From where sit, that prescrip-
ton would apply to most human
relationships. Criticism rarely
rouses anything but resentment.
But an open mind whether it's
applied to a woman's choice of
hats, or husbands preference for
a pipe and a moderate glass of beer

unexpended balance of S56, ,880.14,
according to the annual financial
statement submitted at its meeting
Friday afternoon. Of the unex-
pended sum, S34,300.8S is non-re-
verting while S22,5'79.26 reverts to
the general fund of the state.
Funds available to the board for
the year totaled 1923, ,959.25, as fol-
lows: State appropriations, $780,
294.s0; state special funds, S19,-
466.05; federal vocational funds,
$30,716.10; federal lunch program
funds, 87,482.30. Funds expended
aggregated s767, ,079.11, as follows:
From state appropriations, $685.
797.46; from state special funds,
$16,504.31; from federal vocational
funds, S25, ,406.20; federal lunch
program funds, S69,371.14. Bal
ances reverting to the general
fund were S21, ,S27.95 from state
appropriations and S751.31 from

ial appropriations, $2,21043; feder-

board deferred action on a propos-
al of the Delaware Association of
Secondary School Administrators
that only one type of diploma be
issued high school graduates, in
stead of diplomas designating the
courses taken by the graduates
such as academic, scientific, COM
mercial, etc. The board question
ed whether parents and students
are "ready" for such change and
decided it is better to wait to as
certain sentiment of the public in
the different school districts before
acting. Appointment of Miss Ber-
nice L. Stiffler, Altoona, Pa, as
speech correctionist, a new posi-
tion in the Division of Special Edu-
cation, was confirmed by the board.

He also asked union members In
other companies to remain on their
jobs.
A spokesman said the unions
Policy Committee was preparing to
leave Cleveland today unless it re-
ceived immediate word from COM
pany representatives that further
negotiations were desired.
Mr.. Buckmaster declared, This Is
the latest step in history of stalling
and delaying which began last Oc-
tober %. when we first informed
the companies of our request for
wage increase to meet increasing
living costs.
Says Demand Was Dropped.
1--WE have tried time and again
to reach a settlement. Each time
We have been unsuccessful because
the companies have not made real
effort to meet the problem raised
by rising costs of living, despite
the fact they made record profits
of s102,000,000 in 1916, and that
they expect to do even better this
year." the union president said.
Mr.. Buckmaster said the union
had dropped demand for a night
shift here since March S. Previous
negotiations in Cincinnati dealt
with agreements on working con-
ditions, but collapsed on the issue
of whether wage demands would be
discussed Immediately or later.

Steel Industry Faces
Some Resistance
To Higher Prices
Rx the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 1.-THE scrap
and steel price situation continues
to boil, said the magazine Steel to-
day, but "demand-supply balance
is expected to be struck in most steel
products by midsummer.
Steel reported that "a few signs
were appearing limiting of possible
tapering of activity, with some con-
sumner resistance to the higher prices
noted"
Because of a prospect of easier
supply conditions, steel sellers are
preparing for intensive sales COM
petition after midyear," said the
magazine.
This, in turn, is generating spec
ulation with respect to the probable
trend of steel prices later in the
year, and some observers are ex-
pressing the view an easing in
quotations would not be altogether
surprising"
Current production of steel ingots
continues at record peacetime levels
and the current steel supply con
tinues tight but tension is relaxing
here and there" said the trade
journal.
The national ingot rate advanced
two points last week to IS per cent
of rated capacity, the highest level
since May, 1915, and equivalent to
weekly output of 1662,431 tons.

Big A Rubber Strike
Called for Sunday in
Long Wage Dispute
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 17.-Ap-
proximately 100000 members Of
the CLIO United Rubber Workers
in plants of the big Four" rub
Der companies will strike next
Sunday at midnight unless their
demands for a wage increase are
granted, L. S. Buckmaster, union
president, announced today.
The Big -Four" are Goodyear,
Goodrich, Firestone and United
States Rubber.
Nearly half the employees involved
in the wage dispute are employed
in Akron and the remainder in
other parts of the Nation. The
union has been demanding since
last fall a wage increase of rs cents
an hour. The average hourly rate
in the Akron area Is $1.34.
MI. Buckmaster said the unions
Policy Committee had set the strike
deadline after a stalemate in nego-
tiations with company representa-.
tives. Strike votes, averaging more
than 80 per cent, have been taken in
plants of the Big -Four, and the
cooling off period has expired.
Union Reduced Demands.
The union scaled its demands
down to is cents an hour, the union
president said, and the companies
offered 10 cents. Mr. Buckmaster
termed the 10 cents inadequate to
meet rising costs of living.
l.. NJ Buckingham, attorney for
the Big Four, said company offer
of a wage increase of 10 cents an
hour was "a fair offer, and they
ought to accept it. They have set
a strike deadline and we think that
is mistake on their part"
The attorney said that for the
year from March 2, 1916 to March
2, 1947, wage increase of 1872 cents
an hour was granted with IL cents
retroactive to November l. 1915.
Says 1t Equaled 221a Cents.
THAT was the equivalent of 221a
cents an hour for the year from
March to March," he continued,
land no other mass production in
dustry in the United States did as
much. Part of this increase was
to take care of probable increase
in the cost of living, and we have
asked the union to consider this
factor, but they have declined.
I'VE also proposed to permit either
party to reopen the wage issue at
any time after six months" he said.
Expressing hope that settlement
still could be reached, Mr.. Buck
master asked union members in the
Big Four plants to wait until Sun
day night before leaving their jobs.
