Reasons For Telephone Strike
1
I
f
For more than thirty years ADMIRATION Cof-
fee has given complete satisfaction to an ever
growing number of consumers because its
extra-abundant flavor, aroma and richness
are always uniform. The personally "Cup-
Tested" ADMIRATION way is the only way to
assure that perfection of quality that never
varies from package to package . . , and
makes "Cup-Tested" ADMIRATION the blend
of connoisseurs.
lour hours a day, and we believe
adequate compensation by virtu re
of this unusual requ reinent is
fair and proper in the way of
reasonable differentials foi work
on Saturdays and Sundays.
(5) The telephone workeds
have been trying to avert this
strike since November, 1946, but
the Southwestern Bell.Telephone
Company has refused consistent-
ly to make counter proposals.
The Company has not budged and
forced us to use the oniy means
left to us by which we can hope
to obtain fair wages, and decent
working conditions.
(6) The Southwestern Bell
Telephone Company is the larg-
est single employer in Southwest,
having almost 50,000 employees
and in many towns and cities is
largest employer of citizens in
the community. The Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company is the
industrial giant of the Southwest.
(7) The Company has rejected
/he Union’s proposal to provide
emergency service to the public
when ever and where ever the
public safety and serious illness
or loss of life is involved.
(1) The telephone workers are age seven days a week twenty-
attempting to obtain for them-
selves an increase in wages made
imperative by the increase in liv-
ing cost during the last year rang-
ing in the several towns and cities
from twenty -to thirty per cent
which has meant an actual re-
duction in earnings of this
amount.
(2) Telephone workers are now
being paid from four to nine
dollars per week less than the
average wage of other workers in
the larger industries.
(3) Most telephone operators
are paid from twenty-five to thir-
ty dollars per week which can not
provide them with a decent and
healthy living. Working condi-
tions are as important to tele-
phone workers, as wages. The
Pension Plan provides a mini-
mum pension of fifty dollars per
month but through Social Secur-
ity deductions from the pension
the Company has reduced the
pension by as much as one-half
or $25.00 per month.
(4) The telephone business is
one of the few major industries
which requires employee cover-
a
with one demand and
of suggestions.
The demand was that the Saar
area of Germany be cecL. d to
France at once, and the suggest-
ions a ill be that the Foreign Min-
ister cons der the establishment
of independent states in the Ruhr
and the Rhineland.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., April
10 (ZP) — The United States has
demanded that the security coun-
cil defer action on the Russian
proposal which would place Am-
erican aid to Greece under
United Nations Supervision.
The American position was
stated by United States Delegate
Warren Austin in a long reply to
Andrei Gromyko’s attack on the
Truman program.
Austin said the council should
take no action on the Russian
proposal until after Congress had
approved the Truman plan and
agreements had been reached be-
tween the United States and
Greece and Turkey, said Austin:
“We would then be in a posi-
tion to judge calmly and objec-
tively and in the spirit of un
animity which I hope will pre-
vail in this council, the merits of
the Soviet proposal.”
At the same time, Austin ask-
ed immediate approval of a pro-
posal of his own. Austin wants
the UN Balkan Commission to
leave representatives to watch
over the troubled situation in
northern Greece until the coun-
he ’ kept!^as acted on the commission’s
ANNAPOLIS, Md„ (ZP)—When
Minnie, Annapolis’ best-known
eat, died after fourteen years of
motherhood, she was credited
with leaving three hundred kit-
tens, as well as their kittens,
their kittens’ kittens and their
kjttens’ kittens’ kittens.
Three lines iwere placed in her
coffin as she lay in state at an
Annapolis grocery store and the
town turned out to pay its last
respects.
No one knows exactly how
many relatives Minnie had, but
the proprietor swears 1
careful count of her own 300 chil-
dren.
Minnie, he says, had a litter
every nine weeks for 14 years.

A Message To Telephone Customers
We regret that telephone ser-
vice has been interrupted by a
strike. We did everything within
reason to prevent it and we are
willing to do anything within
reason to end it. ,
The Telephone Company pays
wages in any community that
compare favorably with those
paid by other firms for work of
equal skill and training. For ex-
ample, in Mt. Pleasant the start-
ing wage for operators with no
experience is $26.00 a week. After
seven years they reach the top
rate of $34.00 per week. • *
The Union has demanded that
the starting rate be raised to
$41.00 a week for operators with
no experience, and that after
four years they should reach
a top rate of $51.00 a week. That
is an increase of from $15.00 to
$17.00 per week, or about fifty
percent.
The Company, in an effort to
prevent the strike, and in fairness
to everyone, offered to have the
wage question arbitrated by an
impartial panel approved by the
Governors of five states in iwhich
we operate.
The Union has not, as yet, ac-
cepted this offer though it was
made several days prior to the
strike. Since the strike started,
the Company has offered to
Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.

LOS ANGELES, April 10 (IP)—
Most of Southern California has
been racked by an earthquake
which scientists said they sus-
pected was most severe in the
Imperial Valley. The shock was
felt at 10:58 a. m. eastern stand-
aid time and it lasted almost a
minute. There were no immedi-
ate reports but, key points from
Pasadena to El Centro disclosed
no severe damage.
The temblor was described as
severe at the California Insti-
tute of Technology seismological
laboratory at Pasadena. Scien-
tists at the laboratory said that
their only immediately available
instrument had been thrown off
broaden arbitration to include
some other union demands, such
as the length of time for em-
ployees to reach top wage rates,
and wage differentials between
different communities. Other is-
sues raised by the union, such as
a complete Union Shop, check-
off, jurisdiction of work, and the
like, are not proper subjects for
arbitration. The Union has not
accepted the broader offers.
Total demands of the Uni^n
would cost the Company an esti-
mated $60,000,000 a year, or more
than three times as much as the
net income last year. This is the
equivalent of almost $3.00 per
month per telephone subscriber/
We feel this strike cannot be justi-
fied.
Telephone people are well paid,
with the h gest wages in tele-
phone history, which compare
favorably with wages paid to
people of similar skill in other
industries. This strike is particu-
larly not justified in the face of
cnir offer to have the wage ques-
tion summarized to fair and im-
partial arbitration.
Wje appreciate the public’s co-
operation and we regret, exceed-
ingly, the inconveniences and
hardships which the strike is
causing many telephone users.

shock.
The quake was felt as far away
as Phoenix, Arizona, where per- |
sons in downtown hotels and
office buildings experienced al
slight swaying motion of the
structures.
