miles of railroad in operation. Today
this country is served by about TO-
100000 telephones and 248,00O miles
of railroad.
Dispatching trains by telephone is
nothing new, for as early as 1879,
three years after the telephone was
invented the Boston, Revere Beach
and Lynn Railroad used the telephone
for its train dispatching system and
has used it continuously to date, &C,
cording to Telephone Topics.
This railroad has been in operation
since July %, 1875, and was the first
railroad in the world to use the tele
phone for dispatching trains.
Not only do railroads utilize tele-
phone communication for train dis,
patching, but they are large users OF
telephone service. In fact, nearly
every railroad in the country operates
private branch exchange systems at
its general headquarters and at divi
sion and district points along its lines,
and as we'll are served by telephones
in railroad stations everywhere.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-03-13

Efficiency in American railroad ope-
ration is outstanding. Millions of peo-
pie are transported annually over
thousands Of miles of track in addi-
ton to the vast tonnage Of freight
that is handled year in and year out
by these efficient carriers.
One Of the methods by which the
railroads have increased their eff
cheney in recent years is by telephone
dispatching. OF the total railroad
mileage in this country, 60 per cent is
now operated by telephone control.
Many railroads SUCH as the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, the Vrginian, Nor
folk and Western, and Pennsylvania
are now operated entirely by tele
phone control.
Railroading in America has just
passed its hundredth milestone. The
telephone came along half-century
later and is now in it's fifty-third year
of service. With the invention of the
telephone in 1875 when there were
only two of these instruments in exist
ence, there were more than 10000

this number, about 1900 are women.
The gigantic plant now being erected
at PIT. Breeze, Baltimore, will supply
work for several thousand people in.
Guiding large number of women who
will be engaged in manufacturing sup
plies necessary to meet the demands Of
the public for telephone service.
The occupations of the women en-
ployees of this great manufacturing
organization now include accountants,
assemblers, bindery girls, chemists,
clerks, cooks, dietitians, draftswomen,
engineers, laboratory technicians,
laundresses, lawyers, Librarians, ma
chine operators, monotype keyboard
operators, writer's, proof readers, psy-
biologists, secretaries, social service
workers, supervisors, switchboard ope-
rators, teachers, tracers, and typists.
This very diversified list of occupa.
tions should dispel in anyone's mind
the thought that the women are not
capable of performing many of the
useful scientific duties that industry
offers today.

There was a time when men were
held responsible for women leaving
home. Today industry seems to have
usurped that place, for never before in
the history of the world have so many
women been engaged in industrial
operations.
In many industries it is easy enough
to associate women among the en-
ployees. People generally are not sur
prised at the large number of women
employees in the telephone industry,
for the pleasant voices that ask 'Num-
Der, please?" or say THANK you"
when the number is given are daily
reminders of this fact. Telephone
companies in the United States now
utilize about $4,000 employees in the
construction, operation, and mainte-
nance of the systems. Of this number,
2S9,000 are women. But surprising
facts revealed by officials of the tele-
phone company show that women
occupy many important positions in
other than the telephone operating de-
partments.
