5, 1970 Disneyland Hit By Trouble With Labor ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Disneyland is in the throes of serious labor trouble for the first time in its 15-year history. A month ago, many of the men and women who sing ytyi dance in such musical revues as the Kids of the Kingdom and the Indian Ceremonial Dance walked off the stages. The huge amusement park continued to operate. But now, the 55 men who run and repair the complex talking figures at such major presentations as the Haunted House and the Pirates of the Caribbean are threatening to strike Sunday.

Union leaders say Disneyland activities cannot go on without the repairmen. Park officials say they can. In both cases, the main issue is wages. Singers, dancers and character actors walked off their jobs Aug. 9.

They are members of the American Guild of Variety of more than 30 labor organizations that represent the some 6,200 Disneyland ployes. Disneyland officials say they will continue to operate the park without the singers, dancers and repairmen. A shutdown could severely cut down the earnings of Walt Disney Productions. Officials estimate the park produces revenues of more than $1.25 million a week. Operating costs are about $1 million a week, they said.

The 29 AGVA members on members are still they are underpaid. For example, the 10 American Indians who danced at Frontierland say their weekly wage of $135 is not enough for 11 shows a day, six days a week. Union negotiators have demanded $300 a week for musical performers, $350 for Indian dancers and $175 for character performers like Bear. They say the demands are negotiable. Wages now range from $82 to $225 a week.

The electronic technicians, members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, voted to strike Sunday unless they get an hourly raise of $1 over two years. Disneyland officials say they grant that demand because 18 other unions signed a master agreement for a 70 cent hourly boost over two years. Illinois Strikes Teacher Dwindle By THE ASSOOATED PRESS The number of school cistricts in Illinois whose teachers are on strike was reduced to six Friday as striking teachers signed a contract for base pay of $7,400 and a 5.2 per cent increase for each year of teaching experience up to 14. Strikes continued in Urbana, Bloomington, East St. Louis, Collinsville and the Saline County communities of Galatia and Eldorado.

The Rockford teachers stayed off their jobs three days before agreeing to the new contract, the first two-year contract to be SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) Marxist Sen. Salvador Allende took the lead in crucial presidential election Friday night with about one-third of the votes coimted. Allende, who could be Latin first freely elected Marxist president, had 344,571 votes according to official returns. Running second was former president Jorge Alessandri, an independent conservative, with 319,611. The third candidate, Ra- domiro Tomic running for the ruling Christian Democrats, trailed with 235,156.

With three candidates in the race, it was possible that none would receive the majority of popular votes necessary to win. In that case, Congress would pick the president from the top two men on Oct. 24. Election officials said the turnout was bigger than expected, even voting is compulsory in this copper-rich country of nine million people. Women, who make up 49 per cent of the electorate, flocked to vote.

Allende, a 62-year-old senator, was making his fourth attempt for the presidency. Backed by a coalition of six leftist groups, including his own Socialist party and the large Communist party, he was trying to improve on his 1964 showing when he polled 38.9 per cent of the vote. Alessandri, 74, who served as president from 1958 to 1964, ran as an independent with solid conservative backing. Tomic, 56, a former ambassador to Washington, was the candidate of ruling party.

Niles teachers approved a con tract for base pay of $8,000.
