Wage increases affecting most
of its $4,000 employees were an
nounced today by the New Eng
land Telephone and Telegraph
Company, following negotiations
with the international Brother
hood of Telephone Workers rep
resenting employees in the Plant
Department and the New Eng
land Federation Of Telephone
Traffic Workers representing
switchboard operators and other
employees in the Traffic Depart
ment.
1t is estimated that the result
Of these increases, together with
comparable adjustments being
made for clerical workers and
other employees in all depart
ments, will be to add almost ST.
100000 per year to the cost of
providing telephone service IN
the five New England states
served by the company.
Under the new S ch edules,
maximum weekly wage rates for
telephone craftsmen are increased
SIS, and other rates in the Plant
Department are increased by
either So or $4 a week. For
switchboard operators, the new
schedules provide for increases.
of $3.50 in maximum weekly
wage rates, and either 81 or SO a
week at other steps in the sched-
ule.
These wage in eases are
necessary to catch up with in
creases authorized by many other
industries for work requiring
similar skill and training and are
within the framework of the
Wage Sterilization Boards regu-
lations. However, some of the
increases are conditioned in part
on obtaining a ruling from the
Wage Sterilization Board.

Workers Pay Hike Necessitotes
Rate Increase Telephone Co. Saws

Hugh w. Macdonald, Massa-
chusetts General Manager of the
Telephone Company, said that
the biggest part of the additional
annual cost Of these increases
will apply to Massachusetts be-
cause the major part of the COM
pany's operations is in this State.
"These increases reflect the
Company's policy Of keeping its
wage schedules in line with
wages paid in other industries"
he said. ''This is a very import
ant factor in attracting and hold
ing the men and women whose
services are essential to good
telephone service.
"However, in making these
increases effective, once again the
Company is caught in the spiral
Of rising costs. Our increases in
revenue have not kept pace with
Increases in wages, taxes and
other costs. Previous rate in
.creases here in Massachusetts,
have been swallowed up by con-
stantly rising expenses.
"When we increase wages in
the telephone business in accord
ance with wage stabilization
regulations, we are not con-
tributing to further imitation
we are trying to catch up with
the effects of it. The fact is that
we are the victims of initiation
and have no choice but to seek
increases in income to offset
those higher costs.

fore, to make application imme-

well as the higher State and
Federal taxes that have become

Use OF Tokens
On MIA Starts
On Saturday

At S AM. on Saturday Of this
week M.T.A. riders will start
using tokens to pay their 15-cent
fares.
At that time, passimeters which
will now accept only tokens, will

Youth Lost In Crevasse Of G|atier
Trail Grew Combing Ice Pack in Search for
 Gerald Ross, Fairbanks

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 27 - R = A Tenth Rescue Squadron trail crew combed Bartlett Glacier today in search for Gerald D. Ross, 2lyear-old Fairbanks youth who is believed to have fallen into 40- foot crevasse on the ice pack Sum- day.
 Ross, a construction worker, was accompanied on the glacier trip by Bob Rose, 23, of Mountain View, near Anchorage. Rose stumbled into Munter camp at Mile 49 Monday afternoon and gasped out the story of his companions loss.
 Rose said he and Ross were cross ing the glacier Sunday morning when Ross lost his footing and fell into the crevasse. He apparently was unhurt and asked Rose to go for help.
 Rose was exhausted when he re- turned to Munter camp but started out yesterday morning with the rescue crew. He couldn't remember the exact spot, however. and two army engineer helicopters from Seward have been called in to assist in the search.
 The rescue parties, both in the air and on the ground, have been ham, pered by heavy rainfall and 60 mile winds.
