FOR SHERIFF Our county newspaper goes places every week that I haven’t had time to reach yet, but I just want to tell my friends in every section of Brunswick county that I’ll be seeing you before the Primary Election in May. Every day I am receiving new enconragment in my campaign, and if my friends will continue to flock to my support, I know that I have nothing to worry about ex cept how to be a good sheriff. ED V. LEONARD Candidate For Sheriff You Have a Vital Stake in Telephone Bargaining: It’s YOUR money that pays telephone wages Southern Bell Wages and Working Conditions Already Are Among the Best — Any Increase in Wages Would Have To Be Paid By Telephone Customers — There Is No Other Way Wage Increases Can Be Paid You have a vital stake in telephone wage ne gotiations, for it’s the money you pay in to us that we pay out in telephone wages. Telephone employees are well paid. Their wages compare favorably with the wages paid by other concerns in the community for work requiring similar skills. Telephone wage rates have increased 117% since 1939, compared with an increase of less than 70% in the cost of living. But wages are not the whole story. Telephone employees have the advantage of steady work, with no seasonal layoffs. They get vacations with pay, up to three weeks, plus six holidays a year. In addition, they enjoy the real security provided by one of the best pension and benefit plans in any industry. Among other things, it provides: • A pension with a minimum of $100 a month, including Social Security, at age 65, and liberal provisions for earl ier retirement. • Sickness and accident benefits, up to a full year’s pay, depending on length of service. • Death benefits, up to one full year’s wage, depending on length of service. For all of these benefits, the employee pays nothing— the Companys pays all Any way you look at it—wages, working con ditions, pensions and benefits—telephone em ployees are doing all right. And that’s the way we think it should be. it takes all these things to get and keep good people. The telephone business is regulated in a way that Unions and most other businesses are not. Federal and State Commissions determine the rates we charge for service. Any increases in telephone wages would force us to ask for an increase in telephone rate?. What About The Contract ? Southern Bell and the CWA-CIO are engaged in collective bargaining on wages at the request of the Union. We earnestly hope that a settle ment can be reached that will be fair to the em ployees, to telephone users and to the company. Meanwhile, the public has every right to expect uninterrupted service under the present con tract between the Company and the Union, which provides that, quoting the contract itself, “UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY IT (The Contract) BE TERMINATED EARLIER THAN JUNE 5, 1950.” Southern Bell Telephone And Telegraph Company
