Wilkes-Barre,
Pa., March 26 – The school teachers of Minooka, near here, following
announcement that owing to the present lack of funds the force of teachers will
have to be reduced next school year, threaten to strike if such action is
ordered.
.
They say that for the past three
years the school term has been shortened to eight months; that teachers have
been kept waiting six months for their wages, and that if the proper officials
attended to their duties there would be no occasion for financial stringency.
In view of this they give public
notice that they will not return to their positions next year until they are
assured of a minimum term of nine months and regular payment of salaries; nor
will they permit a reduction in the number or wages of teachers.
