significance as compared with the case
of Gompers. Mitchell. and Morrison,
who are accused of contempt of court.

and effectual disobedience of the injunc-
tion In the Buck Stove and Range Com

the case was concerned. The blow vas
to destroy the court itself according to
Mr.. Davenport, when Justice Gould s
order was instantly disregarded." He
charged that the boycott was a gigantic
conspiracy to crush the corporation as
an example OF organized labor's venge-
anCc.
Attorney Davenport was the last speak
er in the proceedings, and concluded
the argument for the committee of pros
eCutors. The court took the case under

IN JUSTICE TO JOEL HURT.

The three Atlanta papers recently
printed as an advertisement a card
signed and paid for by John E. Nc
Cielland. The card contained a bitter
personal attack on Joel Hurt, one of
Atlanta's foremost citizens. Mr. Hurt
has taken exception to the fact that
man was able through the advertising
columns of the Atlanta papers, to as
sail another's integrity.
The Georgian takes this occasion to
thank Mr.. Hurt for calling attention to
the inadvertence which allowed such
an attack to be made on him or any
other man in its news or advertising
columns without a thorough investiga-
ton having warranted such an article
The Georgian has perfect confidence in
Mr.. Hurts integrity and appreciates
the conscientious and unselfsh work
he has done to help make Atlanta the
kind of a city il is.
