Under a new system followed in

disposition of the case in court.
No card against Mr.. Norton could
be found at police headquarters.
Captain Durrer said today that

City Manager Rich had all the cards
in the case.
When approached last night, Rich
declared that there was nothing to

been placed against the Judge.
After posting the collateral last
night, the former judge left for his
country home, several miles south
of the city. His wife drove the ma
chine in which they were riding
when arrested, as 1t left the police

afternoon when a committee rep-
resenting the printers will submit
to Public Printer George H. Car
Ter counter-proposal to his plan
Tor. a sliding wage scale.
Turned Down Hard.
The Carter plan has been unani-
mously rejected by the employees as
contrary to trade union principles.
the counter proposal, framed this
week by the employees, proposes a
nat rate OF pay, fixed at $1.O5 an
hour, with Is per cent extra for
overtime and night work.
Mr.. Carter, who has just returned
20 this city from a convention of
printing craftsmen in Tennessee,
announced that he will receive the
employees committee at 3 O'Clock.
NO further action in the negotia-
tons Is expected until the Public
Printer has had an Opportunity to
study the counter proposal and the
statement Of the employees giving
their reasons for the rejection Of
his sliding scale wage plan. 1t is
not expected that the Public Printer
will agree with the counter plan
and further concessions on both
sides probably will be made during
the next few weeks.
Unless an agreement can be
reached before Congress convenes
in December, it is probable that
the matter will be placed in the
hands Of the Joint Congressional
Committee on Printing, which is
the court Of last appeal in wage
difficulties at the big printing
establishment.

will present the counter proposal
