GOMPERS' PENALTY

judgments against Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison for
their violation Of a courts injunction
in the noted Buck Stove and Range case,
we're affirmed by the District Court OF
Appeals, but the Jail sentences imposed
were held to have been too severe; so
the court reduced Gompers' sentence
from one year to 30 thirty days and de.
creed that Mitchell and Morrison should
merely be fined $500 each. The lower
court sentenced Mitchell to nine months
and Morrison to six. The Supreme Court
of the United States undoubtedly will
be asked to again review the decision.
Unlike previous decisions in this case,
which nave been unanimously against
the labor leaders, the Courut of Appeals
was. divided. Chief Justice Sheppard dis
scented, holding that the whole decision
should be reversed; that contempt of .
federal could was a criminal offense and
that the statute of limitations had run
in the case.
Justice Van Orsdell, who concurred in
the majority opinion, held that the re-
fusal of Mitchell to assur the lower

was important in measuring the in
tent and temper of the respondents"
With that the dissenting chief justice
disagreed, saying in his opinion:
81 am unable to see how the refusal
to apologize for an act, the commission
of which has been expressly denied,
shows a reprehensible intent of temper.
On the contrary, it seems to me the
natural conduct of a self-respecting man.
Having sworn Nat he neither disobeyed
nor intended to dissoey the mandate OF
the court, a confession that he had done
so would be q solemn admission of the
commission of wilful perjury"
The majority decision was largely de.
voted to setting out why the origin1

GOVERNOR HOLDS
LAND BILL ON DESK
WILL AWAIT WORD FROM PRESI-
DENT BEFORE ACTING.
HAS TEN DAYS TO SIGN BILL
Japs Are Allowed to Lease Agricultural
Land for Period of Three Years,
and There Is No Provision to
Prevent Releasing 1t.

Sacramento, Cal.-The California anti
alien land holding act, which passed both
houses of the Legislature within "a
hours after bringing about one Of the
most unusual situations in the history
of the nation, will lie on Gov. Johnson's
desk without his signature until Secre-
tary of State Bryan can confer with
President Wilson in Washington.
This will mean q delay of nearly =
week.
Gov. johnson will wait, as he says, "a
reasonable time" for whatever protests
the government may make, after which
he will sign the bill. He is required by
law to sign or veto all acts passed up to
him by the Legislature within 10 days
of final passage, provided the enacting
body remains in session for that length
of time. Otherwise, he has 80 days.
1t appeared that the Legislature would
not adjourn until May Is or later, which
would require the governor to act on or
before Tuesday, May 10.
There is much speculation here as to
the next probable step to be taken by
the government against the measure. 1t
is generally thought, however, that Presi-
dent Wilson will state his objections
once more to Gov. johnson and then seek,
through diplomacy, to answer the posi-
BILE protests from Toxic.
Opinion as to the effectiveness of the
action accomplishing its purpose, the
elimination of the japanese farmer, is
divided. Until the final amendment was
adopted. permitting aliens ineligible to
citizenship to lease agricultural lands for
three years, the measure was most dras-
tic.
Now, however, it is asserted by many
that it will accomplish little, inasmuch
as it does not stipulate that the leases
may not be renewed again and again,
Gov. johnson and the Progressives re
gard the measure as a necessary first
step in accomplishing what they believe
to be the desire of the people of the
state.

MUST PAY INTEREST
ON FEDERAL FUNDS
REPOSITORIES ASSESSED 2 PER
CENT AFTER JULY /.
M'ADOO'S ORDERS SWEEPING
More Surplus Money Will Be Released
to National Banks-First Time
in History Interest Asked
on Active Deposits.

Washington.-The fiscal system OF
the United States governing deposits OF
federal funds in national banks was rev
olutionized by Secretary McAdoo OF the
treasury department with an announce
ment that all government repositories,
whether active or inactive, would be re-
quired to pay interest at the rate OF 2
per cent per annum, beginning june l.,
upon deposits of the government.
Simultaneous with this action, the
secretary authorized an immediate in
crease OF $40, oo0, 900 in government de.
posits in the national banks, making the
total $50, 649, 694, from which the fed.
eral treasury will earn, under the new
interest order, S l,053,000 annually
There are indications that Secretary Nc.
Adoo intends to release still more sur
plus money from the treasury vaults
and place it in general circulation
through increased deposits with the na-
tIonal banks. In a statement he said:
With the banks paying interest en-
government deposits, the secretary may
be justified in keeping larger balances
in the national banks, thereby increas-
ing the volume OF money in circulation
and to that extent reducing the amount
locked up in the treasury"
Mr.. McAdoo also announced a radical
change in the character of securities
which the treasury department would
accept for government deposits. Instead
of requiring that the national banks Sc
cure treasury deposits exclusively with
United States or provincial government
bonds, they will be allowed in future
to secure 20 per cent with government
bonds and the remaining 80 per cent
with high-class state, city and county
bonds, acceptable to the secretary OF
the treasury, to be taken as security OF
rs per cen of their market value, but
not to exceed par.
