WASHINGTON, May 28.-Mem- bers of the House never have quite so much fun as they do when Percy Edwards Quin arises to ad- dress them.
 Percy is the bie-voiced. hard hitting gentleman from Mississippi He has been in Congress something like 16 years, during which time he has come to be known as one of the most colorful men on the hill.
 He is colorful because no one knows what he will do next. He is as liable to rip off his collar in the midst of an impassioned speech as not-has, in fact.
 Just the other day, during con- sideration of the conference report on the tariff bill, Percy staged one Of his shows. He had the House convulsed over so prosaic a subject as cement.
 When he gets up to speak, he is greeted with thunderous applause But invariably his colleagues quiet down that they may hear his num- erous cracks. His speeches arc punctuated with cries of Louder

The Cinema branch was abandoned, and the creek line maintained as a narrowguage.
 For the present the track will not be taken upy Col. Ohlson announced. It will remain in place for the pe- riod, of one year, after which a final decision will be made as to it's future status. Col. Ohlson said he was convinced it would never again be necessary to resume operations over 1t. sa

 Col. Ohlson had intended to close the line last winter, but, when pe- titioned by Fairbanksans and creek people, consented to defer action At that time he pointed out that there was sufficient business to jus. tify operations if it were routed over the road the year round. bu that summer freight was hauled over highways instead of being shipped by rail.
 He agreed to continue the opera tions with the understanding that the road would receive fair share : Of the summer business. The busi- ness was diverted this Spring and SO. it seems to me it is the peoples own choice" said Col Ohlson in announcing the shutdown.

 The ranking minority member on the House Military Affairs Com mittee, Percy has knack of de- laying or killing those bills to which he is opposed by introducing facetious amendments.
 Not so long ago an attempt was made in the House to enact leg islstion which would make a per- son, who circulated harmful infor- mation about the status of a fa- tional bank, subject to prosecution. Percy couldn't see the justice in it.
 Boil weevils cause banks to bust" he snorted, mot what people say about them"
 So he got busy and proposed an amendment making the president of bank who gave out harmful information about the financial status of an individual subject to prosecution as well.
 And he succeeded in having the objectionable m n m ent with ldrawn.
 On the floor, Percy spends most of his time in the Democratic cloakroom smoking his long-stem- med pipe and gossiping with his colleagues. He rarely misses roll call In fact. his zeal in this re- spect has often made him the butt of joking friends. One, who has 6 voice easily mistaken for McDuffie the Democratic whip, delights ir seeing Percy bound into the cham Der on fake call.

Convention Sell-Out

and then right back again to acceptance of
what he had originally proposed - that all
power be IN effect concentrated in the hands
of his hand picked scales committee
The scales Committee report was adopted
1t calls for Reimbursement of the present
agreement as a basis for the new agreement
1t demands that the check-off system be in
corporated in the agreement 1t calls for the
abolition of the individual contract system"
but not word is said against the big con-
tractors-or the evils of the entire contractor
system. No increase in wages is to be de-
manded; no decrease in hours; no unemploy-
ment relief.
In unorganized form, the Hazelton Conven-
ton did, nevertheless, show the growing pres
sure and discomfort of the masses of miners
in the hard-coal region. Hundreds of resolu-
tons calling for wage increases, shorter hours,
fewer days, ETC., were presented by the locals.
Some locals adopted the demands of the
NM.U. very consciously; others less So The
6-hour day and 5-day week, wage increases,
unemployment insurance, against the entire
contracting system, etc.
Hazelton showed all the weaknesses of the
left wing movement in the anthracite. Too
little work was carried on within the UNI.
WA. prior to the convention 1t is true that
IN few locals we got our resolutions adopted;
but this work was not carried on systematic
ally There were very few N.M.U. delegates
present-and these the Lewis thugs were able
to overawe
Hazelton shows that we must greatly inten-
sify our work of breaking through U.M.W.A.
locals, reaching the rank and file over the
heads of the officials, and mobilizing them for
the N.M.U. program. This, of course, in no
way means abandoning our independent or
ganizational activities for building up the
N.MU.-on the contrary-working outside of
the U.M.WA. and inside the locals must sup
pemcnt each other.

SCRANTON, Pa. (By Mail).-The con-
vention of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea held at Scranton, Pa, was of vital impor-
lance to the anthracite miners 1t showed the
danger of "progressives" again taking con-
troll of the situation and diverting the miners
from struggle, and the urgent necessity for
carrying on the most energetic campaign to
build up the National Miners Unon in the
anthracite, to prepare for strike on Septem-
Der /, and to keep the Lewis-Boylan sellout
claiming the miners to an infamous slave
agreement for five years more from going
through
1t is important to estimate this convention
correctly, in view of the many misleading
descriptions that have appeared in the bour-
geos, fascist United Mine Workers of Amer
lea and the social-fascist press, pcturing the
convention as a rank and file gathering in an
attempt to get the anthracite miners to ac-
cept the sellout convention decisions.
False Victories.
Although Lewis was voted down on two i'm
portant issues-the question of printing all
resolutions adopted by the locals pertaining
to the coming agreement (meaning in effect
that the convention was determined to con-
slider these decisions); and the proposal to
give the Lewis henchmen (scales committed,
all power to negotiate the agreement with the
operators, these victories" proved to be emp
ty ones. The spineless and treacherous So
called "insurgent" leaders, McCrone, from the
Scranton Central Labor Union, former
ally of McGarry, who led the last fake fight
in the anthracite, and Horan opposed the ma
chine in order to strengthen their own bid for
positions with the machine.
The "revolt," tactly supported by the tri-
district officials, was threat to Lewis that
he had better go easy with the progressive
takers in the anthracite. When the resolutions
were voted these "oppositionar elements per-
---'4'aa Lewis to lead them into a blind alley
