the courts, which have grown out of
the dispute between the American
Federation of Labor and any Of its
affiliated organizations on the one
and, and the Bucks Stove and Range
Company on the other. and that the
said company will not bring any pro-
ceedings in the courts against any
individuals or organizations growing
out of any past controversies between
said company and organized labor,
the company and organized labor
were within their lawful rights, and
the minority stakeholder Post can not
successfully maintain his suit.
If this legal advice given US is
founded upon law. and it certainly
seems feasible and logical, both Post
and his attorneys must be appraised
of it. Then. what was Posts real

rich by his imposition on the public's

POST Chief Mischief Maker
By SAMUEL GOMPERS

OnSeptember z the representatives
OF organized labor who on July 10 at
Cincinnati effected an agreement with
the Bucks Stove and Range Company
met at st. Louis for the ad justment
of the long-drawn-out contest between
that company and labor, and with the
company,s representatives applied
themselves to the duty of carrying
HE terms of the agreement into effect.
Before so doing, however, they were
all confronted with the fact that Mr..
CIV. Post, of Battle Greek, Mich,
the manufactures of Grape Nuts and
more of that sort of stuff, had sought
to obtain an Injunction from Federal
Judge Mcpherson to enjoin the rep
resentatives of labor and the COM
pany from entering into an agreement
or from carrying out the agreement
of July 49,. Judge Mcpherson, how
ever, declined to issue the injunction,
giving his reasons therefor, the most
defective being that the persons sought
to be enjoined had not been served
with notice. Other reasons were
assigned, to which we shall at some
other time refer and perhaps publish
| in the American FederatiOnist. In
addition to the injunction petition
came the service Of a summons to the
Circuit of the Eastern !, Division,
Judicial District of Missouri, all of the
officers of international, State city
and local organizations, both individ-
nally and collectively, and the organ
izations as such, Jointly with the
Bucks, Stove and Range Company.
The suit is brought by Post as d
minority stakeholder of the company
under the Sherman Anti Trust Law.
The damages alleged are $25O.000
and under that law threefold damages
claimed. The Bucks Stove and
Range Company and organized labor
are made co-defendants.
Under these circumstances and con-
ditions the representatives of the
company and of labor met and en-
deavored as best they could to reach
an honorable and mutually advan-
tageous agreement to establish in
dustrial peace. and better relations
between organized labor and the COM
pany. b
Here are exposed the true charac-
eristics of the hypocritical, aatulent
Post. During the entire period of
five years, while the company and lab
or were arrayed against each other.
Post was too cowardly to admit, much
less openly declare, that he had an
interest in the company's affairs. He
was too parsimonious7to take part of
the blame for the company's hostile
policy toward labor during that time
and thereby incur the general indig-
