LABOR LEADERS STILL
UNDER JAIL SENTENCE

the name of the Bucks Stove and
Range company under the caption OF
we Don't Patronize."
The proceedings against the officers
OF the federation was begun August
10, 1907, by the stove and range com
pany. After a comprehensive hearing
Justice Gould of the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia issued a tenn
porary injunction restraining the de.
PENDANTS from prosecuting a boycott
on the business and products of the
Bucks Stove and Range company.
Later this injunction was made per-
manent. In the appeal of the case
to the courts Of appeals Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, Alton B. Parker or
New York appeared as one of the
counsel for the Federation of Labor.
Reference to Bucks Stove and
Range company continuing to appear
in the Federadonist and in speeches.
and writings of the defe ats, the
company had Gompers, 1rit hell ana
Morrison cited to appear and show
cause why they should not be pun
ished for contempt Of court.
Mr.. Gompers had openly intimated
that he would not be bound by the
terms of the injunction. After the
hearing in the contempt proceedings,
Justice Wright of the supreme court
of the District found that the defend
ants had been guilty of wilfully dlso-
beying the injunction and sentenced
them to Imprisonment in the district
Jail. In announcing the decision, Jus
tice Wright declared that the defend
ants had 'intimidated, browbeaten
and coerced," the patrons of the steve
and range company until it had SUIT
tered severe losses.
Will Appeal the Case.
Pending an appeal the three defend.
ants were allowed to give bail for
their temperance. AS forecasted by
Mr.. Gompers in a recent issue Of the
Federationist, an attempt will be
made to appeal the case to the United
States supreme court. The right Of
appeal, however, is a matter OF con
troversy.
Chief Justice Dissents.
Chief Justice Sheppard in his dis
senting opinion held to the view that
the decree should be reversed because
he was convinced that the lower
court was without authority to make
the only order which the defendants,
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison could
be said to have disobeyed. The chief
Justice says:

Mitchell was involved in the trouble
by reason of his membership on the
executive board. Of the federation and
because it was alleged he had made
no effort to prevent the adoption Of
resolution at the conference of the
United Mine Workers of America in
antagonism to the Bucks Stove and
Range company. The result of the
boycott, it was said, was to cause a
decline in the business of the stove
and range company Of so per cent.
Grew Out of Union Fight.
The boycott placed by the fedora
ton against the products of the Bucks
Stove and Range company grew out
Of a fight made by the Metal Polish
ers' union and supported by the fed
Grafton for an instead Of 9-hour
day. This was resisted by the com
pany, and the Federationist published

Elected on His Record.
New York, Nov. 3.-Gaynor was
elected on his record as a jurist and
his stand for personal liberty and a
liberal Sunday. Although the Tam
many candidate he maintained his in
dependence. Gaynor was prominently
mentioned as a democratic vice pres
idential possibility last year and in
1894 declined the nomination for gov
ernor. He has said he wanted to be
mayor and then governor, with view
Of some day becoming president OF the
United States.
GaynOr was bitterly assailed by pull
pit and bar. Hearst repudiated him
after having agreed to support him.
His enemies sought to show that as a
Judge he tried to defeat anti-betting
legislation, but the candidate declined
to answer at length what he branded
as lies.
In his speech of acceptance, Gaynor
said:
4 will not take the nomination to
which is annexed any pledge, promise,
or condition whatsoever, other than to
be mayor in fact"
Primary Election Gains.
At least 45 Of the $50 assembIynen
elected yesterday from both parties
pledged to support the direct primary
plan as advocated by Governor
Hughes in some form or otneT. IN
last years legislature only % assem-
blymen Of both parties voted for the
measure. The result yesterday is
largely a victory for the governors
policies.
Gaynor Roasts Newspapers.
In a statement last night to one Of
the newspapers which supported him,
Mr. GaynOr said concerning the other
newspapers:
"They garbIed, faIsifed, even forged
most Of what I said. I had to make
speeches day and night to get hear
ing. I hope such an outrage never
will be seen in this city again. I
have gone through much in my life,
hut never anything equal to this IN
fairness and meanness of the New
York newspapers. They defrauded
their own readers. Their wonderful
influence now is apparent to all"
Hearst Well Pleased.

Washington, D. c., Nov. S.-The dis
trict court of appeals yesterday af-
firmed the decree of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia adjndging
President Samuel Gompers, Secretary
Frank Morrison and Vice. President
John Mitchell of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor guilty Of contempt oil
court in the Buck Stove and Range
case.
Chief Justice Sheppard dissented
from the opinion of the court On CON
stitutional grounds.
Court Must Be Impartial.
The court held that the fundamen-
tional agencies of government should
be obeyed or defed The mere fact
that the defendants were the officers
of organized labor in America said the
court, lent Importance to the cause,
and added to the gravity of the situa-
ton. but it should not be permitted
to influence the result
IF an organization Of citizens, how
ever large" the court held may dis
obey the mandates of the court, the
same reasoning would render them
subject to the law, and neither is
above it, If a citizen, though he may
honestly believe that his rights have
been invaded, may elect when and to
what extent he will obey the man
dates of the court and the require
ments of the laws as interpreted by
the court, instead of pursuing the or
derby course of appeal, not only the
courts but government itself would
become powerless and society would
be reduced to state of anarchy"
Under Jail Sentences.
The action OF the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia in sentencing
Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, to twelve. nine and
six months imprisonment in Jail, re-
spectively, was the result of the fail
ure of these three defendants to obey
the order of the court directing them
to desist from placing the Bucks
stove anu Range company, VI SI'
Louis, Mo- on their unfair list in
the prosecution of their boycott
against the corporation.
While the name of the corporation
was removed from the unfair list OF
the federation Messrs. Gombers and
Mitchell continued to keep alive the
boycott by frequent references to the
Stove and Range company of st. Louis
corporation in the Federationist, the
official organ of the federation. Mr..
