LABOR MEN CITED
FOR CONTEMPT
GOmpers, Morrison and Mitchell
Ordered Into Court.
TO APPEAR ON SEPTEMBER 8

OFFICERS Of the American Federation
Of Labor Are Alleged to Have Vic
lated the Injunction Forbidding q
Boycott Against the Bucks Stove
and Range Company, Of st. Louis.
Samuel compers and Frank MorrI.
son Are Quoted In the plaintiffs
Petition.
Washington, July 21.--In the Bucks
Stove and Range company's case. JUS
tice Anderson. of the District supreme
court, summoned Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation
Of IaNor; Secretary Frank Morrison
of that organization. and John Mitch
ell, of the executive council and former
president Of the United Mine Workers
Of America, to appear In court on
Sept next to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt OF
the courts injunctive order.
The citation was based on petition
of the Bucks Stove and Range com
pany, of St Louis, which alleges that
an order issued by Justice Gould, for
bidding an alleged boycott by the
American Federation of Labor, has
been violated by the public utterances
and addresses of the three labor lead
ers named. 1t also is stated that Mr..
Gompers caused to be published in
the Federationist, the organ of the
Federation, certain article rejecting
ON the courts decision and In alleged
open defiance printing the name of the
Bucks Stove and Range company in
the I'VE don't patronize" list. Gompers
is quoted as saying to several news
paper men:
so far as I am concerned, wish to
state this: When it comes to choice
between surrendering my rights as a.
free American citizen or violating the
injunction of the court. do not hest
tate to say that / shall exercise my
rights as between the two"
Other utterances are quoted in
which it is alleged that Gompers and
Morrison, in furtherance of an alleged
plan to nullify the courts order, have
published editorially and otherwise
references to the courts decision, in
Guiding the name of the Bucks com
pany. These references. it is claimed,
were made for the purpose of keeping
alive the idea of the boycott as 1t ex-
listed before the order of the court. and
were so framed as to affect the sale of
the company's products. John Mitchell
at a meeting of the United Mine Work
ers last January put to vote resolu-
ton imposing a fine of S. on any
member of that organization who buys
stove or range of that company's
make. The resolution also provided for
the expulsion of a member in default
of the payment of the fine.
The suit instituted by the Bucks
Stove and Range company was direct
ly tried before the supreme court oil
the United States, and resulted in al
victory for the company. AS a result of
this decision the demand arose for So
called Injunction planks In the Repub-
lican and Democratic national plat
