but we leave it to all fairminded
people to judge whether by the ac-
ton we did take, we did not treat
Il employees more generously and
fairly. And we do not yet believe
and do not wish to be forced to the
conclusion by your action that our
mistake during the past year or so
was IN not making greater reduc-
tons in rates than we did make in
order hat we might now at this
later date. and after having made
the savings which meanwhile have
gone to yoE in increased pay, be in
a position to make advances which
others have only recently made.
During the recent very extreme
business and industrial depression.
we have made other sacrifices in
your interest than in the matter of
rates and have booked a large ag-
gregate volume of orders at less
than cost because they could only be
had by quoting less than cost, and
because such orders were needed to
avoid still further reducing our
forces or shortening working hours.
our commitments ahead r all
based upon the present level of
prices and costs and do not admit
of increased or unanticipated ex-
penses in the execution OF present
orders. wen IL further advances in
our rates of pay were justified.
You are after all, all interested
not so much in the dollars received
as in what those dollars will pur-
chase for you. and upon this basis
as well. a comparison with earlier
records will demonstrate that while
rates OF pay have been going down,
the purchasing value of the dollar
has been steadily increasing: and
the net result of present rates OF pay
i nall departments and classes of
the cable works is hat the pay per
hour which you are receiving today
goes farther and will purchase more
than the pay per hour received at
the beginning of the war.
AS matters now stand. a large
number of our employees to whom
we have voluntarily paid consider
ably higher rates than we would
have needed to pay under competi-
tive conditions, or in order to keep
pace with the changing purchasing
value of the dollar have been will
ing to accept the higher compensa-
ton compared with other rate be-
ing paid locally which we have vol
UNFAIRLY and cheerfully paid, but
have either quite overlooked the i'm
portant facts in the case. or have
permitted themselves to be badly
advised or lead into demands or ex-
pectations which are unreasonable
and unfair. and which would PEN
alize the cable company for its fair
and liberal actioi of which you have
had the benefit for the past year or
more. in maintaing its rates sew
eral cents per hour higher than the
usual relationship of rates in this
district.
When our employees are willing to
consider the matter reasonably and
are ready to return TO work we are
prepared to have them do 50.

To The Employees Of the Standard
Underground Cable Company

A considerable number of our
employees did not return to work
Thursday morning, May %, follow
ing the action on the part of a
small number at noon the day be-
fore. No previous complaint was
made n discussion had on the sub
ject and the only reasons which
have thus far reached us are that
CUR epployss re disappointed at
.faktnat no raise was volun-
$50 SasHounced by our company
.u.1Iowing the advances recently
leiade by a number of other Perth
oD,mboy industries.
II No previous complaint or re-
'sauest was made on the subject
though we since understand that
some of IA employees are loyal and
reasonable. and we take this oppor-
tunity of calling attention to some
facts which WI are sure have been
overlooked. and which as a matter
OF fairness should be given full con-
sideration.
For years it has been the pre-
vailing custom for the general base
rate paid in the Perth Amboy metal
industries and in the clay industries
and other seasonal occupations. to
pay somewhat higher rates than in
the Cable Works. in recognition of
different working conditions. hours
more laborious work. or the seasonal
nature of the work as compared
with our comparatively continuous
steady employment. This difference
has frequently amounted to as much
as three cents per hour.
When, as a result OF the serious
falling off in business, it was made
necessary something more than a
1900 - a. n 80 h. nnraI aar-
ditions into account, material reduc-
tons in the rates of pay were
made in the Perth Amboy district
just as they were made everywhere
else throughout the country. At
thai tins. and as the record will
show, the Cable Company did not
reduce their rates to the same ex-
lent that other reductions were
made locally, but maintained its
. rate at thirty-three cents per
hour with a starting rate of thirty
cents per hour Notwithstanding the
fact that other industries which a
normally paid three cents per hour
higher than Dur rates. were reduced
, to thirty cents per hour n in some
! cases to twenty-five cents per hour
or still lower. Therefore, it is to
he noted that in maintaining our
! rates at the figure stated, we were
maintaining them at from five cents
per hour to ten cents per hour
higher than they would have been
had we kept our rates at the usual
relationship to the other local rates
mentioned.
. In other words. il we had made
l1us great reductions in our rates as
|oEers made at the time by the other
Industries which have recently d
J Vanced their rates. we would have
mot only saved a large sum of money
