The first set OF bouts at the Valley

ming proved to be very interesting and
furnished the fight fans with enough fun
10 take their minds from the Cans Nelson
bout OF the evening before.
The main bout OF the evening was to
have gone IL rounds, but was ended in the
seventh with a knockout by Fitzgerald

The general opinion here is that eNlson
did not do anything else but foul all
through the AZ rounds OF the fight. Nolan
also said that his only ambition now ls
to get Cans into another match with Mel
son under the same conditions that gov
erened this one. and that he will bend
every effort TO arrange such a match.
OF course he will Who wouldn't Nolan
would be a bigger fool thanhe has ever
shown himself II he didn't bend every
effort toward arranging such a match"
But he will have 10 bend far enough TO
yield TO Cans demands now, therefore
such a match Is certain never 20 be made
unless Cans gives Nolan dose of his own
medicine and makes the Dane forfeit two
thirds Of the purse, win, lose or draw
But Joe won't do this. Even though he
is black in color the negro roved himself
to be a much winter sport than either
the Dane or. the latter's manager.
The concensus OF poninion. gathered
from the published reports is that Nell
son. for the first time I'm his life. faced
certain defeat by the knockout route; that
he, his manager. his seconds realized this
and that the foul was deliberately per-
petrated 10 save Nelson from being
knocked out.
Several men prominent sports in this
city even ventured the opinion that Mel
son, knowing that he had no chance to
win. was endeavoring all along 10 land a
foul and that only Can wonderful clever
ness and blocking ability saved him from
being severely injured earlier in the fight.

cate, Saturday, August 25. 1906
Now let it be remembered that these
uncalled for attacks are being kept up by
the Labor Advocate after the United
Labor League of Alabama had passed the
Ioliowing resolution: Resolved, That we,
the United Labor League of Alabama, do
not ask any candidate to pledge himself
to repeal the anti-boycott law, as We
have no objections to it's remaining on the
statute books of Alabama" The same
resolution was adopted by the Blrming-
ham Trades Council. These resolutions
emanated from the sober second thought
of the conservative leaders of organized
labor after they saw the wise and bene-
fetal results of the law. They no doubt
realized that the law was a wholesome
check on the spirit of bigotry and intol-
erance of such men as inspire the attack
on me in the Labor Advocate, who, if left
alone to pursue their methods of violent
and forcible interference with the liberty
and property rights of those who disa-
gree with them, would soon wreck their
great and powerful unions and bring them
into disrepute and popular condemnation.
Those who are always prating and charg-
ing others OF being enemies of organized
labor, are themselves the worst enemies
which organized labor have. Men of JEFF
ferson county, it is up to you. VIII you
come out to the polls on the 18th and
boldly and fearlessly do your duty as
did those who took part in enacttng this
very beneficial law. The test is not near
as severe on you as it was on us in
Montgomery. 1t is not the personnel OF
the candidate; it is the issue. I shall con-
hdently and willingly await your decision.
