Securing and Training Skilled Workers

All telephone employees are skilled workers.
 They are taught, trained and given practi- cal experience by the Company. The Company maintains schools to teach and train new employees. paying them while Tn the schools. es's -
 Telephone service can not De furnished without this training and experience. Prior to the war the Company had su6- cient number of skilled workers. Approximately two thousand of our em- ployees, most of them highly trained technical expert workers, went into the army and as- sociated war work.
 Many others went into other enterprises. Few returned to our service. Most of them found employment m unregulated private businesses whose profits arc not restricted. The Company lost their services when most needed, and the time and money spent in making them skilled workers.
 When the property was returned to the Company on August l, 1919, after one year of government possession and oPeratien:
 Forces were depleted Tn numbersa
 The morale was upset; and
 There was general mental unrest Immediate steps were taken to cure these vital defects.
 Training schools were enlarged and addi- tional schools established.
 An organized, intensive canvass was made throughout this, and other states, for addi- tiond workers.
 This cost money, time and effort. It was necessary undertaking, which has become permanent part of eur organization. A larger number of workers are employed today than ever before. Applications for work approximate normal times. The schools are full, but time Is required for training and ex- perience.
 We maintained an adequate and efficient force m the past; we shall do so in the future. The morale of an organization Is even more important than its number. Efficient service requires high morale among those who fur nish 1t.
 Many of cur employees have spent their lives m the service of the Company. They neither knew. nor thought, of any other work.

None of them wanted government iob.
 When the government took possession of the property, they were bewldercd and dis- mayed None knew what the future held for them.
 The morale of our forces was sho. ts pieces.
 The return of the property to the owners has removed the cause of their alarm.
 Today, our morale is higher, finer and upon soundcr basis than ever before Our work CTS knew themselves and each other better. They have new and better appreciation of the work and their obligation to the public.
 Like all others, the telephone workers are the victims of the high cost of living. and the pro6tees.
 No one can do good work when living costs equal. or exceed their income.
 There was but enc thing to do-the en- ployees wages had to be increased to meet the costs of living.
 The interests of the public, and the inter- ests of our workers, equally. required that this be done. M
 Between January. 1916, and January. 1920, the Company's monthly wage bill las increased from $22S, ,548.2l to $554,742.98, an increase of 42 per cent.
 Since January. 1920, the monthly wage 5ll has been further increased at the rate of $597, ,l32.00 per ann,nn-
 These wage increases were paid to the workers on the firing Inc. to those who ac- tually furnish the service; less than one-third of one per cent of these wage increases going to the general officers of the Company.
 The supply of labor is not sufficient for all. The Company must compete with other busi- nesses. regulated and mregulated. for tbe services of men and women.
 In addition to the wage increases already made, still further increases must be made by the Company this year. That for Alabama alone being at an annual rate of $l 40. .9z6.00.
 All wages must be paid out of the earnings of the Company. Wages arc not paid out of the capital sf a company.
 The gross earnings of the Company must De sufficient te project the employees. and ts n- sure service te the public. = Al >>4
