STANDARD TO OBEY DECREE.
says il Will be Some Time Before
Scheme il Published.

New York, May 16.-The first word
''om the standard oil company on
the decision Of the supreme court
against it yesterday came today. 1t
makes two points clear:
First-That there will be no con-
tumacy by the company-it proposes
10 obey the decree.
Second-That it will he some time
before any plans Of REORGANIZATION are
given out.
The company insisted throughout
that no plans had been formulated in
advance Of the decree and statement
made today by Mortimer f. Elliott
general solicitor Of the company
takes the same attitude.
Having only before us the press
reports Of Chief Justice Whites oral
opinion and the remarks Of Justice
Harlan, and not having yet seen the
opinion of the court in full, it is i'm
possible to make any lengthy state
ment." reods the statement. The
full opinion must be read and studied
by my associates and by myself be-
before it can be intelligently dealt
with.
1T may, however be said that the
Standard Oil company will obey the
decree of the court and that all Of
the companies embraced in the courts
decree will carry on their business as
usual under the direction Of their own
officers and through their own cor
porate organization"
William Rockefeller, one of the
vice presidents Of the standard Oil
company, said:
''At this time l can not say a thing
about the decision. All we can do Is
to hope the decision is for the best"
meeting Of the directors and the
officers Of the company was held at
its office today, attended by John G..
Milburn, special counsel, but no state
ment further than that made by
William Rockefeller was Forthcoming.

LABOR LEADERS WIN.
Supreme Court Reverscs Sentence OF
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison.

Washington, d. c., May 15.-Sam-
uel Compers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, president, vice pres
ident and secretary of the American
Federation Of Labor respectively
stepped from without the shadow Of
the jail when the supreme court of
the United States set aside their SEN
tence Of Imprisonment for contempt
growing out Of the litigation between
the Bucks Stove and Range Com
pany and the federation. The high
est tribunal in the land has left with
the lower court, however, the right to
reopen the contempt proceedings
This grant of power probably will
not be accepted and the case prac-
tically ended with today's decision.
The basis of the courts decision
was that the proceeding brought
against the labor officers was for civil
contemept, which could be punished
only by the imposition of fine. The
sentence Of the lower court to i'm
prisonment was the penalty for GRIM
inal contempt and in the premises it
was, therefore, not a legal punish
ment.

COMPARES 1T To STANDARD OIL.
Gov. Blease Talks Further on Cotton
Mill Merger.

Columbia, May 16.-Gov. Blease,
in an interview given out this after
noon. compares the cotton mill mer-
ger, which he attacked Saturday in
an interview. to the Standard Oil case
just decided by the United States Su-
preme Court, when he says: 1T is
safer for the authorities to take
charge of the matter now than to wait
until. like the Standard Oil case, the
people of the United States have to
appeal to their Supreme Court to re-
lieve them from their burdens which
will be brought upon them, not only
in South Carolina. but in the entire
South. by this merger"
Governor Blease also calls attention
to the fact that a resolution directing
the Attorney General to inquire into
the mill merger was introduced into
the General Assembly at the last ses-
sion. This resolution is still on the
Senate Calendar, not having been
passed.
The interview given out today by
the Governor is as follows:
II am receiving many letters and
personal congratulations approving
my course in calling attention to the
dangers of the mill merger. If the
mills are in such a deplorable condi-
tion financially. it is strange to me
that the stock is held above par, and
then you can hardly buy it; further,
every six months the mill people are
delighted TO publish what high divi-
dends they are paying. This seems
to me to be prosperity, and no cause
whatever for reducing the wages of
the poor people who are making the
money for them. or for closing down
two or three days Of the week and de-
priving them of work. which, some
times. causes suffering.
"Demagogues and politicians may
not be able to move wheels in factor
les, but l have an idea that If some
OF them were to make an appeal they
might be able to cause a good many
of the wheels to stop. particularly
when they convince those who are
turning the wheels that they, at the
cost Of their chldren's health and
lives. are making some other people
rich.
Mr., Smyth. in his interview On
the merger. used the word sequence
When some people see the injury that
this mill merger will do, then pos
sibly they will see what a sequence
is.
II think, if the records are exam
ined they will show that a resolu-
tion was introduced at the last Leg
islature to look into this mill merger.
but was not acted upon.
1T is safer for the authorities t.
take charge Of the matter now than
it will he to wait until. like in the
Standard case. the people Of the Uni
ted states nave TO appeal to their
Supreme Court to relieve them from
the burdens which will be brought
upon them. not only in South Caro-
lima, hut i'm the entire South, by this
merger
1T is not a personal matter, but
one In which all people who are not
controlled or owned by the mills
should hc interested. and the farmers
and lahoring people i'm particular. The
newspapers as usual, may try to-
cloud the issue by lying on mo. or
repeating tn" lies Of others, but TIA.
