James W. Dougherty, for 10 years
secretary treasurer of the international
brotherhood OF Bookbinders of the
United States and Canada, died at his
home in indianapolis at 8 o'clock Fri
day morning, September 25, after a
two months illness, according to brief
statement appearing in the last issue of
the International Bookbinder, official
paper of the organization. In June last
Secretary Dougherty attended the ma
tional convention of the bookbinders
held in Denver and-was OF course prom
inent in all the proceedings He was
then the picture of health and activity,
and while here made host of friends
in the printing and other trades
Following within almost a year the
death of President Robert Checking of

comes as distinct shock not only to
members of the organization he had
served so long and faithfully. but to the
entire labor movement of the country,
among whom the deceased was recog
nized as one of the leading exponents
and workers for uplift of the toilers
generally. Funeral services and inter-

Moser Tells About Plan.
Ralph G. Moser, who recently re-
turned from Peoria, ILL.,, where he at
tended the national convention of In
ternational Steam and Operating Engi-
neers. and who will be one of the dele
gates from that body to the American
Federation of Labor convention in Phil
n delphia next month, was asked by
The Bulletin for further light on this
alliance. In view of the fact that the
engineers are parties to the agreement,
and the matter was thoroughly dis
cusscd at the Peoria meeting, Delegate
Moser is thoroughly informed on the
subject.
"rhis is movement to unite all the
basic building trades, some ten OF
twelve. under an alliance or agreement
by which jurisdictional disputes may be
adjusted without disturbing building
operations. Some years ago National
Building Trades Council was formed
with headquarters at st. Louis, with
this object in view, and later the build
ing trades department of the American
Federation of Labor has practically
made failure in the same effort. Now
this new plan has been evolved with the
hope of accomplishing satisfactory re-
suits.

j. L. Carlisle, said to be an employe
of the Merchants, Manufacturers and
Employers Association, and Fred Will
son, a chauffeur employed by H C.
Brokaw, q detective of the association,
were arrested at Stockton, Cal, as the
first official move following an expose
of plots to discredit union labor in its
struggle against the open shop" pro-
claimed there by the NJ. NJ and E.
Carlisle was named in an lS-page con-
fession made by A P. Emerson, under
arrest on the charge of illegal posses
sion of explosives, to officials of Contra
Costa county. Emerson asserted that
he, was directed to place dynamite in
various buildings owned or maintained
by NJ. NJ and E. members and then
discover it there. For such discover
les, he said, he was to be well remuner.
ated, largely by those whose property
supposedly he had saved, while the i'm
phcation against the unions was, he
said, desired by those who gave him his
orders.
Euserson's statement increased in
union labor ranks the excitement
caused by the reading of affidavits at

JUSTICE WRIGHT
QUITS THE BENCH
Tenders Resignation to PreSi-
dent Under Pressure
With Impeachment Certain, the Man
Who Sentenced Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison Suffers Disgrace

Press dispatches from Washington
this week announce that Associate JUS
tiee Daniel Thew Wright OF the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme Court,
against whom impeachment charges are
pending before the House judiciary com
mittee, has sent his resignation to
President Wilson, to take effect Novem-
her 10. The charges, filed by Wash
ington banker, alleged official and per-
sonal misconduct.
This will be pleasing news to men,
bers of organized labor, for it means the
elimination from the judicial bench of
one of the most supple tools of criminal
corporations 1t was Justice Wright
who condemned Gompers Mitchell and
Morrison to jail sentences for alleged
violation OF his injunction in the Ia
nous Bucks stove case. This decision
was later set aside by the United States
Supreme Court.
1t was proven in the Mulhall inves-
tigation before 4 congressional commit
tee that Justice Wright was closely al
lied with the agents and labor crushing
tactics of the National Association of
Manufacturers. 1t was also shown that
he used his judicial position to black
mail bankers and business men of
Washington.
Evidence had been produced that was
sure to result in his impeachment, SO
that news of his resignation comes as
no surprise. Congressman Parks OF
Georgia, proposed the judges impeach-
ment on charges filed by Wade R.
Cooper. a prominent Washington bank
er. 1t was also asserted that Wright
received division of fees retained by
trustees or receivers appointed by him
in court actions. Officers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Wash
ington Central Labor Council were ac-
tive in collecting the evidence which
meant either impeachment or forced
resignation. Justice Wright has chosen
the latter course.
