Washington, March 1%.—The court appeals of the District of Columbia a8 modified and affirmed the opinion b! Justice Gould of the supreme court T the District enjoining the American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers Rpd other defendants from publishing the “we don’t patronize” list the e of the Buck Stove and Range mpany of St. Louis. The opinion, which was handed by Justice Robb, holds that the ! e of Judge Gould should be modi- Bed to the extent that there should be ted from the decree the re- fon of thé labor organization and other defendants from ‘“mention- , writing or referring” to the busi- 8 of the Buck Stove and Range y Or its oustomers. Otherwise dgoree is affirmed. Phe court helds that the ‘“combina- # and boycott in furtherance apd the publication in the “we 't patronize” list in aid of the boy- s ftlegal. court held thet the defendants not be restrained from all pub- referring to the Buck Stove @ company, but only to such ar¢ made in furtherance of an il- al boycott. L Upholds Freedom of Press. In:e partial dissenting opinion Chief ustice Shepard toak a strong hand in wolm the freedom of the press. s&ys that even assuming that the tion of the complainant’s name the “we don't patronize” column the Federationist “was a step in formation of a conspiracy to co- ¢ independent dealers into refusing have further business relations With THat domipany I €annot agree that the publication can be restrained for that reason. Regardless of ite character or purpose the publication is protected from restraint, in my opinion, by the first amendment of the Constitution, which forbids: any law abridging the freedom of the preus.” The chief justice held that “the only remedy for libelous or otherwise ma- Hcious, wrongful and injurious pub- lications is by civil action for dam- ages and oriminal prosecution. There is no power to restrain the p\lbllcn tion.” The decision does not settle the appesl in the contempt proceedings in which Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison were given jail sentences. This oase will be heard later by the appellate gourt. The labor leaders clalm, so it is sald, that if the reasoning adopted by the court of appeals is followed in the decision of the contempt proceedings they will be able to upset the findings of Justice Wright and prevent serving torms of imprisonment. DECLARES OLD RULES ~ WILL BE ADOPTED Republican Whip Says Insur- gents Lack Votes. Washington, March 1/j—Former Representative Watson of Indiaha, who was Republican whip in the house, after a lengthy conference with Presiderit Taft, estimated the strength of the Republican “insurgents” in the house at twenty-two. “Since the president entered the fight,” sald Mr. Watson, “the fmsur- gents have been dropping off one by hard fight to adopt the ‘old rules and preserve the organization, but we be- leve that we have the matter In hand and that when Mr. Dalzell on Monday moves the adoption of the rules of the house of the last conress there will be votés enough to 'make his mo- tlon prevail.” . Hdinburgh, March 12.—Lord Guth- re, who granted a divorce to John Alexander Stirling from his wife, who was an American actress, has allowad Mrs. Stirling the expenses of her ac- tion. He has decided alto that Lord Northland, named by Mr. Stirling as co-respondent, should pay the cost of the husband’s action. Mrs. Stirling is to have reasonable access to her child, who is placed in the custody of the husband.

Some -Republican members declare that the taxing of the breakfast table would make it impossible for the Re- publicans to carry. their districts at the next election. The National Coffee and Tea association wrote to the com- mittee that a tax on coffee or tea would be unjust to the consumer, det- rimental to trade, irritating to the masses and, finally, will fall to pro- duco any material revenue to the government for nearly two years to coms. “A duty of & cents upon coffee would mean an immediate profit of at loast $6.50 per bag upon every bag in the TUnited States to the owners thereof,” is the: claim made in the brief. “There heing nearly 4,000,000 bags at present held here by individ- uals, corporations and Wall street speculative interests such a - duty would mean 2 profit of $26,000,000 to the owners and holders thereof:- But it would not mean §1 paid into the Tnited States treasury.” Paper and pilp manufacturers have expressed great alarm over the report that the committee would include in the bill the changes in the pulp paper schedule ‘recommended in the report of the Mann committee, which inves- tigated the pulp and paper questions. The American Paper and Pulp asso- | clation, through its president, Arthur C. Hastings, has submitted a lengthy brief urging certain changes in the recommendations made by the select committee.

Apparent That Both Sides Are Anx- lous to . Reach: -an, Early Decision and Thus Avald a Cessation of Work—Demands of the Mine Work- ers as Drafted at the Scranton Con: . vention Presented. Philadelphia, March 12—With a keen desire to reach an early decision and thus avoid a 'suspension of work the representatives of the United Mine ‘Workers of America and the presi- dents of the coal carrying rallroads met in the Reading Terminal building here and ' began negotiatfons for a new agreement. to go into effect at the expiration of the present working arrangement on March 31. It is safe to say that not gince the present or- ganization of miners became active in the anthracite regions of Pennsyl- vania have the workmen and the em- ployers entered upon negotlations with a better feeling and understanding and with better prospects of reaching a settlement without resorting to rad- 1cal action. The demands of the anthracite min- ers, as drafted at a convention in Scranton last. October and approved by the national convention at Indian- apolis in January, are as follows: First—That an agreement shall be negotiated between the -representa- tives of the miners and the operators of the anthracite reglon and all dis- putes arising under the. contract shall -be adjusted as provided for in the sald agreement. Second—We demand the complete recognition of the United Mire Work- ers of America as a party to,negotia- tlons In wage contracts and the Unit- od Mine Workers ef America shall be recognized in our right to provide any method we may adopt for the collec- tlon of revenue for the organization. Eight-Hour Day; Same Pay. Third—That we demand an eight- hour day, with no reduction in wages. Fourth—That all coal shall be mined. and paid for by the ton of’ 2,000 peunds. Fifth=That we deraend a definite and. more uniform scale of wages and prives for all classes of laber.at all collieries in the anthracite region and that all employes paid $1.50 or.less: per day shall receive a 10 per cent advance and all employes paid more than $1.80 and less than $2 per day shall receive a 5 per ¢ent advance. Sixth—That the system' whereby a contract miner has more than one job or employs more than two laborers be' abolished. " Beventh—That the employers. be.re- quired to issue uniform pay_state- sistent . WAGE SCALE company, the name of the'employe, the caolllery where employed, the amount of wages and the cimss of performed. S ighth—That the contract shall be madeé for a period of one year. ‘When the above demands became known to the operators geveral months ago they made public a statement thiough their New York agents that the demands would not be granted and strongly intimated that they would ask:that the present three years' agreement be renewed. The present agreement is the same ag the worklng arrangement madé b the anthracfte coal strike commission in 1908. LEASE TO SO0 APPROVED Meeting of Wisconsin Central Direc- tors at New Vork.
