The matter OF the creation OF a court OF rel
erence and appeals on awards which has remained
I'm an unsettled state for some time, was brought
up IN the National Commission this afternoon, ana
caused a disturbance. Some time ago Mr. Huhu-
ley OF Alabama. introduced a resolution creating
a court Of appeals on awards. and constituting
himself ard Commissioner King Of Iowa, as this
anal court OF Jurisdiction This was defeated and
Mr. Totsley. OF Minnesota introduced "A subst-
tutc. which provided for the appointment OF Twelve
men as the OF last resort. The resolution
was tabled. however, after much discussion ana
to-day Commissioner Tcusley obtuined unanimous
consent TO take the resolution from the table ana
bring it up for consideration. He moved that it
be referred the Committee on Awards with a
request that they report on 1t tomorrow; but Mr.
Hundl.y Jumped t. his feet with the remark that
the proceeding was unfair. at the same time max
ing the point OF no quorum n" said that
majority OF n quorum had tabled the matter once
and that 10 bring 1t up again and refer It to
committee while the quorum WAS not present WAS
unparliamcntary and unfair
This aroused Mr. Tousleys ire and he retorted:
The gentleman from Alabama can make the point
OF no quorum II he wishes to hide some move IN
tbs matter that concerns him. but | deny that
there is any unfairness In ths matter or any sus-
picion OF Unfairness in my mind The Commission
has been doing business all day without quorum.
and To have that point made now on Il matter that
seems To concern the gentleman from Alabama is
more than unkind
The discussion grew warm with the chair vainly
cndcav oring TO restore order when suddenly Mr.
Roche. of North Carolina. Vas recognized on "A
point OF order He said MIR President. this whole
matter seems be- ont Of order. as hold here In
my hand a personal letter written on sheet of
paper bearing tn, heading Court OF Reference and
Appeals II that this court has alrendy been
established and is doing businef
The announcement created sensation, nearly all
the members leaving the aislcs and Going to Mr.
Roche for vi"w OF the stationery. 1t was nearly
five minutes before order restored. The Chair
announced that such body had been created. and
Mr.. Tousley's motion TO refer ha resolution to the
Awards Commute" wa adopted.
Commissioner Ramsey. Of South Dakota. moved
for an Investigation OF General ST clar's fuss with
Gate Inspector Thornby. and embodied IN his reso-
luton a demand that il Thornby be In the rish he
