After-The-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service
WHILE the nation was under the stress in
cident to winning the war, we asked our
subscribers and the public to be patient
with the telephone service and to lsnit its use as
much as practicable in order that we might handle
the urgent business of the nation efficiently.
Now that the armistice has been signed and
hostilities have ceased, we are confronted with
problems of the reconstruction period, which are
equally as serious and which will require time and
patience for solution.
The policy of frankness which we hart prac
ticed prompts us to make it clear that the difficul
ties under which we are now operating are such'
that it will be many months before we can bring
- our service back to 'the standard of efficiency pre
vailing prior to the European war.
The abnormal increase m the volume of tele
)hone calls due to war activities created a need
or a greater number of operators and we have
been diligently building up an enlarged operating
force. When this situation was very well in hand
last fall the influenza epidemic played havoc with
our forces and our losses from illness and death
are still alarming. As a result of this combination
of circumstances, the percentage of new and inex
perienced operators is large and there is now a
serious shortage although our training schools are
graduating large classes every month.
Although our service has suffered from these
-causes the public has been considerate and we
have been able to handle a heavier traffic than
seemed humanly possible and have installed
, promptly and operated efficiently the telephone
plants required by the government at army camps
and other similar institutions.
The situation confronting our service is more
serious now than it was when fighting was in
progress. The public has relaxed from its ten
sion and is inclined to expect our service to at
once assume its pre-war efficiency. We deem it
our duty to make this frank statement and urge
you to continue the conservation of the service
which proved so helpful during the time of our
. nation's greatest need.
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the su
pervision of the Postmaster General, arid our loyal
organization is making a patriotic effort to perfect
the service. Your continued co-operation and
encouragement will be appreciated.
