COURT OF APPEALS DECIDES
AGAINST FEDERATION LEAD.

SLIGHT MODIFICATION is
MADE IN DECREE.
Suit Is One in Which Federation of
Labor Was Enjoined From Publish

tronize" List-Modification Permits
Mention Of Firm.

Washington, March 1.-THE court of
appeals of the District of Columbia to-
day modified and affirmed the opini on
of Justice Gould, of the supreme court
Federation Of Labor, Samuel Gompers,
and other defendants from publishing
in the I'VE Don't Patronize" list the
name of the Buck Stove and Range
Company.
The opinion holds that the decree Of
Judge Gould should be modified to the
extent that there should be eliminated
from the decree the restriction of Ia
Dor organizations and other defendants
from mentioning, writing or referring"
to the business of the Buck company
or it's customers. Otherwise the de-
cree is affirmed. The court holds that
the combination" and boycott in fur
therance thereof and the publication IN
the I'VE Don't Patronize" list i'll aid
of the boycott is illegal.
Does Not Affect Contempt Case.
The court held defendants could not
be restrained from all publications re-
leFIlHS 10 the BUCK company, Dut oiliy
to such as are made in furtherance of
the Illegal boycott. In a partial dis
senting opinion Chief Justice Shepard
took strong hand in upholding ihe
freedom of the press. He says that
even assuming that the publication of
complainants name in the "We Don't
Patronize" column of the F'ederationist
Was a step in the formation of a
conspiracy to coerce independent deal
ers into refusing and have further bus
mess relations with that company, 1
can not agree that the publication can
be restrained for that reason. Regard
less of its character or purpose. the
publication is protected from restraint,
in my opinion, by the first amendment
to the constitution, which forbids any
law abridging the freedom of the
press"
The chief justice held that "the only
remedy for libelous or otherwise
malicious, wrongful and injurious pub
lications is by civil action for dam
ages, and criminal prosecution. There
is no power to restrain the publication"
The decision does not settle the ap-
peal in the contempt proceedings, IN

LAWYER MAKES BREAK
General Washington Makes Blunder in
His Argument in Behalf of coopers
and sharp-Frenzied Appeal for Gil

Nashville Tenn, March 11.-The at
tendance today at the Cooper Sharp
trial showed "a decrease at the opening
when General Washington resumed his
argument for the defense. When Wash
ington came to the editorials of Oct
81, he gravely admitted that Carmack
had u right to write editorials about
public men. But when he stepped over
the bounds and began an attack upon
private citizen, then he exceeded his
rights
Working himself intoa a frenzy of or
atory, Washington devoted nearly an
hour to wild denunciation Of the edi-
torials.
Washington asked the jurors If they
had ever seen bull fight. None inti-
mated he had, so the speaker described
one He compared Colonel Cooper with
BULL and declared Carmacks editor
ials were banderillos which maddened
the bull into d charge. He said Car
mack declared open war when he
wrote the "Zweibund" editorial; that
he wrote it to compel Cooper either
let him alone or to approach him on
the street.
Cooper saw in Craig's eyes" con-
tinued Washington, that there was
danger, that Carn1ack was in an ugly
mood. So he armed himself, and if he
hadn't done so he would be@in his
grave today"
Washington saw his error here-de-
fenses contention being that Cooper
didn't draw his gun until the shooting
was over, SO he added:
IF Robin Cooper had not armed him
SELF they would both be dead today
The speaker devoted nearly half
hour to a burlesaue Imitation of At
torney General Garner's cross-examin-
alton of witnesses, which seemed to
amuse some Of the Jurors more than
others.

titled that Governor Cummins made the
motion to appropriate money for such
