would be apportioned to 11 States gain- ing in population.

B Says Juries Reluctant. Under the New York State laws, Lyons sald, it has been difficult for the police to obtain convictions. Juries, he sald, were reluctant to convict the dis- turbers, because they felt that the strikes constituted merely another bor disagreement. They did not re ige, he said, that a program of o1 violence was being carried ouf Communist leaders, which resulted in interference with business, felonious as- saults and sometimes murder.
