WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The
court Of appeals Of the district Of
Columbia affirmed the sentences OF
Samuel 0ompers, president, and
Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
American Federation Of Labor, and
John Mitchell, former president Of
the United Mine Workers, convict
ed Of contnempt Of court on a
charge Of violating the Injunction
and publishing the name Of the
Buck Stove Range Company az "un-
fair"
Sentence was imposed by Justice
trict Of Columbia, and appeal was
Wright Of the supreme court Of
the District Of Columbia, and ap-
peal was taken. The sentences
were: Gompers, one year; Mitchell,
nine months, and Morrison, six
months.
Now the cases will be appealed
to the United States supreme court
from the opinion written by Associ-
ate Justice Van Orsdel.
Justice Van Orsdel said: "Indi-
vidual interest dwindles into sig
nificance compared to the higher
principles involved in this cause.
The fundamental issue is whether
the constitutional agencies of the
government will be obeyed or de.
fled. The mere fact that the defend
ants are officers OF the organized
labor of America adds gravity "a
the situation, but should not be
permitted to influence the result.
If an organization Of citizens, how
ever large, may disobey the man
dates Of a court, the same reason
ing would render them subject to
individual defiance. One has no
greater right in the eyes Of the
law than the other. Both are sub
ject to the law. Neither are above
it."
