CALL TO WILSON
FOR QUICK ACTION
Further Imprisonment of Political Of
fenders Contrary to Traditions of
Freedom, Say the Labor
Leaders.
Montreal, June 15.—The American
Federation of Labor in annual conven
tion here today called upon President
Wilson and Attorney General Palmer
of the United States, to “secure am
nesty for all political prisoners.”
In a resolution the convention de
clared that the “further prosecution
and imprisonment in the United States
of political offenders is contrary to
the democratic idealism and the tradi
tions of freedom to which our country
is committed.
Lucy Robins, of the central labor
body of New York, in an address de
clared that 1,700 persons were being
held in prisons in the United States
for alleged war-time offenses and be
cause of their “political beliefs.”
The federation also pledged its sup
port to Senator France’s joint reso
lution for amnesty of “political espi
onage law.”
The convention also instructed the
executive council to continue its efforts
to obtain from the governor of Cali
fornia a full pardon for Thomas J.
Mooney and William T. Billings.
Movement to call upon the United
States to recognize the soviet govern
ment or lift the blockade in the con
vention after a heated debate, James
A. Duncan, of the Seattle Central La
bor council, led the fight in behalf of
the soviet, with the aid of representa
tives of the Ladies’ Garment Workers
but the convention adopted, by an over
whelming vote, the report of the reso
lutions committee opposing any cation.
The committee report declared the
federation would not. be “justified in
taking any action that might be con
strued as an assistance to, or appro
val of, the soviet government, so long
as it is based upon authority which
has not been vested in it by a popular
national representative assembly of the
Russian people, or so long as it endeav
ors to create revolutions in well-estab
lished civilized nations of the world,
or so long as it prevents organizing
of labor and prevents organizing of
labor and prevents organizing and
functioning of trades unions and main
tenance of free speech, free press and
free public assemblies.”

THIRD PARTY TALK
BY A BULL MOOSER
Portland, Ore., June 16.—A petition
signed by more than 5,000 supporters
of Hiram W. Johnson lias been for
warded to him, asking him to repudi
ate the plaform adopted at the Repub
lican national convention in Chicago
and to announce himself as an indepen
dent candidate. A telegram was for
warded to Johnson by William P.
Adams of this city.
REPUBLICANS FEAR
THIRD PARTY MOVE
Chicago, June 16.—Republican lead
ers are experiencing a “morning after”
sensation as a result of their discovery
of third party clouds of most ominous
character darkening the political sky
which had settled so roseate during
jollifioatino of the Harding-Coolldge
nomination.
With third party movements crowd
ing each other for the front of the
stage and with the prospects for get
ting all such elements together in Chi
cago after the Democratic convention,
the third party idea is no longer re
garded as such a joke. The most op
timistic of the “regulars” are getting
worried.
In the conclave of former Progres
sives in which twenty-seven States
were represented, providing a rather
dubious, aftermath of the Coliseum fes
tivities, there was tangible talk of a
third electorial ticket. And Republican
leaders have not forgotten that Sen
it.or Hiram Johnson, the Progressive
ntry, left Chicago without a word.
Bull Moose Man Talks
Here is the statement made today
by Bancroft Abbot, the Boston lum
berman, Bull Moose organizer in New
England in 1912, Johnson manager in
the same territory of the post-conven
tion meeting of the Progressives:
“We are forming an organization.
This organization is not necessarily
i party. After the San Francisco con
vention a meeting will be held, prob
ably in Chicago, at which time we will
decide whether to endorse a candidate
already in the field or run an electorial
ticket.
“The same course will be carried
out in the senatorial, congressional and
State fights. When a man is a real
American he will be endorsed regard
less of whether he is running as a
Republican or Democrat or independ
ent.
There were three outstanding candi
lat.es backed by millions of people,
Johnson, Wood and Hoover! They
were upset by a man who was dying
in Pennsylvania and two old men in
their dotage attending their last con
vention. I refer to Boies Penrose,
Murray Crane and Henry Cabbott
IxKlge. We have a bigger club of
Johnspn-Roosevelt progressives in New
England than Murray Crane ever built
Candidates Overthrown
“The people of the country in pref
erential primaries endorsed candidates.
These candidates were overthrown in
the Republican convention which has
ilso to its credit a platform state
ment taking an undecided course upon
he League of Nations.”

'he hoard, indorsed by Clark Howell.
Sr., of Atlanta, to whom the plan was
'••rst presented by the family of Henry
W. Brown. The same amount will be
given the university each year for thir
ty years, totaling SIB,OOO.
NO HOUSES TO RENT
AND ROOMS SCARCE
Although there lias been much build
ing in Winder for the past six months
still there are no houses to rent and
rooms for light house-keeping are as
scarce as accommodations in San Fran
cisco for Democratic delegates.
Mr. A. B. Baugh, thinking he was
making a killing by selling his house
tnd lot for a good price, is out of a
lome. After trying for days to find
location and failing, Tuesday lie
spent in Atlanta searching for a tent
o shelter he and his family until
letter arrangements can be made.
A tent would not prove bad such
gilts as the last, few we have had
icre, provided the tent was raised on
the highest knoll, and under the pro
feting branches of some of our fine
shade tree's. *
If folks keep coming and buying
you need not he surprised to hear Win
der referred to as “The City of Tents

EX-SOLDIER AND CITIZEN
AT LARGE, HIT BY RED TAPE
ATLANTA —R. H. Hall, ex-soldier
wants to be a railway mall clerk. But,
just as in the old army game, he has
bumped up against governmental red
tape.
Hall doesn't live anywhere, except
under His hat. He can prove he was
born in the United States, but, he can’t
“establish citizenship.”
He was born in Lauderdale County
I’enn., but he enlisted before he was
1 so lu* wasn't a citizen there. .
“Two years in Manila didn't, make
ie a Filipino; two years in France
failed to make me a Frenchman; two
vcmrs in Alaska didn’t turn ine into
an Eskimo,” he declared.
“You probably are a citizen at large,
suggested J. 11. Weiss, assistant sec*
retary of the civil service commission
in Atlanta.
“So far, maybe,” said Hall. “But
I won’t be at large long if this keeps
up. I’ll be in the nuthouse,”
Search of official records developed
that Hall is a citizen of the United
States, but not of any State, county,
township or voting precinct, therein.
And lie's been only two months In
Atlanta, so he can’t establish residence
here. But Mr. Weiss sent the applica
tion to Washington, declaring he was
determined to get a ruling on Hall’s
case.
‘Because we want ex-soldiers in the
mail service,” he said.
