LABOR men
GO TO JAIL

| Washington, Dec. 23.-The famous
Company against President Gompers,
Vice-president Mitchell and Secretary
| Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor, was decided today by JUS
| tice Wright of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia adversely to
the Federation officials. Gompers was
sentenced to twelve months impris-
onment, Mitchell to nine months and
Morrison to six months. The case grew
out of the alleged boycott of the COM
oany's products and putting the COM
pany on the unfair list, and the FEEDER
ations alleged violation of Judge
Gouldss mandamus, and has attracted
wide attention.
The Bucks Company's prosecution
of the officials of the Federation be-
gan August 18th, 1907 The original
action was to test the case wherein
it was sought to enjoin the labor un-
ions from using unfair" and I'VE

Gould, of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, issued an in
Junction, which later was made perm
anent, forbidding the publication of
the company4s name in these lists
Gompers, in an editorial in the FEEDER
ationist of January last, made known
his intention not to obey the order of
the court, contending that it was a
gainst the rights of labor and an a.
buse of the power of the courts. His
case has since been before the court.

JUDGE WELTER ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY TODA,

To the people.-Inasmuch as in a
former announcement through the
Roswell Democrat for the Office OF
ments since that time, demands that
make some other statement now in
presenting my name at this time.
1t seems necessary under the pecui-
lar predicament that is before the
people at this time, to go into some
of the details of this matter and right
at this juncture it is proper for me TO
state that am a Democrat from prin-
founders of the city in its earliest de-
lfberations; and through the many vi
cissitudes through which the demands
of the party have passed during the
great development of our national and
local affairs.
l believe that an official should be
for all the People. The Democratic
principles have always professed to
of equal rights to all men," and "spe-
cial privileges to no man." They have
proclaimed from the vale AMI the
house-top, that the voice of the peo-
pie and only the voice of the people,
should give consent and direct legis-
lation and the dictation of matters
that are for the government of the
people and their welfare, and that no
man Or set of men should usurp to
themselves, the prorogatives that be-
long to tine people, and use them for
their own personal spleen and the ad-
vancement of their own sordid ends:
and especially so when placed in
trusted and sacred position by their
people. Whenever men abuse such
confidence, it is time for a rebellion;
there is no other way to keep politics
clean than to demand of the leaders
in whose hands the confidence of the
people have been placed to tine square
deal and honest always seeking the
interests of their constituency, rather
