The court opened at $50 a. m,
and was in session until 7:30 p.

During the final stages OF the
trial the prisoners sat on two
benches reserved for them and

papermen in the rear of the
court chatted with spectators.
Twelve white military policemen in
the rear of the court chatted with
spectators. Twelve white military
policemen guarded the doors and
more stood on duty outside.
STARTED SEPTEMBER IS
Chronologically the events lead
ing up to the court marital and
it's undisclosed decision are: on
Sept. Is, the night preceding the
shooting, five colored soldiers were
ordered back to camp when MPs
discovered them in a tavern with
out passes. The soldiers are said
to have left reluctantly, one re-
making to an MP, "If you lay
hands on me, you'll get what's in
my pocket"
An MP sergeant named Berry
testified that next night Is soldiers
re-entered the tavern and some
white soldiers left. The bar man
told the colored soldiers they could
not be served in the front of the
tavern and they again left. Later,
however, he said they returned to
town after having armed them
selves with rifles, bayonets, and
tommy guns they allegedly smuggl-
ed from the camp. The weapons
were located above their hunks for
want of a storage place. Encounter
ing two white MP's, one is re-
ported as commanding, Hands up"
after which the firing started re-
sulting in the wounding of two
MP's.
The defending officer told the
court that the soldiers had been
confined to camp for long tinie
and because they were restless and
excitable foolisllly followed few
leaders, but he said there was
no clear evidence who did the
shooting. He claimed most of them
we're innocent.

Negroes have become solid

Stock Losses Run
To 7 Points Under
Profit Taking
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, June 8.-Stocks un-
derwent another moderate drubbing
from profit takers in today's market,
although most losers put up fairly
respectable defensive battle.
Further slipping tendencies were
evident at the start. At the worst
minus signs ran to 2 points or so.
Offerings never were unduly press
ing and, with dealings slow at inter
walls, little support arrived after
midday. Near the close extreme
recessions were substantially reduced
in the majority of cases and here
and there small advances appeared.
Transfers were around 100000
shares.
Excuses for cashing in on the long
forward swing varied Cited were
the desire to trim commitments in
preparation for the expected all
out European invasion; skepticism
over tax and labor outlooks, and
doubts regarding the confused sit
uation in the Argentine.
Bonds trailed with the share di-
vision. At Chicago wheat was off
% to up a of cent a bushel. Cot
ton. toward the last, was 20 to IS
cents a bale lower.

Montgomery Ward
Says WLB Sabotaged
Bargaining Process
Mail Order House
Asserts Employees Would
Rother 60 to Board
BY the Associated Press.

by tne hSSOCldted PreSS.
CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-THE War
Labor Board was charged yesterday
by Montgomery Ward & Co., huge
mail order house, with sabotaging
the process of collective bargaining
Filed with the WLB, the statement
was issued in connection with labor
disputes between Montgomery Ward
and the CIO United Mail Order,
Warehouse and Retail Employees
Union at Denver, Detroit and
Jamaica, N. Y. A hearing on the
dispute is set for January IA. g.
The statement said the predeter-
mination by this union and other
unions with which the company has
recently met to go to the War Labor
Board Is based on conviction that
the War Labor Board will grant
conditions more favorable than they
could secure by free collective bar
gaining.
The War Labor Board has thus
completely sabotaged the process of
collective bargaining as recognized
and guaranteed by the National
Labor Relations Act"
Montgomery Ward, on directive
by President Roosevelt, complied
last December 18 with a WLB order
to sign CIO contract embodying a
maintenance of membership clause
for its Chicago plant. The company
in a statement said it did so under
duress." although the contract itself
did not contain duress clause.
Yesterdays statement declared
the chief issue of the current dis
pute was the closed shop which it
said was illegal unless voluntarily
agreed to by the employer" The
statement also said:
Ward objects to the boards i'm
posing burdens upon it which are
not uniformly imposed upon those
with whom it is in competition"
