FflO.f PAC.E ONE How the Telephone Strike Can Be Settled telephonp strike could be settled today if the Union would accept our offer to arbitrate the major demands. In the belief the principal demand of the striking Union centers around I he ('ompany has offered to submit the wage to a panel of five impartial citizcns. appointed by (iovernor Jester, and the iiovernors of the other four states in which the Company operates.

This offer still stands and the Company urges its reconsideration by the officials. The Union declares the present wage scale is low. The Company believes this scale compares favorably with wages paid for equal skills and training in the various communities it serves. In fairness to the public, the employes and the Company, we believe these differing viewpoints can best be resolved by the arbitration pane! of men acquainted with conditions in this territory. Such a panel should be able to arrive at an equitable finding on whether or not present telephone company wages should be adjusted.

The Company has further offered to broaden the subjects for arbitration so that they include not only basic wages, but such other demands as length of time for employes to reach top rates, wage differentials between different communities, longer vacations, and of absence for Union officers. Other issues raised by the Union such as Union shop, check-off, jurisdiction of work and the like, are in the opinion, not proper subjects for arbitration. It is our earnest hope that the leadership will still accept our offer to join with us in a request for arbitration to the Governors of the five states in our area. In the meantime, recognizing our responsibility to the public welfare, we reiterate our pledge to do our utmost to provide as much service as possible in this SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY arp fair and enuitable to employer and employe alike. that is punitive with reference to either of these I important groups has no right or place in the laws of our Jester that "no of the right work to earn what he could be permitted, either law, by regulation, or by the preservation of organized labor as an absolute ne- he He added he be- lieved the shop bill will destroy union labor or take away the right of collective bar- gaining.

Labor Prestige Impaired can deny that organized prestige has been impaired in recent Jester said, both by the immaturity of some of its leadership and by the inequitable underwriting and support it has received from certain governmental agencies and bureaus, "In my judgment, labor union leaders and members during the past few' years have relied entire- iy too much upon governmental regulation and upon governmental insistence for the recruitment of its members.
