CHAMBER OF COMM
MEMBERS SHO
By Mrs. Anna Hamilton Wood
"They also serve who only stand ]
and wait."
The words of tho blind poet were
freighted with a deep modern signifi
cance to the members of the Chamber j
of Commerce, their families and j
friends this afternoon when they were '
I conducted upon a tour of inspection
through the intricate working system |
of the Bell Telephone Company's
plant In Walnut street. Every detail
of this busy public servant of 11,286;
stations in all, was willingly explained |
from the storage battery capable of;
working 36 hours at a stretch with- j
out being recharged to the repeating
coils upon which the volume of a
voice is strengthened before passing j
out upon the wires, then on past the !
great cables each tube enclosing 1,200 i
wires and the switchboards where,
dwells the "unseen voice" so familiar
to us all.
The first item of particular inter-1
est to the outsider is the marvelous |
system of electric signals all over the
plant, all such work being Installed by i
the Western Electric Company. It is
through these that 60 per cent, of the ]
troubles reported are located and at- j i
tended to before the general public |
is aware that anything is wrong.
Tho heart of the hivo Is the long!
upper room where the Central girls
sit. There Is a force of about 150 but
each has a tour of duty of from three
to six hours with flfteen-mtnute relief
periods and the lunch hour. The old
idea that a troublesome operator sits !
idby chattering with her companions
while the subscriber frantically shakes
the receiver hook Is obliged to go the
way of all dreams when one stands at

HFLGFE M THE PULLMAN COMPANY
Cleanliness, h
of absolute cleanliness the large number
of cars, constantly in operation in every part of the
country under conditions of dust and dirt unavoidable
in railroad operation and annually accommodating
approximately twenty-five million passengers, requires
an elaborate organization trained by years of experience
and maintained at a large annual expenditure.
The modern Pullman car contains everything
essential to cleanliness and sanitation which the best
experts upon these subjects have been able to devise.
After every trip each car is thoroughly cleaned and
at frequent intervals fumigated in accordance with
state and federal standards.
To accomplish this three hundred and eighty three
cleaning stations, with over four thousand yard em
ployes, are maintained in various cities.
By such thorough and consistent effort every
Pullman passenger receives the greatest possible pro
tection from the discomfort of dust and dirt usually
associated with railway travel.
NOVEMBER 22, 1916.
the head of the row of high stools and
| watches the flying hands insert tho
I plugs. The switchboards ore built in
sections which are subdivided into
multiples. Small lamp caps give the
signal. An inserted plug into the
answering jack and "Number, please?"
| comes out of space to the party at the
i end of the wire. Then a plug into the
multiple jack and the circuit is com
plete. Answering 60.000 calls daily—
there were 95.330 calls tho day fol
lowing election—keeps brains and
hands too busy for trifling even if it
were not for the five supervisors, each
; of whom has watch over the work, the
I speech and manners of six or seven
| girls.
Another erroneous idea is that of
;the woman who claims that "Central
listens to everything I say!" Dear
lady, sh<> does not because she does
not want to and because she is too
fully occupied. But she can. by open
ing her listening key cut In when she
; thinks it necessary. Sometimes it
proves a blessing as in the case of a
night operator last summer. A Har
risburg woman was alone in the house
with her mother who was taken sud
denly ill. Repeated calls to the Yisit
ing Nurses' Association brought no
help and the operator then gave ad
vice from her personal store of med
ical knowledge which was of much as
sistance to the anxious daughter.
There are an Infinite number of stories
of telephone operators giving warning
which saved lives and property and
they are not all In the movies, either.
Tho selection and training of girls
for the switchboard is no simple mat
ter. The new applicant is put through
a certain test, usually by the chief
operator herself, much of which is un
intelligible to her but which gives am
ple opportunity for displaying frayed
nerves or physical and moral weak
-1 nesses. Then follows a month or six
weeks of instruction for which three
special teachers are regularly em
ployed. Examinations are taken and
must be passed before a Kir I can take
a stool before the board. No uniforms
are required and all is done for their
comfort and welfare. A blue and white
diningroom, open twelve h-urs out of
twenty-four, provides a menu at loss
cost than the home table could do.
Fancy getting at present, stew for !>c
a plate, corn 2c, sandwiches 3c, pie 3c
and tea, coffee or milk free! What
will they cost after the President's em
bargo on foodstuffs, I wonder? There
is a handsomely furnished retiring
room done in tan and rose and a cir
culating library for the girls' use.
The toll or long distance switch
boards are entirely separate from
those used for local calls and require
special study because of their code of
abbreviations, etc. Chief of interest
here is the culculagraph stamping ma
chine fastened to a clock which proves
beyond all question the exact time of
a call.
