criticises EditorialIy Decision in Buck
Stove and Range Case.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Although en-
joined IRON making any reference to
the controversy between the American
Federation of Labor and the Buck
Stove and Range company, President
Samuel GompCrs, in an editorial in
the current issue OF the American
Federationist. comments on Justice
Gould'S recent decision at great
length and declares a purpose not to
comply with all It's terms. ut is an
invasion of the liberty of the press
and the right OF free speech" declared
Mr.. Gompers. I'VE 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. That this has
been done by judge-made injunction
and not by statute law makes the men
ace all the greater.
The matter of attempting to sup
press the boycott of the Buck Stove
and Range company by Injunction,
while important, yet pales into insig.
%nifCancc before this invasion and de.
NAL of constitutional rights. We dis
cuss this injunction and feel obliged,
as a matter of conscience and pTinci'
pie, to protest against its issuance and
its enforcement, yet we desire il to be
clearly understood that the editor OF
the American Federationist does moi
consider himself thereby violating any
law Of either state or nation nor does
he intend or advise any disrespect to
ward the courts of our country. And
yet inherent, natural and constitu
tional rights and guarantees must be
defended and maintained"
Mr.. Gompers states that the services
of some of the foremost lawyers in
the country have been secured ant
that the case will be carried TO the
United States supreme court.

Omaha, Jan. 27.-Vice President
Mohler of the Union Pacific railroad
denied that the heavy reduction TO be
made in the railroads mechanical
force was a political move, directed at
the present national administration.
The conversation with him, quoted in
a local paper, declaring that the presi'
dents mania for reform" was respon-
sible he declared to be only his per
sonal opinion, lot given out for publ,
cation. This conversation indicated
that the company would work with a
reduced force so long as the presi,

continues.

DECISION ON UNION LAW
Act Prohibiting Railroads from LIS
criminatinu Unconstitutional.


Washington. Jan. 2S.-The constitu-
t~ionality OF the act of congress oil
June l, 1898, prohibiting railroad com
panies engaged in interstate commerce
from discriminating against members
of labor organizations In the matter OF
employment was called into question
by the case Of william Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court of the United States
favorable to Adair. The opinion was
by Justice Harlan and held the law to
be r%epugnant to the constitution.
The court held that Adair, as master
mechanic Of the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad company, had a right to
discharge an employee because he was
a member of q labor organization just
as it was the employees right To quit
such employment because of his mem
bership in such organization. Such q
course. the decision says, might be
unWise, but regarded as a mere matter
Of right, there could be no doubt.
| Congress could not under the consti-
tuition authorize a violation Of con
tracts under the guise OF protecting
interstate commerce.
Judge McKenna delivered a dissent
ing opinion favorable to the law. In
which ne said the courts decision is
along very narrow lines.
