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.
