Case Against Him and Others for
Contempt Will Be Continued.


s. Louis, July 22.-samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who took part in
concluding the settlement Of the long
standing war between the federation
and the Bucks Stove and Range com
pany at Cincinnati on Tuesday night
reached ST. Louis yesterday after
noon. Because OF his faith in ulti-
mate victory, fortified by the convic-
lions of a lifetime, he said that he
would not have the case against him
for contempt now pending in the
United States Supreme court with
drawn under any circumstances, but
wishes the highest tribunal Of the
country to pass on the questions in
yolved.
Feature of the Settlement
zone feature of the settlement
which does not seem to have been
published here" Gompers said is
that the representative of the Bucks
company declared that the new man
agement regarded organized labor as
an institution which has come to
stay for al time and which must be
treated in a friendly spirit This
attitude, it was further expressly de-
clared, would govern the feeling and
action of every one connected with
the management in the future"
New York, July 22.-The American
Anti-Boycott association declines to
abandon on its part the litigation be-
tween the American Federation Of
Labor and the Buck Stove and Range
company, settlement of which be-
tween the Federation and the com
pany was recently reached. In a
statement, Walter Gordon Merritt, as
sociate counsel Of the Anti-Boycott
association, declares that this organ
ization Is another party interested in
the litigation, that It has taken up
the suits at the request of the com
pany and has borne the entire ex-
pense with the express understanding
that they would be carried to a final
conclusion and that the company
would cooperate TO that end. Our
counsel still represent the company
and have not been asked to withdraw.
II Is safe to say that the association
will oppose any efforts to interfere
with the final success of these suits.

is tie healthiest big city In the world.
New York his a bigger death rate
than any other great city, except To-
ho. OF the cities of the United
States New Orleans has the largest
death rate. OF the countries OF Eli
rope, Sweden shows the smallest
death rate. with the possible excep,
ton of Norway, while Russia has the
largest.
The best single test of the progress
OF the human race is the prolonga>
ton of human life. At the time OF
the Roman control of Egypt, the av-
erage length of life was % years, and
IT IS only % in India today. In Swe-
den 1t is about 509, while in Russie
1t Is 1851. In Massachusetts the av-
erage duration OF life is 44.5, almost

The duration of human life has in
