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.
