Gompera Makes Statement. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, In a statement tonight, charged the deci sion upheld as "far-reaching and un warrantable." "To hold that the United L!ine work ers of America is an unlawful organ ization or that it i a conspiracy is to hark back to the days when em ployers were monarchs of all they sur veyed and their employes were serv ants or slaves.

This description of the situation Is given: "The fierce fighting of the last few days has subsided into a period of com parative calm. The superhuman re sistance of the Italians prevented the Austro-Germans from attaining the strategical advantages of their object ive, although they succeeded In obtain ing gains of purely tactical character. The failure of the enemy attacks is in dicated by the inactivity on the entire front for three consecutive days. The invaders have desisted from attacking positions in the direction of the Brenta Canal on account of the complete ex haustion of the forces engaged. "General Conrad von Hoetzendorff has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of his best soldiers in successive as saults preceded by unprecedented artil lery preparation, and today the position of the Austro-Germans, while not im proved by the progress made, is in fact more unfavorable to them than at the beginning of the offensive because of the difficulties of revictualing the troops. The heavy snowfalls of the season will also aggravate the hard ships of the enemy and threaten the lines of communication. "It may be stated, therefore, that the central powers have failed to obtain their general objective. namely, to break through our lines into the plains of Italy, where they expected to find comfortable shelter during the Winter months." ROME, Dec. 10. Observation trenches svhich had been lost by the Italians east of Caposile, on the Lower Piave line, have been retaken by the Italian forces, the War Office announced today. BERLIN.

"The" Supreme Court holds," the ma jority opinion held, "that the plaintiff was acting within Its lawful rights in employing its men upon the terms that they should not be members of the United Mine Workers; that having es tablished this working agreement be tween 'it and its employes with the free assent of the latter, the plaintiff is entitled to be protected in the en joyment of the resulting status as in any other legal right; that the fact that the employment was terminable by either party at any time made no differ ence, since the right of the employes to strike or to leave the work gave no rignt to defendants to Instigate i strike; that plaintiff was and in en titled to the good will of its employes jjictmeiy as a mercnant is entitled to the good will of his customers, although they are under no obligation to deal with him; that the value of the rela tion lies in the reasonable probability that by properly .treating its employes and paying them fair wages and avoid ing reasonable grounds of complaint plaintiff will be able to retain them in its employ and to fill vacancies oc curring from time to time by the em ployment of other men on the same terms, and that defendants could not be permitted to interfere with these rights without some Just cause or excuse. Union's Rights Conceded. "By way of justification or excuse, Defendants set up the right of working nen to form unions and to enlarge their membership by inviting other working men to Join. The opinion of the court Ireely concedes this right, provided the objects of the union be proper and le gitimate, which is assumed to be true, in a general sense, with respect to the United Mine Workers of America. "But the court holds that it is erro neous to assume that this Hrh . absolute that it may be exercised under any circumstances and without any Qualification, that, in truth, like other rights that exist in civilized society, it nust always be exercised with reason able r jard for the conflicting rights of others, according to the fundamental maxim, 'So use your own property as wi. lu injure me rignts of another. xience, assuming that the defen dants were exercising the right to in vite men .to Join their union, neverthe less, since they had notice that plain tiffs mtne was run snn.nninn' that none of the men had a right to remain at work there after joining the union, and that the observance of this agree ment was of much importance and value, both to plaintiff and to its men who had voluntarily mario th ment and desired to continue working v ' 1 uctenaanis were under "" exercise care to refrain from unnecessarily injuring plaintiff; yet they deliberately and adviaoriiv that method of enlarging the union membership which would inflict in jury upon plaintiff and its loyal em ployes, by persuading man after man aminer of Suffolk County, followed I H tn uoouciiuu " ....... - i shed their blood for the benefit or tne gave It as his opinion mat jvirs. xs-eyes Rf(1 nrt -u.-j imn-rlallatu did not commit suicide, ljr. jviagrain "General Kaledines, on tne Don, and said that the bullet would so have I Dutof f, in the Ural Province, have damaged her brain that it would have J ,,,. fh rvnit Th rvnati- destroyed all power to Pull the trigger I tutional Democratic party is providing for he second eh'ot.
