Today Telephone Properties
Are Returned
After a year of Federal control, the telephone property, which
makes up the Bell telephone svstem, is todav returned to its owners bv
the United States Government.
While the property has been propcrlv maintained, it is not the
same property which the (Jovcrninent took over on August 1, 191S. It
is not as adequate for its job or as well manned as it was; that it is not
is in no way the fault of Federal control which was eminently fair. It
is due to causes for which neither the Government nor the Com
panies are to blame. A year ago today we were at war. Labor and
materials needed for both telephone ojieration and construction were
turned to military uses. Such materials were so vital to the earning on
of the war that even the work of providing telephone facilities for the
Government was retarded and no part of them could be spared for the
commercial telephone purposes. No less vital was the Government need
tor those skilled to create, maintain and operate the vast inter-connnuni-cation
systems neccssarv in modern warfare and in the conduct of the
vastly increased Government services.
Thousands of telephone men were alreadv at the battle front,
thousands more were under arms, and still telephone experts and skill
ed operators went into the service of the Government and contributorv
industries by the tens of thousands. The reserves of plant and equip
ment were drawn upon until thev were eutiielv used up, and the ex
perienced staff was gradually depleted. To find others to take the
place of those who had gone was difficult; to train them takes time.
During the year came Victory and the armistice, and instantlv the bus
iness world sprang into intense activity. The demands for 'telephone
service passed all former records. To replace the exhausted reserves
which had been carried for just such purposes and to replace the skill
ed forces to riieet this unprecedented emergency there began a rush for
construction, for readjustment for high pressure repairs, for feverish
extensions. All these must be continued with increasing effort. The
return of the property comes in the verv midst of this race between an
overpowering demand and an upbuilding of a svstem whose growth was
held back and whose forces were scattered bv the vital needs of war.
Much progress has been made in the upbuilding of this svstem. but
tar more s still required to meet the swift growth of business; and also
to give "First aid" to every other business and every other service
struggling against an unprecedented demand. The prosperitv which
creates this emergency in service creates also a scarcity of those desir
ing employment in the service. Under such conditions telephone ser
vice generally has not been and could not be up to the pre-war standard.
Jt is beyond human power to immediately overcome the handicap which
the situation imposes. There are no people in anv public or private en
deavor who are working more tirelessly or strenuously for the common
good than those of the telephone companies. Service has alwavs been
given, more of it must be given, and it must be improved. That im
provement in some cases will take months. Eventually service must win
the race with demand. '
