 The wage rates of telephone men and women returning from mili- tary service will be based on their rate of pay in the last job held plus all wage increases exactly as if the job had been held during the entire period of absence. This policy, as well as the new credit for benefit and pension purposes, will be applied retroactively to the 61 men and women who have al- ready returned to the company.
