operations provide service to over
105,00O telephones in 1876 central
offices in this state alone.
Beirne pointed to recent adver-
Using of the General Tel. Co.
where the company points to its
rapid growth. Said Beirne:
"The reason such a rapidly
growing company can still pay
sub-standard wages is because
Congress has not eliminated this
discriminatory exemption provi-
sion from the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act"
Beirne continued:
''The public does not expect a
small group of women to substitute
communities to assure them of
telephone service. This, these
women do when they are paid
sub-standard wages. According to
telephone management associa-
ton figures 22,4OO women in
manual exchanges are exempt by
the Wage Act. In reality these
women are substituting the tele-
phone service of some commune
ties.
Congress should no longer be
misled by fallacious. arguments
attempting to justify continued
exemptions or non-extenSion of
coverage. Dire predictions have
repeatedly been made, by pessi-
mists who have no faith in the
future of our economic system
while at the same time, they pro-
fess strongly to the contrary.
"They said in the beginning the
wage law would bring economic
collapse, unemployment and bust
ness failure.
''These things have not occurred.
Quite the contrary has been the
case"

CWA President Seeks To
naaExtend Wage & Hour Laws

Joseph A.. Beirne, Washington,
president of the Communications
Workers of America has asked
Congress to extend minimum
wage and maximum hour protec-
ton to 22,400 telephone switch
board operators exempted from
wage-hour coverage.
Appearing before Senate labor
subcommittee, Beirne said the
operator exemption was original
ly intended to cover only small
companies employing zone or two
operators" but that under it's
terms, the $14-billion Bell Sys-
tenn as well as large, prosperous
independent companies" are per-
mitted to pay less than the estab-
lished minimum wage in many
locations.
The amendment to the law spe-
officially exempts switchboard OPP
orators in exchanges having fewer
than $50 telephones. Only opera
tors are exempt, other employees
come under the protection of the
law. The operators in these .ex-
changes may be worked any num-
Der of hours in a week without
overtime compensation and with
out regard for minimum wages.
The amendment exempting the
operators was lobbied through
Congress by the telephone indus
try in 1899. Persistent union
efforts since then have so far fail
ed to persuade Congress to put
these switchboard operators back
under the laws protection.
Beirne gave the committee ex-
emples where the General Tele-
phone Goa billion dollar enter
prise--pays as little as 80 and SO
cents an hour. The two examples
Beirne cited were in Ohio, a high
ly industrialized state. Generals

| the Knight. TITS very sensible.
If you hate your neighbor as you
love yourself you don't charge
him with being a hateful person.
You call the police and tell them
his automobile is parked with
out a tail light. That's our sys-
tenn in nutshell only we carry
it a step farther. We don't have
to prove that the tail light was
out only that it might have
gone out. BY the same line of
reasoning, people might gather
in groups to discuss the sugges-
ton that drunken judge should
not sentence drunken drivers and
they might obstruct traffic"
ut all seems predicated on the
word might" observed Alice.
Precisely" said the White
Knight solemnly. might makes
right. You see, it's like this: It's
much easier to convict man of
something he didn't do than to
prove that what he was doing
was crime. For example, if a
man was handing out union lit
erature, we charge him with lit
tering the streets. If he was pick
citing, we charge him with loiter-
ing. If he's a radical, We charge
him with being bootlegger. If
he writes a book on economics
that we don't agree with, we ar
rest him on charge of obscien-
ty. If he thinks a worker has the
same rights to drink as his boss,
we lock him up on a charge of
violating the Mann Act.
IF the first charge doesn't
stick, we try another and, if he
appeals, we charge him with
something else. That's the adj
vantage of this system. If you
charge a man with crime he
really did commit, your prose-
cution is limited to one count but,
II you charge him with some
thing else, you have the whole
book of statutes to choose from.
If he is acquitted on all counts,
we can always have him COM
mitted to an asylum. He'll prob
ably have gone insane by that
time, anyway"
Does anybody ever get free
of everything?" asked Alice.
ooh, yes" replied the White
Knight. "But the System takes
care of those cases, too. BY that
time he has spent all his money
on litigation, his reputation is
ruined and ,, anyway, he has al
ready been in Jail as long as if
he had been convicted on the
original charge"

Alice asked in some bewilder-
ment, "that most of the people
in Jail are Innocent"

WORKING TOGETHEn STRESSED M
 FARM-CITY TALK

In an interesting talk at the Palmer Kiwanis Club on Monday of this week James w. Wilson territorial commissioner of agri- culture, compared the difference of urban and rural life of 25 years ago to today's living, which III both the urban and rural areas are now very similar. The occa- sion of his talk was the Kiwanis observances of Farm-City Week.
 More and more our problems boil down to common problem. The farmers attempts to get more eggs from his hens the city mer- chant seeks top production from his employee the agriculture commissioner pointed out.
 Twenty-Five years ago rural children attended schools where one teacher taught from one to eight grades they walked to school in many cases. As roads were paved and the horse drawn wagon was replaced by buses, the school systems were consolidated and the country boy was inte- grated into the city. The trend today finds many city workers residing in the rural areas many farmers working part time in the cities and farm wives, working along side nearly as many city wives in the urban area jobs.
 tThe country rube and the city slicker have nearly lost their identy now" Wilson pointed out.
 Everyone has something to sell .. produce .... services '. abilities We must all subscribe to build a bigger and better AL aSka."
 Wilson went on to tell his list eners that when preparing his talk he had first thought of a title, People are no d good" but had changed it to read Lets Look in the Mirror.
