tract that' has been signed.
I can see a great need for all our
power: the power of Santee-Cooper
and the power, of the private com
panies. There is no need for hostil
ity; and all the power interest*
| can cooperate for the development
of the State. In so saying I speak
with appreciation of Senator Jef
feries and Senator Brown. What they
would like to do can be done with
out loans, or mortgages; and it can
be done under the full power of our
State Government. More than they
are planning can be done, for a low
er rate has been offered to us, a
guaranteed rate, under full legal pro-
itection.
At any rate, do you want to in
vest your money in a company vyhich
has a sword - hanging ov^r it and a
knift at its threat? Add if we do
not invest in it how shall it raise
the money to provide more facilitias
for service? Would the Government
provide us with power? Then' we
lose $4,841,497 in tax revenues.
We just can’t beat the old saying
that you can’t eat your *ake and
have it. *oo. It we lose $4,8 41,497 in
S’ate revenue, including hundreds of
thousa.n is of dollars in county taxes,
shaii we as*, the government to o H -.
erate our schools, build our roads
and operate cur health and police
service;? If what wc want is a sort
of Russianized State we can easily
, find a Stalin among us, for every
body is willing to be the'dictator. but
'nobody wants to b'e the victim o:
dictatorship. „
Those friends of mine whose ram
ies I called are in positions oi leader
ship in the State. They have attain
ed high position through years of at
tention to public affairs. They want
to see a glorious era for our State.
So do I; and so do you. With their
business training they can see that
;,the development of our State does'
i not call for threats and menaces to
big public services; nor need a great
enterprise like Santee-Cooper tie up
I its funds to support a Co-op parallel
line when it can sell all its power
I at even, a lower rate to the Co-ops
i without constructing a mile of line.
I do suggest an investigation by
’the Legislature; .it is„ not, or should
not be, a matter of politics: If men
| like Edgar A. Brown, James H.
Hammond, and Richard M. Jefferies
will sit at a table with the private
power managers with only the pur-
pose to sehve the State, by giving
abundant, reliable, dependable and
cheap electric power, the whole mat
ter can be resolved in friendly co-.
operation, With better service and
without a dollar of unnecessary in
vestment.

Telephone employees are well paid. Their wages
compare favorably with the wages paid by (Jther
concerns in the community for work requiring sim
ilar skills.
Telephone wage rates have been increased 117'.
since 1939, compared with an increase of less than
70'. in the cost of Hying .
Any way you look at it—wages, working condi
tions, pensions and benefits — telephone employees
are doing all right. And that’s the way we think
it should be. It takes all these things t(j> get and
keep good people. s 7'
But wages are not the whole story. Telephone
employees have the advantage of steady work, with
no* seasonal layoffs. They get vacations vrith pay,
up to three weeks, plus six holidays a year. In
addition, they enjoy the real security provided by
one of the best pension and benefit plans in any
industry. Among other things, it provides:
The telephone business is regulated in a way thaF
Unions and most other businesses are not. Federal
and State Commissions determine the rates we
charge for service. Any, increases in telephone
wages would force us to ask for an increase in
telephone rates.
WHAT ABOUT THE CONTRACT?
A pension wdth a minimum of $100 a
month, including Social Security, at age
65, and liberal provisions for earlier re
tirement.
Sickness and accident benefits, Up to a
full year’s pay, depending on length of
service.
Death benefits, up to one full year’s
wage, depending on length of' service.
Southern Bell and the CWA-CIO are engaged in
collective bargaining on wages at the request of
the Union. We earnestly hope that a settlement
can be reached that will be fair to the employees,
to telephone users and to the company. Meanwhile,
the public has every right to expect uninterrupted
service under the present contract between the
Company and the Union, which provides that, quot
ing the contract itself, “UNDER NO CIRCUM
STANCES MAY IT (The Contract) BE TERMI
NATED EARLIER THAN JUNE 5, 1950.”
