A thorough investigation into

not receiving 'kind" treatment
was launched yesterday when the

UNION DEMAND
UNJUSTlFIED
Phone Company Manager
Says Wage Rates Up
IS Per Cent

The contention that present
wage scale demands on the part
of Southern Bell Telephone en-.
ployes are not justified was sound
ed yesterday in a statement re.
leased by o. S. Balm, company
group manager here.
Bain's statement pointed out
that telephone wage rates have In.
creased rs per cent since January,
1941, and that last year. and In
l945 the wage rate increases
granted by the company added
approximately $26, 600. 900 to the
annual pay Of firm employees.
Good wages for good workers
and good service are in the public
interest and the telephone com.
pany believes in paying good
wages" the statement said.
ut believes that the wages paid
its employees should compare ia
vorably with those paid by other
concerns in the community for
work requiring similar skill and
training" Bain's statement con-
tinued.
ION a company-Wide basis the
unions demands amounts to an
average weekly increase in basic
wage rates Of about $18 per EN-
ploye.
Balm said that the company had
offered the union 4 years renewal
of the present contract, with the
right to reopen the matter OF
wages at a time when changes In
conditions may justify.
He said that wages paid by the
Southern Bell CO. at the present
for a 40 hour week are, for opera
tors, $26, to $37 and for installer
repairmen, $27 to $50. This scale
Balm ~contrasted with union de-
mands for wages for operators Of
$40 to $51 and for installer-repair-
men $43 to $81.
He concluded by saying that
wages that r too low are not
fair to the employees who do the
work and that too-high wages are
not fair to the public who pay
for the telephone service.

COUNCIL SEEKING
RESTORATION AID
City To Ask For Federal
Grant To Repair Thai
liam Hall

Efforts to obtain a federal grant
to aid in the restoration of Thaliar
hall, was voted by the city coun'
Gil at yesterdays session.
The decision came after City
Building Inspector Gilbert F. Nor,
ton submitted a report of an in
vestigation he made Of the struc:
ture. He termed it unsafe,
It has been estimated that from
500, 900 to $3.50, 900 will be requir.
ed to restore the building.
A suggestion that the hall be
leased to the ITALIAN Society tor
a period of 80 years and then the
responsibility for the restoration
be left up to the group was offered
by Councilman Harris Newman.
He said he believed there was
enough interest in the historical.
value of the project to make the
restoration desirable but indicated
his belief that the city was unable
to expend the sum of money nee.
essary to complete the repairs
needed.
No action was taken on a re
quest by Fred Creech, pencil ven
der, that he be permitted to sci
pencils on the streets. A motion
was made that contact be mad'
with the welfare department t
see if Creech might not be laugh
