We Gov to the Fish Fry After All That community fish fry was snre a great success. There were plenty of appetizing extras, and Will Dudley did a right wonderful wonder-ful job of frying the fish soft and flaky inside brown and crisp around the edges. But we didn't get to go. The missus was tired after working in the yard, and we just didn't want to leave her. Then how did we know the fish was so good? Because the folks didn't forget us. They sent Skippy Henderson over with two steam ing covered plates of fish, and a pitcher of cool, sparkling beer. And we finished them off in front of our own fire. From where I sit, that's one of the things that makes our town so nice a place to live in: a spirit of share and share alike. That plate of fish and glass of beer weren't just great eating, they were symbols of the thoughtful-ness thoughtful-ness that makes for better living 1 Copyright, 1947, United States Brewers Foundation Timpanogos ward and their wives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F.

OREM REAL ESTATE MAGAZINE QUOTES WESTERN EDUCATORS Four Rocky Mountain Journalism Jour-nalism school administrators are quoted on controversial aspects as-pects of journalism education in the current issue of Editor and Publisher, authoritative journal of the newspaper industry. Analyzing reactions to the re-1 cent report by the Commission : on Freedom of the Press, a leading lead-ing article in the magazine records re-cords the answers of Jurnalism school heads throughout the county to one of the Commission's Commis-sion's charges that the schools were falling short of professional profession-al standards because they were shirking their duty as newspa per .critics. -While some of the educators disagreed with the charge, others, including those in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming, Wyom-ing, accepted it in part and offered of-fered an explanation for it. Handicaps which have mad is difficult for Journalism schools to serve as independent centers of critism were outlined in the article by Oliver R. Smith, acting chairman of Journalism department of Brig-ham Brig-ham Young university, Dean R. L. Crossman of the University of Colorado School of Jounal-ism, Jounal-ism, Wallace R.

We would like to give you straight answers an-swers to some questions that you may be asking. WHY IS THERE A TELEPHONE STRIKE? In recognizing its responsibility to the public, to the workers in the business, and to the owners, the management could not in good conscience con-science accede to the Union's excessive demands. The Union refused the offer to continue the present liberal contracts, and has refused the Company's Com-pany's offer to submit wage issues to arbitration. WHAT WERE THE DEMANDS? There were over one hundred items and the payroll cost would amount to over$27,000(000 a year. That is about five times the Company's Compa-ny's net earnings last year. If added to present payroll it amounts to more than all the revenue collected last year by the Company. WHY DOESNT THE COMPANY GRANT AN INCREASE? The Company's earnings in relation to its investment are at the lowest point in its history of operations. It is in the process of seeking increases in its charges for service based on 1946 costs, the largest element of which was w.lges. A further increase in wages will make it necessary to seek additional telephone rate increases than otherwise would be necessary nec-essary in areas where rates have not been increased. The Company feels, therefore, that if present wages are fair and just, it should not increase them and thus increase the cost and eventually charges for the service. 1939. Mountain States telephone wages have increased 72 per cent over ARE PRESENT TELEPHONE WAGES GOOD? The Company thinks so. Here are some typical wage rates in Provo. A girl starting as a student OPERATOR in Provo begins at a minimum of $26.00 for a five-day week. Regular increases bring this basic rate to a top of $34.00. This does not include overtime and premium payments for evening and night work. There are other advantages to working for the Telephone Company, Com-pany, including eight holidays a year with pay ; vacations with pay, of one, two or three weeks depending on length of services; liberal sickness and death benefits, and pensions, with full cost paid by the Company and telephone work is STEADY WORK. ARBITRATION WHAT IS IT? The Company thinks its wages are good but the Union does not agree. The Company suggests that a board composed of impartial citizens of this area who are not associated with either the Telephone Company or any Union, and who are mutually agreeable to the Union and the Company, Com-pany, should decide the question. ' Arbitration is simply a means of letting an impartial person or group of persons settle a dispute after reviewing the facts and giving full consideration to both sides. The arbitrator acts as a judge or umpire. We think this method of having an unbiased party decide the wa&e question would be fair to employees and the Company. It would certainly be in the public interest. It hardly seems logical that the Union should oppose arbitration, especially when the Company is not proposing a reduction in wages if the board should find that telephone wages are above community levels of pay for work requiring similar skill and training. SHOULD INCREASES GRANTED IN SOME INDUSTRIES IN OTHER AREAS SET A PATTERN FOR TELEPHONE WAGES HERE? The Company does not think so. It will be notated that some of these other industries whose business is of a competitive character have stated that it will not be necessary for them to increase prices. An impartial impar-tial board of arbitration would, of course, decide among other things the extent to which recent wage settlements in other industries have a bearing, bear-ing, if any, on telephone wages in the Rocky Mountain area. We regret the continuation of this unhappy situation. We are doing everything we can to bring about a restoration of normal service. In the meantime we sincerely appreciate the friendly understanding and cooperation of the public. THE MOUNTAIN STATES TELEPHONE AND -TELEGRAPH COMPANY 082-R2 HOME FURNISHINGS Phone 0103R4 Oscar H.
