legal authorities in the recent dis
orders at Harrison and other points

LOCAL OPERATORS
HAVE NO DESIRE
TO Join IN STRIKE

The operators at the local ex-
change of the New England Tel. e.

orators, acting as spokesman for the
sifls, expressed the stand, Saturday.
that the girls were no in the union

Vor OF the strike and that, as far
as Sc knew, there would be no union
formed in this city.
The stand of the local girls. not TO
become involved in any strike action
mat may be voted by the Electrical
workers and the Operators Unions.
on tuesday, June 10, is reassuring
news to the patrons of the company.
Zach operator of the New England
eIelephone and Telegraph Co, has
been sent letter by President Matt
Il. Jones of the Company in which
he reviews the situation with regard
TO wages and working conditions. In
this letter. Mr.. Jones tells of the
conditions from 1914 to 1920 which
called for higher wages to meet in
creased living expenses. These
wages were granted some voluntar-
lily and some at the request of the
employees but all gladly.
When other companies began to
cut wages in 1920 the telephone COM
pany did not do so. Thus telephone
companies employees are getting the
same wages that they We're in 1920
while the employees of other COM
panies have not yet reached the 1920
wage level even though they have
hecently received increases in wages
With regard to working conditions
he speaks of the fact that while the
operators are nominally working an
eight hour day, no operator works
actually over Z II hours. Two weeks
vacation is granted with pay so that
the operator gets fully 50 weeks pay
each year. Rest rooms are provided
as are lunch rooms and n benefit
plan for all operators inSures them
against sickness and accident.
In conclusion he says II think
should frankly say to you that. under
existing circumstances, the Company
is not in a position to reduce the
hours of work or to make general
wage increases. I think it should be
very clear that a strike or threat of
strike can not change the Companys
position"

Department Makes
Quick Run Sunday

The Fairfield fire department made
a quick run about 1880 Sunday after
loon when a call from Box No. So sent
them to fire which had started in the
old "edging yard" SO called. The use
Of chemicals only was needed in put
ting out the blaze, which had gained
considerable Roadway in the dry bark
and chips before it was discovered.
The fire was thought to be the careless
ness of boys and it might have caused
a serious state of affairs if it had been
discovered any later. as the entire
"cdging yard would be a regular tin
der box.
The people of Fairfield cannot help
but appreciate the splendid work which
is done by the Fairfield fire depart
ment. Sunday afternoon. for instance,
before the second alarm was through.
the fire truck was on it's way up Main
street to the scene of the fire. Con-
sidering the fact that the fire depart
ment is a volunteer organization. it is
certainly splendid asset to the town.
