.GOMPERS ACCUSES
SUPREME COURT Of
BEING ANT|-UN|0N|ST
Blow at Human Freedom: Pre-
datory Greed Satisfied, Says
Labor's Leader.

st. Louis Jan 4-The decision of
the United States supreme court Mon
day relative to the so-called secondary
boycott. was attacked in formal state
ment here Tuesday night by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor. who asserted the
court has Joined forces with the anti
union shop movement.
The statement characterized the de-
cisien as a blow at the movement for
human freedom and progress
The court held that labor unions or
their members are accountable under the
anti trust laws where they depart from
their normal and legitimate objects and
engage in an actual combination or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade
Gomper's Statement.
Mr. Gompers' statement follows.
.The supreme court has joined forces
with the anti-union shop movement, the
movement to undermine and destroy the
only organizations which the working
people have for their protection.
The decision of the majority justices
fully justifies the statement attributed
by the press to Justice Rrandeis in the
minority dissenting opinion, that the
whole movement of 80 years to place
workers and employees on a basic equal
ity before the law has been nullified.
Suits Predatory Greed.
II have not read the whole language
of the decision but | have seen suffi-
cient to say that it is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the most ardent wishes of
predatory greed and should be highly
satisfactory to those who exalt profits
and deny the aspirations of humanity.

Haynes Takes
Over Office OF
u. S. Dry Chief
Says He Will Give Position
Best OF His Energy and
Ability: Kramer Outlines
Most Important Tasks
Would Limit Physicians
New Executive Is Warned
That Border Problems
Will Re main Difficult

WASHINGTON, June 11.-~Roy A.
Haynes, of Hillsboro, Ohio, entered to-
day upon the duties of Prohibition
Commissioner as the successor to John
F. Kramer, of Mansfield, Ohio, the first
Federal prohibition dry enforcement
officer. He said that although he had
not as yet formulated any general
policy, he brought to his new office
the best of his energy and ability.
Upon REIMBURSEMENT of the post
which he has held since November /.
1919, Mr.. Kramer issued a formal
statement setting forth some of the
more important problems before the
new commissioner. To make Mr..
Haynes's burden easier Mr.. Kramer sug-
gested that Congress enact a law Civ
ing him authority to limit the number
of prescriptions for whisky which
physicians may issue and the quantity
of whiskies which may be manufac-
use of whisky in medicines in which
alcohol has customhrily been used.
Must Be Loyal
Primary among the problems facing
tho new prohibition commissioner, Nh.
Kramer said would be the necessity
OF maintaining an organization which
will Loyalty do the work. Although d
few prohibition enforcement officers
have betrayed their trust, he declared,
the great majority of them are ab-
solutely loyal and honest.
"Second--Alcohol will continue to be
q problem" he said "It must be en-
eouraged for industrial uses and pur-
poses, yet the very alcohol which is so
valuable in industrial lines of work
can easily be made potable liquor.
"Third-The border problem is a
rather serious one; in that liquors are
smuggled into the country. This will
remain a problem until foreign gov
ernments can see their way clear to
Sc adjust their laws that they will not
make it difficult for their neighbor and
friends to carry out the laws which
have been enacted by their said neigh
bors and friends.
Stills in South
Fourth, the Illicit making of whisky,
and this especially in the South, will
remain a problem for some time to
come.
Fifth, the withdrawal of whisky and
alcohol from bond on forged permits.
This has been one of our greatest prob
lens and is not altogether solved"
Local and state support to Federal
officials has become more pronounced,
Mr.. Kramer continued.
"The people," he added, "have to a
great extent adapted themselves to the

the trend of public opinion warrant
the prediction that it will be only a

the keynote of the campaign begun
