Phone Strike Not Justified, Official Pointed To Press COOS BAY - The strike on the part of the employees of West Coast Telephone Company, oc curring at 7:00 a. m. tlw morn ing of July 21, is entirely unjus tified, Ray Dalton, vice-president and general manager of the com pany, stated early this week. The wages paid by the West Coast Telephone Co. and subsidiaries are among the highest paid by any independent telephone com pany in the United States. It has been the policy of this company to pay w’ages comparable to those being paid for jobs requiring equal skill in the territories serv ed by the company, Mr. Dalton continued. The company has offered wage increases of 11 cents per hour to the majority of its employees, eight cents of which would be retroactive to July 1, and three cents to become effective if and when approved by the Wage Sta bilization board. In addition the company has offered to increase the starting rates for all job classifications resulting in an In crease of 14c to 15c per hour For those employees. These increases, together with the increases in wages granted as of July 1, 1950, are equivalent to an increase of 12.3 per cent over those in effect in January 1950. This is in excess df the 10 per cent increase which has been authorized by the Wage Stabilization Board and would require its approval for the ad ditional amount before it coild be made effective. The increase offered is also in excess of the increased cost of living, which, according to the bureau of labor statistics indext, has increased only 10.2 per cent over January 15, 1950, Mr. Dalton pointed out. Any increase in the cost of op erations resulting from wage in creases, must of necessity be re flected i n increased telephone rates, Mr. Dalton stated, as the rate of return now being earned is inadequate. It is the company's obligation to the public and its employees to maintain wages which are fair and reasonable ffut not in excess of those being paid for comparable jobs in other in dustries. The company will endeavor to render the best possible service under the circumstances during this emergency, Mr. Dalton con cluded. — Local service in Brookings, on the dial board, has not been af fected, but outgoing calls are not being accepted unless these are of emergency nature.
