Fitzwilliam of Milton, Peterborough, England. The petition is described by Randolph G. Adams, custodian of the William L. Clements Library, at Ann Arbor, Mich. as “virtually the last official effort of the Colonies to head off the American Revolution. Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill already had been fought. The Second Continental Congress had assembled in Philadelphia to decide what_should be done next.

The “copy,” which is unsigned, is probably the one still in the Dartmouth family archives at Patshull. In September Penn and Lee handed the “original” to Dartmouth. but were told that the King would not receive it. This signed copy | is in the public records office in London.

Strenuous opposition to the manner in which the Mapes bills were passed | by the House, and especially to the proposed change in the fiscal rela- tions basis between the Federal Gov- ernment and the District. was voiced by the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens’ Association at thelr January meeting last night. Adopting a resolution presented by the Legislative Commitiee, the associa- tion declared that “irrespective of the merits of the Mapes bills the associa- tion condemns with all tne vigor of United States citizens the railroading of these bills through the House, and commends the American attitude of the Senate committee.” Fixed Ratio Demanded. The resolution further asserted a fixed ratio of contribution is the only fair and just method of determining the fiscal relations basis. It went on record as opposing the change proposed in one of the Mapes bills “unless and until Congress shall determine and fix a fairer and more equitable ratio than that sought to be repeated, based upon proper findings of fact and conclusions s to the Federal Government's obli- gation to its Capital City." An income tax “is not objectionable in principle when designed to supersede taxation of personal property,” the resolution continued, but the associa- tion “nevertheless opposes any tax legis- lation designed to raise more than the District of Columbia’s proportionate part of the sum necessary to eupport and maintain the Federal terrfwory.” Would Relieve Other Burdens. A gasoline tax “sufficiently high to bear its proportionate part in the gen- eral tax scheme’—provided the funds raised in this manner shall be used only for road and street improvement and repairs, and in lieu of the present law providing for the assessment of the cost of such improvement against abut- ting property, was indorsed by the as- sociation. Five specific objections to other Mapes legislation also were set forth in | the resolution, copies of which are to be sent the District Committ in Congress, the Commissioners and the Federation of Citizens' Associations The association also indorsed the Capper anti-weapon bill and the bill providing for the National Aboretum Proposed laws to abolish capital pun- ishment and extend the power of the Commissioners were opposed Rudolph Memory Honored.

Forcible ejection of John Hindmarsh of Riverton, Ill, from the convention hall climaxed the disturbance, which began when he made a bitter attack on John L. Lewis, president. and other international officers, for failure to re- anize the non-union fields in West irginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ken- tucky Verbal exchanges between Hindmarsh and Vice President Philip Murray oc- curred when Murray started to reply, and when the Illinois delegate refused to resume his seat, his ejection was ordered. Companions came to Hindmarsh's aid and clashed with the sergeants-at-arms Several fist fights started. Minor rows and arguments broke out during which Henry Schuster, delegate from Scran- ton, Pa., also was pushed out of the auditorium John Boylan of di who was presiding, order. During Hindmarsh's criticism of the in ational officers, he said, “We don't like to advocate reduction of wages, but the policy of no backward step in Pennsylvania and Ohio was fatal to unionism in those fields. When Hind- marsh denied he believed a reduction now proposed should be accepted by the anthracite miners, Murray shouted that he “lies in one or the other,” and the disturbance was precipitated. The convention adopted by sections the report of the international officers advocating Federal control of the in- dustry, and approving the six-hour day and five-day week. Van A. Bittner, chief international representative in Northwestern West Virginia, in a speech before the conven- tion, defended his statements as to the policies of the union made at a hear- before the Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate in 1928, which had been questioned by a delegate earlier in the session.
