Mast Again Stand Trial IN

JUSTICE WRIGHT RULED.
CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS NOT
CRIMINAL THEREFORE, THE

TIoNs DOES NOT HOLD
AGAINST THEM.

Washington, Nov. 2s.Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and Fred Morri-
son. labor leaders. again must stand
trial In the supreme court Of District
OF Columbus, on charges Of contempt
arising out of the Bucks Stove &
Range case.
Justice Wright today handed down
a decision over ruling the motion Of
the labor leaders for a dismissal OF
the proceedings under the statute Of
limitations. The court held that con-
tempt OF court is not classed as Grim
inal and consequently is not subject
to the bar or the statute of limitation.
The supreme court of the United
States recently dismissed the original
cases against Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison, but gave the lower court the
right to renew the proceedings. AT
this time the controversy between the
stove company and the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor had been settled.
Notwithstanding this Justice Wright
took the ground that the dignity Of
district supreme courts orders had
been violated and again cited the labor
leaders to appear and defend them
selves.
Says Wright Is Incompetent.
