granted salary increases ranging from 5300 to J500 per yew . The 1947-48 salary schedule was adopt­ed Tuesday night at the regular meeting of the Board of Education, held in the Franklin School.

The new salary plan stipulated a $500 increase to those mcmlacrs of the faculty with three or more years of experience, $400 for those with two years, and $300 for less than two years, Only six teachers fall in those groups which do not get the full $500.

Maximum salaries for 1947-48 were fixed a* follows: For teachers with two years of experience, $2,- 600; for three years, $2,800; for a bachelor’s degree, $3,600; and for a master’s degree, $3,800.

The meeting was opened by Mr. Edward C. Potter pro lem, who made an excellent address.

Mr. C. B. Ames moved that the club be known as the Leonard Wood Club of Metuchen. Mr. L. E. Molineux seconded the motion, t ol. Dinwuidie spoke, in favor of the motion and advocated that the Metuchen organization* be the nucleus of clubs to be formed elsewhere in the county. Mr. Wm. Drake and Mr. R. B. Powell spoke on the motion, which was unanimously adopted.

Nominations for president of the club were called for and Mr. ,Coles nominated Col. Wm. Dinwiddie. Mr. E. J. Drake seconded the I the Pacific war

Following the the Houston w

name of Col. Dinwiddie, and there were no other nominations, and Col.Dinwiddie was elected unanimously. The Colonel accepted the office and took the platform, from which he made a speech both reminiscent and prophetic, both inspiring and eloquent.

Portraying public problems, he made a logical argument demon­strating the fitness of General Wood as an executive with special train­ing for the Presidency in the present national and world crisis.

In closing he introduced Judge Wilfley of New York; who Was Attorney General in the Philippines, a personal friend and public as­sociate of Wood.

Judge W ilfley spoke most ably and kept the fixed interest and evident approval of the audience throughout his entire address. The j £u club next undertook completion of its official list by electing a Vice j m the Scand Chairman; to which position Mr. C. B, Arnes* was chosen unanimously I |amj Bulgii and accepted the honor. Mr. H. Ramsay Crowell was then elected Secre- 'Scotland I tary and Mr. Peter Gay elected Treasurer.. By unanimous vote, the Chairman was empowered to select an Executive Committee of nine members and also other sub-committees at his early convenience and report at the next meeting of the club.

Mr. C. A. Prickitt made a motion that the women of Metuchen be invited to join the Leonard Wood Club in full membership. Mr. Ames seconded the motion, Mr. Allison and others spoke in its favor and the motion was unanimously adopted.

There is no excuse for a Telephone strike

THE POSITION WE TAKE . . .The New Jersey Bell Telephone Company wants to be fair about wages and to do what is best for both employees and telephone users. Wages that are top low are not faif- to the employees—who do the work. Wages that are too high are not fair to the public— who buy the service-

why we found it necessary on January 6th of this year to ask for higher rates for telephone serv­ice. These increased rates now be­ing sought before the Public Util­ity Commission include no provi­sion for further general wage in­creases. :

A comprehensive survey shows, that telephone wages compare fa­vorably with those paid by other concerns in New Jersey for work requiring similar skills and train­ing. Not only do present telephone wages compare favorably with other industries, but the same is true of vacations, holidays, sick­ness benefits, pensions and work­ing conditions generally. .

WHAT WE ARE ASKED TO P A Y . . .The demands of the Telephone unions include a general wage in­crease of $12 or more per week, a union shop, reductions in length of wage schedules, increased va­cation payments, additional holi­days, and increased pension pay­ments.

WHAT WE PAY NOW . . .

Here are rates of pay for typical telephone jobs, not including overtime. There is extra pay for Sundays, holidays, and evening and night duty,

Union demands for-increased pay and other benefits would increase yearly operating costs of this Company by over $25,000,00frrTo put it another way, the increases requested would be the equiva­lent, on the average, of adding $29 to the yearly telephone bill of each subscriber.

Top rate pay for a five-day fortv- hour week for the highest paid telephone craftsmen is $79; for switchboard operators. $44. Sten­ographers receive a top rate of $48 for a thirty-five hour week. Starting rates for untrained be­ginners range from $26 to $30 a week depending on the locality and job classification. Two-thirds of our employees work in areas where the highest maximum and starting rates are paid.

OUR EFFORTS TO AVOID A STRIKEWe have been ively for man. unions. We are open for whatc ings may be ntj<
