At negotiating tables from New York to the Pacific Northwest, teachers bargained for higher salar ies, cost of living increases, limita tions on class size and more teacher preparation time. In Debuque, Iowa, members of the Debuque Theological Seminary faculty engaged in what is believed to be the first theological walkout in history. Picketers carried signs which read, “Take this job and sanc tify it.” Four days before classes were scheduled to begin for the city’s 220,000 students, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers called a strike Monday after a 15-hour nego tiating session with the board of edu cation failed to produce a tentative contract. A token force of 150 teachers then picketed the closed school adminis tration building until noon, carrying signs saying “Stop the cuts” and “No contract no work.” About a dozen of the picketers were among the 2,000 The Battalion Number One in Aggieland NOTICE University!

Their rehiring was one of the demands of the union. Early Tuesday, teachers in three Seattle-area school systems with 30,000 students voted to stay off the job over the same unresolved con tract issues. In Illinois, strikes by teachers in at least eight Chicago-area school dis tricts and unsettled contracts in a- bout 45 other areas threatened classroom openings for an estimated 115,000 students and 5,000 teachers. Teachers in Savanna, Athens, sub urban Wheaton-Warrenville and Bloom Township said they would go on strike Tuesday; strike votes were pending or under way in two other districts and contracts in 19 Chicago- area school districts covering about 4,800 teachers and 103,000 students remained unsettled.
