Others speakers were DR.. Rob-
ert Gilman. of the Arlington

cussed the teachers role in de-
linquency prevention, and Earl
c. Smith, a PTA member, who

Painters Strike
Mediation Fails
To Make Coins

A mediation session in the five-

today without progress toward
settling the dispute, Federal Me-
diator James Holden reported.
The disagreement between the
Washington Union Painting Con-
tractors Association and District
Council 81 Of the AFL Painters
Union is principally over wages
and painting methods.
The union seeks a 15-cents-
an-hour wage increase now and
a 10-cents-an-hour automatic
increase next May Is. The en-
ployers have offered a 10-cent
increase with no provision for an
increase next year.
Also at issue is the unions de-
mand for limitation in the size
Of roller applicators to be used
in their trade. The employers
want no restrictions on the use of
rollers. The dispute affects
about 900 painters who work for
major painting contractors here.
