After-the-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service

While the nation was under the stress III
cidcnu to winning the war, we asked our sub
sclibcrS and the public to be patient with the
telephone service and to limit its use as much as
practicable III order that we might handle the
urgent business Of the nation efficiently.
Now that tic aimiStcc has been signed and
hostiliticy ha9r coascd we are confronted with
the problems Of tIlc reconstruction period, which
are equally as serious and which will require
time and patience for solution.
The abnormal increase in the volume of tele-
phone calls due to WAL activities created need
for a greater number of operators and we have
been diligently building up an enlarged operat-
ing force When this situation was very we'll in
hand last fall the influenza epidemic played hay
oc with our forces and our losses from illness
and death arc still alarming. AS result of this
combination Of circumstances, the percentage
of new and inexperienced operators is large and
there is now serious shortage although our
training schools are graduating large classes
every month
Although our service has suffered from
these causes the public has been eonsdcratc and
we have been able to handle a heavier traffic
than seemed humanity possible and have installed
promptly and operated efficiently the telephone
camps and other similar institutions.
The situation confronting our service is
more serious now than it was when fighting was
in progress. The public has relaxed from its
tension and is inclined to expect our service to
at once assume its prcWar efficiency. We deem
1t our duty to make this frank statement and
urge you to continue the conservation Of the ser
vice which proved so helpful during the time of
our nations greatest need
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the
supervision Of the Postmaster General, and our
loyal organization is making a patriotic effort
to perfect the service Your continued coop
