Ends York' Teacher Strike tow Pickets Vithdraw; Schools Reooen Without Incident New York -1'PH- Nearly 20, 000 striking public school teachers returned to their classrooms today after a one day walkout that was ended by a state Supreme Court in junction. A spokesman for the Board of Education reported that all schools opened this morning without incident. Picket lines which were withdrawn Wednesday night under threat of arrest, were not reestab lished. Union leaders reluctantly complied with an injunction which forbade continuation of the strike in any form. The writ was obtained by the Board of Education under the state Condon-Wadlin law i which outlaws strikes by pub. lie employees. Outbreaks By Students . The decision ended a bitter one-day walkout that led to outbreaks by students in un-dcr-s u p c r v i sed classrooms across the city. The United Federation of Teachers which called the strike when its demands for a S53 million pay package were rejected, agreed early today to obey the injunction obtain ed by the Board of Education. The strike, which affected nearly all of the city's 840 public schools, came to an end after a stormy, seven-hour meeting of the union's execu tive board. Entailed Penalties, Fines UFT President Charles Cog en said the union agreed to the court order because it "entailed penalties of jail sentences and severe fines for the rank and file teachers." The injunction that ended the walkout was granted by State Supreme Court Justice William C. Hecht who said that "teachers, as profession als dealing in a vital public service, are barred from striking on the same grounds as are doctors, nurses, police men and firemen." More than half of the city's 39,681 teachers joined in the walkout and the resulting lack of supervision led to riots in several classrooms which were transformed into scenes resembling those from the film "Blackboard Jungle." Teachers Helpless The worst trouble was at Seward Park High school on the lower East side, where 1, 000 of the school's 3,500 pu pils went on a rampage. The 40 teachers who were inside the school stood help lessly while students ran screaming through the corri dors, throwing books, eggs, and cartons of water at one another. . Similar disturbances were reported at a number of other schools and extra police were called in to crush the brawls. Negotiations which failed to resolve the dispute were carried on in an atmosphere of mounting resentment, ag gravated by a political hassle between Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner and Rcpub- lican Gov. Nelson A. Rocke feller over state financial aid to education.

Dun. can (D-Mcdford), declared here Wednesday night. Addressing a local pi the United Stcelworkcrs of America. Duncan said steel companies "have in effect told everyone in the United States that they have no concern or responsibility for the interest of the public." They have not only broken faith with the United Steel workers, who exercised ad mirable restraint in recent ne gotiations to prevent another inflationary cycle, but have broken faith with each of us," he said. Duncan, seeking the Demo cratic nomination for the fourth district seat in con gress, said the steel firms have "added a burden of millions of dollars to our national debt to say nothing of the loss of purchasing power that will hit the average citizen hard." , Duncan said he has no doubt that 'corrective action in some form will be taken, probably through use of the anti-trust laws. Manifest abuses have always resulted in public counteraction, and there is no reason not to ex pect the same reaction in this situation."
