tion-Punishmen 10 for Contempt
OF Court in the Celebrated Buck
Stove and Range Boycott Case.
Washington, Nov. .2.-The district
court of appeals affirmed the decree
of the supreme court of the District
of Columbia adjudging President Sam
uel Gompers, Secretary Frank Morri-
son and Vice President John Mitchell,
all of the American Federation of La
Dor, guilty of contempt of court In the
Buck Stove and Range case.
Chief Justice Sheppard dissented
from the opinion of the court on con-
stitutional grounds.
In announcing the decision, Justice
Wright declared that the defendants
had 'intimidated, browbeaten and
coerced" the patrons OF the stove COM
pany until it had suffered severe loss.
ants were allowed to give bail for their
temperance.
Sentences of the Men.
The fate of the labor leaders was
fixed Dec. %, 1908, when Gompers was
sentenced to twelve months imprisnn
ment, Mitchell to nine months. and
Morrison to six months.
The case grew out of alleged boycott
of the Buck company's products and
the putting of that company on the
unfair list, and the federation's alleged
violation of Judge Gould's recent man.
damus has attracted wide attention.
The Bucks compaHy's prosecution Of
August, 1907. The original action was
a test case. wherein it was sought to
enjoin the labor unions from using the
unfair" and I'VE don't patronize'' lists
in their fight against firms and in
dividuals.
Injunction Made Permanent.
Justice Gould of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia issued an
Injunction which later was made per-
manent, forbidding the publication of
the company's name In these lists.
President Gompers in an editorial
in the Federationist of January, 1908,
made known his intention not to obey
the courts order, contending that the
Injunction issued was in derogation Of
the rights of labor and an abuse of
the injunctive power of the courts.
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison sub.
sequently were cited for contempt,
and this phase of the case has been
before theScourt for many months, the
proceedings taking the form of hear
ing of testimony before an examiner
and many arguments.

Antiquity of Fishing.

Probably no branch Of industry can
lay claim 20 greater antiquity than
that Of fishing. Its origin would seem
to be coeval with the earliest efforts
of human ingenuity. for the Oldest
monuments Of antiquity show the fish
erman in full possession of the imple-
ments of his calling. and even those
tribes of sayages which have learned
neither to keep focks nor to till the
fields are skilled in the fabrication of
the hook, the fish spear and the net.
The earliest civilization of the eastern
Mediterranean was begun with fishing.
Sidon, which means fishery" was
originally fishing village. and its en-
terpriSing inhabitants devoted their at
tention mainly to che collection of a
certain kind of mollusks. from which
they prepared the famous tyrian pur-
pie. priced more highly for the rich
ness and variety of its hues than any
other dye known to the ancients.

WALSH WINS BY
COURT DECISION
Appellate Judges Deny Plea Of

Government Is Given Permission to
Keep the Convicted Bank Wreckef
Under Surveillance and Ask for an
Increase in the Amount Of His Bond
WALSH Says Decision Is vindica.
tion-steel Company Holds No op'
ton on Railways.
The United States circuit court OF
appeals at Chicago refused to can
eel John r. Walsh's bond of $4,000
and order him committed to Jail.
The petition of the government, filed
by United States District Attorney
Sims. citing reasons why the convicted
bank wrecker should be imprisoned,
was denied. but the government was
given permission by the court to keeH
Walsh under surveillance and to ask
for an increase in the amount of bond.
Plans for carrying both these sugges-
tons into effect were started at once.
A dispatch form New York says:
Former Judge Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel corporation, AT
thorized denial of the report from
Chicago that the Steel corporation had
secured an option from John r. Walsh.
the former banker, for the purchase
OF the Walsh railroads for the sum OF
$27,000,000. The following statement
was made by Judge Gary:
Gas far as the United States Steel
corporation is concerned, there is alb.
solutely no truth in the story. AS to
whether anyone else has secured the
roads have no idea"
Walsh failed to pay the ST, 21S inter
est on the note @of S7,121, 1857 held by
the clearing house banks of Chicago
before the time limit expired with the
closing of banking hours. This means
that the property put up, as security
will! go into the hands of receiver and
that foreclosure proceedings will fol-
low.
The railroad man and quarry owner
still has chance to save his financial
life, it is said. The collateral trust
agreement contains withdrawal
clause setting forth that II Walsh is
able to pay the price he may save
the property offered as security before
it goes under the hammer. There are
those who say Walsh is working and
holding of in an effort to get a better
price than any offered thus far for his
railroad properties.
