McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Wedn«sda State Picketing In Chicago Thompson tries to end teachers' strike UPI photo Teachers picket outside the District Three Center of the Chicago K there Public Schools after last-minute talks Tuesday failed to stop a the board's Strike. Hie city's 28,000 teachers and more than 400,000 students were scheduled to report to classes. CHICAGO (UPI) -- Gov. James R Thompson convened a meeting of union and Board of Education offi­ cials Tuesday in an attempt to end the third teachers' strike in as many years against the nation's third-larg­ est school system. The Illinois governor directed his chief of staff, James ReiUy, to sit down with board members and rep­ resentatives of the Chicago Teach­ ers Union in an attempt to hammer out a contract agreement. The 28,000-member CTU went on strike Tuesday after federally medi­ ated contract talks failed to produce an agreement. Talks broke off at 1:15 a.m. CDT "due to a lack of progress," mediator James0 Schepker said. Teachers walked picket lines in­ stead of reporting to schools to pre-' pare for Wednesday's slated opening of classes for some 431,000 students, who have been idled by teachers' strikes the past two years. Contract talks apparently stalled on the CTU's demand for a 9 percent pay rise for the 1965-86 school year. The board has said it can afford only 3.5 percent. Thompson, whose 7-year-old daughter, Samantha, is a Chicago iblic school pupil, indicated he be* are sufficient funds in budget to meet the CTU's contract demands. But board spokesman Bob Saigh said the governor is apparently reading the board's budget figures differently than the board's negotia- tiors, leading to the discrepancy in exacUy how much money the board has available to fund a pay raise. CTU president Jacqueline Vaughn ^gvailabli said the earliest the strike could etfd is Thursday. N Mayor Harold Washington, who left the city Aug. 23 for a trip to China, telephoned Schools Superin­ tendent Man ford Byrd and Board President George Munoz on Monday night to be briefed on the contract cy plan was in effect because of the walkout. All schools and play­ grounds will remain closed and se­ cured until further notice, but dis­ trict offices will be open for non- striking school personnel, Saigh said. Educational programs will be to students on the board's radio station and the Chicago Public Library will offer reading classes and other learning acUviUes during the strike "There is no reason parents can not begin getting their kids ready," Saigh said. "Get the kids reading the newspaper, books around the house or take them to the library." The mayor urged the two officials to keep the "lines of communication open and to bargain with good faith," Saigh said. - Alderman Edward Burke, a mem­ ber of the City Council majority bloc opposed to Washington's administra­ tion, criticized the mayor for not being in Chicago to help mediate the dispute. "It is a question of leadership," Burke said. "Certainly (the late) Mayor Richard Daley never would have abandoned the ship and gone off on a Far East junket with a strike looming." Meanwhile, the Board of Educa­ tion announced its strike contingen- ELECTROLYSIS., THE SMART CHOICE THE SMART CHOICE IS TO BE POSITIVE. • LOOK YOUR BEST WITH ELECTROLYSIS.
