How Telephone Operators Interpret Light Sigma

uHE wire chief had connect
ed up a desk telephone 80
that it stood on the switch
hoard shelf only two or three
feet away from the switch
board signal light with which
Il was connected. He paused
in front of it as he conveyed
a group of newspapermen
through his office during our
, recent Telephone Week. :,
T connected this instru-
r1ent to demonstrate how the
operator gets the light sig
nal" he said. He lifted the
receiver as he spoke and in
stantly a tiny electric light
glowed on the switchboard.
Then he took a plug, deity
inserted it in the hole under
the light, and 10! it went out.
"That's where the operator
saws Number please p" he ex-
blamed. ''When you give her
the number and she connects
YOU with the line you ask for,
a light connected to that line
Flows on the switchboard
shelf. AS soon as the called
party answers the light goes
out. AS each hangs up his re-
ceiver, the lights connected to
their respective telephones
burn. That signal tells her
to take down the connection.
LET us suppose, however,"
he went on, "that you have
finished your talk and want to
signal the operator so as to
ask for another number" As
he spoke, he pressed down the
receiver hook of the desk
stand and let it spring back
again, and repeated the op-
Grafton four or five times,
with the cadence of a clock
pendulum, about two move
ments per second.

IlBUR UNREST IN BRITAIN
General Idea That Wage Struggle on
Large Scale is About to
Be lnaugurated.

All signs point to the colliery indus
try as the first which will be engaged
In wage struggle on a large scale,
In the British Isles. There will be
new development soon following
upon the detailed inquiries by both
parties in the wage negotiations TO dis
cover what the general body of both
owners and miners desire.
In the meetings in the various coal
fields, the miners have declared for
new standard wage, embodying nearly
all present earnings, while the owners
declare that. unless wages are sub
stantially reduced, many collieries must
close The attitude of the miners Will
be decided at q coming national con-
ference, and In the subsequent re-
newed negotiations decisive stage
win be reached. A struggle is regard
ed as almost certain. and the fact that
many colliery owners, especially in
South Wales. are giving notice TO
terminate contracts in fourteen days
so that thereafter the mines may be
closed at one days notice, is regarded
as an ominous portent.
