 Men Work Long Hours.
 We believe that a large majority of the men actually working in the mill work 10 and 12 hours a, day." the report said.
 Men cannot work 10 and 12 hours a day and attend classes in night schools. An eight hour day with a living wage that will enable men to support their families and bring up thelr children according to the stan dards of American life ought to be a cardinal part of our industrial pol- icy and the sooner the principle is recognized the better it will be for the entire country.''
 Strikers Took Wrong Course.
 Sketching briefly the history of the steel strike, the report dealt with the efforts of strike leaders to get Judge E. Il. Gary, chairman of the C 5. Steel Corp, into Q conference, lar enough to point out that com- mlttee members felt sympathy with the principle of collective bargaining but did not believe the steel strikers had taken the right course.
 Gary's Stand Upheld.
 The representatives selected (for bargaining) should be those who be- lieve in the principles of American government the report said on this point. Judge Gary could well have objected to receiving a man with the views of MT. Foster He did not put his refusal on that ground, but rather put it on the ground that the men did not represent the employees though himself conceding that ten to 15 Der cent of the men in the mills were probably unionized. It seems to us that even this ten or 1 5 per cent had the right to select their own repre- sentatives and present their griev- ances. and that they should have been heard''

ARGUMENT OVER

ROBERT G. HARMAX AND
]. 4. HUGHES TO OPPOSE

Announcement was made today by the
State Judges that the time for hearipg
arguments as TO the constitutionality Of
the new school code had been postpon-
ed from tomorrow until Friday. The
Chancellor and State judges will sit
in the County Court House at Dover
at n o'clock Friday morning to hear
the arguments.
The pOstponement was made at the
request Of Robert G. Harman, attorney
OF this city, who was retained yesterday
by Kent county parties to oppose the
code before the Judges. As the code
is very lengthy and Mr.. Harman had
not studied il thoroughly. the court at
his request agreed TO postpone the ses-
sion until Friday to give him an oppor-
tunity TO prepare for his argument;
One Of the judges stated today mat
they had no information as to Just who
will appear before them to argue for
and against the code. At the office Of
Attorney-General David J. Reinhardt
this morning it was stated that Mr..
Reinhardt will present an argument In
support Of the code.
10 was learned this morning that At
torney-General Reinhardt will hold a
conference today with his deputies to
go over the school code matter and
prepare for his argument upholding the
constitutionality Of the act. His depu-
ties are: p. Warren Green, chief
deputy; Frank L. Speakman, for New
Castle county; James NJ. Satterneld,
Kent county, and Daniel ]. Layton. Sus-

There is much comment as TO the po-

Deficit AHEAD OF
CITY SCHOOL BOARD
Goes Beyond $50, 900 In
crease and Appeals To
Council For Help
WOULD BORROW FROM
BUILDING FUND

With but two months OF the present
fiscal year gone and having been allow
ed a substantial increase in their ap-
prlation for this year, the Board Of
Public Education which recently re-
iected the new state School Code is
facing a deficit. This information was
given to members Of the Finance Com
mitlee Of City Council by President
George Rommel and other members Of
the board prior to the meeting OF the
school board last night.
The announcement caused much sur
prise as It was only a few weeks ago
that the board members Informed
Council they were satisfied with the ap-
propriatiOn allowed them.
The deficit, according 10 the members,
Is due to three things, an error on the
part OF Secretary Guthrie in tabulating
the estimated expenditures for the
year amounting to $4,000; the cost OF
ihe portable school houses that have
been ordered, $4,000, and about $4,000
needed to adjust the teachers salaries.
While none Of the members Of the
Finance Committee OF Council com
mitied themselves on the subject last
night. il was intmated that the school
board would have TO do some explain
ing before they received any more as
sistance from Council. The councilmen
who discussed the matter last night
and again today, said that II was their
recollection that at the conference
held with the School Board some
weeks ago. when they informed the
hoard members they would not ap-
prove the plan OF the Government
loaning them money for a new school
