LABOR LEADERS
SCORE WRIGHT
Bv The united Press.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2S-News Of
Justice Wright's decision adverse TO
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison was
received with anger by the delegates
to the American Federation Of Labor
Convention who broke into groups 10
discuss Il.
Before hearing of the decision
committee had criticized Wright in
the following terms:
In the opinion OF this committee
the whole proceeding has more of the
characteristics of persecution than
trial and IL is very difficult indeed to
understand the conduct Of Judge
Wright except under the theory that
he is lacking in the temper and quail
ifications that should and do usually
constitute the judge and we cannot
help but express our deep regret that
a man so lacking in judicial temper
ament should ever have been elevated
TO the bench"

There is nothing l can see in this
resolution that is legal or binding in
any way. its object is forcing upon
the people a cement pavement for no

the inconsistency and unconstitution-
ality of it so fragrant that I as a
layman, did not think It serious
enough to employ counsel to argue
its merits as a law binding upon the
people and to have any standing be-
fore court of justice
Il therefore ask that your Honor
give an opinion on this particular
resolution which to my mind is inn
practicable, illegal. unfair, incon-
sistent and unconstitutional and
should be declared null and void"
Judge Cochran said the ordinance
was out of the ordinary and he then
passed his respects on cement pave
ments, saying that in his opinion they
were handy things to break ones
neck on He also said that he had
a brick pavement in front of his home
and he considered "A well laid one bet

Mr. Lynn said that under the ordi-

officer Of such would have TO sue for
the fine.

said the ordinance was special and

it would stand. Solicitor Lynn,
