Washington, May 15.--Setting
aside the sentences Of imprison.
ment imposed by the supreme
court of the District Of Columbia,
for alleged disobedience to boy
colt injunction, the supreme court
of the United States held that
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, president,
vice president and secretary re-
spectively of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, had been erron-
eously sentenced to Jail on a
charge Of contempt of local
court.
The court unanimously held
that the only sentences that
could be imposed on the labor
leaders were fines. In so holding
the supreme court Of the United
States found that the court of
appeals of the District Of Colum-
bia and the supreme court of the
district erred in treating the con-
tempt proceedings as a criminal
and not a civil one. The effect
Of holding the proceedings a civil
one was to make Jail sentences
impossible. Hence the Jail SEN
fences had to be set aside. To
correct the error the case was
sent back to the local courts with
direction that it be dismissed.
May Enforce Big Fine.
At the same time the court expressly
made IT possible for civil proceedings
to be instituted against the labor men
,y the Buck Stove & Range company
tempt case was brought The court
was led to hold that the contempt
proceedings in this case must be
civil In nature. because criminal
punishment Is exercised by courts to
force persons to do acts commanded
In the present case the court took the
view that the labor men were being
sent to jail, not to make them do
something the court ordered, but be-
cause of something they had DONE"
Inasmuch as all the differences be-
tWccH TIC ldpOT Hlel Anu the BUCK
Stove & Range company have been
adjudicated, including the boycott"
case, out Of which the contempt pro-
ceedings arose, today's decision is
probably the last to be heard Of this
famous action.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you arc
n need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
ation will be treated in strict confidence,
lrd your case will be- diagnosed as care
!ully as though you had personal inter
new.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
al other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
30 start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in q way that soon puts
hese organs in a healthy condition and
,orrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
Gents. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ag biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
uffers with constipation, or any liver
llment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
| had my way / would prohibit the sale
of rine-tenths of the cathartics that are
row being sold for the reason that they
Uon destroy the lining of the stomach,
etting up serious forms of indigestion,
md SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
,rrgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
% the stomach, liver and nerves. They
cvigorate instead of weaken; they en-
hch the blood instead of impoverish
=; they enable the stomach to get all
he nourishment from food that is put
INTO 1t.
TAse pills contain no calomel. no
sopsj they are soothing, healing and
eanulating. They school the bowels
