Supreme Court sets aside labor leaders' prison sentences
The U S Supreme Court reversed the DC Court of Appeals in the Buck's Stove case, dismissing the contempt sentences for Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, and Frank Morison, ruling offenses were civil contempt punishable only by fines. The ruling cites the boycott and publication of the unfair list as non criminal. The decision marks a major labor victory and potential turning point in unionism.
