T KM if a I aft 1 I GOMPERS GOES FR EE SUPREME COURT HOLDS LABOR CHIEF, MORRISON AND MITCH- ELL NOT IN CONTEMPT. LOWER JURISTS REVERSED Highest Tribunal Holds Jail Sentencen In Bucks Stove Company's Boy. cott Suit as Invalid and They Are Set Aside. Washington. Setting aside the sen tences of Imprisonment Imposed by the supreme court of tho District of Columbia for alleged disobedience to a boycott Injunction, the Supremo court of the United States held that Samuel Gompors, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, president, vice-president and socrotary, respectively, of tho American Federation of Labor, had .been erroneously sentenced to jail on a charge of contempt of a local court. Tho Justices unanimously held that fines were the only sentences that could bo Imposed on tho labor lead ers. In so holding, the Supreme court of tho United States found that tho court of appeals of the District of Co lumbia and the supremo court of the district erred In treating tho contempt proceedings as a criminal case and not a civil one. Tho effect of hold ing the proceedings a civil one was to mako Jail sentences 'Impossible. Henco the Jail sentences had to be sot aside. To correct the error the case was sent back to tho local courts, with di rection that It be dismissed. At the same time tho court expressly made it possible for civil proceedings to be instituted against tho labor men. The court was led to hold rtiat tho contempt proceedings in this case must be civil in nature because crim inal punishment is exercised by courts to force persons to do acts command ed. In the present case the court took tho view that the labor men were be ing sent to jail not to mako them do something tho court ordered but be cause of "something they had done." Inasmuch as all tho differences be tween the labor men and the com plainant have been adjusted, Including tho "boycott" case out of which the contempt proceedings arose, the deci sion is probably the last heard of this famous action. The charges of contempt against Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Mor rison arose out of a bitter labor war betweej) organized labor and the Bucks Stovo & Range company of 8L Louis. The concern had come Into the su preme court of tho District of Colum bla to prevent, by Injunction, the American Federation of Labor and its officials from boycotting its own prod ucts or the business of those who dealt with it. The company claimed that tho fed eration was trying to unionize tho company's shops. The labor leaders urged that tho company was "unfair" to labor. The head of the company was J. W. Van Cleave, president of the National Manufacturers' associa tion, which had often come into con flict with the federation. He was charged with having been opposed to organized labor. Justice Gould of tho district su preme court Issued the injunction prayed for by tho company, and con tinued publication of the Ducks firm's name in the federation "we do not patronize" llBt led to the contempt charges. Justice Wright found the union offi cers guilty and sentenced President Gompers to one year in Jail; Vice Presldont Mitchell to nine months, and Secretary Morrison to six months. It was further charged that In the succeeding number of the Federation 1st Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison Joined In an appeal to organized labor for funds to enrry the injunction case to the higher courL It was contended that this appeal was used as n vehi cle to continue tho boycott. The charges stated that the appeal referred to an editorial in the same number of tho magazine as setting forth the nttitude of those making the appeal. This editorial was attributed to Mr. Gompers. In addition to tho "urgent appeal," in which Mr. Mitchell joined, he was accused of having acted In contempt by presiding over tho United Mine Workers' convention when It adopted a resolution to flno any member whe bought a Ducks stove.
