GoMPERs GOES FREE
suPREME COURT HOLDS LABOR
CHIEF NOT IN CONTEMPT.
Highest Tribunal Holds jail Sentences
In Bucks company's Boycott
Suit as Invalid.

Misunderstanding aside the SEN
fences of imprisonment imposed by
the supreme court Of the District Of
Columbia for alleged disobedience to
a boycott injunction, the Supreme
court Of the United States held that
Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison. president, vice-p resi-
dent and secretary. respectively. Of
the American Federation of Labor,
had been enormously sentenced to
jail on charge of contempt Of a
local court.
The justices unanimously held that
fines were the only sentences that
could be imposed on the labor lead
lers.
In SO holding, the Supreme court
OF the United States found that the
court of appeals Of the District of CO.
lumbia and the supreme court of the
district erred in treating the contempt
proceedings as criminal case and
not civil one. The effect of hold
ing the proceedings civil one was to
make jail sentences impossible.
Hence the Jail sentences had to be set
aside.
The charges of contempt against
Messrs. Gompers. Mitchell and Nor
rison arose out Of bitter labor war
between organized labor and the
Bucks Stove & Range company Of st.
Louis.
The concern had come into the gu.
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia to prevent, by injunction. the
American Federation of Labor and its
officials from boycottiag its own prod

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts Of an Eskimo to con.
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of a piece OF
wire of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked
Professor Mcmillan of the Peary north
pole expedition what 1t was and what
it was for. He was told that the
white man strung 1t on poles stuck
in the ground and voice talking
to an instrument at one end could be
heard at the other end. After some
search the next morning the Eskimo
was found to be engaged in telephone
construction work Of his own. He
stuck some sticks in the ground and
hung his wire on them. He held one
end Of the wire to his mouth and
talked to 1t at the top of his voice.
Then he ran as fast as he could to
the other end and held the wire to
his ear with the exceptation of hear
ing his own words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.

Attention has been frequently called
to variety of cabbage known as
Hauser. It was originated near Har-
risburg and seems to be unusually
well adapted to sections of the north,
where the weather is too warm for
the wellknown Danish ballhead. 1t
requires longer season than Danish
ballhead. For all sections of Pennsyl-
vanfa and other regions having the
same climatic conditions seed should
be sown as soon as the ground can be
prepared. When planted in the field
the soil should be made richer than
for other varieties of late cabbage.
This is an excellent variety for the
more southern parts of regions in the
north, where late cabbage is grown
commercially.
