Approves MIR. Kent's Suggestion

To the Editor of The Star:
In my opinion, Commentator Frank
r. Kent, in The Star of January IA, has
suggested an excellent way to hasten
solution of the strike problem. This
is for the President to ask Bernard
Baruch, Herbert Hoover and Henry l..
Stimson to act as an advisory board
and give him report as to what in
their opinion should be done to settle
the present strike problem and what
should be done to obviate future strikes.
Such report, / believe, would secure the
backing of the people to an extent
which would compel appropriate action.

Comment on Telephone Strike

NoiiIiiSIt OH ielcpnOne OtTlke
To the Editor Of The Star:
Having read, several times, Mrs Mary
Gannon's statements regarding the tele-
phone strike, hoping to find some plaus-
ible reason justifying the crippling of
so vital service, the only conclusion
that can reach is that the public is
being used to settle petty differences in
which 1t should not be involved. 1t
Is a glaring example of the misuse to
which the strike privilege is being put
From their statements, it is apparent
that the telephone company is trying
to restore standards which were dropped
because Of the pressure of the war. 1t
Is evident that Mrs. Cannon objects to
this. Although 1t Is some years since
I was telephone employe, I am sure
there still are certain fundamental pro-
cedures which are necessary to good
service and 1t is the supervisors duty to
see that the operators follow certain
rules and regulations, tiresome as they
may be.
If space were available, 1t would be
enlightening to analyze each reason
given as grievance important enough
to warrant calling this strike, for ex-
ample, the reference to 5-second service
as being too much to expect and COM
pairing 1t with sales and cafeteria serv-
Ice. There is just no basis for this kind
OF comparison because telephone serv-
ice is so dissimilar. incidentally it was
3-second service in my day. Most
other complaints would be found just
as groundless or petty.
1t should be the employees right and
privilege to present reasonable COM
plants, but it is stretching point too
far to accept the reasons that have
been published so far as legal excuses
for calling the telephone strike.
