STRIKE
IN MOSCOW AVERTED
OPERATORS WHO PLANNED TO
QUIT WORK FRIDAY GET
RAISE IN THEIR PAY

Moscow narrowly averted being
without telephone service next Fri
day. All arrangements had been
made for strike that would have tied
up the city and rural lines indefini-
tely, beginning Friday, August 1, but
the matter has been settled by the
company giving the girls a raise of
from $40 to SIS per month, and they
will remain on the job.
The concession of the company has
saved Moscow business interests and
Latah farmers from heavy loss and
serious inconvenience. Had the strike
been permitted the telephone ex-
change would have been closed and
the town and farming community
would have been without telephone
service. What this would have meant
to the farmers during harvest can be
better imagined than described.
For some time there has been much
discomfort among the employees of the
telephone company, because of low
wages paid. But the company In
sisted it could not pay higher sala-
ries and wages with the rates being
charged. An application for permis-
sion to increase the rates has been be-
fore the public utilities commission
for many months and it was hoped
by the management that the increase
would be allowed before it became
necessary to raise salaries. The girls
have been patiently waiting for the
increased rates to bring increased pay
to them, but the increase "came not"
and they resolved to seek other en-
ployment:
eve did not intend to strike" said /
one of the girls, when interviewed,
and the word "strike" seemed to have
an ugly sound to her, "but we planned
to get other employment. We were all
Of one mind and agreed that we would
leave the company and seek other
work after July 81. We got the
raise we asked for and the service will
not be interrupted"
c. J. ("Pop") Langdon, manager
If the company, said that the COM
3any had acceded to the demands of
he girls and had granted an increase
.anging from $40 to $15 per month,
making total increase in the operat-
ng expenses of $3.50 per month or
$500 per year. eve had hoped the
