Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison sub
sequently were cited for contempt, and
this phase of the case has been before
the court for many months, the pro-
ceedings taking the form of hearing
of testimony before an examiner and
many arguments.
Scathing Denunciation.
Judge Wright's decision was a scath-
ing denunciation of the defendants. He
recited the conditions anteceding the
injunction and referred to the fact that
for twenty-five years the Bucks plant
had operated as a ten-hour shop, and
always had maintained an "open shop"
He also spoke of the numerical
strength of the American Federation Of
Labor with it's 100000 members, and
OF it's repeated Endorsement of the boy
colt of the Bucks Stove and RanRa
Company, through the American Fed
erationist, the federation's official or
gan, speeches by the defendants, letters,
circulars, etc.
The court referred to the use of the
I'VE don't patronize" list and Unfair
list of the labor organization, and said
that members of labor unions were Il
forced and coerced into supporting it
whether individually willing or un-
willing, approving or disapproving, by
various methods.

tions bearing on the Bucks case AZ
