READ WANTS OWNERSHIP. Another feature in connection with the sudden turn in affairs is the fact that Secretary Ralph Read is endeavoring to purchase the controlling interest.

To a "Herald" reporter Robert Kneough made the following statement: "We do not.

expect to settle this strike with M. Ross, superintendent of the New Castle plant, but have appealed" to higher officials of the company. It is very probable that a conference will be held between the strikers and a party of New York officials. We will ignore Ross until after our jneeting with other officials of the company." Mr. Kneough was speaking in behalf of the men who walked out yesterday.

None of the strikers have left the city what they already have, also $500 for electrical fixtures in halls, auditoriums and offices.

This would, aggregate $4,700 for fur. nishings and a total for building- reduced as above mention, including f.ur-nisnings, $198,700. This Jo my mind is certainly very cheap, and certainly much cheaper than could be obtained in the future.

I also think the school board should reconsider their former action and let the contracts to the lowest bidders which no doubt they would still accept. As to a site the site already chosen would be all right, as it would make no difference where same should be, a large number would still have to ride in cars and the street railway dollars in cost. This was the private written statement or proposition made to the architect by the lowest and other bidders. This would reduce the cost of building to $194,000.
