Securing and Training Skilled Workers

All telephone employees are skilled
workers
They are taught, trained and gwen practi-
cal experience by the Company.
The Company maintains schools to teach
and train new employees, paying them while
Iii the schools
Telephone service can not be furnished
without this training and experience.
Prior to the war the Company had sufh-
Gent number of skilled workers
Approximately two thousand Of our en-
ployees, most Of them highly trained technical
expert workers, went INTO the army and as
ISOLATED war work.
Many others went into other enterprises.
Few returned to our service. Most of them
found employment In unreguiated private
businesses whose profits are moi 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 /, 1919, afer enc year
OF government possession dIic Ok}csdtlAda..
Forces were depleted IN numbers.
The morale was upset; and
There was general mental unrest
Immediate steps were taken to cure these
vital defects
Training schools were enlarged and add
tional schools established
An organized, intensive canvass was made
throughout this, and other states, for add
tional workers
This cost money, time and effort
1t was necessary undertaking, winch has
become permanent part Of OFT 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 fr training and ex-
perence.
We maintained an adequate and efficient
force IN 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 it.
Many of our employees have spend their
lives IN the service of the Company. They
neither knew, nor thought, Cd amy oalsr
work.

The morale of our forces was shot to

The return Of the property to the owners

Today, our morale is higher, finer and upon
sou,der basis than ever before. Our work
ess know themselves and each other better.
They have new and better appreciation of
the work and their obligation to the public.
Like al others, the telephone workers are
the gictnns of the high cost of living, and the
proateer.
No one can do good work when living costs
equal. or exceed their income.
There was but one thing to do-the en-
ployees wages had to be increased to meet
the costs OF Irving.
The interests of the public, and the inter-
ests of our workers, equally, required that
this be done.
Between January, 1916, and January,
1920, the Companys monthly wage bill has
increased from $228, 548.2l to $554,742,98,
an increase of AZ per cent.
Sipce January, 1920, the monthly wage
BIZ has been further increased at the rate Of

These wage increases were paid to the
workers on the firing line, TO those who ac-

Of one per cent of these wage increases going

The supply Of labor is not sufficient for all.
