Uo Jail For Labor Leaders.

Samuel Gompers. president: John
Mitchell. vice president. and Frank
Morrison, secretary. of the American
Federation OF Labor, will not so TO
Jail.
This was the decision of the su.
preme court Of the United States in
the labor contempt cases in which the
three labor leaders were sentenced TO
prison.
The case grew out of the boycott OF
the Bucks Stove and Range company.
OF ST. Louis. and the proceedings
brought by that company against the
three labor leaders for speeches and
articles published In the American
Federationist.
Setting aside the sentences OF i'm.
prisonment imposed by the supreme
court OF the District of Columbia. the
supreme court of the United States
held that Gompers. Mitchell and Nor
rison had been enormously sentenced.
By the finding of the lower court
Gompers had been sentenced to one
year in Jail. Mitchell to nine months
and Morrison to six months.
