court. st.,
The United States Supreme court,
in setting aside the sentences Of i'm
prisonment. held that the case on
which the lower court had acted con-
stItuted a civil contempt against the
Bucks Stove and Range company, and
that the offense was punishable only
by fine to be recovered by the
wronged corporation.
Justice Lamar in handing down the
opinion, called attention to the fact,
however, that If the lower court felt
aggrieved 1t could have brought Grim
inal contempt proceedings in the
premises and have inflicted jail SEN
tence.
The lower court has been quick to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded to reopen the case. AS the
labor dispute which brought the case
into court had ended II was presumed
the matter would be allowed to drop.
Justice Wright of the district SUI
preme court, who imposed the SEN
tence on Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison, in institutng the pro-
ceedings anew appointed Joseph J..
Darlington, Daniel Davenport and
James NJ Beck, counsel for the Bucks
Stove and Range company, as COM
mittee to inquire forthwith into the
question of whether the labor leaders
had violated the courts order.
