C. Teague. Southeast president, has announced that ms firm will continue to operate a chartei service and flying school. Teague has threatened to carry the fight to the courts if necessary, charging that the CAB, in award ing the certificate to Piedmont, was attempting to put the latter firm in business and Southeast out of business. One of the effects of the South east decision to drop scheduled operations was to increase the prospects of charter service from Wilmington to the west inasmuch as Piedmont officials have indicat ed that it will be at least six begin operations on the routes months before the company would • awarded by the CAB.

Get INNER y COALITION (Continued from Page One) j man of the House Rules commit tee, told his colleagues in a speech i that the House measure "is a bil of rights for the laboring man, to protect him from exploitation ov employers and from encroach ments on his individual rights by labor unions." Allen said the bill, product oi i many weeks of work by the House Labor committee, fulfills a Repub lican party pledge to meet the problem of industrial strife. A Democratic minority on the House Labor committee callec it "A union busting" measure. It was approved by a bipartisan ma jority. A number of Democrats conced ed the Republicans had plenty of votes to pass it overwhelmingly. Approval by Friday is expected. Main Democratic strategy is ex pected to be devoted to an at tempt to substitute a bill carry ing out President Truman's pro posal for a commission to study the whole labor field and propose new laws. Republican leaders are claiming more than a 2 to 1 majority, ,vhich would be sufficient to overthrow a Presidential veto.

The new development on the oousin of the Marihuana weed was disclosed by Prof. Roger Adams i and associates of the University of Illinois. They reported at the 111th annual meeting of the Amer ican Chemical society that a series of drugs — all chemically similar to an active ingredient in natural Marihuana — have been synthesized.

Craig, for A.T. & T., expressed approval of “the general basis' for Schwellenbach’s proposal but saiu the bargaining so far as long distance workers is over and “the long lines strike should be termin ated at once.” He also summed up tne views of affiliated companies on the ar bitration question. “All those companies,” Craig wrote, “express the view that it is entirely impracticable to place all the cases before one board. “They emphasize the large num ber of cases (45 disputes), as well as the wide range of the work operations, the geographical spread of these companies over the entire country and the great differences in rural, town and city conditions.” Beirne, for the workers federa tion, wrote Schwellenbach that “the proposal is not acceptable in its present form and has therefore been unanimously rejected” by the union policy committee. Beirne told reporters, however, “a solution to the entire problem will be found—the telephone strike will end.

Barrett and Murphy were slap ping each other on the cack and radiating good fellowship when they boarded the plane at Los Angeles. Their loud laughter re sounded through the ship and drew the attention of other pas sengers. One spirited a bottle of whisky aboard and it passed from one to the other frequently, in violation of both airline and government regulations. Stewardess Martha Rundahl and Capt. Fred Wahl, the pilot, order ed Barrett and Murphy to sur render their bottle when attention was called to it by their boistrous conduct. They gave up the bottle and quieted down for a short while. But when the plane was less than 15 minutes from the air port here, they broke out into a violent quarrel. Police Sergeant E. A. Duarte of Los Angeles, flying here on per sonal business on his day off, went into action. “These planes have three seats on one side, and there was a guy in a seat between these two fel lows who didn’t have anything to do with the fight.” the policeman said. “They were fighting over him and he was tyring to keep out of it. “Half the passengers were run ning up toward the front of the plane to see the fight and the other half were running back to get away fropn it. Some of them got down the plane’s fire extin guishers just in case these guys started coming back toward the rest of the passengers.” Sgt. Duarte indicated he had little trouble quelling the brawl, although by that time Barrett wielded a dinner knife and had nicked Murphy’s nose. ‘‘As soon as I got there,” the veteran policeman said, “I stepped in, although it was my day off and I wasn’t officially working. I got it under control in a few minutes and sat between the guys the rest of the way. “Murphy’s nose was nicked by the knife, but it didn’t hurt him much.” Capt. Wahl had radioed ahead to the field here requesting help and when the plane landed Dep uty Sheriffs Bob Owens and Wil liam Honrath were waiting. They took Murphy and Barrett off to jail for the rest of the night. After a long study of law books, officers decided the charge against the men should be mis conduct in a public conveyance.
