Herren, Army com- mander in the District of Colum- bia, offered to transport the files in army trucks, free. Then the Treasury came up with a new argument—that it would cost the Government $75000 to find other storage space for the files. Furthermore, the Treasury wants an armed guard to be placed ov its canceled checks and it's more convenient to keep a guard over them in the Belasco theatre.

The report will show that while American Telephone and Telegraph, the mother company, actually dic- tates labor pol for the entire system, the labor union is forced chickenfeed compared to the mor- als of 10,000 young Americans who don’t want to be away from home, but who in serving their country have to be away from home, and/ need some place to relax evenings.

There are over 100 different wage schedules for the single job of telephone op- erator in the United States.” Starting rates for telephone op- erators in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and the south are only $27 a week; yet it takes these operators eight years to reach the top rate of $36 per week. “It is our position,” the CIO Com- munications Workers of America told Senators, “that a wage rate of $36 a week for a skilled operator after eight years service with the largest and richest company in the world is an unreasonable and im- proper wage rate.” The committee found that skilled i 1 . telephone installers and cable splic- ers often make less than common laborers. In Newark, N. J., common laborers in the building industry | are paid $2.12 an hour, while the starting rate for skilled ‘telephone craftsmen is 91 cents an hour. Af- ter eight years, a telephone instal- ler still receives one cent less than an unskilled laborer.
