HIGHEST COURT IN LAND STATES
THAT ACCUSED WERE ERRo4
NEoUsLY SENTENCED TO JAIL
SUPREME COURT OF DIS
TRIcT OF COLUMBIA PASSED
THE sENTENcE-HIsToRY OF
THE CASE.

Washington, D. c., May 15.-Setting
aside sentences of Imprisonment inn
posed by the supreme court of the
District Of Columbia for alleged dis
obedience to the boycott injunction,
supreme court of the United States
today held that Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison, presi-
dent, vice president and secretary re-
spectively of the American Federation
Of Labor had been enormously SEN
fenced to jail on charge of contempt
Of the local court.
The courb-Funanirnously held that
the only sentence that could be inn
posed upon the labor leaders were
fines. In so helding the supreme court
of theUnited States found that the
court Of appeals OF the District OF
Columbia and the supreme court of
the District of Columbia erred in
treating contempt proceedings as a
criminal and not civil one. The effect
OF holding the proceedings a civil one
was to make Jail sentence impossible,
hence the jail sentences had to be set
aside.
History of Case.
The charges of contempt against
President Gompers, Vice President
Mitchell and Secretary Morrison arose
out Of bitter labor war between or
ganized labor and the Bucks Stove
and Range Co. Of st. Louis. Mo.
The st. Louis concern had come into
the supreme court OF the District of
Columbia to prevent, by injunction,
the American Feredation of Labor
and its officials from boycotting it's
own products or the business OF those
who death with it. The questions
involved and the parties concerned at
tracted widespread attention. The
company claimed that the federation

HAD LIVELY MEETING.
Commercial Club Thieshes Over Depot
Proposition.
Every live village and city is In the
market for new industries or any i'm
provement that will be OF direct benefit
to the community. In the larger places
the commercial clubs spend thousands
I OF dollars annually TO give the indus
trial advantages of their city publicity.
and TO persuade desirable concerns 10
locate in their midst. This Is in line
with the remarks brought out at the
Commercial club meeting on Tuesday
evening.
George l.. Wooa worth. MS a member
Of the railroad committee, pIecipitated
a lively discussion apropos the ques-
tion OF new depot. Mr.. Woodwork
stated that he had recently talked with
two officials of the Chicago & North
Western Railway Co and was inform
cd that a new depot would probably be
forthcoming, but that the village would
have to see tnat the necessary site could
be secured at reasonable price--that
the company had got tired being bled
for sites and right.of- way as it had
been in the past year or so in getting
into the mines here and elsewhere, and
that ia the future it would be up TO the
party desiring any benefit from the
railroad to do something in return for
the benefits to be received. And no
one can blame the North Western
officials for taking this position, tor
certainly some unheard Of prices have
been asked and given for the privilege
OF getting.iuto some Of the mines here
abouts.
Such being the case the Commercial
club can we'll afford TO spend some
time in threshing out to su scessful
conclusion the proposition of securing
a new union depot for Iron River and
STAN baugh. That such structure is
needed.a visitor at either depot at train
time can amply prove to any disinter-
ested party While it will be benefit
to both towns there is no doubt but
Iron River will receive the greatest
benefit and hence Iron River should
carry to success the plan Of securing
the erection OF the new structure. even
If in so doing it is necessary to assist
in furnishing a site therefor. The
Commercial club in connection with
the village council should nave no
trouble in working out this PROPOSE
ton. IL ought to be well worth the
time and effort required. Another year
ought TO give 20 both towns hand
