"WARNING - The law makes it an offense, punishable by a fine or by imprisonment, or by both, for an operator or other employee of a telephone company willfully to make known to a fellow employee or anyone, other than the person for whom it was intended, the substance or the nature of a telephone conversation or message, which may in any manner become known to such employee.
All employees are therefore warned against giving to anyone any information, obtained in any way, regarding communications between telephone users.
