The document is a series of correspondence between the United Telephone Company and Honorable George Schwabe regarding the impact of proposed minimum wage increases on the company's operations in Oklahoma. The company argues that implementing a 65 cent minimum wage for operators would result in significant rate increases for telephone services, which could potentially lead to a loss of customers. They request that minimum wage exemptions for telephone exchanges be increased and urge Schwabe to carefully consider the implications of proposed wage increases on the independent telephone industry. The document includes operating statements for telephone exchanges in Skiatook, Sperry, Collinsville, Haskell, Coweta, and Porter, showing the financial impact of the proposed minimum wage increase.
