Dor.
President Gompers himself address,
ed the meeting at New York. He
did not question the personal integrity
of the members of the supreme court,
but argued that they and all the sue
cessful lawyers and judges had been
educated wrong by being required to
accept the dicta Of the courts In recent
years In order to be advanced. These
decisions had been bought by the vest
ed interests in recent years and so the
mistakes were perpetuated. The SUI
preme court had tried to place capital,
a dead thing. on an equality with la
Dor, live creature. Boycotting might
be declared illegal, but IT know of no
law or order that can compel you or
me to buy a range from the Bucks
Stove and Range company All the
meetings voted to work for the defeat
of congressman who voted against la
Dor legislation.

mand of the Federation of Labor for

the Sherman law, because it would le-
galize the boycott, and opposes the anti
injunction BILL
