Each operator was asked If he was

who had left and that the efficiency
OF the service had not been impaired a.

No Increase in Ten Years.
One OF the men who was dismissed
this morning stated that the Western
Union telegraph operators made about
SIS for an eight hours day OF work and
that two men in the company got SlOO a
month He said that the operators
could not live If it were not for the
overtime nay they received Ollie s.
Wilson. secretary Of the state fedora
tion OF labor stated that the rating OF
the Western Union operators was the
same now as it was ten years ago, Al
though living expenses have increased
their pay had not increased to meet
them
However this has nothing to do with
the averted strike. according to Wilson
Frazer, and the union members. They
are holding out for the right to organize
and are awaiting national legislation
concerning the telegraph companies
Within ten days, Frazer estimates the
union members will be back at work

have in their applications for the navy

all officials concerned stress the fact

are too Young to know what they are

still working for the Western Union
