LABOR LEADERS TO
APPEAR In COURT

WASHINGTON, 23.-In a scathine
decision Justice Wright OF the SUI
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia, refused this morning to dismiss
the contempt charges against Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and FRANK
Morrison, the heads OF the American
Federation of Labor
They are declared in contempt for
placing the Bucks Stove and Range
company upon the unfair list in the
federation journal.
This means that an attempt will be
made to force the labor leaders to
trial upon charge upon which the
United States supreme court last
spring dismissed the defendants, who
were then under sentence by Justice
Wright although the court permitted
a new action to be brought.

league, where he has since shown to ex-
celIent advantage with the Nationals be-
hind the bat. Miss Murray shows every
evidence Of being a live, intelligent Judge
of a ball player and she is one Of the
games most ardent fans.
Although scarcely out OF her teens,
Miss Murray knows more baseball, more
about the inside workings Of team, than
a majority of the wise fans who sit on
the bleachers every day, and she knows
how to size up a player. She is an al
most regular attendant at Riverside Park
