miss DEAL QUITS
AS HEAD OF UNION
Resigns Because of Assum-
ing Principalship of Junior
High School.

Miss Alice Deal, principal Of the
white junior high school. and for two
years president Of the High School
Teachers Union. today rendered her
resignation as head of the teachers
organization. r. w. Strawbridge. vice
president Of the union, will fill her
unexpired term until the annual elec-
tion of officers, in May.
Miss Deal took the oath of office as
principal of the junior high school
Thursday, and because of the unions
constitution, which does not approve
a school principal holding offlce in the
union. she believed IT was her duty to
resign. However, she did so under
protest from many members OF the
organization.
As principal of the junior high
school Miss Deal has won the ad-
miration of all the 800 pupils enrolled
in this institution, and their parents
as well. She was instrumental in or
ganizing the Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation Of the Junior High School.
which has mapped out a comprehen-
sfve program of improvements for
the school.
During her tenure of Office as head
o fthe High School Teachers Union
she worked for legislation to increase
the pay of school teachers, not only
in Washington. but all over the coun-
try. For this work she has been
praised highly by teachers organiza-
tfons in every state.
After turning in her resignation to
the union Miss Deal left Washington
this afternoon for Boston. where she
will remain until the latter part of
next week. for visit.

RAILROAD WAGE
DISPUTE AGAIN IS

B. M. Jewell of Workers
Writes Mr.. Wilson Confer

DECLARES EXECUTIVES
STAND DISAPPOINTING
:. T. Whittier of Employers Sees
Direct Negotiations as Too
Costly to Public.

The whole railroad wage contro-
versy was placed before President Will
son today for the third time since
railroad labor filed its demands for a
general increase in wages last sum-
mer.
In letter to the President B. NJ.
mittee. which constitutes the labor
party on the railroad wage board. said
he regretted very much Ito advise you
of our failure to obtain any beneficial
results from these conferences"
The employees. Mr.. Jewell said. were
keenly disappointed at the position
taken by the railway executives COM
TnIttee. which announced last night a
deadlock and the withdrawal of the
railroad members from. the conference.
Makes No Suggesti0ns.
Mr.. Jewell did not ask the President
to lay the wage controversy before
the railway labor board, which is to
be nominated by the President as
provided in the transportation act
representation.
Attached to Mr.. JewelIs letter was
correspondence setting forth the at
tItude of the men and the executives
committee.
f. T. Whittier. for the railway execu-
tives. wrote that while an agreement
as to cases might be reached by direct
negotiations between representatives
Of the roads and the men, the execu-
tives did not believe Congress con-
great an addition to transportation
costs without the public being repre-
sented in the conferences.
Mr. Whittier estimated that more
than $1,000. .000.0 would be needed to
grant the wage increase asked.

requested changes in the rates Of
pay" the letter declares, and no at
tempt has been made to estimate the
cost of changes in rules. which would
further materially increase the total.
Replying to this letter. Mr.. Jewell
said he believed the reason given by
the managers for terminating the ne
gotiations was mot in accord with
our understanding of the law"
SHrDFiping. Says Mr.. Jewell.
Tho attitude of your committee in
failing to carry out the wiah4s 81 the
President of the United States comes
as surprise to u.s." M Jewell wrote
to Mr.. Whittier. TT will result in keen
disappointment to our constituents as
well as the general public. both Of
whom are parties at interest and en-
titled to more consideration from the
bipartisan board than you have elected
TO give.
I'VE understand from this that
your committee has definitely de-
clined to assume the responsibility
and perform the duty which is so
clearly desired in the public interest.
and which the transportation act. as
we understand it. contemplates: that
of agreeing in conference upon rates
of pay for railroad employees which
are just and reasonable"
Union officials reiterated that, at
the request of the President. they
were going along to give the trans
portation act a fair trial." although
they did not indorse any of its pro-
visions They took the position that
with the breaking up of the joint
conference the whole matter was
made more difficult, since the union
membership was becoming restive.

BUILDING Assn, Idle

The building of homes and business
blocks are delicate propositions during
these days Of limited and impoverish-
ed material supplies. The contractors
are finding it extremely difficult to
secure building material such as &C.
ment and have temporarily called a
halt on future assumption of con-
tracts. There is a wide demand for
new homes and ample means appar-
emily to pay for them but the builders
hesitate to agree to any arrangement
unless absolute certainty as to mater
ials has been established. The Will
mar Building Association is idle these
days in it's building work due to the
limited sources of material. Attempts
have been made. in every way posi-
BILE to secure additional supplies but it
is evident that the local shortage is a
state and perhaps national problem.
Land however is selling haltingly but
there appears no active or great in
terest in this direction either. Doubt
less present high prices and scarcity
will continue for, some time unless
immediate relief shows up.

RELIEF COMING SOON
IN CEMENT SCARCITY
Local Dealer Says Shortage is Due
to Filling Old Contracts

Many theories have been advanced
in attempts to account for the difficult
ties encountered in securing sufficient
cement supplies in the city and many
diverse causes have been suggested.
On one hand some declare that there
is an actual scarcity of cement due
| to subnormal output, others contend
| that transportation is the chief Obsta-
Gle. Still others point to the increas-
ed public highway construction which
consumes tremendous amounts of &C.
ment. While H. S. Peterson offers
| this statement which seems practical
and worthy of considerations:
In an interview with Mr.. Peterson
! of the lumber firm of Peterson &
Qvale, the veteran lumber dealer
stated that the salient reason for the
present limitations On the supply of
cement was due partly, at bottom, to
all of the causes enumerated above,
but the primary one was that of over
| selling at the mills. During the past
years these mills have assumed large
| and numerous contracts far above
their output and which would take
months to fill The result is that most
| of the production of the mills goes
into filling the hook" contracts which
have been waiting for attention for
! months. Outside of these old con-
| tracts little can be given out for new
contracts and new buyers which ex-
plains why only SO per cent of the
amounts ordered these days reach the
purchasers.
Relief however is in sight. The de-
layed contracts will have been filled
some during the month of August and
thereafter all standing and new con-
tracts will receive more prompt and
satisfactory treatment.
There is no scarcity of lumber and
| other such building material said Mr..
Peterson and no trouble has been met
| recently>in obtaining all that was need
ed to fill local demands.
