G0MPERS'S FATE IN
KEEPING OF JUDGE
Argument i'm Famous Contempt
Case Concluded, but De-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.--Argu
ments in the contempt case Of the Buck
Stove and Range company against
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
John Mitchell, of the American Fede-
ration of Labor, were concluded to-
day. James NJ. Beck, of counsel for the
stove company, made strong plea for
his clients, in which he closely dis
sected the injunction OF tho court
against the defendants. and sought TO
show that they had put themselves IN
contempt by officially publishing the
company on the ''Wc Don't Patro-
nize' list
The name Of President Roosevelt and
his opinion of the boycott was injected
into the argument by Mr.. Beck, coun.
sci for the defendants, intimating, but
not charging, that II was an attempt
TO improperly influence the court.

Mr. Beck referred 10 the cruelty and
indefenslbility OF the boycott and said:
