demands for pay increases and a

The teachers are members of
Locals 20 and 43, American Fed
Grafton Of Teachers. If they quit
their classrooms as threatened, 1t
will be the first time an AFL local
has ever gone on strike. Although
the unions constitution does not
forbid strikes, the union conven-

policy which has been adhered to
ever since.
Teachers in the twin city of
Minneapolis also are committed to
strike but have not yet set date.
A walkout will leave 10000 St.
Paul public school students with
plenty of playtime on their hands.
The teachers are seeking retro
active pay increases of $50 a
month effective September 1916
and increases of 500 a month
starting Jan. l, 1947. They have
also asked for boost Of 81, zoe, 900

Trenton, N. j. (FP) - Striking
printers on the Trenton Times got
a double boost when the AFL and

Action came from the Central

Trenton area.
The AZ printers, members of

Plan was officially effective No

The Wenczel Company manage
ment agreed to put this plan into

member being hospitalized, the
member will receive payment Of
$500 per day for 81 days for room

A flat surgical fee is provided for
each respective operation, and the
members dependents will receive
one-half of the surgical and hos
