Where Does
The Telephone Strike
Stand Today?
1. Why Is There a Telephone
Strike?
The unions made large demands. We could not
agree to these demands but offered to extend
contracts while bargaining continued. But the
unions refused. We then offered to arbitrate
the basic issue, wages. The unions again re­
fused and went out on strike.
your Lubrication
MAN?
2,..What Are the Unions
Demanding?
They are demanding scores of changes in con
tracts which would, if granted, amount to an
increase of more than $100,000,000 a year in
the cost of telephone service.
When having your automobile lubricated it
is very important to know the man you have do
it
Is he firmly established with a reputation for
square dealing? Is he really conscientious about
giving you complete and first class lubrication?
This amount is five times our 1946 earnings.
The man who handles our lubrication depart­
ment, Jerry Pettit, has been picked and trained to
give your car personalized Ford service. Every
member of our staff takes personal pride in pro­
perly serving our customers.
It would m akeour payroll alone larger than all
the money we took in last year.
3. What Do These Demands
Mean to Telephone Users?
Drive in today and let us give your car a com­
plete lubrication job. You’ll be pleased with the
clean, efficient manner in which it is done.
The union demands equal $4$ per year added
to each telephone bill . . . A 40 per cent in­
crease in all telephone rates-

From where I s it... / / Joe Marsh
//
Cy Harl man filially got hl« new
barn painted, but plenty of folk«
had a hand in it. Whenever some­
one got a free day. or a little extra
time, they’d come over and help
out with paint and brush.
And Cy, to show his apprecia­
tion, held a big “barn wanning ’
Saturday— for all the folks who’d
helped him (but not barring those
who couldn’J ). Ma Ilm tin an sup­
plied sandwiches, and Cy rolled
out a mellow keg of beer.
You’d never think of a ham as
“homelike.’* But with tho«e lanlern«

hanging from the rafters: make­
shift tables spread heavy with
food; and Ed Carey’s fiddle play­
ing while the folks enjoyed their
beer—Cy’« barn was sure a mighty
hospitable-looking place!

diudit-> show telephone wages arc in line with
those paid for other jobs on the coast requiring
similar skill and training . . , telephone wage
rates now average $8 per cent above the 1941
level. Here arc typical examples:
OPERATORS: Even a girl right out of school starts
at a basic rate of $30 a week while learning— in
small towns, $28 to $29. Actual earnings are higher
due to overtime and premium pay. There are frequent
pay raises, too. At the end of the first year the
new operator can be earning over $1900 a year.
A supervising operator can earn over $2700 per
year working a 5-day week.
tions up to three weeks depending on length of
service. . .holidays with pay. . . sickness and
death benefits. . .pension. . . good working con­
ditions.
And telephone work is steady work. . . The
kind a person can count on.
6. Why Can’t the Company Agree
To Union Demands?
Wages and other costs of service are paid by
the people who use the telephone. We can’t
give blanket agreement to the unions’ huge de­
mands because we cannot justify them to our
customers who pay the hill.
7. How Has The Company Tried
To End the Strike?
We wanted to extend the liberal working con­
tracts while bargaining conti tued. but the
unions refused. We repeatedly offered to sub­
mit the wage question. . the basic issue. . . to
arbitration, but the unions continue to refuse.
We have offered the unions a practical plan to
settle the strike. . . . a plan that is fair equally
to our employees, investors and customers.
8. When Will the Strike Be Over?
We don 1 Know. But we believe that no matter
how long the strike lasts, it is in the public in­
terest to face it rather than to capitulate to
the unions’ huge demands which would require
large increases in telephone rates.
Meanwhile we will continue to do our best to
handle your calls-
Calls from dial to dial telephones, which make
up the bulk of calls in many cities, are com­
pleted without interruption, many calls which
require the service of an operator are also being
completed.
PLANT M AINTENANCE MEN: Actual earnings
of many experienced men last year were more than
$5000.
Many telephone company people are working
days and nights on strenuous shifts to keep ser­
vice going. They have been joined by many
Others who put the public interest first. We
appreciate This loyalty.
The basic rate for inexperienced men is $34 at the
start and scales up to $72. Overtime and premium
pay arc in addition.
We wish to thank the public for their helpful
cooperation during this troublesome period.

if only because it’s another chance
to get neighbors together in a
spirit of good fellowship.
