THE GOMPERS CASE.

A st. Louis Stove Co. that en-
ploys nonunion labor was pub
lished in the American Fedora
ton of Labor's paper on the
Unfair" and I'VE n'tpatron-
ize'' lists. The stove company
got an injunction rgainst such
action. The injunction was will
fully violated and proceedings
were started for contempt.
Those proceedings resulted on
Wednesday in the Supreme
Court of the District of Column
bia imposing Sentences of Il
months in Jail on Samuel Comp
ers, nine months on John Mitch
ell, vice-president, and six months
on Frank Morris, Secretary, Of
the American Federation of La
Dor.
The three defendants at once
took appeals to a higher court
and were released on bonds, so
the question whether they will
have to go to jail is stillin abey-
ance.
If the court of last resort
should affirm the decision of the
Supreme court of the District of
Columbia and Gompers, Mitchell
and Morris should actually be
sent to Jail, to serve the senten-
ces, no one can forsee just how
great the consequences would be-
Of course these labor leaders
would be looked on by their own
people and thousands OF others
as martyrs to the caused Of labor
as against the corporations and
and as against capital in gener-
al. Their imprisonment would
be in its results much more a
political than an industrial or ju-
dicial matter. When trust mag
mates get immunity baths and la
Dor magnates get prison cells
there will b trouble and lots OF
it.
