PRESIDENT UNABLE
TO AID LABOR MEN
No Action Can Be Taken by
Roosevelt Until Cases of Union
Officials Leave Courts
Official Statement Defining Ex=
ecutive's Position Is Issued
From White House

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-In an off-
cial statement issued at the White
House today in regard to presidential
interference in the cases of President
Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison of the American
federation of labor, now under SEN
tence for contempt of court, attention
is called to the fact that the cases are
still before the courts and that no mat
ter what the presidents opinion may
De as TO the justness of the sentences
imposed, he cannot take any action
looking to pardon or express any opin-
ION as TO the merits of the case.
The text of the statement follows.
various appeals have been made to
the president to interfere by pardons
IN the case or Mr.. Gompers and his as
sociates. Those making the appeals
are not aware of the fact that the
matter is still before the courts. IT is
civil suit between private parties, and
mere mas been no way by which the
government could have intervened even
II 1t had desired to do so.
CAN TAKE NO ACTION
Whether the president does or does
not think the sentence of Mr.. Gompers
ana MS associates excessive is not at
present of consequence, because he can
not take any action or express any
opinions while the case is pending be-
fore the courts.
When the decision is made then the
president can promptly consider
whether the terms of imprisonment are
excessive or improper. But it is of
course impossible for the president to
act while an appeal is pending, for he
mas nothing whatever to act about The
court must finish with the case first and
the defendants are at the present mo-
ment at liberty on bail
IL the defendants see fit to abandon
f6a
course, be brought before the excu-
tive, IN which case it will receive inn
mediate and most careful considera-
tlon. But the defendants have a per-
fect right to prosecute their appeal,
and il unsuccessful in the final court
may then ask for a pardon or commu-
tation. But as long as they are prose-
cutting an appeal the president has
nothing to do with the matter
WATCHING CASES
The president has already instructed
the department of justice to keep him
fully informed as to the progress of
the case, so that in the event of its
becoming proper for him to act he may
have at his disposal all of the facts
which will enable him to decide
whether there was justification for
such punishment and whether the SEN
tence is or is not altogether too Sc
we're. But at present the president has
no more TO do with the case than with
the case of the $4,000, 900 fine imposed
by Judge lands on the Standard oil
company, which is also on appeal and
concerning which the president has
also been repeatedly asked to inter
fere by well meaning persons who did
while the matter was still before the
courts on appeal.
