Arguments Submitted as to Whether an Official May Be Impeached for Acts
 Not Criminal

Washington December 2tThe final legal battle in the impeachment trial of Judge Robert N. Archibald of the com meree court Rened today when the House managers and attorneys for the accused judge submitted in printed form to the senators arguments as to whether an of- ficial may be impeached for acts which are not the subject of prosecution indict- ment or information in a criminal court. The arguments are regarded as important because no claim Is made in the Archibald ease that the acts charged constituted crimes or misdemeanors punishable in the courts They also discussed the disputed point of whether an official may be im- peached for acts done before he entered upon the duties of his existing office.
 House managers In the impeachment trial contended ln their brief that the clause in the constitution defining im- peachable offenses was taken from the British parliamentary law. established and prevailing at the time of the forma- ticn of the American government, and must be interpreted not by the light of the common law of crimes, but by the light of time honored parliamentary usage" This parliamentary usage, they declared, recognized high crimes and misdemeanors" to be "misdeeds. miscon- duct or misbehaylor." They quoted many writers and referred to the previous im- peschment trials in the United States to sustain their ground.
 ''It may be-" retorted the attorneys for Judge Archibald. in reply to this argu- ment, that in the early history of Eng land cases will be found in Which alleged political offenders were removed from of fee by being sent to the block and having

Facing a driv- ing snowstorm the little army started on on the Old Post road early this morning. Their first stop was at Blue Stores. where Miss Lillian Dubois Rockefeller of Germantown, N.

 Mounting upon chair she gave the command: We must push on to Hud- son before night fall
 A little thrill ran through the band as they realized the hard struggle that lay before them.
 A rousing cheer went up. Skirts were hastily pinned boothigh and ear muf- 1ers adjusted before the women started out on their long, weary way.

GARY ANNOUNCES THAT STEEL CORPORATION IS PLANNING
 ADJUSTMENT OF WAGE SCALES

that they make the adjustments pro- posed at such times and in such amounts as may be determined.
 ''The exact amount of increase and the date at which they will go into effect are being considered and will be determined in few days
 The proposition to readjust the wage scale, especially as affecting the com mon laborers. has been under debate the greater part of the year. Intsma- tions that some increase would be granted were given at the November meeting of the subsidiary companies.
 Just what the readjustment implies is matter of conjecture. IL is under stood that not less than 30,000 laborers will be benefited and 1t Is considered not
 improbable that the many other em- pioyes in many other departments will share in the new scales.
