LABOR LEADERS ARE CITED
Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell SUM
moned Before Court on Con-
tempt Charge.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-In the Buck
Stove and Range case, Justice Sandcrson OF
the district supreme court today summoned
Samuel Gompers, president Of the Amer-
can Federation Of Labor, Secretary Frank
Morrison of that organization and John
Mitchell of the executive council, former
president OF the United Mine Workers OF
America, to appear in court on September
8, next, to show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt Of the courts
injunctive order.
The citation is based on a petition Of the
Buck Stove and Range company OF 81.
Louis, which alleges that an order issued
by Justice Gould forbidding a national boy
colt by the American Federation of Labor
has been violated by the public utterance
and addresses OF the three labor leaders
named. 1t also is stated that Gompers
caused to be published in the Federationist,
the official organ OF the federation, a GER
tain article reflecting on the courts decis-
ion and in alleging open defiance printing
the name Of the Buck Stove and Range
company in the we don't patronize' list.
Gompers is reported as saying to several
newspaper men:
80 far as l am concerned I wish to state
this: When 1t comes to a choice of surren-
dering my rights as afree American citizen
or Of violating the injunction do not hesi-
tate to say that l shall exercise my rights
as between the two"
Other utterances are quoted in which 1t is
alleged Gompers and Morrison, in further.
ance Of an alleged plan to nullify the
courts order, have published editorally,
and otherwise, matter offensive to the
courts decision, including the name Of the
Buck Stove and Range company. Refer
ences, 1t is claimed, were made for the pur-
pose of keeping alive the boycott as It
existed before the order Of the court and
were so framed as to eject the sale of the
company's products.
John Mitchell, at a meeting OF the United
Mine Workers last January put to a vote
resolution to fine any member Of that or
ganization IS who purchased a stove or
range of that company's make. The resolu-
tion also provided for the expulsion of a,
member in default Of payment of the fino..

WILL TEST NEW RACING LAW
Driving Clubs I'm New Orleans VIII
Hold Regular Meets Next
Month.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 20-Much in
terest is centered here in the outcome Of
the so-called anti-racing law, which went
into effect today, prohibiting bookmaking
betting or gambling in any form on horse
races.
The races at the track OF the Louisiana
Driving club were discontinued Saturday,
but the interest lies principally in the effect
OF the law on the long racing season which
has been feature every winter in New
Orleans for more than a century.
No defined plans have yet been made by
the owners Of the two racing PLANTS here,
but It is probable that It will be arranged
to hold short meetings at both tracks dur
ing the coming winter and the law may
be given test.

that the movement will receive the

there is no question but that We
will have an institute and fair here
