TIMOTHY WILLIAMS BORN
UNDER A LUCKY STAR

1t seems az II Timothy Williams,
colored. can't keep out OF court and
1t also seems that the authorities can't
keep from dismissing him. Within the
last few months he has been In court
three times on different charges and
each time has been let of without
punishment
Timothy was back In City Court to-
day on charge Of selling intoxicat-
ing liquor. the charge being brought
by George Nelson. colored. Williams
was arrested yesterday, but the ofYicers
failed to get any evidence on him.
Further investigation showed that
Nelson was actuated by bad feeling to-
ward the man and the case was ac-
cordingly nolle pressed by the State
today.
Back In July Williams struck Mil
dred Scott, when his automobile got
out OF CONTROL and was arrested for
that. However. the matter was ad-
5usted out OF court and as the incl
dent was entirely accidental. Williams
was let on
Last week Williams and his wife
aired a family row in court and after
the woman got her clothes from their
home he was again let of.

for settlement OF the rail- strike.
Tho language OF their message
framed At yesterdays conferences Of

lenrncd. however. that the message
was neither unqualified acceptance
nor rejection OF the plan put forth
at the White House, but conditional
acceptance, which Mr.. Cuyler declared,
the committee hopes will be we'll re-
ceived by both the President and the
country"
The reply expresses accord with the
View OF the administration that the
Railroad Labor Boards Jurisdiction
must be tho foundation for any get
tlement OF tho strike.
Then. to eliminate any misunder-
standing as to tho meaning Of Presi-
dent Hnrdins's suggestion that the
striking shop crafts men be returned
to their old position the reply stipu-
lates:
That the road will give Jobs tc
only as many OF the strikers ns may
be required to bring shop forces ur
TO normal. thus insurIns the jobs OF
loyal employees and new men acquired
since the strike began.
THAT strikers who are re-hlred
must return ss now men. with the un.
derstandins that their claims 10 un.
impaired seniority right shall later
be submitted to the Railroad Labor
