Well, there are several reasons. One, of course, is that local carpenters | want $1,121% an hour instead of $1.00. j Another is that the federal govern- | ment has consistently either refused or con- veniently forgotten to take time out for ar honest survey of wage, labor and living con- ditions here. { Another is that local business men | have, with equal convenience, forgotten | that in July they helped to end another | “fishing trip” by promising faithfully that | they would do all in their power to see that | | such : survey was made at once. Perhaps .the combined efforts . of F everyone in Key West would not have pro- | duced that survey. + But the united move for that. survey, | the united move promised the carpenters | and laborers, never came off. We ‘don’t know much about car- | penters. Ferhaps they don’t deserve $1,121 | for their work. But the only way to find out is to get the survey the merehants and business men | were going to demand. The carpenters say | it costs more to live here than in Miami— | but they get less money than the carpenters | there, Probably they are’ right, We don’t | -know. | But we do know that the only way to | end labor trouble here is to put before the | contractors and. workmen a fair and im- partial report, compiled by fair and im-; | partial men, which will show them whether they should or should not have the money | the workmen think they deserve. If it is necessary to send the President a petition signed by every voter in Key West, that is the thing to do. The survey has to be made. FIRST TELEPHONES On January 28, 1878, the world’s first telephone switchboard was placed in op- eration in New Haven, Conn. It was stalled to serve eight subscribers, and the first operators were boys. Instead of “Hello,” the early salutation was “Ahoy- ahoy.” In England, as our readers may know, they say “Are you there?” The first crude telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1857, and at first was used to connect only two persons— one on each end of a single wire. The new invention was at first eonsidered merely as an interesting scientific toy, but its practi- cal possibilities were soon realized. At first, telephones required the use | of the same instrument for both s:nding | and receiving... That is, one would talk in- to the mouthpiece and then quickly place it | to the ear to receive the words from the | person at the other end of the line, It is said that the early instruments bore a notice which cautioned: ‘Don’t talk with your ear, nor listen with your mouth.” When switchboards were first devised to serve a number of subseribers, an addi- tional telegraph line was necessary to en- able a subscriber to call “central.” Then the method of calling the operator by turn- ing a crank was devised, followed in time | by the present automatic connection made by lifting the receiver, and finally by the | } dial system now widely used in the larger | cities. The facilities which the telephone, and | e huge grindstone } telephone and radio combined,-afford us. r : aw | the people, ly- | Sheol SPLINT his ease | oblivious tothe urgent appeal to get busy | irntini today are remarkable and it seems almost: | incredible that in. the memory of so. many, now living such facilities did not exist at.all. And now we have television. Fortunate is the young man when eir- | cumstance permits him to begin his work- ing life with the thing he wants to do and | for which he is best fitted, but unfortunately | most men begin by doing anything that | comes to hand just so they can make a little | money, regardless of the job’s appeal to them or their suitability for the work. with the result that their latent talents under those conditions eannet be. properly de- veloped and they become misfits in life. | Now you're in the Antiy in- | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN THE SOLDIER ‘ | eee ‘Today’s Birthdays THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1941 ?
