SUIT ID STOP 4 BOYCOTT
A St. Louis Company Seeks to En- join the American Federation
 of Labor.
CASE MAY HAVE FAR REACHING EFFECT
Will be Carried to Supreme Court of United States, no Matter What the Decision, Because of Vital Interest to Organized Labor and Possible Political Developments.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The suit of the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis brought to enjoin the American Federation of Labor from boycotting the company's products was given hearing before Justice Gould Thursday in the supreme court of the District of Columbia. The case has attracted widespread attention because of the ulti- mate effect on organized labor and possible far-reaching developments of political nature. It is generally un- derstood that whatever the decision of the district court, the case will be carried to the supreme court of the United States.
 A somewhat similar case is already pending before the higher court, be- ing what is known as "The Con- necticut Case" suit brought by a hat manufacturer of Connecticut against the United Matters associa- tioD, which Is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor for tre- ble damages sustained in the destruc- ton of the manufacturers interstate trade by a boycott whoch he claimed the matters association and the feder- ation maintained upon his products, as far west as California. The hat manufacturer claimed that previous to the boycott. his interstate trade aggregated $400,000 yearly and that the boycott injured his trade $S0000 yearly. The case is now before the federal supreme court for argu- ment December and the decision is expected to determine whethr the Sherman antitrust law, with it's civil and criminal remedies. applies to the boycotts imposed by the federation through its official organ, The Fed erationist.
 The bill of equity in the Buck stove case, heard Thursday. cites the meth ads by which 1t is claimed the entire forces of the federation are concen- trated on a special boycott. In this case, while the application of the Sherman law Is only incidentally in- volved, 1t does involve the question whether the unfair" and "we don't patronize" lists as published in the Federationist constitute an unlawful boycott
 The plaintiffs Thursday presented lengthy affidavits as to the boycott operation upon which they asked a preliminary injunction should be granted Counsel for the defense ob- | jected to these affidavits on the ground that there was hardly sa- lient feature in any of them that was not mere heresay. The defense con tended that the proceeding was an attempt to invoke the Sherman anti trust law without warrant thereof and to bring into the jurisdiction of the courts of the District of Columbia people from all parts of the country; also that the subject was not appro-
 priate for injunction. They argued
 that the "Federationist simply pub lished we don't patronize it and any attempt to abridge the right to pub
 fish which, was violation of the free dom of speech and press" Argu.
 ments of counsel occupied most of the day.

New York, Nov 15-For several days reports have been in circulation that certain banking interests in tnis city are engaged in negotiations Tor the purpose of securing a large amount of gold direct from the bank of France. These reports also nave intimated that certain political qnes- tions are involved in the negotia- tions, with reference to some prefer ential tariff agreement. From au- thoritiative sources it is learned that the effort to secure French gold di- rect was made by the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Go. At the first intimation of pending financial trou- ble representative of the Morgan house was sent to Paris for this pur- pose. The Bank of France intimated it's willingness to seud to this country s20,000,000 gold, but because of its government character 1t desired some form of committal from this government in so large a transac- ton. Communication with Washing ton was at once begun and still con tinues in the effort to find some method by which the transaction can be completed It is probable, however, that even in event the Washington officials cannot see their way to par. ticipate in the matter the gold will be brought over. Collateral doubt less can be given until the exports to France cover the amount when the advance will be met by bills of ex change on Paris. It is stated that nc profit withever will result to the i'm porters of the gold, but that in conse quence win mean a loss and that it Is to stand solely as public measure re lief for the existing currency situa' ton.

COLORADO JACKlES TO
PLAY U. S. C. FRIDAY
Cruisers Squad Coached by Ensign
Stuart, Former Annapolis Grid
iron Star, Who Has Made
Them Navy Champions

The sailor football team of the cruiser
Colorado of the Pacific squadron now an
chored off Long Beach, have been on
shore leave just long enough to get their
land stride renovated and have chal-
lenged the University of Southern Cali
fornia for a game on the gridiron. Need
less to say the Methodist pigskin artists
were more than willing and Manager
Hunt of the university Immediately ac-
cepted the proposition of the seamen and
the teams will meet on Bovard field Fri
day afternoon at o'clock.
The shipmen are husky squad of play
ers, averaging near 175 pounds, and are
of course always fit physically The team
has arranged with the Long Beach High
school for the use of the beach school s
gridiron and practice will be held daily
commencing today, and the men should
be in fair shape to give the locals a hard
game. U. S. c. had about packed their
moleskins away for the rest of the sea-
son, not expecting any more games for
awhile at least. Again the broken prac-
tice periods of the varsity has tended to
make the players listless, and many are
far from being in good condition. So all
in all the contest with the seamen should
be a pretty even match, and If the sailors
are near as fast and heady as they are
strong, surprise may be in store for
the Methodist rooters. Holmes will have
his men out today for the first time since
the Whittier game, and hopes to get his
pupils in fair shape by Friday

MCENDLARY SETS FIRE
10 MINISTER'S HOME
While Revivalst Is on Street Exhort-
ing, Enemies Try to Destroy His
Residence-BIaze Started
from Outside

While Rev. j. w. Wright of 1926 West
Fortieth street was out preaching and
exhorting at revival in the vicinity of
his home last night some one set fire to
his residence in two places.
Before the place was fired a search of
the premises was made, evidently for
the purpose of robbery.
After the fire 1t was found that pic
trues had been pulled from the walls and
drawers of bureaus and dressers turned
inside out and other repositories of cloth
ing and household effects disturbed.
When Mr.. Wright's neighbors dlscov-
cred the blaze his domicile was burning
in two places, both back and front. That
it was an incendiary fire there could be
no doubt, as the blaze started from the
outside and there was the smell of oil
about.
The fire department easily extinguished
the fire.
Enemies of Mr.. Wright who are said to
be opposed to his vigorous handling of
many of the social and religious questions
of the day are said to be responsible for
the fire.
