Fair treatment for each in the long run is in the best interests of all. We believe that telephone employees should be paid wages that compare favorably with those paid generally in the community for work requiring similar skill and training. Here Are Sonne Telephone Wages A girl just starting as a student operator here begins at a minimum rate of $26.00 for a five day week. Regular increases bring this basic rate to a top of $33.00. In addition there are overtime and premium payments for evening and· night work, etc. The basic top rates for telephone craftsmen for a five day work week range from $61.00 to $63.50 in Utah. This is increased by overtime and premium payments. • There are many other advantages to wor]<ing for the telephone company. These include steady work - eight holidays a year with pay; vacations with pay of one, two and three weeks, depending upon the length of service; liberal sickness benefits and pensions, with full cost paid by the company. Are These Good Wages? Our studies indicate that these wages compare very favorably with wage levels in this area. If they do not, an impartial board of arbitration, composed of citizens of this state of the Mountain States area, can quickly settle the question. This company has suggested to the union that this be done. The union has not accepted to date. .. Arbitration More Practical in This Area I Fully 80 per cent of our revenues come from our operations within individual states and our charges are regulated by state or city regulatory authorities. It seems fundamental that any arbitration of an issue so important as this, with its resultant impact on the public and its problem for regulatory authorities, should be done by citizens from the area in which the revenue is obtained for service and from which the wages are paid. Now tlleyie "Cooking witll G11s_" The offer to arbitrate is still open. The Union should agree that workers should return to their jobs, while the issues are being settled in a fair and sensible manner. -SWEDISH-FILM~~ungkarls MUSCLE POWER IS EXPENSIVE NOW But Electric Power is Economical I The original Constitution of the BUY FROM YOUR ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT DEALER In a garden larger than 2,000 United States was adopted in A UTAH POWER f, LIGHT CO.

'Ihe high cow of this group was Ormsby Bracelet, a registered Holstein, 10 years of age, owned by Horace Sorensen. This cow produced 18,974 pounds of milk and 619.8 pounds of butterfat during the 305-day period. The high herd in the association for the month was the Jordan Valley Region herd of 44 cows. which averaged 1094 pounds of ' milk and 36.8 pounds of butterfat ' with an average test of 3.3 per eent.
