The high cost of living in Evanston baa caused the Chicago Telephone company to grant an increase to their operators at the Evanston exchange. The new schedule of pay took effect March 1. The increase came as a result of the difficulties the company in Evanston and on the Immediate North 8hore has experienced in se- curing enough operators for the ex- changes. The lack of factories in Evanston and North Shore towns has con- siderable to do with the scar- city of girls. In towns where fac- tories are more abundant the supply of operators is much greater than here. The company has at various times employed girl students from the university at the switchboard. Several girls from the oratory school have earned part of their expenses by working spare hours at the local exchange. The present increase falls more on the new operators than on the old- The girls formerly started at $20 a month, with extra pay for Sundays. They will receive about $29 a month, allowing time and one-half for Sun- day work. The present schedule naa changed the rate from a monthly to a dally rate. The present schedule provides 90 cents a day for the first month, with an increase of 6 cents a day for the second and third months, and a higher rate for employee who have been with the company longer. Some of. the operators under the present schedule receive $38 and S40 a month, and these girls will not re- ceive any substantial increase.

There are at present forty-nine operators on the payrool of the exchange. The girle work in elghf- hour shifts. They are on duty eight and one-half hours at a time, but are allowed one-half hour for rest, which they may take out in intervals of ten or fifteen minutes each. This gives them a relief every two hours from the nervous straln.
