Wt'v negotiated now for more than two months. But the strike situation is, at best, con fusing. There are seventeen telephone unions on the coast. It's difficult to reconcile the widely differing demands of several unions and reach a basis for a settlement that is fair to all con cerned. More than 1 8,000 of our employees are working strenuous shifts, night and day, to keep service going. We appreciate, deeply, their recognition of the public interest. And we believe telephone users appreciate it, too. . , Fairness must be the foundation of any settle ment. The final agreement must be fair to tele phone employees whose skill and energy make service possible . . . and it must be fair to tele phone customers who, in the last analysis, pay the costs of service.
