The Western Union telegraph COM
pany has offered a bonus to about L.
600 manager-operators in small cities
and towns for each junior operator

This unusual step arises out of the
extraordinary growth in the use Of the

which its standards require.
Any person-man or woman-over
the age Of. sixteen and with the requi-
site education and intelligence can
become a junior operator. The COM
pany provides the necessary instruc-
ton free. When the junior grade is
reached, employment is assured.
In the larger cities, telegraph
schools are already maintained for
teaching operators. These, however,
have not been able to turn out suffl-
cient number Of trained men and won.

mands. It Is now sought TO give per-

raphy either by exclusive APPLICATION

ployment
