 Justice Wright discloses the men tai attitude of a bygone age when the masters owned the Workmen Wright undertook to deny the work CTS of our time equality before the law and the rights they have gained Oy the courts acts. He would for bid men to even criticise a judge or his decision, In 50 doing he is propagating Il dangerous dogma, for no theory is more subversiye of democracy than the theory of in fallibilty

 One of the statements in the edi- torial was that Russia could not go farther in judicial censorship than Wright did in his contempt de cision.
 Gompers calls the jurist Censor Wright" and adds: Wright gave the men accused no credit for truth fitness or honesty. His whole sum mary of John Mitchells evidence was sheer a this veracity,'
