American Federationist, in Symposium

|By Associated Pre»s]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Interest
■vvas, aroused here bj the advance
copli ■ of the American Pederatlonist,
containing an article entitled "Labor
Duty of the Hour." There was
dlicussl 'ii as to whether the article.
which contains expressions of opinion
by men prominent In labor circles, con
stituted contempl of court.
The views were upon the decision of
District Supreme Court Justice Wright
adjudging In contempt of court Samuel !
Gomperd John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison,
When the article was shown to Jus
tice Gould he said:
-I ice nothing In the articles that
could be termed contempt of court. A
man has a right to make comment
upon i lupreme court
Judge, providing hi 6 ■ uol Impute
Improprl ty or Improper motive. in
other words, a man has a right t
■what he Uiinks of a decision. Con
tempt of court will ]!■> where one de
liberately violates an Injunction."
Leaders Express Opinions
"The liberty of a citizen is reason
ably safe," declares John Mitchell in
the symposium, "in the keeping ol
twelve fellow citizens. It i hould not
lie intrusted to any one man, it mat
ters not whether he be monarch, Judge
or layman. The power to convict and
imprison citizens of the United States
Bhould neither be forced upon the
; of our courts nor arrogated by
them."
Frank Duffy, general eeeretary of the
United Brol I of Carpi nters and
Joiners, fays:
"If judges can 1. gaily defame urnl
orally abuse In expressing opinion or
stating assumed invent ted or
established facts, are they &bovi
