an argument over a woman.
A $25 fine for trespassing was
placed against Carl Lee Joyner
when he agreed to plead guilty
to the charge after the original in
dictment charging assault upon
Mrs. Alice Lamb, a mother OF
two children, was dropped and
after the state had completed its
case.
Mrs. Lamb, %, who said she
was separated from her husband,
related that Joyner came to the
rooming house at SOL Wrightsville
avenue, where she lived, offered
her money and made indecent re-
marks. j. A. Croker, another

collect $3.50 which Green owed
him and refused to pay, that
Green struck him, then advanced
upon him with a knife which ac'
cidentally cut the complaining wit

a jury found guilty on two
counts Of assault with a pistol.
Bellamy was sent to work on the
road for 80 days on one count ano
was given an 18-months suspend
ed sentence on the other.

Negro couple, told the jury thai
last November % Bellamy came
to their home at 1923 South Eighth
street about l a. M, and chal
lenged Sneed to come outside anc
talk matters over and that wher
the latter refused, threatened to
shoot through the window.
The couple testified that Bellamy
fired a pistol shot off on their
porch twice. They admitted thai
the woman, in retaliation, returned
the fire with another pistol from
the couples front window. Bel
lamy offered no defense.

will Urge Change

He said he did not believe Con.
gress intended by this law to de.
stroy labor's gains. But if the act
should work in that direction, he
promised. Il shall request the
Congress to take prompt remedial
action"
He also suggested tacitly thai
labor itself might clarity the eff
feet of the legislation on the wage
hour law and other labor reform
statutes by testing in the courts
its ''new and possibly ambiguous
provisions.
But Mr.. Truman was emphatic in
his belief that the good effects OF
the law would outweigh its po-
tentially bad ones. Specifically, he
said, it should speed a satisfactory
settlement of current wage ne
gotiations. and enable business to
plan with assurance for full pro-
duction and price reductions"
This will be of real value to
labor and management in the
maintenance of a continued high
level of employment" he said.

In that, he differed sharply with
Secretary of Labor Lewis B.
Schwellenbach, who has fought the
