REACTTONARY JURISTS
SETBACK UNIONISM
Gompers Declares Unwarrantable De-
cisiOn Defining as Conspiracy"
Attacks on open Shops

The most reactionary blow of the
current year was delivered to or
ganized labor during the present
week in a decision of the United
States Supreme Court, which con-
tains an amazing definition of the
charge of Conspiracy" in the union
ization of "open shops" Its pur-
port would indicate that the mildest
kind of moral suasion, if it provoked
fear of financial loss on the part of
the "open shop" company. Justices
Brandes, Holmes and Clark dis
scented from this decision, but were
overruled by their six confreres.
The opinion was boldly character
lied as "unwarrantable," in a state
ment issued by President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor as "far-reaching and I'M
warrantable." He said through it
John Mitchell, former president, and
William B. Wilson, former secre-
tary-treasurer of the Miners Inter
national Union, are stigatized as
conspirators Despite the opinion,
he declared, the work of organizing
the workmen of the country in order
to "reach our goal for better con-
cept of not only political but indus
trial democracy" will continue un-
abated.
Attorneys for the miners today
filed with the court statement in
which general denial of the charges
is made and the court gave the de-
PENDANTS 60 days in which to prepare
their case.
Mr.. Gompers, in his statement,
says: "To hold that the United Mine
Workers of America is an unlawful
organization or that it is a con-
spiracy, is to bark back to the days
when employers were monarchs of
all they surveyed, and their employees
were servants or slaves. The miners
union undertook, by perfectly lawful
means, to reach the unorganized and
underpaid miners of West Virginia,
so that they might be treated as
men and as citizens with RESPONSE
bility of maintaining families upon
an American standard.
"In its petition the Hitchman Coal
and Coke Company did not have the
temerity to claim that there was any
violence or unlawful conduct on the
part of the representatives of the
union to organize the coal miners.
"The scale of wages paid the mi
ners in many of the mines of West
Virginia is far below that prevail
ing in the entire competitive field,
and the Hitchman company pays the
lowest Of them all, and yet in its
petition the company said that the
miners union admitted to have made
that company pay such scale of
wages as said United Mine Workers
of America arbitrarily fixed
president Wilson has justly de
clared that society has given its
sanction that the eight-hour work
day is justified. 1t is to bring light
and hope and patriotism into the life
of the workers for which we are
organized and are organizing and
federating the toilers of America,
and we shall gon on to reach our
goal for better concept of not
only political but industrial democ-
racy."
