GOMPERS ON INJUNCTION.
Tells Why He Will Not Comply With
All It's Terms.

Washington, Jan. 25.-AlthOugh en-
Joined from making any reference to
the controversy between the American
Federation of Labor and the Buck
Stove and Range company President
Samuel Gompers, in an editorial in the
current issue of the American Fedora
zionist, comments on Justice Gould's
recent decision at great length and de-
clares purpose not to comply with
all its terms.
1T is an invasion of the liberty Of
the press and the right of free
speech" declared Mr.. Gompers. 1--WE
would be recreant to our duty did we
not do all in our power to point out to
the people the serious invasion of
their liberties which has taken place. -
Mr.. Gompers states that the serv-
ices of some of the foremost lawyers
In the country have been secured and
that the case will be carried to the
United States supreme court
The action against the Federation
of Labor and it's officials was brought
In the supreme court of the District
of Columbia on the ground that the
publication of the stove company in
the 1--WE Don't Patronize" list in the
American Federationist was in the
nature of a boycott.

Portland, Me-, Jan. ga fire which
caused a property damage of S1,0O0,-
900 destroyed the city hall and police
buildings and endangered the lives OF
more than TOO persons. Although
known as city hall the building was
divided between city and county
Offices, while the police building shell
tered the supreme, judicial and munic-
1pal courts in addition to the police
department.
That there were no fatalities is re-
markable, as there were more than
700 persons attending the Western
Maine Knights of Pythias jubilee gath
cred in the auditorium of the city hall
when the flames were discovered.
Only a few persons were hurt, Chief
Engineer Melville Eldridge being the
only one known to be seriously in
jured and he was able to direct the
fight against the flames throughout,
being supported by two assistants.
