peal for life Imprisonment by
the Prison Commission today.
The two boys are now in Mus
cogee county jail at Columbus.
where they have been confined
since the committing of the
crime.
Jones and Gervis, both unedu-
Gated boys, were under the influ-
ence of moonshine liquor when the
crime was committed. They were
walking along the road when I'm
derwood, a commercial traveller,
stopped his car and took them in
to give them Gift" on their way.
It was about night when Under
wood picked the two boys up and
after riding with him only short
distance they killed him, stole the
automobile and left their body of
their victim alongside the road.
Since being convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged the boys have

their lives may be spared that they
may spend their remaining years as

fined in Georgia prisons.
The action of the prison COM
mission leaves the fate of the boys
wholly in the hands of Governor
Walker, who may or may not COM

onment.

Chicago City Council.
Oscar Nelson employed by the labor unions who have
had to fight the nunctons issued by Judge Denis Sullivan
and other judicial lackeys of the Chamber of Commerce
He sometimes appears in and splits legal hairs with
the bosses attorneys over the injunctions.
But nobody has Oscar Nelson the picket lines
since this dress makers strike started We have been told
that he has refused to address strike meetings fearing that
by doing he would get in bad with the So far
we know he has NOT raised his voice in the city council in
protest against the brutates of Mayor Devers police
force.
Oscar Nelson neither things but he raves
in the Chicago Federation of Labor when radical intro
duces motion calling for action the picket lines instead
of the futile policy of paying much per head to lawyers
for every striker hailed into
Surely real labor leader would be guilty of such
criminal negligence If Oscar Nelson thought of the
ests of the workers. he supposed represent Of
his selfish advancement via the capitalist route he
would be the picket line every day this strike
started He would raise his voice loud that every worker
in Chicago would understand it clarion to action
He would bring the question of police brutality
Hoor of the city council and he would insist that commit
tee be appointed bring the facts concerning the uggngs
of the police to the attention of the workngcass of this
city.
Labor, city aldermanOscar Nelson has sufficient titles to
give him prestige. He is public Why is he dumb?
Is it because he only against the Grove faction of the
republican party and is using the Dever democrats for
factonal political reasons?
We remember when John Kennedy-now secretary of
the Washington FarmerLabor Party and prominent leader
in the movement to launch national farmerabor party
on June Twas in the city council He surely things
hot for the Bosses Kennedy the union lead
and asked them what they him to do for the
workers in the city council.
But, of course, John Kennedy was cIass-consious
fighter whose heart true to the great for the
freedom OF all workers from wage slavery Nelson is lust
plain capitalist hack politician who hopes to rise up in
the world by making of himself door for the bosses
to walk He has raised his in the city council
He has not appeared the picket lines He has urged
that THE Committee of Fifteen of which he is member
take action. He did not attend the second meeting
of the committee.

urge them to keep their him. We urge them to

Russian Bazaar
DrGIUS Big CrOWd
To Ashland Hall

The second night of the bazaar of
the Jewish Workers Relief Commit
tee, at the Ashland Auditorium,
showed its popularity. A large crowd
collected here to buy, dance and be
entertained by concert, showing
of historical living pictures and a
comedy by B. Fishbein.
The great attraction, however.
proved to be the Russian exhibition
OF the educational and relief activi-
ties carried on in Russia for the bene-
fit Of Jewish orphans, victims fof
pogroms. Great interest was shown
in the pictures showing the life of
Russia's destitute. Judging from the
exhibition, the relief work is car
ried on in three main divisions: ny
Immediate relief in the way of food
and shelter. (2) Placing and train
ing Of the young Jewish workers in
agriculture, trade and vocation. (3)
General education of all children
hitherto deprived of such benefits.
The exhibition is set aside in a special
room at the bazaar and the display
Of pictures of children in their
classes, in play and vocational train
ing, drew hundreds of spectators.
This afternoon at 1 o'clock there
viii be a masque for children. In the
evening a masque for everybody.
Sunday another concert will be held.
Admission is only 25 cents. All net
receipts go to the relief of the Jewish
