Porto Rico is threatened with a strike of 2,50$ school teachers unless the legislature makes provisions for an increase In teachers' salaries. The teachers are expected to refuse to sign contracts for the next school year at the present scale of salaries. Francisco Vicenty, president of the Teachers' association, started the strike campaign this week. Commissioner of Education Paul GMiller put the question of raising funds to pay teachers adequate salaries squarely up to the legislature. "If the legislature takes the view that there is no money in the treasury with which to pay teachers, the answer is that the legislature is the only agency in Porto Rico that can put money in the treasury by proper revenue measures," said Commissioner Miller. "It is high time that teachers should have an addition of real cash rather than mere words of praise." Pictorial Record Taken of Navy Trans-Atlantic Flight By Associated JreBs) NEW YORK, June 24.
