upon Wage payments for operators are set according to certain schedules, which are different in various localities, depending really the labor market of each locality. Into the wage payment of the chief operator another item enters, it being dependent upon the size of the exchange or upon the number of subordinates over whom she must exercise control. As it happens, wage schedules of operators and chief operators in the same locality uniformly bear the same numerical denotation. The Telephone Company, for its detailed needs, marks the one by use of an Arabic figure, the other, by Roman. For our convenience, no such separation is made; the Roman figure is used. The places and the number of persons (males excluded) at each exchange are listed below under wage schedules where they fall. |
