does any law compel you to buy any

From another address by Mr..
Gompers in Chicago in May 1908,
was taken language alleged to have
been in violation of the injunction.
In addition to the urgent APP

contempt by presiding over the Unit

1t adopted a resolution to fine any
member who bought a Buck stove.
In addition to the urgent appeal
charge against Mr.. Morrison, he was
also accused of having mailed out
the magazines objected to.
Distinguished counsel appeared on
both sides when the case was argued
before the supreme court. Prominent
among these were Judge Alton B.
Parker, former presidential candi-
date, who had been retained to de-
fend the labor leaders. His princi-
pal argument was that the injunc-
ton was an improper Interference
with the constitutional right of free
speech and a free press. He further
%eontended that the injunction decree
was void. at least in parts, and that
the statutes for violating a void de-
cree.
Daniel Davenport, attorney for the
American Anti-Boycott association,
under whose auspices the cases were
conducted, said:
Although Ii set aside the the jail

court in its decision settled every

plate workers on a ten-nour instead
OF a nine-hour basis.
Justice Gould of the district SUI
preme court issued the injunction
prayed for by the company. An ap-
peal was taken to the court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia, but
before that court could pass on the
validity of the INDUCTION, the Buck
Stove and Range company again
came into the district supreme court
this time with charges of contempt
against President Gompers. Vice
President Mitchell and Secretary
Morrison. These men were accused
of having violated the injunction de-
cree.
Justice Wright found them guilty
and sentenced President Gompers to
one veal in jail, Vice President Mitch
ell to nine months, and Secretary
Morrison to six months. An appeal
was taken from this sentence, first to
the court of appeals, which affirmed
1t, and finally to the supreme court
of the United States.
The alleged violations consisted
OF the boycott. 1t was charged that
Mr.. Gompers had rushed out the

so as to evade the decree, which
went into effect the day after most of
the magazines were out OF his hands.
This magazine contained the name of
the company on the "We-Don't-Pat-
ronize," or Unfair" list. Ii was al
legged also that a number of copies
of this magazine were sent out after
the decree became effective. In de-
Tense, testimony was presented to
show that only thirty odd copies were
mailed TO libraries and other similar
institutions. The complaint claimed
that about 100 were sent out.
1t was further charged that in the
succeeding number of the Fedora
Zionist. Gompers, Mitchell and Morri-
son joined in al appeal to organized
labor for funds to carry the i%njunc-
ton ease to the higher court. 1t was
~eontended that this appeal was used
as a vehicle to continue the boycott.
The charges stated that the appeal

forth the attitude of those making

npC1sION OF LOWER TRIBUNAL
IN FAMOUS BOYCOTT CASE is
SET ASIDE BY UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT.

sampel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, president, vice
president and secretary of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, respective
". stepped from within the shadow
of the Jail Monday when the supreme
court of the United States set aside
their sentences of Imprisonment for
contempt growing out of the litiga-
tlon between the Buck Stove & Range
ompany of st. Louis and the fedora
ton.
The highest tribunal 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 ease practically
Is ended.
The basis of the courts opinion
was that the proceedings brought
against the labor officers was for
civil contempt. which could be
punished only by the imposition of a
fine. The sentence of the lower
court to Imprisonment was the pen
atty for criminal contempt and in the
premises, therefore. 1t was not a
legal punishment.
The court was led TO hold that the
contempt proceedings in this ease
must be civil In nature because
criminal punishment is exercised by
courts to force persons to do acts
commanded. In the present case.
the court took the view that the
labor men were being sent to jail.
not to make them do something the
court ordered. but because of some
thing they had done"
Inasmuch as all the differences be-
tween the labor men and the Buck
Stove & Range company have been
adjudicated, including the boycott"
case, out of which the contempt pro-
eeedings arose., the decision is
probably the last 10 be heard of this
famous action.

A PLEA FOR THE POOR AT
MAS.

Do you know of any homes in your
neighborhood where Santa Claus
never comes? Is there sick father,
a father out of work, widowed
mother, an Old and INDECENT person?
Charity, it has been said, begins at
home, but it shouldn't stay there. 1t
should go out into the highways and
hyways. Especially is this true of
Christmas charity. which should be
the highest kind of Christian charity
Your children will have toys and
sweetmeats in abundance, Perhaps
they will have more than is good for
them. It will make you happy to look
iato their joyous faces on Christmas
morning when they inspect the treas
ures left for them by Santa Claus.
But there is a sort of happiness even
more to be desired than this. 1t Is
that which comes from remembering
tic poor at Christmas.
Think of the little ones and the
sick and aged, who will have no Santa
Claus this year unless you become
their Santa Claus. very little gift
to one who otherwise would receive
none looms large in the eyes OF the
recipient Surely you can make
somebody outside your own family
and circle happy this Christmas.
One of the wisest of the old say
ings is this:
ct is better to give than to re-
ceive"
This nroverb embodies and exem-
Flifles the Christmas spirit, which is
the Christian spirit reduced to the
concrete.
Remember the poor this Christmas.

same article in his store for $500

the first she had heard OF it: why

purchased away from home simply
because the buyers do not know that
they can be purchased at home and
