work for the millions who do not want to be idle. The Jews themselves would benefit as much as any any body from a world in which every body could work. The Jews are in dustrious. In the long past they have been driven from pillar to post so much that they have given up agri- culture and invested their wealth in things that, if necessary could be moved upon short notice, but there Is no reason why millions of Jews should not again become agricultur- alists along with the rest of us.
 With tractors and other farm ma chinery, farm work can be done in 20 days a year and the rest of the time can be spent in factories earn ing more money. All we need to make such things possible is an hon. est financial system and I hope the Jews will help bring it about. As said, I believe they are the only peo- pie with enough vision to see what should be done. I certainly do not expect our cheap politicians to see the task or help perform it.''

LEADING ractor in the commercial aad
business life OF Alexandria and VITA

Within the course of the last north
this plant has added TO its already
extensive equipment. facilities for the
building of new ears of the refrig-
orator type.
Since the yards were obtained by
the present company from the Fruit
Growers Express, Inc, in May, 1920,
the trackage and capacity of the yards
has been more than trippled. For
many years the Arrnour Company
maintained repair yards on this site
md when they deemed it no longer
necessary to keep this yard the Fruit
Growers EXPRESS, Inc. took it over.
In 1920 the Fruit Growers Express,
Inc. was merged into the Fruit Grow

CHICAGO LABOR
LEADERS Held
FOR MURDER
Eight Indicted by Chicago
Jury For Staying OF
Policemen
WRITS ARE REFUSED
Two Judges Denounce Them From
Bench-POlice Chief Points to WIS
dom of Raids

Chicago. May 12.-Eight union Ia
Dor leaders were named in true bills
voted at special session OF the grand
Jury last night in connection with the
Staying of Torrance Lyons, an acting
police lieutenant, Tuesday, according
to George F.. German, assistant state
attorney.
Among those named in the true
bills, according to Mr.. German, were
Ferd Nader. president OF the Build
ing Trades Council; dig Tim Muir
ply, of the Gas Workers Union, and
Cornelius "Con" Shea, who directed
the teamsters' strike in 1904. All are
now in the custody of the police, hav-
ing been captured in a raid on union
Headquarters Wednesday.
The Staying of Lyons followed Sc
lies of bombings blamed by the police
on labor welfare in the building in
dustry. Another policeman was slain
and third injured in running pis-
tol battle with four bombers in an
automobile.
The killings were followed by police
raids on union headquarters and sa-
looms known as centers of gunmen
and bombers. More than $50 per-
sons were taken into custody, of
whom &c sought their release yester-
dav on writs of habeas corpus.
Describing crime conditions in
Chicago as "a reign OF terror and
"akin to treason in time Of war,
Judges Kickham Scanlan and Joseph
David refused to release any of the
prisoners.
I'VE are in state Of anarchy that
approaches in intensity the condition
that existed during the Haymarket
riots" declared Judge Scanlan, in
criminal court.
"The whole function of government
seems to be broken down." said Judge
Davis in superior court. "If these
men were rart Of the conspiracy to
take human life. they arc rs guilty as
those who fired the gms and throw
the bombs, They should be convicted
and HANGED"

CARPENTER
BEATS Lewis
FIRST round
Wins By Knockout After
Two Minutes and Fif-
teen Seconds
VICTOR is KISSED
Claim Of Foul Was Made by English
mans Supporters, As HIS Hands
Were Down.

London, May 12.-Georges Carpen-
tier last night Knocked out Ied Ma
Lewis in the first round of what was
TO have been a 20-roCnd bout FOR tae
jghtheavyweight championship OF the
world held by Carpenter.
The end came when Carpenter, IN
breaking from clineh, drove sharp
right TO the point of Lewis jaw. Ine2
EEglishman toppled over backward
and Law motionless on the floor until
the referee counted 10. Then Carpen-
tier picked up his fallen foe and aided
in carrying him to his corner
The SPECTATORS were slow to realize
what had occurred, but when finally
they comprehended that the oattle
was over and Lewis was defeated
there arose a storm Of booS ana crleS
OF foul" from all parts Of the vast
opditorium, which drowned out the
comparatively little applause Carpen-
tier was receiving from his particanS
From the sound of the gong to the
ce1 of the referees count minutes
and - seconds interviewed; CarPeAuer
weighed IT'S pounds, the light-heavy-
weight limit, while Lewis tipped the
scales at 157 pounds with his clothes
on when the fighters weighed IN TINS
afternoon.
When the gong sent the fighters to
the center Of the ring Lewis took the
aggressive. He sent across a rlgnt JAP
to the neck, followed by left to the
BODY. There was a clinch and the re
feree. Joe Palmer, called upon the
men TO break. He then jumped in be-
tween them and pulled them apart.
Immediately the fighters again went
into a clinch, jabbing fiercely. Pal
mer forcibly pried them apart again
and then administered a caution 10
both.
Lewis continued the aggresSor. He
cot i'm two lefts on Carpenter and the
crowd madly cheered him. Carpenter
closed i'm, and held on. Again the re-
feree reproved him. Lewis forced the
Frenchman into corner, and there
was q rapid exchange OF body oiowS'
in which Lewis had the advantage.
Carpenter then forced his opponent
off the ropes and into the center of the
ring. The Frenchman missed with a
right and Lewis sent his right to Car
pentier's neck. Another clirch fol
lowed, and the referee stepped in and
separated the men. Carpenter upper
cut Lewis and also sent in hook blow
as they were coming out of the clinch.
Lewis Glanced appealiagly at Palmer.
Then, following the Frenchman'S tao
tict. Lewis jo6bed as they separated.
1t appeared Us if Palmer again was
going to warn the fighters as they
broke away. Lewis had drOODcd his
guard and Carpenter feinted with his
lcfe and simultaneously flashed the
right from his shoulder TO Lewis's
Jaw. To those sitting at the ringside,
it seemed the merest tap, but it had
sufficient force behind it to send Lewis
backward upon the canvas for the
count Of 10 for the fifth knockout
victory for Carpenter in less than q
round
