LABOR LEADERS, CASE.IS
NOW A CLOSED INCIDENT
Motion by Counsel for Judgment All
Remains in Prolonged Con-
tempt Proceedings.

The contempt proceedings against Sam
uel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison. labor leaders, which has oc-
cupied the attention of the local courts
for several years. is a closed incident.
The mandate of the Supreme Court OF
the United States. which held the pro-
ceeding barred by the statute Of limita-
tons. was received today by the clerk
of the District Supreme Court.
There remains only a motion by counsel
for the labor leaders for a judgment on
this mandate and Attorneys ]. H. Raj
ston and Alton B. Parker will probably
ask the court to dismiss the proceedings
at once.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
reversed the finding of the District Su-
preme Court and Of the District Court
of Appeals. The lower court ordered Mr..
Gompers to be imprisoned for twelve
months, Mitchell for nine months and
Morrison for six months The appellate
court considered the sentences excessive
and changed them to read Imprisonment
of thirty days for Gompers and fines OF
$500 each for Mitchell and Morrison. The
Supreme Court OF the United States set
aside both sentences.

Would Danny run? If he did that would
settle the matter. She could never. never

over and over to herself that very morn

stout and true?
Danny didn't run. Oh, my. no. When
he heard that sharp angry voice ordering
him to go away he replied just as sharp

just came right on, swapping his teeth

fight for her. She felt as if she must
be very important person.
The fat visitor didn't go back A single
step. He just waited for Danny to come
and all the time he worked himself into

darted forward and there they were

Now it is hard work to fight if you are
fat, and it wasn't long before Danny was
on top most of the time. How splendid
he was! Anyway. that Is what little
Miss Nanny thought. After a little the
fat visitor seemed to think Of nothing
but getting away. and at the very first
chance he started down the private little
path as fast as he could go. He didn't
look important at all now. His sleek
coat was torn and all rumpled up. He
was covered with dirt and his face was
scratched. And as he ran he squeaked
