GoMPERs TALKS OF COURTS
ABUSING THEIR POWEH

Washington. Dec. 13.-Abuse by tina
American courts of their own power will
ultimately destroy public confidence in
their integrity. Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent Of the American Federation Of La
Dor, declared in a statement tonight.
Referring to a recent court action pro-
hibiting publication OF a railroad labor
5orad decision, he declared that "iniunc-
tons in labor disputes are becoming In
tolerable."
The Pennsylvania railroad, Mr.. Comp
-rs Continued, obtained from the courts
piece Of paper which not only stops
an award by the railroad labor board
but prevents its publication. No moro
outrageous proceeding has been record
ed than this. A government institu-
ton Is prevented from publishing de-
cision which a railroad does not ike.
THE fact that court can stop the
publishing of a decision reached by any
government agency is repugnaat to ev-
cry ideal OF democracy. The effect OF
the injunction is to prohibit the people
from reading the decision of a govern
ment agency and the principle is the
same as it would be If the courts wero
to forbid the people from reading the
presidents message"

Mr.. Unternyer charged the piasters
were "blackjaclIing" the public in do
ing this, and also the contractors.
IF you tell contractor he has to pay
500 Or $1,000. or he does not get union

less he pays what you tell him to pay,
