canoe when compared with the higher
principles involved in this cause The
fundamental issue is whether the con-
stitutional agencies Of government
shall be obeyed or dened. The mere
fact that the defendants are officers
of organized labor in America lends
Importance to the cause, and adds to
the gravity of the situation, but 1t
should not be permitted to influence
the result. If an organization of citi-
Gems. however large, may disobey the
mandates Of the court, the same rea.
soning would render them subject to
individual defiance. The ono has not
greater right in the eyes of the law
than the other. Both are subject to
the law, and neither are above it."
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 failure of
these three defendants to obey the
order Of the court directing them to
desist from placing the Bucks Stove
and Range company Of st. Louis, Mo-.
on their unfair list" in the prosecul
ton Of their boycott against the corr
poration.
When the decision was rendered
neither the labor leaders nor their
counsel we're in the court. AS fore
casted by Mr.. Gompers in 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 controversy. Some attorneys hold
that as this decision finds the contempt
to have been Il criminal offense, the
court of appeals would have the last
say in the matter as it has of all
criminal cases in the district. Others,
however. contend that as the constitu-
tional right of free speech and Liberty
Of the press is involved the labor lead
ers may prosecute an appeal.

the gloomy work of setting its house
in order for four years of avowed an

Analysis shows that the election,
which resulted in the defeat by the

lined up with the Republicans under
the fusion banner, than for the
straight-out Republicans.

Stockholm that the increase Of popu.

greater than during any Of the last ten
years, amounting to. 81. 1877. or 1855 per
thousand. The increase has been, as
usual, greater in large cities than in
provinces. The growth of population
in small industrial centers, however,
during the year 1908, was not SO great
as formerly, owing to the crisis of
1908, which handicapped manufactur.
ing and commercial interests.
