The Public Has Paid the Bill Every telephone subscriber in Seattle is paying a higher toll this year than last. It is paid because the company represented to the state public service commission that it must meet, among other things, the higher cost of labor. Now the telephone girls are calling the company’s hand. They are asking for an increase that would give them a decent min- imum wage—a wage that would amount to $19 a week after three years’ of service. If the company fails to acknowledge the just demands of these girls it has buncoed the public. And the public will demand a reckoning.
