Secretary of Labor Davis has been petitioned by the Jewish Big Brothers’ League to allow Solomon Epramovitch to remain in this country. Solomon, a 14-year-old Jewish orphan, was a stowaway on the steamer Savoia which arrived in Baltimore February 7 from Klgiers.
Of bright and neat appearance, Solomon travelled 6,000 miles to America. When a youngster, internal wars in the Bolsheviki swept down on his village in the little republic of Georgia on the Black Sea, created after the World War. Both his father and mother were killed. British soldiers picked up the lad and took him to Constantinople, from where he wandered to Algiers.
