The 800 weekly and monthly la

States are a unit in condemning
the decision of Justice Wright, in
the federal court of the District
of Columbia, in pronouncing Com
pers, Mitchell and Morrison guilty
of contempt of court and sentenc-
ing them to prison.
The labor publications, without
exception, hold that the Wright de-
cision, If upheld by the higher
courts. will destroy the constitu-
tionai rights of free speech, pub
lie assemblage, a free press and
trial by jury. and will substitute
therefor judicial oiigarchy that
may act as Judge, jury and execu-

All the labor papers agree that
the issue should be forced up to
the United States supreme court,
and II the final decision Is unfav-

should be urged "a to enact laws
clearly defining the rights of la
Dor organization; and (2) restrict.

seems to be that a general call

For a moment Loleiki would

again by the circle of little stones.
What matter" he thought. "He,
Loleiki, was but man coyote, hav-
