Justice Wright is proceeding on the
instructions Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States in the decision
yesterday which set aside the Jail SEN

did so without prejudice. According to
the view Of Justice Wright, the Su-
preme Court left open the possibility
of Wright. himself. ordering contempt
proceedings against the three men for
failing to obey an injunction issued by
him.
II was held that the court dismissed
the jail sentences. on the ground that
the action was brought by the Bucks
Stove & Range Company and that in
such event, only a fine could be as
sessed. The inference was left that II
the court itself had taken the Initiative
