^udge Wright of the 8upr«m« Court of
z the District of Columbia Holds La
bor Loader* Violated Mandamus of
Judge Gould in J3ucK Stove and
sV Range Case—Defendant* Appeal
1**^ From Decision.
Washington, Dec. 24.—The famous
jtootompt case of the Buck Stove and
flUnge company against President
jj&ompers, Vice President Mitchell and
.• Ifk'crotary Morrison of the American
it'udcration of Labor was decided by
'Justice Wrixht. of the supreme court
the District of Columbia adversely
"•-.. to the Federatios of Labor officials.
Ittompera was sentenced to twelve
jDimthn' Imprisonment, Mitchell to
•ftlne mouths and Morrison to six
-fciontliB.
Pending the taking of «a appeal
|o the court of appeals of tfie District
lf Columbia all three defendants worn
feleased on bail, the amount being
Uxod a* follows: OomperB $5,000,
Jfltchell $4,000 and Morrison $3,000.
local surety company furnished the
Jfcoiuls.
Eaob of the defendants, before sen
tence was passed upon them, made
4tatom*nts in response to the usual
Inquiry if they had anything to say.
The oase grew out of the alleged
boycott of the company's products
And the putting of that company on
tbe unfair list and the federation's al
leged violation of Judge Gould's re
font mandamus has attracted wide at
tention.
The fiuck company's prosecution of
(0ie officials of the federation began in
August, 1907. The original action was
test case, wherein it was sought to
•tijoin the labor unions from using the
*tanfalr" mid "we don't patronise"
lists in their light against firms and
Individuals. Justice Gould of the su-
Ca
i
eme court of the District of Colum
issued an injunction, which later
iras made permanent, forbidding the
publication of the company's name in
these lists. President Uompers, in an
editorial hi the Federatlonist of Jan
tary last, made known his intention
•s Sot to obey the court's order, contend
big that the injunction issued was in
derogation of the rights of labor and
gn abuse of the injunctive power of
ihe courts. Gompers, Mitchell and
Idorrison subsequently were cited foif
fontempt and this phase of the case
fcas been before the court for many
fuonths, the proceedings taking the
|orm of a hearing of testimony before
examiner and many arguments.
I Court Denounces Defendant*.
'1 Judge Wright's decision was a
Scathing denunciation of the defend
\#nts. He recited tbe conditions ante
iedlng the injunction and referred to
|he fact that for twenty-five years the
Buck plant had operated as a ten-hour
llhop and always had maintained an
•open shop." He also spoke of the
ftumecical strength of the American
federation of Labor, with its 2,000,000
JBembers, and of its repeated endorse
•lent of the boycott of the Buck Stove
ftnd Range company through the
American Feder&tlonlst, the federa
tion's official organ, speeches by the
defendants, letters, circulars, etc.
ltte court referred to the use of the
*we don't patronize" list and "unfair"
of the labor organization and said
ttiat members of labor unions were
iwced and coerced into supporting it
"whether individually willing or un
willing, approving or disapproving,"
various methods. The court read
•xtracts from numerous resolutions of
labor organizations bearing on the
Suck case as tending to show the
ftiethods of Influencing members of
VcIom
"and these methods," the court
Vemarked, "seem to be known as per
suasion.'
rt
The customers of the
gtove company, the court said, had
fceen intimidated, browbeaten and
i 4)oerced out of their business relations
With their customers "by direct lnter
llsrenoe with and boycott of their (the
Customers) trade relations with their
«wn customers and the public gener
ally."
Following an exhaustive discussion
... conspiracies In restraint of trade
A.- Justice Wright said:
"From the foregoing it ought to
•eem apparent to thoughtful men that
Hhe defendants to the bill, each and
Ull of them, have combined together
Jbr the purpose of:
"First—Bringing about the breach
#f plaintiff's existing contracts with
others.
"Second—Depriving plaintiff of
property (the value of the good will
0t Its business) without due process
§t law.
"Third—Restraining trade among
ihe several states.
"Fourth—Restraining commerce
ftmong the several states."
The ultimate purpose of the defend
*nts, the court said In this connec
tion, was unlawful, their concerted
project an offense against the law and,
It added, they were guilty of crime.

NOTED FIRE FIGHTER
MAY DIETiUSTIME
Has Repeatedly Fooled Doctors
on Other Occasions.
Philadelphia, Dec. 26.—As the re
sult of smoke inhalation during a Are
In a moving picture theater Samuel
Dunlap, an assistant Are chief and
onj of the best known men in the
local department, is In a precarious
condition at a hospital. Several other
firemen were overcome by smoke
during the fire, but with the excep
tion of Dunlap none is in a serious
condition.
Chief Dunlap has been in more acci
dents than any other member of the
Philadelphia Are department and he
has more than once fooled the sur
geons by returning to duty after they
had pronounced him hopelessly in
capacitated. Moreover, he is the hero
of one of the most desperate rescues
in the history of the department, hav
ing at the imminent risk of his own
life gone into a building several years
ago bringing out Abe Lacey, a fire
man who was injured with him in this
latest fire. He went through smoke
and sparks on that occasion with a
roof nearly a hundred feet above
ready to topple. Almost as soon as
he reached the street with Lacey the
building collapsed. For this act
was awarded a gold medal by the
George Meade post, G. A. R., of which
he is a member. He carries a bullet
in his body received in the Civil war.
FOUR PERSONS ASPHYXIATED
Entire Family Found Dead in Their
Home at Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 26.—Four persons
were found dead in a residence at 168
HaBting street, having been asphyxi
ated by escaping gas. Morris Luke
man, a grocer, his wife, Elizabeth,
and their children, Annie, sixteen
years old, and William, fifteen years
old. were the victims. The overcoat
of Lukeman was found on the floor,
underneath a broken gas fixture, and
the police believe that the fixture was
broken by the man throwing the coat
over it before retiring. A Christmas
tree trimmed and decorated with
Christmas silts was In an adjoining
room.
DEATH BELIEVED TO
BE ACCIDENTAL
Frederick
A.
Burnham Expires
of Gas Poisoning,
New York, Dec. 24.—Frederick A.
Burnham, former president of the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance com
pany, who was indicted following the
Insurance investigation in connection
with his conduct while at the heu.d of
that company, was found dead in bed
at his home here from Inhaling illu
minating gas. The Burnham family
physician, who reached the home a
few moments after Mr. Burnham was
found, said the case undoubtedly was
one of accident. The gas had es
caped from a small stove which was
used to heat Mr. Burnham's sleeping
room.
The Mutual Reserve Life Insurance
company went into the hands of re
ceivers in February last. President
Burnham, his brother, George Bum
ham, Jr., the treasurer of the com
pany, and George I). Eldredge, the
actuary, were indicted on charges of
larceny and forgery, which grew out
of an alleged payment of the funds of
the company In satisfaction of per
sonal claims against some of its offi
cers. George Burnham, Jr., was tried
on the charge of larceny, convicted
and sentenced to serve two years in
prison, but the appellate division of
the supreme court set aside this ver
dict and Burnham was released. The
case against Frederick A. Burnham
had not come to trial and It was un
derstood that it would not be prose
cuted unless that against his brother
George was eventually won by the
prosecution.
A civil suit to collect some of the
funds alleged to have been paid in
settlement of personal claims had
lately been instituted against one of
the officers of the company.
