AS other miners are evicted from

"Why are you doing all this?"

Shipley said, that while the coal
operators are throwing miners from
their houses, two comparatively poor
men are offering them place where
they can find food and shelter.

reason Is that my father did the

Expect More Criticism.


Armory, Cincinnati. o., June 16.-
Further sharp criticism of the SUI
preme courts Coronado decision was
expected today In special report
of the executive council, American
Federation Of Labor, scheduled to
be presented at todays session OF
the federation convention here.
The report, it was understood,
dealt harshly with Chief Justice
Taft, on the ground that, in express
ing regret at his inability to require
the United Mine Workers TO pay
damages in the case at issue. he at
tempted to blacken the miners union
in the public mind.
The council further pointed out,
that Taft's decision would impose on
labor unions, unincorporated and
not organized for profit, a greater
degree of liability than is imposed
on the stockholders of corporations.
That is, mdiviGIal members of the
unions would be held responsible for
criminal acts of some group OF
unionists, even though the union at
large had nothing to do with it.
President Gompers was expected
to present the report some time to-
day and refer 1t to the special COM
mittee dealing with court decisions

The convention was to continue
work today on routine resolutions.

that the agency controlling the label
