with those passed on the two labor leaders
December o3. 1903, on the first annver-
sary of the signing Of the decree which
they have been adjudged guilty of violat-

Appeal Is Noted.
| Counsel for the labor chiefs noted an

and arranged bonds for their clients at

proceedings in the higher tribunal. The
case may go again to the Supreme Court
of the United States, which May Is. 1911,
reversed the previous sentence Of the
| local court for contempt on the ground
| of mistake In the choice of a method
| of procedure. The labor men claim the
present prosecution is improperly entitled
| in equity and argue that contempt pro-
ceedings are criminal and the subject OF
criminal procedure.
Chief Justice Clabaugh did not sit in
the case, owing to illness. The other
justices of the court concurred in the
decision Of Justice Wrighht, and all of
them. excepting Justice Barnard, who is
on vacation, were present on the bench
when the decision was read and sentence
pronounced today.

Mr.. Gompers stated that telegra phic no
tice had been sent to John Mitchell, but
no response had been received and he was
unable to say whether his associate had
