LOWER TRIBUNAL In ERROR
6Hpreme Court of the United States
Holds That Federation Leaders Com
mitted No Criminal Offense by Their
Range Company Case and Are Sub
ject to Fines Only.

Washington, May 16.-Setting aside
the sentences of Imprisonment i'm
posed by the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia for alleged disobedi
ence to a boycott injunction, the su-
preme court of the United States held
that Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, president, vice
president and secretary, respectively,
of the American Federation of Labor,
had been enormously sentenced to
Jail on a charge of contempt of a local
court.
The court unanimously held that
the only sentences that could be i'm
posed upon the labor leaders were
fines. In so holding the supreme court
of the United States found that the
court of appeals of the District of Co
lumbia and the supreme court of the
District erred in treating the con-
tempt proceedings as criminal case
and not civil one. The effect of hold
ing the proceedings a civil one was to
make Jail sentences impossible. Hence
the jail sentences had to be set aside.
To correct the error the case was
sent back to the local courts with di-
rection that it be dismissed AT the
same time the court expressly made
ii possible for civil proceedings to be
instituted against the labor men by
the Bucks Stove and Range company,
at whose instance the original con-
tempt case was brought
Why 1t Is Civil Case.
The court was led to hold that the
contempt proceedings in this case
must be civil in nature because Grim
inal punishment is exercised by courts
to force persons to do acts command.
ed In the present case the court took
the view that the labor men were be.
ing sent to Jail, not to make them do
something the court ordered, but be
cause of something they had done.
Inasmuch as all the differences be
tween the labor men and the Bucks
Stove and Range company have been
adjusted, including the boycott" case
out of which the contempt proceed
ings arose, the supreme courts deci
sion Is probably the last to 5s heard
OF this famous action.
The charges of contempt against
President Gompers, Vice President
Mitchell and Secretary Mcrrison arose
