PRICL FIVE CENTS Auto Industry Strike Held Off As Union Leaders Await Final Word From President Roosevelt Situation Appeared Tense’ ‘ONLY ONE TIDE As Both Sides Eagerly, Looked Forward To New! Developments . (iy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 23.—Union leaders were ex- pecting President Roosevelt to give quick support to their demands for workers elec- off the general strike, The situation was tense as * both sides waited for a break in the impasse. The next move | apparently rested with the White House. Labor chieftains home late last night to their unions in Detroit, Flint, Pon- tiac, Cleveland and St. Louis} wired ; that the strike already voted | should be held off until “fin- al word” from the White House. There was some anxiety! lest the urgent advice be dis-, regarded, but leaders were} held from fuller explana- tion because of the tightly-+ bound confiden¢ge.as.to what Mr. Roos@vert tora thém in a four-hour meeting. Apparently, they dared, not communicate their full) hopes. COUPLE ARRIVE FROM ATLANTA, MR. AND MRS. McGEE To JOIN | CAPTAIN AND’ MRS. THOMPSON Mr. and Mrs, W.

Survey shows four | tides on most days, three tides oc- feasionally and two tides at rare ; intervals, But on February 22, ; just one. A glance at The Citizen of Feb- ruary 21 shows the tide forecast for. the day following, as furnish- ied by the weather bureau, and the same oddity is shown. One tide. Explains Matter ‘Aéked for an explanation, Mr. | Haskins said the daily irregulari- ities in tides vary greatly in amounts at different places, but | there are fixed laws which enabled them to be predicted with astound- ing accuracy. Just as the eclipses of the sun and moon can be told years ahead, jat the exact spot on the earth’s {surface where it will be seen and the specific time at which the tshadow will start to move across | the face of either of these bodi | so can the tides be foretold with the same absolute accuracy as to time, e Tide variations are caused ‘the differences in relative !tions of the sun and moon and by ithe channels leading to and the position of the port on the earth ‘says Mr, Haskins, Various Changes | The main daily changes’ in jtides are caused by the changes jin the’ relative po: is of the sun and moon. The sun and moon I hoth attract the waters of the earth and raise them like an im- mense wave which follows each of ; the bodies. At time of new moon the sun and moon are both on the same de of the earth and are pulling in conjunction, At full moon the sun is en one side and the moon } on the other so that you have two sets of tide waves on opposite s of the earth approximately | hours apart.
