unions and the farmers organizations,
and praises the crusade against tuber-
culosis.
Demand Jury Trial.
'tIt should be borne in mind that in
these proceedings, Mcssrs, Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison did not have
the constitutional right of trial by
Jury. All the circumstances in this
case 60 to prove that conviction would
not have followed If the case had been
submitted on IFS merits TO jury OF
their peers. We hold that excepting
where contempt is in the presence of
the court, the liberty Of no citizen
should be committed to the keeping of
any one man, regardless Of who he may
be or what position he may hold; on
the contrary, we hold that citizen
charged with violating an injunction,
the penalty of which involves impris-
onmcnt, should have the same legal
right TO a trial by jury that is al
ways accorded TO a person charged with
violation of the criminal law. To deny
from the people the protection and
priceless heritagcs which were secured
by them after centuries of pcrSevcr-
ancc. struggle, sacrifice, exile and even
martyrdom.
Vigorous Protest.
whatever difference of opinion may
exist amouC men MS TO any controversy
between labor and capital, no good cit
izcp of our country, who treasures free
dom, can rest secure until tnal by
Jury becomes so well recognized and
SO firmly established in our legal jurls-
prudence that no man will ever again
attempt TO deny this essential and his
torical right
The council also recommended that
organized labor take appropriate ac-
tion looking toward the naming OF
suitable citizens TO fill vacancies that
may occur in the supreme court OF
tho United States and IN the lesser fed
cral courts.
On the subject of oldage pensions,
the council reported n bill providing
for the organization of cold age home
guard' 10 be composed of persons more
than Go years of age, who do not own
property worth more than Sl,5Ou. or

the congress, the persons may make aP-
plcation TO the secretary of war for
"pcnsiou enlistment and shall re-
cciYe from the government Sl2O per
year In quarterly iustallmeuts.
The report recommends that every cf,
fort be made to assist the work OF

continuation of work among unorgan
