TRUCK WHEELS
CRUSH OUT LIFE
West Orange Teamster. Jacob
MerkIin, Victim of Accident
Caused by Team.

Crushed beneath the wheels of his
own truck after he had been knocked
down by team of frightened horses
Jacob Merklin, well-known teamstei
of Pleasant Valley way, West Or
ange, was fatally injured today. AL
though medical assistance was sum-
moned at once. the victim died soon
after he had been admitted to the Or
ange Memorial Hospital.
When Merklin left his home he was
accompanied by his son George. who
was driving another team of horses
AS was customary for them each
morning, the drivers halted their
horses at drinking fountain at Mt
Pleasant place. The son had watered
his horses and driven on toward Or
ange.
The elder Merklin's horses had
finished drinking when he stepped
down from the truck to readjust the
harness. AS he did so the horses be-
came frightened and leaped forward
Merklin was thrown to the ground
and the wheels of the truck passed
over his body.
His cries attracted the attention OF
several persons to his assistance. The
team was halted before they had
travelled far. DIR. Samuel A. Muta,
mavor of West Orange, was sum-
moned and rendered what medical
assistance was possible to the In
jured man. The doctor ordered his
removal to the hospital at once.
Merlklin succumbed soon after he
reached that institution. F. A. Full
ton, of West Orange. hurried after
the son and notified him of the ac-
cident to his father.
Mr.. Merklin is survived by his
widow and several children. He was
well known in West Orange and had
conducted a successful trucking busi-
ness there for number of years.

The greatest objection possible is

BUCKS CONTEMPT
DECISION STANDS
Gompers' Sentence Reduced to
80 Days = Morrison and
Mitchell Only Fined.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The con-
tempt of court judgments upon
Samuel Gompers. Frank Morrison and
/ John Mitchell, officials of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, were sus-
tanned today by the Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia, which,
however, revised the sentences to
give Gompers thirty days imprison-
ment 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 gave Gompers one
year. Mitchell nine months and Nor
rison six months without option oi
fine All were convicted of violating
court injunction in the noted Bucks
Stove and Range case.
An appeal from the decision today
will be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States If attorneys fol
the labor leaders can find ground
upon which to ask the highest court
to review the judgment.
On a previous appeal to the Su-
preme Court the Judgment was eff
fectually dismissed and the contempt
proceedings were brought all over
again. In the previous action the
decision OF the court below holding
the men in contempt, was unanimous
The dissenting opinion of the CHIEF
justice today will present one ave-
nue. of further appeal.
The case has been a hard-fought
one, and attracted wide attention be-
cause of the prominence of the mer
involved. The contempt was alleged
to have been publication of the name
of the Bucks Stove and Range Com
pany in a so-called boycott list ir

official magazine after 1t had beer
forbidden by the court.
