BOYCOTT CASE IN
COLUMBIA COURT
Stove Firm Testing Right of
Labor Organization to
Attack Patronage.
ANTI-TRUST LAW INVOKED
Suit Involving . JLcgaUty of "We
Don't Patronize" List in Federa
tlonlst AV111 Have Far-Reaching
Effect on the Unions.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. The suit of
tns Buck Stove & Range Company, of
6t. Louis, brought to enjoin the Ameri
can Federation of Labor from boycotting
the company's products, was given a
hearing before Justice Gould today in
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia. The case attracted wide
spread attention because of the effect
on organized labor and possible far-reaching
"developments of a political nature. It
Is generally understood that whatever
the decision of the District Court is, the
case will be carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
"Unfair" List Questioned.
The bill of equity in the case cites the
methods by which It is represented the
entire forces of the American Federation
are concentrated on an especial boycott.
In this case, while the application of
the Sherman law is only Incidentally in
volved, it does involve the question
whether the "unfair" and "we-don't-pat-roniiie"
lists, as published In the Fed
erationlst, constitutes an unlawful boy
cott. - '
The plaintiffs today presented lengthy
arguments as to the boycott operation
upon which they asked a preliminary in
junction should be granted. Counsel for
the defense objected to these affidavits.
The defense contended that the proceed
ings was an attempt to invoke the Sher
man anti-trust law without warrant
thereof, and to bring into the Jurisdic
tion of the courts of the District of Co
lumbia people from all parts of the coun
try; also that the subject was not appro
priate for an injunction. They argued
that the Federatlonlst simply published
a "we don't patronize" list, and any at
tempt to abridge the right to publish Was
a violation of the freedom of speech and
press. Arguments occupied most of the
day.
Connecticut Case Similar.
A somewhat similar case is pending be
fore the higher court, being what Is
known as the "Connecticut case," a suit
brought by a hat manufacturer of Con
necticut against the United Hatters' As
sociation, which is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor for treble
damages sustained In the destruction of
the manufacturer's Interstate trade by a
boycott which, he asserted, the hatters'
organization and , the Federation main
tained upon his products as far west as
California.
The hat manufacturer represented that
before the boycott this Interstate trade
was about $400,000. and that the boycott
Injured his trade J80.000 yearly. The case
Is now before the Federal Supreme Court
for argument December 2, and the de
cision Is expected to. determine whether
the Sherman anti-trust, law, with its civil
remedies applies to boycotts Imposed by
the Federation through its official organ,
the Federatlonlst.
Agree to Expedite Decision.
The case today was on the question of a
rule to show cause why an injunction
should not be issued restraining the pub
lication of the unfair list which Is printed
In the monthly Issue of the Federatlon
lst, the organ of the Federation. It is re
ported that an agreement will be an
nounced between counsel to make the
present proceeding a final hearing of the
case instead of merely a rule to show
cause, the agreement permitting, of
course, an appeal to the higher courts.
Counsel for the Federation are Jackson
H. Ralston and F. L. Siddons, of this
city, and X- C. Spelling, of New York, and
the attorneys for the plaintiff company
are ex-United States Assistant Attorney
General James M. Beck, of Philadelphia;
Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport, Conn.,
and J. J. Darlington, of this city.
Mr. Davenport's argument occupied
most of the session. He recited the posi
tion of the plaintiff company outlined in
the briefs, contending that the publication
was a boycott In restraint of trade, a
violation of the law, which had done
great damage to the plaintiff's trade. He
took up In succession the answers of tho
defense to the various allegations in the
cape and presented affidavits Intended to
sustain the charges in the suit.
Case for the Federation.
Mr. Ralston, who was the first to
speak for the Federation, presented an
amended answer to the rule, which as
amended embodies affidavits by Presi
dent Oompers of the Federation and
others, in refutation of certain of the
allegations. The affidavits deny that
any steps taken at the Federation's
convention In Minneapolis last Novem
ber were for the purpose of carrying
out any conspiracy. They admit that
the name of the Buck Company and
Its products were printed In the "We
Don't Patronize" list published In the
Issues of the Federatlonlst, circulated
among affiliated organizations, and
admit that a resolution was introduced
In the Minneapolis convention to In
dorse a boycott of the Buck Company,
which was referred to the executive
commititee.
The defense charges that the Buck
Company had in fact boycotted and
blacklisted every member of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Foundry Em
ployes, and the Federation learned that
the position of President J. W. Van
Cleave, of the plaintiff company, was
such that further appeal to him was
useless and the Federation, satisfying
Itself of the truth, placed the company
on the unfair list.
What Is Meant by "Unfair."
Mr. Gompers in his affidavit ex
plained that the expression "unfair"
was well understood to mean Inequit
able and unjust in treatment of labor
and does not Intend to Impute any Un
fairness in general conduct or dishon
esty. Mr. Ralston discussed some of
the points, contending for the right
of the Federation to publish "unfair"
lists. He will resume his argument
tomorrow.
MANY ADDRESS FEDERATION

ident and Cabinet.
NORFOLK, Va., Nov.' 14. Addresses
hy D. J. Shackloton and J. Hodge, of

ment; W. R. Trotter, of Winnipeg, Man
itoba. Canadian fraternal delegate, and
T. V. Powderly, representing the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, the intro
duction and the reference of a large num
ber of other resolutions, formed the lead
ing features of the day's session of the
convention of the American Federation
of Labor.
A notable feature was (he address of
Mr. Powderly, who declared he hoped
the day would come In his own time when
the President of the United States and
his Cabinet of fleers would not consider
it beneath their dignity to visit and ad
dress the American Federation of Labor.
Resolutions were introduced calling up
on Congress, In the event of an "Indus
trial crisis" following the "financial
panic," to find "ways and means to
ameliorate and mitigate the crisis by
Issuing money without interest to states,
counties and cities for the purposes of
building highways, schools, bridges and
public utilities, provided, however, that
such work be done at union wages, under
the eight-hour day," the money proposed
to be loaned to be returned in easy in
stallments. ,
Other resolutions Introduced today were
as- follows:
Calling on all members of organized
labor to absolutely hold aloof from all
military organizations until the United
States provides a military system such
as that of Switzerland: providing for a
woman organizer of the women wage
workers of the United States; indorsing
the Spright Bill in Congress for the relief
of seamen in foreign-going vessels: urg
ing Congress to act favorably on any
legislation bearing on the Increase of pay
of postofnee clerks; levying a general as
sessment of 1 cent a month 'for the aid
of the labor unions In Los Angeles; call
ing for a minimum of J9 a week for all
ifemale retail clerks, and giving this

all Government vessels at Navy-yards,
and a committee to have this in charge
with a salary of $24 a week each, and
necessary expenses, hotel expenses not
to exceed $1.50 per day. .
The Federation referred to its commit
tee on resolutions for early action and
report lengthy resoultions by the Porto
Rican delegates providing for a commit
tee, with the Porto Rican delegation In
cluded, to bo headed by President Gom
pers, which shall within two weeks from
the adjournment of the present convene
tion visit President Roosevelt and ask
for relief for the Porto Rlcans by grant
ing them full American citizenship,
doubling the present school fund and
legislating many labor reforms.
MEANS BANKING REFORM
Appointment of Hepburn Commis
sion Sets Precedent for States.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14. In New York
financial circles the view was freely ex
pressed today that the action of Gov
ernor Hughes in appointing a commission
to recommend changes in the New York
banking laws may result in a similar
movement extending to other sections of
the country and in the enactment of
legislation which will place stute banks
on a basis and under supervision more
closely akin to that of the National
banks. A. B. Hepburn, president of the
Chase National Bank and ex-Controller
of the Currency, who, it is generally con
ceded will be chairman of the Hughes
commission. Is a strong advocate of the
National banking system. It Is believed
that Mr. Hepburn will personally rec
ommend to his associates that the State
law should be made to conform as nearly
as possible to the Federal statutes.
The report of the commission is looked
forward to by bankers generally as likely
to express at once the highest and most
conservative opinion as .to reforms in
the way of State financial legislation.
Many bankers are Inclined to believe that
the report of the commission made to
Mr. Hughes may form the framework of
legislation in many other states. The
recommendations of the commission are
therefore looked upon as being National
as well as local in character.
Mr. Hepburn said today that the com
mission will get to work inside of one
week. Trust companies, it is understood,
will come In for a large share of con
sideration, and it is believed that the
suggestion will be made that the laws
governing them should conform to those
relating to the regular banks.
All of the members of the commission
today signified their acceptance.

GOULD NAMES CODY
Declares Wife's Relations
V With Him Irregular
WITNESS IS IN LONDON
Counsel for Mrs. Gould Objects to
Introduction of Miss Mer's Story
Unless She Is Brought
Before the . Jury.
t '
NEW YORK, Nov. 14. An affidavit set
ting forth on Information and belief that
prior to her marriage to him Katherlne
Clemmons' relations with William F.
Cody ("Buffalo Bill") were criminal and
meretricious was filed In the Supreme
Court today by Howard Gould.
The affidavit declares that Miss Clem
mons told Mr. Gould that her relations
with -Cody were purely of a business
nature, but that he has since learned that
this was not true. Through Katherlne
Mer, of London. England, Gould says he
expects to show that his wife confessed
to Miss Mer the true nature of her rela
tions with Cody.
The case came up before Justice
O'Gorman today on the application of
Clarence Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould,
to have vacated an order which Mr. Gould
recently got from Justice Fitzgerald for
tho examination of Miss Mer as a wit
ness in Mr. Gould's suit for a separation.
Mr. Shearn argued that Gould's affidavit
does not divulge the nature of the alleged
relations between his wife and Cody.
"We desire to have this order vacated,"
continued Mr. Shearn, "for the reason
that in an action such as this, where the
wife lived with the defendant for eight
years and has brought action for separa
tion, she should be directly confronted
with the woman who made the statement
that 12 years ago, prior to their marriage,
the plaintiff had maintained meretricious
relations with some other man. She should
confront the jury and be crosa-examlned."
