COURT DISMySSES
THEFT CHARGES
AGAINST HANSEN

Because evidence disclosed that
cases against Jim Hansen were
more in the nature of civil actions
than criminal charges, Judge I.
Mayfield yesterday afternoon dis
missed petty theft charges filed
against Hansen by r. r. Fletcher
and c. H. Dalzel.
The cases were similar. Fletcher
testified he bought a COW from
Hansen for $40, with the guarantee
he would get his money back if
the COW was not satisfactory. When
unloading the animal he noticed a
1T" branded on the jaw, he said,
indicating that the cow had under
gone a tuberculosis test.
Since the period of the test had
not yet expired. Fletcher returned
the COW. Hansen gave him another,
for SIS less. This animal also proved
unsatisfactory, but Hansen would
not take the COW back, and would
not return the money, according to
evidence.
The other case was of the same
nature. Judge Mayfield held there
was no theft apparent, saying the
evidence was more in the nature of
that introduced at civil trial.

NEW YORK PAPERS
CUT PRINTERS PAY
10 Per Cent Reduction Or
dered by Arbitration Board,
Effective Sunday.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 2-The wage
scale paid to members of Typographical
Union No. 6, wko are employed in New
York newspaper plants, was ordered re-
ouced 10 per cent yesterday as result
Of extended arbitration proceedings.
John T. Saulter of Indianapolis,
chairman Of the International arbitra-
tion Board. ordered the cut. asserting he
could not "conscientiously be a party to
the inconsistency of maintaining wage
rates at 1929 levs--s."
The cut was ck2red effective for one
year. beginning at am. Sunday.
The two union representatives on the
board of arbitration refused to sign the
agreement because it also provided for
a change in working hours that had
been proposed by the publishers.
Object to New Hours.
Under the new wage scale, which
represents one-half of the reduction
asked by the publishers, printers on the
day shift would be paid $3.50 for six
day week, those on the night shift
SCI so, and those on the lobster" or
early morning shift. $64.50
Under the present scale they are
paid $65 for day work. S68 for night
work. and S71 for early morning work.
In refusing to sign the agreement, the
union representatives based their OBJ
lection on Saulters inclusion Of the
publishers proposal that the day men
be available for 7l2-hour shift be-
tween 7 am. and Z pm, that night
men be available between 4 pm. and
am. and that the lobster" shift
extend from 10 pm. to 10 am.
At present the shift hours are from
8 am. to 6 pm, from 6 pm. to 3 am.
and from 2 am. to 10 am.
Union Asked Increase.
In submitting the matter to arbitra-
ton, the union men had asked for
shorter hours and increased pay.
Announcement of Saulter's decision
followed a meeting of the board of ar
bitration, which consisted. besides Saul
ter. of Louis Wiley. business manager
of the New York Times, and Hopewell
l.. Rogers of the Hearst organizations,
representing the publishers. and Sig
mund Oppenheim and W. N. P. Reed,
representing the union.
In his opinion Saulter said:
The evidence in the record is con-
elusive to the effect that since 1929.
when the last contract between these
parties expired, and the current month
there has been a seriously Gripping
loss of revenue suffered by newspapers
party to these proceedings Despite this
condition and despite the fact that the
last contract between these parties eX-
pired June 80. 1929, there has been no
default in payment of wages at the
1929 levels.
Cites Lower Living Costs.
In addition to maintenance Of 1929
wage levels, the record reveals unselfish
and beneficial relief. insurance and pen
sion activities carried on by certain
New York newspapers at heavy expense
to themselves and at no expense to the
members of the union.

Great Britain also bluntly stated that
should payments be resumed she would
have to strengthen her exchange posi-
ton and this could only be done by
adopting measures which would further
restrict British purchases of American
goods"
English taxpayers, she argued. would
suffer as much as American taXpay-
ers by wiping out all war debt agree
ments because England would be longer
collecting the debts and reparations
due her. The note asserted that Eng
land during the war did trade with
America reaching a volume of $4,000
OOO, 900 in 1919. OF the $4,000, ,O00.-
600 British war expenditure in this
country, the note said, only about one
third was financed by borrowing from
the United States Government.
"A settlement, however generous it
may SEEM" it continued. which re-
lieves the economic machinery of the
world by clearing up these inter-
governmental payments, would be re-
paid again and again by the contribu-
ton which it would make to a world

Bigger Hurdle Ahead.
A vote of confidence was given on
the domestic issue involving conversion
of public loans, but there might yet
be bigger war debt hurdle ahead,
since a large group of Deputies op-
poses payment.
The ire of this group has been raised
apparently by reports that the premier
is willing to stake the fate of his gov
ernment on payment If necessary"
The premier wishes, however, it was
said. to go the limit in the direction OF
postponement before he makes the
point a matter Of confidence in the
chamber.
During the debate on the conversions,
the government was accused OF having
paid high commissions to banks to
facilitate the scheme. The government
agreed to publish details of all such
operations of previous governments.
Deputy Louis Marin, Nationalist
leader, Immediately took the floor when
the conversion question had been dis
posed of and demanded debate on the
war debt issue.
M. Marin contended that the Cham
