DEBS WILL GO TO JAIL.
Convicted Labor Leaders Claim to Hav
No Confidence in Courts.

By the united PreSs.
Chicago, Dec. 1S.-President Debs
and his associates, at a long conference
held this morning, decided to go to Jail
and serve the terms imposed upon
them by Judge Woods without making
an effort to secure a habeas corpus or
an appeal.
This action was taken directly
against the advice of their lawyers,
who even now insist that they will try
to get the appeal. Debs gave as his
reason for this sudden change Of front
that he and the other directors have no
confidence in the courts, and believe
they would not get fair show there.
All the prisoners will go to the Cook
county jail, Notwithstanding the fact
that Judge Woods ruled that they could
have their choice of jails They think
time will pass more quickly when they
are together, to say nothing Of the i'm
mense advantage 1t will give them in
transacting the business of the union.
