FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STEEL STOCKS vAclLlATED
Bethlehem Steel Made a Net Decline
 of 27 Points, to 395.

New York, Jan. 31.-The stock mar lzet did not make favorable response today to the remarkable financial statement of the United States Steel Corporation. issued after the close of yesterdays session. and this encour- aged the short interest to extend re- cent operations. The moderate extra dividend declared by the steel direc- quarters, although it was generally felt that the enormous earnings war ranted a more liberal distribution.
 Consideration of testimony brought in some quarters considered one of the days deterrent factors. The opin- ion expressed by one of the witnesses respecting peace negotiations and their effect upon domestic conditions ex- cited considerable interest among the speculative element
 Steel vaccillated throughout, open ing with a fractional gain which soon was forfeited, making full recovery at midday and falling back again in the last hour. when the entire list, coppers excepted, was at lowest levels. SteePs final quotation of 112 repre- scented a net loss of one point.
 Bethlehem Steel issues were unus- ually active and weak, the old stoci making an extreme decline of 21 points to SS5. with a loss of z If for the new shares. the rights" thereto los- ing four points.
 Metals, notably Utah Copper. which was 5 1-4 points higher at its best were the only strong features, all though closing prices were made on a moderate rally. Total sales amounted to T45,oo0 shares
 Lires at the new low record of 7.30 furnished the only noteworthy fea- ture of the foreign exchange market.
 Bonds were ehavy on further sell ing of the international group. Total sales (par value) aggregated $4,240,- 900.
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

sTRuNk WANTS $s,ooo OR HE'LL QUIT GAME
Athletic Outfieider Does Not Think His Demand for Increase unreason- able.

Despite the fact that his salary was increased $500 over that of last year Amos Strunk, the fleet center fielder of the Athletics has announced that. he will not sign contract unless Man ager Mack agrees to pay him $5,000 for his seasons work, Strunk will quit the game entirely should his demands be refused.
 q don't think my demands are un- reasonable" said Strunk, when com pared with the salaries paid to other players in the league. Last year l was number four in hitting and in second place in fielding. That's pretty good for a member of tail-end club, and think that my work should be recog- nfzed. I have been competing against these high -salaried stars for years, and made a good showing. I am go- ing good now, and will continue to do so for some time. I have the ability, and that ability should call for more money.
 q am in no way attempting a hold up. Nor do I wish to be chased as a hold out I want to be fair with MT. Mack, and my salary demands show it. Five thousand dollars is not a big salary these days. Scores Of players in the league are getting more than that and the other magnateS are not kicking. I do not hold ar exag- gerated opinion of myself, but firmly believe that there are fifteen other clubs in the major leagues that would be willing to pay me the salary I ask For that reason, out Of fairness 10 myself, would like to be traded to some other club, if the Athletics do not meet my figures.
 Tn regard to this years contract, l want to state that MT. Mack did not cut my salary. Instead, he added $500 to it, but that isn't enough. I deserve $5,OO0 a year and I am going the limit for it, even, if I have to quit baseball. I have done nothing with the Della ware County League and don't think shall. That announcement last week of my desire to sign with one of the clubs was slightly out of focus Any way I believe MT. Mack will listen to reason and submit another proposition as a reward for faithful service"

Philadelphia, Jan S1.-The commit tee on athletics of the University of Pennsylvania tonight rescinded its action in declaring Robert c. Fsolwell mot acceptable" as head coach of the varsity football team.
 After three hours of deliberations, the committee through it's chairman. pr. Arthur w. Goodspeed, made the following announcement:
 "At a meeting of the university com- mittee on athletics at which various interests were represented, MT. Fol- well being present. it was voted that MT. FoIwelPs name be restored to the list of tentatively approved candidates for next years football coaches"
 F'olwn was intrrogated by members of the committee for 35 minutes. He left for his home in the suburbs be- fore the decision was announced
 The action of the committee in de- claring that it would be "un wiser to re-engage Folwell caused a storm Of of protest TeIegroms and petitions from students and alumni in all sec tions of the country urging that he be retained were received by the university authorities.
