Is Opinion Of Circuit Court
Of Appeal day
In LABOR LEADERS CASE
Held That GOmpers, Mitchell, and Morn-
SON Were Guilty Of cOntempts.
Chief Justice Shepard Dissents
from the Opinion.

Washington, d. C., Nov. 2.--The Unit
Ell States court of appeals today affirm
ed the jail sentence 81 Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison for contempt Of court.
The opinion. which aflirms the SEN
tence Of the three men, respectively,
10 one year, nine months and six months
was rendered by Justice Van 0rsdel and
it was concurred in BY Justice Robb.
Chief Justice Shepard dissented. The
three labor leaders were charged with
contempt for violating the injunction in
the Bucks stove case.
Judge 0rsdel said that the fundamen.
tai issue was whether the constitutional
agencies Of the government shall be
obeyed or defled. The fact that the de-
PENDANTS were officers OF organized
labor makes the case more important
and lends gravity to the situation but
cannot influence the result, he said. IL
an organization Of citizens may disobey
the court, the same reasoning would
render them subject to individual de-
fance. Both are subject TO the law and
neither is above it.
