@® We have offered wage increases ranging up to $6 per week for telephone employees represented by unions with whom we are bargaining for new contracts. We have taken this action because we are convinced
that it is in the best interests of both employees and
telephone users.
There is currently an upward movement in wages being paid in other industries. We have made the offer of increases to our employees in line with our longstanding policy of paying wages comparable with those paid by other employers for similar skills in the com-
munities we serve,
High quality service can be furnished telephone users
only if we continue to pay wages which will attract and
hold capable people.
Costs Up More Than Rates
All costs of furnishing your service—wages, taxes and other expenses—have risen sharply in recent years. Wages account for more than 55% of the total expense of the business. Wage increases alone since 1939 total annually $7,000,000 more than rate increases. The prices ‘you pay for telephone service have not

We have filed with the Public Service Commission of Indiana a supplemental request for an increase in rates.
What other alternative is there? What would you do

only answer to today’s higher costs is higher rates.

Today an improved and expanded telephone service
