Do PICKET DUTY AT
AMERICAN BUILDING
Girls Influenced not
to Apply for Telephone
Jobs-Operators of Local
Union Meet in Bellows
Falls-Miss Matte Bald
win of BrattleborO Elected
Vice President

Two features stand out today in the
situation in Brattleboro with respect
to the strike of the union employees of
the New England Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. One is the increase in the
local operating force by two persons,
making total of four, not including
the manager. and the other is the es-
tablishing of picket service at the en-
trance to the American building, which
to a certain extent was in force yester-
day afternoon. C
There was no night service from 10
O'Clock last night until o'clock this
morning, but when the exchange opened
this morning there were two new opera
tors on hand, besides the chief opera
tor and information operator, who
have been on duty all through the
trouble.
This has made it possible to answer
some calls not of an emergency nature.
These have been calls of business
character. Occasionally someone takes
advantage of the situation and tries to
make out that his or her call is very
important, when in fact it is only or
binary
All day today several of the striking
operators have been on picket duty at
the main entrance TO the American
building, and few girls who came
to the building with the intention of
applying for positions as operators have
| been influenced to leave without max
ing application This is being done in
all the larger places.
When girl arrives at the entrance of
the building if it is thought likely that
she may be after a position as oper
ator the picket girls ask her if that is
her errand. The operators realize that
the girl is not obliged TO state what
her business is, but nine times out of
| ten she will do so. and if she saws she
wants TO see the telephone manager or
is after a telephone job she is ad-
vised to go away, and the scheme usu-
| ally works.
The striking operators have only the
best of feeling for Manager r. J. Ed
ridge, they say g He is only doing his
duty and we haven t any wish to cause
him trouble, said one of the pickets
