FACTS NOT AGREED TO
SLIGHT HITCH IN THE PROCEED

DIFFICULTY
STIPULATION YET UNSIGNED

Facts Pres e1sted by Counsel O'Brien
fer the ,TeacbeEs Will BE ModI-
ffed' 1tOe Some extent by the Cor
poration Attorney, Who Has to
Accept the Presentation Before
1t Becomes of Effect.
There is slight hitch in the proceed
ings for the settlement of the teachers
salary difficulty, although it is thought
that 1t will result in any serious de-
lay in the presentation to the district
court of the matter for adjustment
The statement presented by John D.
O'Brien, counsel for the teachers, to Cor
poration Attorney Markham is in legal
terms, and recites the resolution of the
school board presenting the budget to
the mayor, the ordinance cutting down
the budget, from $532, $50 to $4,000; the
subsequent mill. and half tax levy; the
appointment of Mr.. Weitbrecht as prin-
cipaF of the Mechanic Arts High school.
the fixing Of the salary of $40 a month
the preparation of. the first pay roll of
the year, and its payment; the preparation
of the second roll, and it's nonpayment
and concludes:
1.-THE controversy to be determined in
this action and proceeding is whether or
not the plaintiff above named is entitled to
recover from the city of st. Paul the
sum of $40 fol-. services performed by him
under the employment and in the capacity
aforesaid, and remaining unpaid as afore-
said"
Corporation Attorney Markham has not
agreed to the statement of facts as yet,
as it does not present to the court the
fact that the supreme court, Oct. %. last,
declared the mill and a half tax levy law
invalid nor does it point out that the
schedule of salaries was not changed by
the board after the council had expressly
fixed the amount to be expended by the
board for teachers salaries at 1927 900.
1t is not thought that there will be any
question as to the statement of these par
ticuIars, although their mateFiality may
be argued, when the question comes up
for hearing.
The attorneys will meet for conference
at 1890 a. m. today to prepare, the full
statement of the cause.

his legal knowledge and position to refuse

yesterday afternoon he is quoted as hav-

1t is unquestionab.y a piece of vicious

a certain class of legislation. I will NOT
say that 1t is Populism, but 1t certainly
