statute of limitation had expired be- fore the second proceedings were be- gun.
 During the seven years this case was in litigation, Gompers exerted his influence to reform injunction and contempt procedure, Court de- cisions holding that trade unions could be prosecuted as combinations in restraint of trade under the Sher- man Antitrust law prompted him to couple with these reforms a demand for specific exemption from anti trust prosecutions for labor organi- zations. All these were incorporated in the Clayton revision of the anti trust laws.
 Throughout the twenty yeras of an- thrust agitation which followed the enactment of the Sherman antitrust law, Mr. Gompers was active in urg- ing legislation and litigation against the big combinations of capital which had grown up in the industrial world. He conducted campaign against the United States Steel corporation which eliminated in an exhaustive investi- gatiOn of that concern by a commit tee of the House of Representatives
 In his long administration of the American Federation of Labor, MT. Gompers was constantly called upon to avert threatened schisms in the organization, and to bring together tactlonal elements which developed from time to time. By his efforts compromise after comprOise was ef- fected, and the unity of the federa- tion was maintained. Throughout, he was a staunch advocate of the trade union" system of labor organization as opposed to the "inductrial union system, and his efforts and those of his followers developed the American labor movement along the lines of the former plan. He was constantly called upon by unions affiliated with the Federation to act as arbitrator and mediator in labor disputes, and he probably settled by his individual efforts more strikes than any other man in labor history.
 Samuel Gompers was born in London, England, January 21, 1850. Ills father was a cigar maker and Samuel was the eldest of eight chiI- dren. His mother was woman of excellent education and through her Influence he was led to study. Not withstanding the fact that at the age of ten he began to help his father support the family. He went to school alter his sixth to his tenth year and was then apprentenced to a shoe maker. This trade was not to his liking, however, and he learned the trade of his father and while working as cigar-maker attended evening school for four years.
 He came to the United States when ne was thirteen years old and work ca as cigar-maker in New York City. In 1864 he first became iderti ned With the labor movement when he helped organize tn Cigar-Makers International union. Te served as secretary and president of the U ion
Seward daily gateway., 1924-12-15

for six years and under his manage ment it became large and success full organization. He also edited the local paper of the Cigar-Makers Un- ion, the Picket" during that time. It was in connection with this work that he became interested in a na- tiOnal association of trade unions that would preserve the autonomy. of the local organizations. Under his lead ership the Cigar Makers union fought the Knights of Labor on this princi- pie. He served as president of the New York State Federation of Labor for two years, and in 1881 founded the national Federation, serving as it's president for the first five years without compensation.
 Several opportunities to enter pub lie office were declined by Mr. Com pers at different times in his career He refused to run for the state sen-- ate in New York, although offered both the Republican and Democratic nominations. He declined a republi- can nomination for Congress. Gov ernor Hill of New York offered him place on the state board of arbitra- tion and President Mckinley tender ed him an appointment on the h. dustrial Commission, but he declined both. He was active in the agitation for a treaty between the United States and Great Britain which would provide for the arbitration of all disputes
 In 1898 he served as a delegate to the National conference held at Sar- atoga, N. Y., to discuss ways and means to meet the conditions in the United States growing out of the Spanish-American war and he was al member of the committee that pres ented the views of that conference to| President Mckinley.
 Notwithstanding earnest opposition by substantial part of the union la, Dor element MT. Gompers took anI active part in the organization of the National Civic Federation, formed to establish better relations between cap- ital and labor. He represented labor in the Federation, and was vice-pres- ldent of the organization. He also took part in many congresses, con- ferences and conventions devoted to the promotion of social service.
 He was affiliated with the Society for Ethical Culture of New York City, established in 1867 by Felix Adler, and in addition to the American Fed eration of Labor he remained an &C., tive member of the Cigar-Makers h. ternational Union. He also belonged to the Free and Accepted Masons, the Independent Order of Odd Eel lows, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Home Club.
 He was the author of numerous small pamphlets in the nature of tracks on labor questions, wrote

and edited the American Federation ist," the official organ of the Ameri- can Federation.
 Throughout his career, Mr. Com pers refused to become identified with any political party, taking the

position that he could be of more ser vice to the cause of labor by holding himself aloof from Identification with any single political organization.
 He married Sophia Julian, of New York, and their family consisted of three sons and a daughter.

The lower court dissolved the temporary injunction 1t granted before the hearing and appeal was taken by the compliments.

ORDER OF JUDGE
 IGNORED BY JURY
ChirOpractor Freed Despite Pro
 nOuncement Of Guilty

OPELIKA, Ala, May 22.-(Special Leased Wire. )-In the trial of Dr. P. Hamblin, local chiropractor, charged with practicing medicine, or surgery without a license in the circuit court of Lee county, the proceedings came to a drastic close when the jury came to a verdict of mot guilty" contrary to the courts instructions. After hear ing of the evidence for the state and the defendant the presiding judge, N. D. Denson, gave the affirmative charge in favor of the state, the lam suage being, "I charge you, gentlemen of the jury, that if you believe all the evidence in this case, you should con- yict the defendant" The jury after being out for only a few minutes re- turned verdict of not guilty.
 Judge Denson then reprimanded the jury in strong terms for disregarding the plain instructions of the court, de- clafing that the defendant was clearly guilty of violating the law as decided by the court of appeals. The judge then called the defendant before the stand and stated to him that although the jury had declared him not guilty, yet under the law he was clearly guilty and advised him to procure li- cense to practice his profession, and if, brought before the court again on conviction a hard labor sentence would be imposed in addition to the fine.
 The court also advised the defendant that if he could not secure a license to practice in Alabama to move to state where he could secure one, and then turning to the jury the judge summarily dismissed them, discharged nll other jurors and adjourned court the business on docket.
