Pay strikes prevent schools from opening United Press International Teachers in Rochester, N.Y., Wednesday walked picket lines in defiance of a restraining order and Newark, N.J., teachers walked out a day before 70,000 students were due back from summer vaca tion. Well over 25,000 teachers nationwide are partici pating in strikes that are becoming as much a rite of September as the reopening of schools. As usual, money led the litany of contract issues. Other teachers’ strikes simmered around the country. In Philadelphia, where officials were re portedly roughed up, teachers were under a court order to limit picketing. Two Rochester schools were forced to close on the first day of classes Wednesday and others were ex pected to close. In Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, the strike involved 4,500 teachers, aides, and clerks in 81 schools. Their contract expired on June 30, and con tract talks stalled Tuesday. Rochester School District officials had hoped a combination of substitutes and administrators could keep classes as normal as possible for the district’s 34,600 students, but a shortage of substitute teachers was expected to force the closing of additional schools. The district’s approximately 2,300 striking teachers set up picket lines at 6 a.m., in the first such strike in the city’s history to back demands for a better wage increase than the 6 percent offered. In Philadelphia, where schools were to reopen Friday, the two sides complied with Mayor William J. Green’s order to resume around-the-clock negotia tions late Tuesday night under the supervision of a state mediator. The 20,000 teachers were supposed to report for their first day of work Wednesday but instead plan ned to resume picketing at schools, the district admi nistration building, and other facilities. A court order limited the number of pickets to six at any location. That order was issued as a result of incidents Tues day at the administration headquarters. Dr. Ethel Allen, acting administrator of the clinic for school district employees, saying she had been called to a medical emergency, was turned back when she attempted to cross the picket line. The crowd booed her and she turned away saying, “I’m not going to fight you.” Common Pleas Court Judge David N. Savitt, who granted the injunction against the teachers, sche duled a hearing Friday for the teachers to show cause why the order should not be enforced. There were walkouts in at least four other Eastern Pennsylvania districts also. In New York, Rochester teachers were ordered to report to classes for the first day of school Wednesday or face fines and contempt citations for their union leaders. About 2,500 teachers Tuesday staged the first strike in the city’s history in a demand for a better wage increase than the 6 percent offered. Strikes in more than a dozen Illinois districts in volve some 700 teachers and more than 33,000 stu dents. In the Chicago area alone, 19 districts had yet to reach contract settlements. Also in the Midwest, teachers in three Ohio dis tricts with a total of over 8,000 students were off the job and more strikes were threatened. In Michigan, teachers’ strikes in 19 small-and medium-sized districts, kept 5,300 students out of school. In Iowa, striking members of the Dubuque Theological Seminary faculty agreed to resume bar gaining and to stop picketing at least temporarily. On the East Coast, about 14,000 students were affected by strikes in Rhode Island. Over half those pupils are in the Woonsocket district where the 550- member teachers’ union has voted to walk off the job. In the West, teachers were picketing three Seat- tie-area schools with 30,000 students. tangled overtl Ion line d raps I e and tiedfirtl 1 in the baii. uomes al to grab the kr| the water, m from sw nntercomesfel s must ownoil s, hunt onlyl nd must noth four feet low I July figures indica te economy looking up United Press International WASHINGTON — After slumping for five months, factory orders ijrose in July by more than they have in a decade, providing fresh jevidence the United States’ latest bout ikuth recession may be drawing |to a close. New orders for manufactured goods jumped 5.7 percent or $7.8 |billion last month to a seasonally adjusted $146.4 billion, the Com merce Department said Tuesday. Although orders improved for most manufacturers last month, a sconsiderable jump in demand for steel, aircraft and automobiles [accounted for most of the overall gain — the first increase since January [and the largest since December 1970. One does have the feeling there has been some momentum build- ling for a recovery, however modest,” said William Cox, a Commerce [Department deputy chief economist. | Last week, the government’s index of future economic trends reg istered its largest increase. Other recent figures have shown auto sales {are improving, housing construction is on the rise, and consumer [spending has begun to pick up. In its report, the department said new orders for durable goods — [products designed to last more than three years — jumped 10.3 (percent or $6.8 billion in July to $73.3 billion. Transportation equipment orders were up $3.5 billion or 28 percent •to $16.2 billion with new auto orders accounting for about half of the | increase. Steel manufacturers had their second good month in a row in July with new orders increasing 22.5 percent, following June’s 16.1 percent gain. The only major durable goods industry that did not show improve ment during July was the electrical machinery sector, the department said. i "THE DIFFICULT WE DO IM MEDIATELY, THE IMPOSSIBLE TAKES A LITTLE LONGER" k AGENT AERO AIR FREIGHT .

Bargaining dragged on so long, however, that the strikers said they could not return to their jobs before Thursday. The Silesian miners held out for their demands two days after strikers at the Baltic shipyards returned to work after winning an unpre cedented package of social and in dustrial reforms, including the right to form unions free from Communist Party control. The government made major con cessions in order to get the striking coal miners back to work quickly to save Polish industry from being crip pled by a lack of energy supplies. The workers succeeded in win ning their three main demands: a five-day work week, improved safety measures in the mines, where eight men died in an accident Monday, and a reduction in the retirement age from 55 to 50. 1 1 1 1 1 1 ) 1 ★★★★★★★★★★■A ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ MANOR EAST 3 l MANOR EAST MALL 823-8300 * WELCOME BACK AGGIES.
