Out of every dollar spent by the telephone company, 72 cents is turned over to its employees in the form of compensa tion. It is our purpose to retain competent and experienced em ployees. An efficient and contented organization is the main factor in good service. The deficit in earnings which we have experienced in Oregon has been largely augmented by necessary increases to our em ployees. It will be of interest to our Oregon patrons to know what our increased expense for salaries and wages in Oregon have been since 1916 as shown in one of the exhibits filed with the Public Service Commission in connection with our recent application for an increase in telephone rates. Increase in Wages of Plant employees, Present over 1916 $307,000 Increase in wages of Traffic (operating) employees, Present over 1916 681,000 Increase in wages of Commercial employees, Present over 1916 98,000 Total Annual Increase in Wages, - - - $1,086,000 Although these large increases in wages have been made they represent a 60 increase over pre-war wages, as compared with increases of over 100 in many trades and occupations re quiring no greater skill o preparation on the part of the worker. We do not think our awwoyees' wages should be reduced under present conditions or imOmr conditions now possible to forecast. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. J
