Over Figures on Indiana

more than $4,000 annually in oper-

AS manager Of Independent exchanges
in Indianapolis. Louisville. Detroit
and Toledo declared that too many
operators were employed in the Indi-
au9poIs exchanges on Sundays and
that by discharSing unnecessary oper-

omitted [, he had based his calcula-
aions on a straight weekly salary av-
erage and had not taken into consider
alton the extra expense of paying Sun
day operators on time-and-a-nalf
basis. Cline further admitted he had
not visited any Of the Indianapolis
exchanges on Sundays. Thompson
produced figures tending TO disqualify
the testimony and figures of Cline.

sons calculations We're essentially
correct, but refused 10 acknowledge
the results in figures.
Cline declined to refigure his
savings on invitation Of Thompson,
after the latter had offered figures TO

were numerous errors in CHne's
figures and presented c. r. Woods
