Neutrality Disputed Tag

The statement that the Edmunds Act was applied in "apparently ex-post facto" manner is contrary to the ruling of the court. The assertion was a claim that it was ex-post facto, that claim was found not to have merit. A more appropriate, neutral approach would be to report that the claim was made but denied, rather than to couch it in terms that give rise to the inference that those convicted of violating the law were being persecuted.

With no comments after 8 days, I changed the statement to a neutral POV and removed the tag. (GregJackP (talk) 02:54, 27 March 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Please Add David John

Please add David John as one of the people convicted under the Edmunds Act 1887. The Wikipedia page for David John discusses this conviction near the end of the article. This would be a good addition as it is clearly discussed on his Wiki Page Wiki page. Thank you. Exiepuppy (talk) 20:26, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Cheryl Uhl 29 Jan 2017[reply]

these are the same thing. The Edmunds tucker act listen on Wikipedia

The Edmunds tucker act listen on Wikipedia I have pasted the the URL to below are far more accurate and the title "Edmunds Tucker Act is in far better keeping with scholarly work where the co-authors or co-sponsors of each house have their names affixed.
