Why Union Is a Necessity
 For Telephone Operators
(Continued from Page seven)

Since I started to write this article New England operators have set a strike date, a date long overdue in the minds of all our operators. How it will turn out I do not presume to say, but the papers tell us the Army will man the switchboard.
 Who belongs to the Army. Are they not our brothers and our friends. Let the company cover our places if they can, but at least l feel free to say that MT. Burleson would do well to find out how we girls bought Liberty bonds-long after 1t hurt-yes, and sold them. too. We do not need to boast of our work during the war. 1t speaks for itself.
 will never forget the girls to whom l sold the Fourth Liberty bonds They were shamed not to strong and they thought it well worth going without good times, "just until the raise goes in," they said.
 We do not fear that the public will think us unpatriotic.
 We will not bring the Southern New England operators out in this strike because we have not served notice on this company, the vote will not be taken until this week and we intend to take care of the girls who are dismissed so there is no reason for rushing into a strike: we will call 1t when we are ready; unless the company sees it to reinstate the Rfris and give the union a fair deal.
 If we get the new wage scale in New England. we will also get 1t for Southern New England. So far I have received the assurance of the New England locals that they are ready to support us in every way and ehsy are taking & keen interest in the situation here.
