GOMPERS SCORES COURT.
Says Justice Is Mentally Incompe-
tent to Give Fair Trial

ATLANTA, Ga, November 23.-"Inso-
far as the people of this organization are
concerned, Justice Wright is mentally i'm
competent to give fair and impartial
trial of the contempt proceedings against
u.s.
President Samuel Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. in convention
here, made this declaration today when
announcement was made on the conven-
ton floor that Justice Wright had today
handed down decision overruling the
motion of Mr.. Gompefs. John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison for a dismissal of
the contempt proceedings arising out of
the Bucks Stove and Range case under
the statute of limitations.
News OF the courts decision reached
the convention while the committee on
laws and adjustment was making a re-
port on the charges against the labor
leaders in which discomfort was voiced
at their ''unwarranted persecution
Vice President John Mitchell declared
he was sick of the whole matter and
that he was anxious to have ii ended.
IF We must go to JAIL, said Mr..
Mitchell, Il want to have 1t over with.
Under the present situation, l am afraid
to accept a position for fear it will be
abruptly terminated by an order of the
court. Under the present circumstances
the only job i can take is digging coal,
and l am not anxious for that"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-11-23

Frank Morrison being in attendance on
the convention of the r. of l.. at Atlanta
Ga. were unable to be in court to hear
the reading of the decision. Their local
counsel. Ralston, Siddons & Richardson,
were in court to represent them. Judge
Alton B. Parker is detained in New York
and could not be present at the render
ing Of the decision. Attorney J. J.
Darlington was the only member Of the
committee of prosecutors in court.
Counsel for the labor men were disin-
clined to commit themselves as to what
action would now be taken by them. 1t
Is believed probable, however, that they
viii apply to the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbit for a. special appeal
from the decision of Justice Wright over
ruling their motion to dismiss the COLI
tempt proceedings.
AS the action of the court today is not
final decree from which an appeal lies
as matter of law and the only way Com.
pers and his associates may secure re-
view by the appellate court on this ques-
ton now is to file petition in the Court
of Appeals asking that tribunal to take
special Jurisdiction of the case and deter
mine whether Justice Wright's ruling to-
day properly states the law.
Should the special appeal be allowed the
hearing of the case in the upper court
would not likely occur before next Janu-

Total Cost, $247 900.

The new home of the club will represent
a total cost Of s247OOO, as $4,000 alone
was paid for the site, which occupies
eighty-four feet on 18th street and thirty
two feet on / street. The committee
raised 100000 by subscriptions and is
sued bonds to the exent of s1jOOCO 1t is
understood that large block OF the
stock is held by the contracting firm.
Since Col Parker assumed the chair
manship of the committee, last May, the
work of making the necessary financial
arrangements has progressed rapidly. 1t
was not generally known. however, that
the plans had been so nearly completed
and that building operations would begin
this winter. Col. Parker's announcement
today will prove big surprise to the
members OF the club generally.
1t is said that the new building will be
five stories high, but the plans have been
so drawn that four additional stories can
be added later. If it should be determined
to increase the size.

Declared Not a Crime.

The court in its decision enters into an
exhaustive treatise the question
whether section 725 makes the willful vio-
lation of an Injunction "A ''crirne" to be
dealt with only by the public prosecutor
through the machinery of the criminal
courts under the time limitation which
the statute of limitations fixes for the
prosecution of crimes. and comes to a
conclusion i'm the negative. He points
out that nowhere In the recent penal code
IL found any reference, direct or Indirect
to section TO nor are the contemptS OF
court recognized by that section CLASSIFIED
as crimes, despite the fact that the sec
ton then was and now remains on the
statute books. If contempt was crime
the court says ii would be triable by jury,
and since the United States supreme
Court in the Debs Shipp and other cases
has held that the hearing of contempt
cases without jury was not a violation
of the right of trial by jury guaranteed
by the Constitution. 1t follows that con-
tempt cannot be a crime.
Were contempt of court a crime. the
justice said, "the accused would be en-
titled both to be informed of the nature
and cause of the accusation, and to be
confronted with witnesses against him
The Supreme Court OF the United States,
having decided in very conclusive and
positive manner that neither formal ac-
cusation nor the hearing of evidence OF
witnesses is. in the abstract, necessary
to the punishment Of contempts. eStab-
fishes, by analogy, that conternpts are not
crimes.
The court is quite thoroughly aware,
he continued. that there is to be fouhd
in the books no dearth of loose ana
general expressions TO the effect that pro-
ceedings for the punishment OF contempt
are quasi criminal. criminal in their
nature penal and the like; but no
where has a court even inadvertently
said that contempt of the authority OF
federal court was specific crime.
These loose and general expressions
are accurate only when given the limited
significance so conctsely and far-sighted-
ly expressed bv Mr. Justice Brewer, in
Bessefte agt Conkiey, 1914 T.. s., So thus:
a contempt proceeding is sui generls.
II Is criminal in it's nature, In that the
party is charged with doing something
forbidden and, If found guilty, Is pun
ished Vet it may be resorted to in civil
as well as criminal actions, and also III

Court Still Has Power.

The court then discussed the proposition
as to the result had Congress distinctly
and definitely made contempt of court a
crime against the United States. would
the fact" Justice Wright said. that a
certain act or certain conduct had been
made criminal deprive the court of the
right to deal with that act or that con-
duct as contempt and rebuke 1t by pun
ishment for contempt, if IL amounted to
contempt?
The answer must be so plainly In the
negative that the supreme court of ONO,
In the Johnson case, announced 1t as q
foregone conclusion without making any
argument about il. the court declared
From all the judicial authority and the
analogies quoted in his opinion. Justice
Wright announced the conclusion of the
court To be that contempts are not crimes
and that the statute OF limitations does
NOT apply TO prosecutions for contempt of
court, such.
At the conclusion of the reading OF
the opinion Attorney j. III. Ralston, for
the respondents, addressing the court,
aid
.If your honors please, We have, oil
course, had no opportunity Of giving
careful attention to the opinion just rem
dered by your honor. That we design
to do. IL is fair to say-perhapS 1t Will
be sufficiently well understood without
saying-that we can not conceive that
while riot and treason and other OF the
very grayest offenses can be either for
given or are precriptable, there yet re-
mains one offense which is neither for
givable nor prescriptable. 1t seems to us
a moral irnpossibility.
