ENLARGE POWERS OF

DENOUNCED BY GoMPERs.
Decision BY Supreme Court In Coro.
nado Case.

Cincinnati, June 6. (By the Asso
ciated Press The decision Of tht
supreme court Of the. United States il
the Coronado mine case yesterday, was
denounced to-day by Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, as setting precedent under
which capital can "impose any condi.
tion on the working people of the coun
try and they would dare not resist.
The veteran labor leader said, how
ever, that he believed there was some
latent power over and above the
supreme court--the Congress and the
people of the United States" which
would repudiate the courts ruling.
Mr.. Gompers especially condemned
the statement of Chief Justice Taft in
reading thee ourt's opinion.
"The comment of the chief justice
that it was great regret that the court
finds iself unable to affirm the award
of damages by the lower court. is
gratuitous, bitter and unforgivable, 2
said President Gompers.
"The court has, for the first time ip
history of federal legislation laid down
the principle that voluntary corpora
ticn is liable to be held for damages
by any act committed by one or
group Of its members, no matter how
far unrelated they may be in distance
or supervision.
"The Coronado case comes as the
climax to the decision Of the supreme
court in recent months. and to the
chief justiceship Of Mr. Taft. While ap-
placating the mine union
from responsibility of damages, It'll
the principle that a union
,an be held responsible for the conduct
,f any Of its members.
Mr.. Gompers referred to the textile
strike and other union strikes,
the opinion that any strik-
ng unions would. under the Coronado
decision. be held for any damages in
'urrcd by the employers due to the
strike Such condition. he declared,
vas contrary to the intent of the
authors Of the Shipman law and in
