THE BASEBALL LEAGUE
Meeting at Hoosick Falls Failed to
Complete Organization

Manager John p. Morrissey and
Judge E. l.. Bates of the managing
committee of the Bennington Base
Falls Monday evening where a meet
ing was held for the purpose of COM
pleting, If possible, the four-town
league. Delegates were present at
the meeting from North Adams and a
number of Hoosick Falls men, who
have been identified with baseball in
recent years, were also in attendance.
The position of the Hoosick Falls
fans had been set forth in letter
which was read at the meeting in
Adams on the Sd, but to which the
Bennington management was unable
to agree. This position in substance
that there should be an even ex-
change of game on Sunday between
Bennington and Hoosick Falls, half of
the games to be played in Bennington
and half in Hoosick Falls.
The Bennington representatives
explained that 1t would be inexped-
lent for the Vermont team to 60 to
Hoosick Falls on Sunday and gave
the reasons for its position. But to
facilitate an agreement it was pro-
posed that all games with Hoosick
Falls on Sunday be played at Fowler
park and that each club turn about
in the division of receipts, one to
play for guarantee and the other
to take the balance of the receipts.
This was not entirely satisfactory to
Hoosick Falls but the New York
town representatives were ready to
give it careful consideration and to
hold another meeting on Thursday
for further discussion.

GOMPERS MUST GO
TO JAIL FOR ONLY
ONE MONTH
Sentence Reduced BY United
States Supreme Court
ORIGINALLY ONE YEAR
Highest Tribunal Decides That Pun
ishment of Labor Leader Was
Severe.

Washington, May 6.-Contempt o.
court judgments against Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and Frank Morri-
son, the labor leaders, for their VIC
lation of courts Injunction in the
noted Bucks stove and range case,
were affirmed yesterday by the Dis
| trict court of appeals, but the Jail SEN
| fences imposed were held to have
| been too severe; so the court reduced
Gomper's sentence from one year to
80 days, and decreed that Mitchell
Morrison should merely be fined $500
each. The lower court sentenced Nit
chell to nine months and Morrison to
six The supreme court of the Unit
ed States undoubtedly will be asked
| to review the decision again.
Unlike previous decisions in this
case, which have been unanimously
against the labor leaders, the court of
appeals was divided Chief Justice
Sheppard, who dissented, held that
the whole decision should be revers
ed; that contempt of federal court
was a criminal offense and that the
statute of limitations had run in the
case Justice Van Orsdel, who con-
Cured in the majority opinion held
that the refusal of Mitchell to assure
the lower court of his intention to
obey the mandate of inferior courts in
the future was important in measur-
ing the intent and temper of the re-
spondent."
With that the dissenting chief JUS
tice disagreed, saying in his opinion:
Il am unable to see how the refusal
to apologize for an act, the commits
sion of which has been expressly de-
MED shows a reprehensible intent or
temper. On the contrary. it seems to
me the natural conduct of a self-res-
pecting man. Having sworn that he
neither disobeyed nor intended to dis
obey the mandate of the court. con
fession that he had done so would be
a solemn admission of the commits
sion of wilful perjury"
The majority decision was largely
devoted to setting out why the origi-
nal sentences were held unreasonable
In part it was held: "To permit re-
spondents to escape punishment
would be a traversy on justice. but
we think that the penalty imposed is
so unreasonable as to demand modifi-
cation. The differences which neces-
STATED the Injunction have been set
tied. The sole purpose of punish
ment, therefore. is to give reasonable
assurable assurance that respondents
will in the future respect the authori-
ty of the courts. While the injunc-
ton was issued to restrain the most
subtle and far reaching conspiracy to
boycott that has come to our atten.
ton, the boycott has ceased and the
necessity for the injunction no longer
existed at the time this case was tried
below.
"a penalty, therefore, which would
have been justifiable to prevent fur

needless and excessive. Had the
court below imposed penalties not
greatly in excess of those which we
now deem adequate, we would not
feel justified in holding that there had
been an abuse of discretion. Since,
however, the penalties imposed are
SO unreasonably excessive and we are
called upon to modify the judgments,
we prefer to err, if at all, on the side
of moderation. No one, however, can
read this record without being con-
vinced that respondent Gompers has
been the chief factor in this con-
tempt; hence, severer punishment
is merted in his case than in the cas-
es of the other respondents"
