Five Years Too Long to Wait for
Full- Pay, Declare Operators
Before Local Conciliation.
OFFICIALS GIVE TESTIMONY
Money Used in Giving Added
Comforts to Strike Breakers
Is Under Incidentals, Is Said.
IMfference in wage scales developed as
the chief' controversy ' between7 the Pa
cific Telephone and Telegraph company
and its- striking employes at the hear
ing before the state board of concilia
tion In 'Library hall today. W. J. Phil
lips, division commercial superintendent ;
J. H. Corcoran, division traffic superin
tendent, and W. D. Moore, division plant
superintendent, appeared for the com
pany, and Thomas Lowry testified for
the employes.
.The operators request -that the maxi
mum . scale shouU become effective at
the end of two years' service, whereas
he company is now making it effective
at the end of five years. , In the case of
the men, the maximum in any particular
grade of work is attained at, the end
of three years. The men request that
this be changed to two years.
PER CENT NOBMAL
- W. J. Phillips-testified - that service
was about 90 per cent . normals. J :H.
Corcoran placed 4ti at between 85 and
90 per cent, this being for the traffic
"WV. D. Moore, asked as to the relative
efficiency of the line and repair serv
ice, stated that the company managed
to "practically handle all trouble. J.
H. Corcoran elaborated, on, his esti
mate by stating that in a time such as
this ' all ' the loyal employes put forth
a little.: more effort, in order, to ; keep
the service up to the highest possible
state . of efficiency. . , .
' Questions -wtre, asked regarding ' the
special 'attention paid J: the operators
now on' duty to maintain service, such
as paying a bonus of 1 per day and
providing' automobiles to carry the
girls to . and . from work-! J. -K. Ftynn,
by his - questioning - of Mr. Moore.
brought out the point that the extra
expenses incurred in meeting the situ
ation were regarded as Incidentals in
much the same manner as the extra
expense incurred by meeting "an
emergency such as a ' silver thaw.
Otto Hartwig, , by his , questioning,
brought out the fact" that the local of
ficials did have ; authority to use spe
cial ; : funds for meeting the strike
emergency but did not have authority
to use' funds for making a general in
crease ;in wages. -
C03IPJUI Y UPHOLDS SCALE

went Into .effect on June 16, and which
was announced Just-about the time the

air. jHOorep: stated. mat it wouia com
pare favorably wlth the . wages now
''being paid, by' other public service cor-
The matter ' of ',. buying supplies
through. . the Western' ; Electric : com
pany was taken; up with Mr. Moore,
whosetestlmony may be summed v up
as follows: That all investigations by
i disinterested parties had resulted in
the conclusion that - the agreement
whereby the Western-Electric was made
the purchasing agent -for' ? the . Pacific
"ompany. was to the best Interests of
t he Pacific company ; ; that it ' enabled
this company to place Its order along
with all the companies of the Bell sys
tem, thereby . obtaining the favorable
price resulting from quantity orders ;
that this company by the agreement se
cured the benefit of the purchasing
power of the Western Electric company
and avoided the necessity of ware
house, and. supply department; - that, in
emergencies supplies . could be bought
hastily through this organization and
in any large quantity without the ne
cessity of establishing a local Organ
ization .to buy the supplies and distrib
ute them in the localities where they
were needed i and that in such emer
gencies, the cost of creating this extra
organisation : would be 25 per cent
greater than the cost at present under
the contract with the Western Electric.
GRIEVANCE BOARD ASKED
In the matter of grievances, the em
ployes are asking for a grievance board
to consist of one employe., one company
official and one person chosen by the
two Mr. Moore stated that the present
system of handling grievances was by
application of the aggrieved to, the im
mediate superior: that If this brought
no satisfaction," the matter was carried
up as far as necessary by the brother
hood of flcials ; that the proposed change
would necessitate the. establishment of
boards all over the ' territory covered by
the company and that it would ; result
in a-; great jnany Imaginary, grievances
being, taken up In cases where no action
should logically be taken but would be
demanded by the employe who would
likely be hard ; to convince that his
grievance was only imaginary. ' ,
