London, Jan. 27.—The afternoon pa pers are silent on the subject of the American-Canadian reciprocity agree ment, apparently waiting to hear from the political leaders. The tariff reformers are inclined to lf>ok askance at the agreement as pos sibly harmful to imperial preference but they do not wish to antagonize the Canadian government by criticism. They would have been better suited if the agreement had been postponed until after the imperial conference in May, from which they aticipate con siderable grist for their tariff reform mill.

By Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 27.—One of the ost spectacular legal battles ever waged between capital and organized labor reached its final stages today w'hen the supreme court of the United States took up for oral argument the famous litigation by the Bucks Stove and Range Company, of St. Louis, Mo., against the American Federation of Labor. The contending forces started their fight to determine the legality of the “boycott.” That w'as in the sni>reme court of the District of Columbia. But today, when the contest was re newed before the supreme court of^ the United States, the main issue had| been crowded out of the limelight by an incidental one. Now, the burning issue is whether the principal officials of the American Federation of Labor are to go to jail on charges of con tempt of court. Because they failed to obey the in- jf.nction issued by the district su preme court in the original case, Sam uel Gomi)ers. president of the federa tion. is under sentence to serve 12 months in jail; John Mitchell, vice- president of the federation, to serve nine months; and Frank Morrison, its pecretary to serve six months. Fighting for the American Feder ation of Labor and its officials are Alton B. Parker, foi'mer democratic presidential candidate; Jackson H. Ralston, Frederick L. Siddons, Will iam E. Richardson and John T. Wal ker. Opposed to them as the repre sentative of the Bucks Stove and Range Company are Daniel Daven port and J. J. Darlington. The Bucks Stove and Range Com pany was selling stoves and ranges throughout the United States at the iime the suit began. It was doing a business of $1,250,000 a year. It complained that the American Fed eration of Labor and its members were conspiring to ruin its business by means of a boycott. The court was asked to grant an injunction against a continuation of the effo'rts and par ticularly to restrain the Americari Fed eration of Labor from printing in its official organ, the American Federa- tionist. 'he name of the company as being on the “We-ciont-patronize-list. The opposition of the federation was alleged to be due to a strike of metal polishe/s in the suops of the com- The supreme court of the District* of Columbia issued the injunction. The court of appeals of the district modified the decree in several ways; the principal modification being based on the holding that the injunction against '.he puolication of the com- lanv’s name on the “We-do-not-pa- troiiize-list” should be effective only when the publication was “m further- f.nce of such a boycott.” In so doing, it is contended that the low’er court made a distinction oetweon a boycott of the company by the members of Qj-ojgiii/gd labor and a boj'cott of the members against the company’s cus tomers who refused to stop dealing with the company. It is urged that oiily ihe second kind of bojcott was held illegal. , . • Both sides appealed fron this decis ion. The manufacturing company be lieved that it did not go far enough, and the defendants took the position that it went too far The attorneys for the American Federation of Labor contend that each one of the defendants had a right to refuse to patronize those who dealt with the stove and range company lind, therefore, they could combine in refusing. It is said that what was lawful for one was lawful when done in combination. This position is at tacked as being opposed to the liber ty to dispose of one’s goods and as being contrary to oeclsions of all the states of the union. The lower court was divided on the point. For the American ^,ed7»’ailon of Labor, it is argu.^d, ‘issioivi^rohibit Ihe publicatiOTi (f {de manner noniije-list’'' the I i^iice vith constitutional rig./? thati he fieedom of the press. On ' Lnt^ oth^r hand it is contended that even a con stitutional right may be so used as to be made a part of a conspiracy pro hibited by law. Still further, it is argued that busi ness is not property nor a property right, but rather a mere abstraction incapable of judicial protection. This proposition, is opposed also. Before the injunction of the origi nal court had been passed on by the higher court, tlie Bucks Stove and Rimge Company complained that President Gompers, Vice-President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison had violated its provisions by comment ing publicly on the effect of the in junction. They were brought into court and held to be in contempt. Now it is argued in their behalf that the low'er court had not issued a valid Injunction and that they could not be punished therefore, for disobeying it; that it was not a proper injunction is show-n, it is argued, by the fact that the higher court modified it. THREE CONVICTS ESCAPE FROM SINCSINC PROTECT T y Associated Press, Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 27.—All night 6e&re^ for the three ccRvicts ■who es- c-aped from Sing Sing prison last night and w'ere believed to have made their way across the ice of the Hudson river, failed to reveal a trace of the fugitives.
