The providers of this service must not only meet the market prices for materials. They must also maintain at any cost a high standard of work manship. ' Because of advancing prices, the telephone dollar goes only half as faras it did ten yearsago. More than three-fifths of this, dollar is necessarily expended for wages. Less would neither attract nor hold the high-grade .workers essential to maintain America's standards. That Ikll telephone rates have advanced much less than other prices is largely, due to economies in methods and ap paratus that have been developed and introduced. It is also because the proportion of operating plant built nt pre-war prices is still large, though this is steadily decreasing because of new con struction made necessary by the nation's telephone needs.
