TEACHER STRIKE
PLANS UNCHANGED
Buffalo, N. Y, Walkout
| Would Disrupt The Stud
les Of 1900

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 22.-P
- The president of the Buffalo
Teachers Federation declared to-
day that plans were unchanged
for a strike Monday expected te
disrupt the studies of II, 1000 pupils
Raymond J. Asst, president o:
the Federation which was a mem
bership of more than 1000 of the
city's 1850 teachers, reiterated
that the strike would start unless
the federation received concrete
assurances from Governor Thomas
E. Dewey's office on permanent
salary demands.
The association has asked for a
So, 4o0-$3, 600 minimum schedule.
In Albany, an authoritative
source said there were no pros
poets of weekend assurances by
the administration that would
meet the Buffalo groups specific
salary demands.
Ast's announcement was made
after he had been informed thai
the State Teachers Association
had voiced satisfaction with q leg
islative program drafted by
Dewey's special education com
mittee, to be submitted to the leg
islature Wednesday. No details o!
the recommendations have beer
announced.
DR.. Arvie Eldred, executive
secretary of the State Association
said in Albany that the Governor!
committee had indicated its pro
gram would call for a minimum
starting salary slightly less thar
the So, 400 demanded by the as
ISOLATION but would provide for in
crements to raise the top mini
mum above the $500 asked BY
the teachers.
81 told the committee that seem
ed satisfactory" said Eldred.
Emphasizing that so far as the
federation was concerned, the
strike situation was ''unchanged,'
Asst said ''there is nothing at al
concrete in the report we have"
81 don't want this assurance
through some Intermediary, such
as the State Teachers Associa
Ltion," said Asst. 81 want someone
from the Governors office tt
come up here and give 81 some
assurance on u salary de
mands."

LOWER AT BUILDING
COSTS PREDICAED
Continued From Page One)

construction continued through
January. Although it gave no
figures on the number of dwellings
started, it showed that the dollar
value of residential work actually
done totaled 1925, 900, 900, or eight
per cent under December.
VIRTUALLY complete recover
sion Of the construction industry
to a peacetime basis was achiev-
ed in 1885," the report continued.
Private financing, which was
severely curtailed during the war
years, accounted for 70 per cent
of total new construction, where
as during the war private funds
had accounted for little more thar
one-fifth of the total"
The greatest disappointment
was the drive for factory-built
prefabricated homes. Prefabrica'
tors shipped only $1,000 units, al
against the original goal of ESQ.,
900. Shortage of materials was the
basic cause, Creedon said.
Reuorting a 'phenomenal' in
crease in the output of supplies
and material, Creedon gave this
summary forecast for 1947:
Nearing a balance with demand:
Brick, lumber, concrete blocks,
sinks, cement, asphalt roofing and
paint.
Scarce in some areas, but more
plentiful than last year-plaster,
nails, glass, building board, toilet
bowls and tanks.
Greatest problems in 1947-mill-
work. flooring, iron soil pipe.
| many plumbing fixtures.

The loss of these teachers has weakened ou,
schools to a frighteningly low level. The harm
to Americas children is beyond calculation,
The situation is getting worse. Nobody want,
to be a teacher. Young people turn to other
occupations. In colleges, where teachers ar.

condemnins Our Children TO InferieriN
Teachers are quitting the profession becaus,
they are underpaid. There are many teachen
whose pay is less than 5000 a year. They are
victims of our short-sightedness. The high cost
of living has wiped out their savings. Jobs out
side the schools offer better pay. The teacher.
are taking them. They will continue to do so
until the American people decide to pay teach
ers a living wage.
This nation cannot afford to continue short.
changing its teachers. American wages for all
others have been raised substantially in recent
years. The national income has increased 800
percent since the war began, yet teachers IN
comes have been raised only twelve percent
It's as crazy as it is shameful.

A craxY and Shameful Condition

1t is a miracle that there are good teachers in
this country who sacrifice themselves and their
substance to remain in the profession. Some OF
them are forced to work at outside jobs after
school hours to remain on the ragged edge OF
responsibility. Must we sit back, doing nothing
until these teachers are forced to strike tora
living wage. And why shouldn't they striks'
if we do nothing? -,
In the meantime, American children are be-
ing robbed of a fair start in life. Five miliondt

others are herded into huge classes where there
is little chance to learn.
