Today Telephone Properties
Are Returned
After a year of Federal control the tele-
phone property, which makes up the Bell
Telephone System, is today returned to its
owners by the United States Government.
While the property has been properly
maintained, it is not the same property
which the Government took over on
August 1, 1918. It is not as adequate for
its job or as well manned as it was—that it
is not is in no way the fault of Federal
control, which was eminently fair. It is
due to causes for which neither the Govern-
ment nor the Companies are to blame.
A year ago today we were at war. Labor
and materials needed for both telephone
operation and construction were turned to
military uses. Some materials were so vital
to the carrying on of the war that even the
work of providing telephone facilities for
the Government was retarded and no part
of them could be spared for commercial
telephone purposes.
No less vital was tne Government need
for those skilled to create, maintain and op-
erate the vast intercommunication systems
necessary in modern warfare and in the con-
duct of the vastly increased Government
services. Thousands of telephone men
were already at the battle front. Thou-
sands more were under arms and still tele-t
phone experts and skilled operators went
into the service of the Government and
contributory industries by the tens of thou-
sands.
The reserves of plant and equipment
were drawn upon until they were entirely
used up and the experienced staff was
gradually depleted. To find others to take
the places of those who had gone was diffi-
cult—to train them takes time.
During the year came victory and the armi-
stice and instantly the business world sprang
into intense activity. The demands for tele-
phone service passed all former records.
To replace the exhausted reserves which
had been carried for just such purposes and
to replace the skilled forces to meet this un-
precedented emergency there began a rush
for construction, for readjustment, for high
pressure repairs, for feverish extensions. All
these must be continued with increasing
effort.
The return of the property ..omes in the
very midst of this race between an over-
powering demand and an upbuilding of a
system whose growth was held back and
whose forces were scattered by the vital needs
of war. Much progress has been made in
the upbuilding of this system, but far more
is stil required to meet the swift growth of
busi..ecs and 02, , to give "First Aid" to every
otht.r business and every other service strug-
gling against an unprecedented demand
The prosperity which creates this
emergency in service creates also a scarcity
of those desiring employment in the service.
Under such conditions telephone service
generally has not been and could not be up
to the pre. war standard. It is beyond human
power to immediately overcome the handi-
cap which the situation imposes.
There are no people in any public or
private endeavor who are working more
tirelessly or strenuously for the common
good than those of the Telephone Corn-
panies. Service has always been given—
more of it must be given and it must be
improved. That improvement in some
cases will take months. Eventually service
must win the race with demand.
