BECK ANSWERS GONPERS.
General Counsel Of 4nti-Boycott As
sOciqtiOn ReDIies to Editorial.

James n Beck general counsel of the Aneri-
can Anti Boycott Association. under whose direC-
ton iniunctions have been obtained in the federal
courts against the American Federation Of Labor,
said Yesterday with reference TO the editorial Of
Samuel Goupers in the current -iFederationst''s
The Supreme Court needs no defence from M
Compers's attacks. Its procedure may, as he says,
be u7ediaaval and its economics antiqUated, but its
recent decision in the Danbury Hat case was at
least based upon the Constitution OF the United
States, which guarantees liberty Of contract
Mr.. Gompers has far yielded 10 the author
ity Of law to drop the unfair list from the
columns Of The Federationist but not
deceived by this concession. We know that the
boycott can be pushed secretly well openly,
by innuendo as by direct order and that there can
be no complete remedy until the United States en-
joins the federation from maintaining boyCotts
against the interstate sale and shipment Of COM
rnerCiaI products.
We DO ask that the federal government
shall move 10 dissolve the American Federation
for labor organizations legitimate and may be
beneficial 10 employer and eTnploye alike. Our war
has not been against labor organizations, but
against the boycott We reason why any
complaint from to the federal government
should be necessary II has full power to act on
its initiative. II. however. formal complaint
be necessary IL will not be wanting"
