NEW YORK, February 13.-An increase
of 10 per cent. in the salaries of telc-
graph operators at the company's prin-
cipal offices throughout the country was
announced by the Western Union Tele.
graph Company to-day.
Tho announcement or the increase In
salaries was made In a letter from Robt
G. Clowry, president of the company, tc
the general supcrlntendents, 3. Brooks
New York; r.. p. Cook, Chicago; Frank
Jayncs, San Francisco, and J. Levin, At.
lanta. The letter reads as follows:
This company has received pett-
lions within the last sixty days from
sixteen offices in the West and South
west, asking for an increase of ten
per cent. in the salaries OF employees.
These petitions have been given care
full consideration, bearing in mind
that the company could not discrimi-
nate in favor Of few offices. but that
any action taken should be general.
In this connection it has been nee
cssary to consider the enormously
increased cost of all kinds Of telc-
graph material, which, in many cases,
has been from fifty to one hundred
per cent, while the tariff rates on
messages and other traffic are very
low in view of the demands OF the
public for ever-increasing facilities
and more rapid service. In fact many
OF these rates are relics OF former
ruinous competition and are unprofit-
able Notwithstanding these facts the
company has decidedsto increase tho
salaries of operators at Its principal
offices throughout the country ten per
cent. from March /, 1901"
