CONDITIONS STILL ABNORMAL IN THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS, During the war c were all ail"eetel Iy the unusual prices a:il I't'ten !v the scarcity t" the jjihkIs we needed. A ue all know, in the year and a half the war lated, li ices io-e rapidly and are still very high. .And while prices kept going up, because of war condi tions it became more and more difficult to obtain materials aiif capable employees. The telephone companies, like most other industries, were hit hard by increased expenses and by the scarcity of labor and equipment. And things arc not yet back on a normal basis and probably will not be lor some time. While we hope it will not be long before all our former employees are out of the army and on the job again: and we expect soon to be able to get promptly all the equipment we Heed Still, the high price of materials and the generally high operating expeti-es are problems that we shall no doubt have to meet lor i-everal vears.
