LOSE ON APPEAL
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrl,
son Guilty Of Contempt.
"NO MAN ABOVE THE LAW"
Question Is Whether Courts Are
TO Be Defied.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The District
court Of appeals has affirmed the de.
cree Of the supreme court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia adjudging President
Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank
Morrison and Vice President John
Mitchell of the American Federation
Of Labor guilty of contempt of court
in the Buck Stove and Range COM
pany case. Chief Justice Sheppard
dissented from the opinion of the
court on constitutional grounds.
Individual interest" Justice Van
orsdell said, "dwindles into insig-
nificance when compared with the
higher principles involved In this
cause. The fundamental issue is
whether the constitutional agencies Of
government shall be obeyed or defied.
The mere fact that the defendants are
the officers of organized labor in Amer
lea lends Importance to the cause and
adds to the gravity of the situation,
but 1t should not be permitted to in
fluence the result. II an organization
of citizens, however large. may dis.
obey the mandates of the court the
same reasoning would render them
subject to individual defiance. The
one has no greater right in the eyes
OF the law than the other. Both are
subject to the law and neither are
above it,"
The action of the supreme court of
the District of Columbia in sentenc-
ing Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor to twelve, nine
and six months Imprisonment in Jail
respectively, was the result Of the
failure of these three defendants to
obey the order of the court directing
them to desi3t from placing the Buck
Stove and Range company of st.
Louis. Mo-, on their unfair list" in
the prosecution of their boycott
against the corporation.
President Gompers had already de.
clared that IL the decision of the court
Of appeals should go against him and
his associates the case would be car
ried up promptly to the supreme court
OF the United States.

HEAVILY LADEN WITH WINES
Transatlantic Liners Hurry into New

New York. Nov. las II 1t we're
that all America suffered from one
great thirst six large ocean liners and
several smaller boats came hurrying
into the port of New York during the
last hours of October laden with
champagnes. wines, brandy and liquor.
But the thirst which prompted the
haste was one for gold-not for liquor.
At midnight Oct. 81 the duty on cham
payne jumped from So to $3.50 case
and on other wines and liquors pro-
portionately, because of the termina-
ton of a tariff agreement of the
United States with France, Switzer-

SO many large consignments of in
toxicants have been rushed to New
York that 1t is probable that never be-
fore has such an enormous quantity
of drink been on hand here at any
