Nearly 1000 Calls Promptly Answered
at the Telephone e Exchange Yesterday.
The young ladies VINO manipulate the
switch board at the Telephone Exchange
had a busy day of it yesterday. There
are seven Of them who work on the board
and by their extraordinary skill and
quickness they managed to answer 6, 629
calls yesterday between o'clock in the
morning and in the evening, which is
an average of SOP calls an hour, or 79
calls to each operator or nearly II calls
per minute. This remarkable service by
the fair and deft fingers could be
improved 80 per cent, Manager Mehaffey
says il the subscribers would observe the
rules Of telephOning, of which there are
only few. In many cases the young
ladies' have to furnish ears. eyes and
brains to those who call The greatest
difficulty arises from those persons who
do not ascertain the number they want
before they call For instance, sub
scriher will call "Give me John Smith,
and the young ladies of the Exchange,
while they know the business very well,
do not pretend TO know the number OF
every subscriber from to $50 She will
reply to the subscriber: "What is
his numberY' Then will ensue
hunt for the number All
this time there are five or six other calls
on the same board for the same operator
and problem arises, when will the fifth
or sixth man be attended TO- Another
great trouble and cause Of delay is the
neglect Of subscribers to ring off when
they have finished a conversation
Manager Mehaffey strikes an average
twice year, keeping a record Of the
calls in three days of two weeks in the
year. The average last time was about
1000 It win be much greater this time.
but this is an exceptionally busy period.
Another source Of annoyance is the
habit OF some subscribers when com
planning to the Exchange of saying all
manner of hard things to the young
ladies which they would not think Of
saying to them personally. The enor
nous work which the record shows is a
high compliment to the young ladies at
tention to work. To do it requires per
feet control Of ones self and allows no
time whatever for anything but a strict
attention to duty. 1t is constant strain
upon theoperators and they are perhaps
the hardest worked young women in the
city,
