Phone Company
Will Need
Rate Increase

Contract negotiations between
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the
Communications Workers Of
America-CIO began in Atlanta
Monday morning. The present
agreement covering the companv's
non-supervisoTy employees. in
Guiding those at Key West. Flori-
da runs until June 5th.
G. D. Garner, Southern Bell
vice-president in charge of per
sonnet, indicated in Atlanta Satur-
day that the company will go into
the negotiations prepared to make
wage offer within the limits of
the Governments Wage Stabiliz-
ton program.
Surveys just completed show
that d general upward movement
of wages has taken place in the
south and that a wage increase
for Suohtern Bell. EMPLOYEES is
justified" he said. 'The company s
policy is to pay wage rates that
are in line with those paid other
workers in the community having
similar Skills. Only in this way
can we do justice to our en-
ployees and continue to attract
and keep the high-type personnel
essential to good telephone serv-
ice.
Operating costs already have
increased out of the line with re-
venues, an increased wages on
top of other cost rises, will re-
quire an increase in telephone
rates. There is no margin in our
income to absorb any increased
costs. In fact, we have fallen short
by $20,000.o00 annually of max
ing up through increases in tele-
phone rates the wage increases
granted in the last 10 years.
In its negotiations the COM
pany must constantly seek the
middle ground that is fairest to
all concerned-employees, Gus
toners and the people who have
invested their savings in the Tele-
phone Business We aresconfident
that the public expects Southern
Bell to pay fair wages. We must
also recognize the rights OF those
who have put their money into
the business, expecting a fair re-
turn, And we must charge for
telephone service only what is
necessary to provide good and ex.
panding service plus the return to
which those who. have invested
their money are entitled"

Skilled Trades
News


President Simon said: That
all inducted apprentices are en-
titled to ALL the assistance that
can be put forth by the Unit
Executive Committees and the
Stewards. In assisting the ap-
prentice to complete his ar
rangements for departure to the
military duties, with clear
thought in mind, that when they
return to complete their train
ing, they will receive the full
credits, which are due them,
and not as heretofore, the en-
ployer had the only available
records and the APPRENTICE was
subjected to the mercy of his
employer. The forseen hazard
should be, and can be avoided
by furnishing the draftee, and
the Skilled Trades Council with
a certified copy of his credits.
The Council provides protec-
ton to the APPRENTICE by placing
them in file for further refer
enceS.
1t is extremely important that
these credits are approved by the
Executive and Apprentice Com
mittees and signed by the en-
plOyer.
President Simon also said:
That the Northwestern Ohio
Skilled Trades Council is the
first to adopt this type of guar
antee to apprentices, and said:
That other councils are expect
ed to follow the same procedure.
The Skilled Trades office will
be open Sunday morning at
1000 AM, January 14th.

The January meeting of the

Officers; also nominations for
delegates to the National UAW-

This will be an important meet

The first annual meeting of

ary 21 at PM, at Local IL.
Election of officers will be held.
A nice program is being arrang-
ed.
The membership drive of the

At recent UNIT meeting, Oh
lie Augustyniak and Joe Kardos
were elected to the Pension COM

UrZekowski will serve on the
Insurance Committee.
The girls on the small line are
fighting for better standards and

At our last UNIT meeting,

thing to do as they learn some
thing about the rules and policy
of our organization. Big Joe,
Smokey and Chet were the
guests.

Cos House Liberals

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The

day. A whopping Dixiecrat-Re-
publican majority gave the re-
dictionary House Rules Commit
tee its old power to sit indefinite
ly on legislation approved by
other committees and for which
there may be wide popular de-
mand. The move was viewed as
gag on House liberals.

The G hri S t m collection
amounted to $556.6O, this is far

send many, many thanks for
your generosity.

their friends nominate them to

One of our present committee

LiltOt5On

Compiled By Derele Collin

ION should not get mixed up IL
politics." We would like to make
a few remarks and obervations
on this i'll made statement. We
believe, without fear of contra
diction, it is the duty of the un-
ion and it's officials to give its
membership all the protection
possible. Pray tell us how this
can be accomplished with out
politics and lot of it. This great
Democratic country of ours is
built on politics. Our laws are
made by the politicians we elect
to the various seats of govern
ment If we are interested in our
own welfare, and our right to
obtain economic security and So
cial dignity Then we say there
isn't enough politics in our un-
ion. The election of representa-
tives that will work for the good
and welfare of we the people
and not the special interests of
the individuals who would en-
slave and lead us back to the
misery of depression, is the duty
of every American.
We know our union cannot
give us the protection, security
and decent wages we expect if
we do not see to it the politicians
we elect work for the kind of
legislation that will give us the
opportunity to fight for what is
right.
This struggle for human free
dom never ends but continues
from one generation to another
and if we allow ourselves to be
led into believing the very
thing that this nation thrives on
is unimportant, vile and of no
then we need our
heads looked at. We cannot over
come defeat or win a victory
if we turn our backs on the
weapons at our command and
that make for victory. If we were
to believe our union should stay
out of politics. Then why do the
indutrialists and manufacturers
of this country spend millions of
dollars to elect a politician that
is strictly anti-labor? When we
look at the tremendous amount
of money these anti-laborites
spent to elect one politician from
Ohio we become more and more
convinced that organized labor
should take the lessons learned
i'm the past election and really
get into this political battle for
the rights of free men.
