. The Board of Directors in making the 1944'Annual Report'to the shareholders presented it also id tHe men and women - -,.
pf the company and to the public which it has the responsibility and privilege to serve. Copies of the report are. available
V at any of the company's business offices or at the Secretary's, office. . .'
EXCERPTS FROM THE 1944 ANNUAL REPORT
living as we all are in a period in which a stupendous sweep of history is taking place, so big that it obscures a full com
prehension of it and so diffused that it is difficult to envision the full significance of its impact, our company has continued to
do its utmost during the past year to play its full and effective part in our Nation's attainment of decisive Victory in the dire
world-wide conflict into which we were plunged.
"Geared to full war tempo with increasing emphasis on military activities throughout and directed from the Pacific Coast,
the demands for telephone communication continue toiexceed previous record levels. With its tremendously increased and
mobile population and teeming with unprecedented activity, the territory of the five Pacific Coast .states in which our com
pany operates has rapidly developed into one of the most important strategic, military and production sections 'of our
Country. , .
"As shown . . . from each of our Annual Reports, 1940 to date, the all-out war effort of our company has been woven and
interwoven in the warp and woof of its operations. In fact, the Fall of 1939 saw our sights lifted over the horizon beyond
which were ominous clouds that cast the impending gloom of oncoming conflict. Throughout this entire period, our com
pany has been put to a test as never before and its ability to serve under the stress and strain of war has been outstandingly
strengthened, as it has been over the many years, since 1880, by its membership in the Bell System. : .
"There is no period throughout its entire his
tory which is comparable to that of the last five
years, 1940 to 1944, inclusive, in its tremendous
expansion which, through its all-out war effort,
has required gross plant additions aggregating
more than $276,000,000, with the net result that
at the end of the year the investment in its tele
. phone plant had reached the huge total of $651,
.669,679, or one-third more than it was on Janu
ary 1,1940.
"Since January 1, 1940, our net telephone in.
crease has totaled 640,223 telephones, or 33 per
cent, a five-year period unequalcd in telephone
demand in the history of our company. Our net
telephone increase for tho year was only 19,853
telephones, considerably less than for any year
since 1933, and compares with the 1943 net in
crease of 187,002 telephones, tho highest of rec
ord. There were at the end of the year
224,573 pending applications for main tele
phones, 96 per cent of which were for residence
service.
"Toll and long distance calls reached a record
total of more tlion 289,700,000 calls, an increase '
of more than 29,000,000 calls, or 12 per cent,
over 1943, which year the previous all-time
high was 27 per cent over 1942. Since January
1, 1940, the volume of this traffic has increased
124 per cent. The longer haul calls, originating
in and destined beyond our territory, have in
creased almost ten-fold from 797,000 calls in
1940 to more than 7,737,000 calls in 1944.
"In the last five years, due to the tremendous
- volume of wartime traffic and the unprecedented
telephone demand, the number of our employees
has increased 13,536, or 45 per cent. The number
of employees on our payrolls at the end of the
year was 43,534, the highest of record.
"The payroll for the year was an all-time high
and exceeded a hundred million dollars, totaling
$104,043,347, an increase of $10,306,606, or 11
per cent, over 1943. It waa higher than tha year
1940 by $44,382,262, or 74 per cent
"The earnings of our company on invested
capital long-term debt and shareholders1
equity not only have been declining, but also
are on the low side as compared with many other
businesses. Earnings on its average invested cap
ital in 1940 were 6.06 per cent and in 1944 they'
had declined to 5.79 per cent. Although costs of
operation have risen sharply, adversely affecting
its net earnings, our company has had no in
creases in its price levels nor has it profited by
its large volume of business, but to the contrary,
rates have been reduced which, since January 1,
1940, have resulted in savings to our customers,
based on 1944 usage, aggregating $15,000,000
annually,
"Promptly meeting as we have all telephone
requirements vital to the war effort, it is a matter
of deep regret and great concern to us that the
unavoidable physical limitations of our plant
have prevtMtcd us from meeting fully the civilian
telephone demand. We dislike to tell people that
they have to wait for telephone service, put due
to the limited quantities of telephone equipment
being manufactured for non-war use, it now ap
pears that we will not be able in the near future
to fill promptly all applications. The winning
of the war in the shortest possible time, of course,
comes first. The amounts and kinds of equipment
which will become available to us will depend
upon the extent of and the time involved in the
shifting from war to civilian production of the
manufacture and of the manpower now engaged
in direct production for our urmed forces.
"As we now visualize our forthcoming wort,
our postwar requirements will be such that it
will be necessary to make plant expenditures ag
gregating more than $175,000,000, an increase)
of more than $25,000,000 over the amount so
estimated a year ago. The construction programs
may well be the largest for the first few years
after the war that our company has. ever experi
enced and they will require an extraordinary
amount of new capital, the yearly amounts fi
nanced being dependent upon business and eco
nomic conditions and the availability to us of
material, manpower and money.
"Our company has the duty and obligation to
welcome home tie men and women in uniform
and so to direct its operations that it plays its ef- -fective
part in providing full employment for
them immediately upon their return. We havo
given that assurance to our personnel. w"a
have also the community responsibility so to
handle our affairs that the veterans of the war
will, on their return, have and hold all that tha
cause of freedom signifies. To be capable of
doing its full part, our company must, of neces
sity, be-able financially to offer the employment
opportunities which not only create hope and
enthusiasm for the future, but also make for '
home and happiness through 'work and liveli
hood for Villing hands.' , ,
"We have before us not only the responsibil
ity, with all of its exactions, but also the oppor
tunity to continue to render an indispensable
service, with constantly improving standards, to
a great section of a great democracy, conceived
and dedicated to the public service. To serve as
it should, our company must continue to contrib
ute to make our Nation and the world a better
place in which to live. In so doing, we go for- '
ward with the firm belief that a great service, ef
ficiently and economically rendered, will con
tinue to be received and recognized in accord
ance with the ideals and traditions of the great
est of all human enterprises tlio American way
of life."
For the Directors,
i. President. :
