"eRITIsH FAIR PLAY"

Under Laws Of Canada.

Montreal, Dec. 24-Alphonse Verville.
NJ p. president of the Dominion Trades

Dor is thoroughly disappointed at the out
come of the Buck conspiracy case In
Washington
The sentencing of Gompers and his
associates TO prison for carrying on a
boycott by publication could not have
happened under the laws of Canada. .
said Mr.. VerVille mot because our laws
are less stringent than those of the Unit
ed States. but because our judiciary have
a wider conception of equity. due TO our
sense Of British fair play.
American capital has decreed that
GOmperS and his associates shall suffer
the ignomimy of imprisonment, and will
succeed sooner or later in placing them
behind the bars, but when this happens
ii will make a new issue in America,
which may threaten the peace of the re-
public itself. The conviction of Gompers
will create more friends for organized la
Dor than anything else could possibly
have done. Americans in the bulk will
not stand for persecution"
