GOMPERS ATTACKS COURTS DECISION
 ON CORONADO CASE
Declares Verdict Is Negation of Right to Strike-AssaiIs Congress and LeglSla-
 lures as Enemies
By Associated Press

Cincinnati. June 9.--Protests
 of organized labor, ns voiced
 here today mt preIiminhries for
 the annual convention next week
 of the American Federation of
 Labor centered against the su-
 preme court, the Congress and
 state legislatures In general.
 Samuel Gompers. president of the federation, in addressing a club Of business men interpreted the decision in the Coronado coal case as negation of the right to strike, and declared that organized labor would appeal to congress for new legisla- tion setting aside the decision.
 In eriticizing the supreme court, Mir. Gompers said that he expected to be taken strictly to account" for his utteranees, hdding that T do not run away from q fight"
 But 1t has come to pretty pass" he continued. when an American citizen can no longer discuss the de- cision of the courts. Any one, if he feels so disposed can critisize the President of the United States. or the United States Senate or the Com gross. Pray Of what flesh are the members of the supreme court that they are above criticism beyond that Of the President of the United states?"
 Assail Congress
 Delegates to the meeting of the metal trades department of the fede- ration, by unanimous action assailed Congress and state legislatures as enemies of labor and declared for labor's active participation In the fall campaigns in an effort to elect its friends, regardless of their politics.
 Two other departments also con tlnue their meetings, the delegates to the union label department dis cussing plans for furthering sales Of products bearing the union label and the delegates to the congress split ting up into common committees for concluding their work tomorrow. In his speech Mir Gompers said the Coronado decision made internation- al unions, indorsing strikes, liable for damages, and he asserted this meant the unions must withstand constant litigation or go out of business"
 Re-EstabIish Slavery
 ''If v1,t compel men and women, regardless of conditions he con- tinued, Ito work against their WILL, you have re-established slavery. Some people are impressed now Is the time to take advantage of the working people, reduce wages and break up their organizations and under the open shop weaken or de- stroy the unions"
 In this connection he warned against driving the bargain too hard" assartfnR that a day of reck- onfng will come" and adding that the organized workers are the greatest stablizing force" in the country. Referring to rail union chiefs, he said they had prevented strikes, which he said had been de- sired by the union members general ly and he concluded with the express sion of hope for the time when em- blowers and employees would solve their problems at the conference table.

 HE MADE TO HOUSE

Washington. June 9.-tSpecial.) )- It is understood today that several members of the military committee of the House are not entirely satis- fled with either of the three re- ports respecting the offer of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals put before the House by the committee today.
 It Is indicated that because of that fact. there will be still other reports. The members will have five days in which to submit additional reports.

 He kissed her adequately but with out any sort of emotion, thinking it strange. all the while her mouth chung to his, that he should so clear ly know this to be good acting, no more than that, no less. Bellamy was not accustomed to see through women at so young a stage of in- timacy; that came later. came surely; but never before had it come so soon.
