Must Purge Themselves Of Con-
tempt on July II Next
Or Take Consequences. Gompers
Says He Expected II.

Washington, June 26.-Justice Dan
iel T Wright of the district supreme
court today issued a rule against Sam
uel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
John Mitchell, the labor leaders, re-
quiring them to show cause on July
II why they should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt of court. This ac-
ton followed the filing of the report of
the special committee Of attorneys APP
pointed by Justice Wright to inquire
into the matter of contempt proceed
ngs in the Bucks Stove and Range
boycott case.
Mr.. Gompers is president, Mr.. Nor
risOn secretary and Mr.. Mitchell vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor The contempt proceedings
against the labor leaders recently were
passed upon by the United States SUI
preme court which set aside Jail SEN
tenees here to-fore imposed by JUS
tice Wright. The supreme court held
that the contempt which Justice
Wright formerly passed upon was of
civil nature and against the Bucks
Stove & Range Co. In dismissing the
former proceedings. however. the SUI
right to reopen the case in the
event that any contempt of the court
itself or its orders should be found
inasmuch as the stove company and
the American Federation of Labor had
adjusted their differences it was sup
posed that the matter would be pur-
sued no further. But the day follow
ing the decision, Justice Wright APP
pointed committee of three lawyers
to inquire into all the circumstances
of the case and to determine whether
or not there had been a contempt of
the court itself.
This committee consisted of j. J.
Darlington. Neal Davenport and James
Beck. Samuel Gompers in a state
ment at once questioned the fairness
of an inquiry by these gentlemen, in
asmuch as they all had been associat-
ed as counsel for the stove company
against the Federation.

labor leaders to answer the CONTEMPT
rule, there will be no hearing until fall
