Court Upholds the President in Labor Wage Dispute
The court ruled on a case involving a Black soldier from Twin infantry and a challenge to wage recovery after dismissal. Judge Hough rejected the government’s claim to dismiss the wage payment, siding with the plaintiff Reed who sought 12 months of wages back to dismissal. District Attorney Stidson argued the president’s authority to withhold wages, but the judge did not accept that position.
