After-T he-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service

The reconstruction problems which confront all
telephone companies and which seriously affect
your telephone service are not confined solely to
the operating features of the business.
The difficulty we are experiencing In building
UP an enlarged operating force to handle the m
creased traffic load is equally serious among our
male employees, particularly In the plant organl-
cation.
More than $50 OF our most skilled, trained.
technical men volunteered for service IN the army
and the majority of them are still In Europe. Very
few have returned and we cannot expect the bal
ance to return soon. Few men OF this type have
been available and those we are training by no
means equal our demand. This shortage of expe-
rienced men hampers our extensions and delays
installations.
Certain features Of our work can be done only
by experienced technical men and often when we
had equipment on hand we could not secure sui
6cient labor to install it promptly. This has been
true in the simpl matter of installing and moving
telephone stations.
The delays and inconvenience have proved an
moving to our subscribers and have been reflected
in our service. We are striving in every way
known to our experience 10 overcome and pre-
vent them.
AltnOuRn the STRESS On actual WdIIdEC - OVCLs
the problems Of reconstruction cause the situation
confronting our service to be more serious than
when fighting was IN progress. We deem it our
duty to make this frank statement so you will UNI
derstand why our service has not returned to Its
standard of pre-war efficiency.
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the SUI
pervsion of the Postmaster General. and our loyal
organization is making patriotic effort to perfect
the service. Your continued cooperation and en-
couragement will be appreciated.

There is a plain underbodice of

The long pointed tunic and the very
