Chief Justice Dissents.
Chief Justice Sheppard in his dis

the decree should be reversed, because
he was convinced that the lower
court was without authority to make
the only order which the defendants,
Gomperg, Mitchell and Morrison could
be said to have disobeyed. The chief
Justice says:

proceeding must be regarded as Grim

Cleveland, Nov. 3.-Tom l.. John

Baehr's plurality lis upwards of 1000
With Johnson probably went the
bulk of the democratic ticket, the
councilmen who supported his street
railway program suffering the most.
The districts traversed by the Scent
fare lines instituted by Johnson went
against him. johnson, in conceding
his defeat, announced that he will be
a candidate for mayor two years
hence.
The election eof Baehr is believed to
mean the certain settlement of the
long street railway war, begun eight
years ago when Johnson demanded a
Scent rate fare. Baehr pledged him
self to settlement on the basis or
six per cent return on the stock OF
the Cleveland railway company, all
earnings over that to go to the reduc-
ton sof fares and the improvement OF
the service. The company had ac-
cepteH these terms and Johnson ten

alton of Labor 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.
Court Must Be Impartial.
The court held that the fundamen-
tai issue was whether the constitu-
tional agencies of government should
be obeyed or defied. 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.
eff an organization of citizens, now
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 nave
been invaded, may elect when and te
what extent he will obey the man
! dates of the court and the require
