LABOR

More than ffty-five per cent OF the total
penditures of the Company in rendering service
are for wages and salaries less :han one-tenth of
one per cent of this being for executive and
general salaries.
The wages paid to our employees cannot, and
should not, be reduced. On the contrary they
must be increased, in MANY cases, to bring our
wage scale on level with wages paid by I'M
regulated businesses, that we may retain
our skilled employees necessary to give you eff
ficient service

Atlanta, Ga, October 10, 1920
Mr.. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
New Orleans. La.
Dear Sir
Your letter of October 18th asks very nat
ural question, and one which demands full
and frank reply which | am glad t. make.
While the prices of great many things have,
apparently, been reduced. these reductions in
prices do not apply to articles used by the tele-
phone company, affect the expenditures neces-
sary in the construction, maintenance and opera
ton OF the telephone plant.
The following classes Of expenses constitute
than ninety-five per cent of the cost of
furnishing telephone service:
The herald., 1920-10-21

This expense both Federal, State, County and
City has increased every year We have been in
business; the increase this year being unusually
high There is no probability of this expense
being reduced
We do not pay any excess profit tax because
we have never earned enough to be subject to
that tax.

A Letter of General Public Interest
and the Reply

The following correspondence of vital interest

MATERIAL AND APPARATUS

Many items of material and apparatus are
involved in the current maintenance of the prop
erty, entirely apart from the enormous quanti-
ties involved in the construction of new prop
erty, and this represents large item of ex-
pense. There has been no reduction, nor any
indication of reduction, in the price of these
essential articles. in practically all of which the
labor. freight and hauling cost is by far the
largest proportion of the total cost
We know that the manufacturers of telephone
equipment and material have orders booked for
two years in advance, with constantly increas-
ing demand, and which in turn makes reduction
in price in the near future most improbable.
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER COSTS
Our annual expense for the transportation
OF freight and passengers is more than one mil
lion dollars No expects the Railroads to
reduce their charges under the level of costs in
rendering their service
Except in the larger centers central offices
and stocks of material housed in rented
buildings, and even in the larger centefs we rent
varying amounts of properties.
Like every one else, our rents have been great
y increased, with prospect of any reduction.
Even in pre-war days all leases for property oc-
supied by us were renewed only at higher
charges than for the previous rental period.
-
The board and lodging bill for our men, who
must travel IN connection with the operation
and maintenance of the property, costs many
iiou>diuS pl uOlla1S every year, and
no prospect of the hotels lowering their charges
Until they do we must pay the present high
charges
ELECTRIC POW-R AND LIGHT
STREET CAR FARE
We spend many thousands of dollars every
year for these services rendered to employee. en-
gagged in the maintenance of the property Prac
ticay every year the rates charged by tbrs.
companies have been substantially increased and
there is no thought of any reduction The TeIe
phone Company, like all others, must paw these
increased rates
PAPER PRINTING AND STATIONERY
We consume tons of paper for bookkeeping
correspondence and directory purposes and paw
many thousands of dollars for printing annually.
This item OF expense has increased in percentage
more than the others, and no one has suggested
mat any reduction in these costs is probable
COAL BILL
The Telephone Company purchases coal in
large quantities to heat the buildings occupied
~ ITS employees IN rendering the service
We, OF course. must pay whatever price is
secessary to secure the coal for this purpose.
INSURANCE
Even where the actual rate per one thousand
dollars has not been increased we are comneIIed
TO carry a larger amount of insuranc. than in
pre-war days in order to protect ourselves in
the reproduction of any OF the property which
may be destroyed by fire and this is reflected in
very large increase in the total insurance bill

must travel IN connection with the operation
and maintenance of the property costs many
thousands OF dollars every year, and we can see
no prospect of the hotels lowering their charges
Until they do we must pay the present high
charges
