Samuel Gompers Criticises
Boycott Decision.
EXPECTS APPEAL OF CASE
Head CT Federation of Labor Says
That the Thing for Which the Hat
ters Were Assessed $4,000 Dam
ages Is Recognized as Legal in
Great Britain and in Nearly Every
Continental Country of Europe.


Washington, Feb. Tt is repug-
nant to the very purpose of the Sher-
man antitrust law"
Such is the opinion of Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, concerning the YER
diet of $222,000 rendered by the jury
in the federal court at Hartford, Conn,
against the 200 hatmakers of Connec-
ticut for losses alleged to have been
suffered by ID. e. Loewe of Danbury,
Conr., during boycott of this firm.
There is the fact" said Gompers
in statement, "of these labor organ
izations being brought under the Sher-
man antitrust law by the interpreta-
tion of the United States supreme
court, the voluntary organization of
the workers governing their personal
rights. A labor organization is not
organized for profits, nor to deal in
the products of labor. 1t simply un-
dertakes to aid the men in the protec-
tion of their personal rights. The
court has decided that such an organ
ization, organized not for profit but
fer the benefits of their personal
rights and interests, comes under the
Sherman antitrust law.
"It is repugnant to the very pur-
poses of the law. | hope and expect
that an appeal will be taken, but, after
all, the injury involved Is in the de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States, under which the labor
organizations are brought under the
Sherman antitrust law and which will
have to be rectified by an act of con-
gresS.
"The thing for which the Hatters'
union is now mulcted in damages and
for which any labor organization may
be mulcted, is distinctly legal in Ger
many, and so decided by it's highest
judicial courts, and by the trade dis
pute act passed by the British parlia-
ment in 1906, and is also legal in near
ly every European continental coun-
try.
Surely what is legal for the work
ing people under monarchy and EN-.
pires should not be illegal in the re-
public of the United States"

In many quarters the gas and elec.

CITY ENGINEER

FRAUDULENT DEAL FOUND

Forty-fve Thousand Dollars OF Public
Funds Paid for Removal of "ShaIe

Proved to Be Only Hard cIay-sec.
ond indictments Returned Against
Number of Others.
Chicago, Feb. -Four true bills
charging city hall officials with con-
spiracy in connection with the "shale
rock" sewer frauds were returned by
the county grand jury The men in
dicted are: John Ericsson, city en-
gineer; Michael H. McGovern, con-
tractor; Paul Redieske, former deputy
commissioner of public works, and
Ralph A. Bonnell, former assistant
city engineer.
All four, with the exception of
Ericsson, were indicted short time
ago in connection with an alleged at
tempt to defraud the city of about
$250,000 in the building of section
N" of the Lawrence avenue sewer.
The "shale rock" scandal was in re-
gard to the construction of section
d" OF the same sewer. The city paid
the McGovern company more than
$4,000 for the removal of a large
quantity of so called "shale rock"
Upon examination by experts it was
stated that the rock" was nothing
more than hard clay and offered little
obstruction In excavating.
Mr.. McGovern was the contractor
in charge of the construction and was
the man paid for the removal of the
"shale rock" Bonnell certified that
1t was rock. Ericsson approved Bon
nell's decision. Redieske then put his
stamp of approval on the work and
the city paid the money to McGovern.
Second indictments were returned
against McGovern, Bonnell, Redieske
and the eight others who were indict-
ed last week on charges of attempts
to defraud the city out of $250,000 for
work on another part of the Lawrence
| avenue sewer.
