TACOMA, Dec. 22.—The Central Labor Council, of Tacoma, is today on record against the attempt of courts to curtail free speech by sending newspaper editors to jail who condemn the courts’ action in issuing ions at the behest of corporations at the expense of the people. Resolutions were adopted denouncing Judge Gilliam, of Seattle, for sending the editors of The Seattle to jail. Rev. W. C. Wheeler, fraternal delegate to the council, suggested later that the council might bring itself contempt of court by adopting the resolutions while the case was on appeal to a higher court, but the neil stood pat and refused to reconsider or rescind the stein cra it had passed. “= Pays R.R.
