Mitchell and Morrison Escape With
Fines in the District of Columbia
Contempt Proceedings.

Washington.-The contempt of court
judgments against Samuel Gompers,
Frank Morrison and John Mitchell,
officials of the American Federation
of Labor, were sustained by the court
of appeals for the District of Column
bia. which, however, revised the SEN
fences to give Gompers thirty days
Imprisonment and fine Mitchell and
Morrison $500 each with no Jail term.
The chief justice of the court dis
senting. held that the entire judgment
should be reversed The lower court
had sentenced Gompers to one year
imprisonment Mitchell nine months
option of fine.
All were convicted of violating a
court Injunction in the noted Bucks
Stove and Range case, by causing the
name of the company to be printed in
the unfair list in the official paper
of the American Federation of Labor.
The federation was fighting the
stove company, then a non-union con-
Germ. Since then the company has
recognized and employs only union
men. 1t has endeavored to have the
dropped, but without
avail.
An appeal from this decision will
be taken to the supreme court of the
United States if attorneys for Che
labor leaders can find ground on
which to ask the highest court to re-
view the judgment
On previous appeal to the supreme
court the judgment was effectualIy
dismissed, and the contempt proceed

the previous action the decision of the
court below, holding the men in con-
tempt, was unanimous. The dissent
