JUSTICE WR|CHT'S ACT
CRITICISED BY GOMPERS
Latter Questions ImpartiaIity
of Committee Appointed to
Consider Contempt Case.
~

President Gompers Of the American
Federation of Labor in the June issue
of The Federationist editorially refers to
Justice Daniel Thew Wright of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. The article is
headed NO Jail for Gompers. Mitchell
and Morrison-Yet." and quotes literally
from Judge Wright's call for a commits
sion to consider the question of the grav-
ity of the offense of the three labor men,
Justice Wright's Appointments.
Mr.. Gompeps closes his statement as
follows:
How interesting is Justice wright's
appointment of the committee to inquire
whether there is reasonable cause to be-
ileve the said persons tthe defendants)
guilty. How much difficulty the commit
tee. composed of j. j. Darlington and
Daniel Davenport. the original prose-
cutors in the injunction and contempt
proceedings before Justice Wright. and
James Beck the counsel for the Kirby
National Association of Manufacturers.
Will have TO persuade themselves that
there is reasonable cause to believe that
Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison are
guilty of violation of the terms of the
injunction and guilty of contempt of
court upon the original injunction and
contempt order which they drafted.
Recently there has been considerable
discussion of the initiative. the referen-
dunn. and particularly the recall, and
some official objection has been inter-
posed to the recall of judges. 1t may be
true that a right and a privilege may
upon occasion be abused, but how many
are there among the people Of our coun-
try. and particularly of the District of
Columbia, had they the power. who would
not join in an effort to recall from the
bench = judge who has so far departed
from the judicial temperament and per-
mitted prejudice and vindictiveness to
take the place where impartial Justice
should prevail?

The detective force Of Passy is at pres

A well dressed man walking down the
Rue de Passy stepped aside sharply to
allow a woman to pass. and in doing SO
broke the plate glass window of q wine
shop with his elbow. The keeper of the
wine shop was outside in an instant, and
asked the man to give him compensation
there and then. The man discussed the
matter, and then said that he could not
pay at once. but would pay In INSTALL
ments.
BY this time q crowd had gathered, and
onlookers took sides. One of them shout
ed to the wine shop keeper: "Why not
search him to make sure If he cannot pay
at once?' The man was thereupon drag
ged into the shop. his pocket case was
seized and the wine shop keeper glee-
fully held up q 5O0-franc note The shop
keeper quickly hunted about for change.
and handed the man $50 francs, saving:

the plate glass. and you can think your
self lucky at that
The man went away, complaining all the
while and Kissed by some of the crowd.
few minutes later the wine shop keeper
took the note to the bank. To his amaze
