The telephone company has repeated ly offered to submit the major question of wages to an impartial test before arbitrators to be selected from a panel named by the U. S. Department of La bor with the arbitration decision to be binding on both the company and the unions. But the unions have refused arbitra tion and are still striking-. Arbitration Is the Fair Course We believe that the wages telephone people get arc good. We want them that way. We are willing to prove them good to any fair-minded person. And we believe arbitration is the only course that is fair to the customer who pays the bill and the employee who does the work. Why won't the unions agree to arbi tration and get this strike settled? Union Demands Total $100,000,000 Telephone unions claim that telephone people aren't paid enough. They have demanded contract changes which would add $100,000,000 a year to the cost of providing telephone service on the coast. This is equal to a . . . $45 per year increase in each telephone bill . . . 40 percent increase in telephone rates. Company's Arbitration Offer Still Open We could not justify, to our customers, agreement to union demands which would be equal to an average of $45 a year added to each telephone bill. But we want to take the fair and reason able course . . . arbitration. Our offer to arbitrate still stands. We can see no reason why the unions are not willing to submit wages to the impartial test of arbitration and settle this strike. We appreciate the cooperation the pub lic has shown during this strike. ,lt has enabled us to give all the attention we can to emergency caljs. Thank you.
