REDUCING SALARIES.
Many Old and Faithful Employees Have One
Third of Their Pay Cut Off.

Many Old and Faithful Employees Have One
Third of Their Pay Cut Off,
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Deep and lorg COM
plants are being uttered by the old employees in
the departments because of reductions of their
salaries of late Quite number of men and
women, who have served from fifteen to twenty
years in the departments. and who have risen
from 5000 year to 81, 800, and whose efficiency
has never been questioned are being reduced
to $1,000. The purpose of this is twofold;
first, to drive away the employees; second,
to create surplus which will enable the employ
ment of new people. One of the strongest argu-
ments that has yet been made against the enter
ing of departmental positions is the fact that not
one out OF ten of these employees has resigned
when their salaries have been reduced. 1t is i'm
probable that one out Of ten would resign If his
or her salary was reduced from 81, 800 to $500 a
year 1t seems that when one has served num-
Der of years in government position here his or
her hands become tied and he or she is helpless
The hardship of these wholesale reductions Of
salaries is felt the more keenly by these people
when the fact is considered that new appointees
are given large salaries at the beginning Quite
number of men have been appointed to ST. 800
positions by grace of the reduction of an old and
efficient employee even when the new man has
not the slightest conception of his duties and
has had not days experience The reason so
many reductions are taking place just at this
time is that the fiscal year ends on the Both Of
the present month.

lines between white and black so indefinitely
drawn as here so far as official position is con-
cerned. Few places in the country, and espe-
cially far North and South, will tolerate colored
policemen. White men feel themselves above
arrest by colored policeman. Here how
ever, they are appointed, and serve the
same as white man, and no one thinks
of resisting arrest at the hands of colored man
simply because the officer is colored 1t was ex-

Every indication now points to the defeat Of

whom the wicked ways of tho world are as q

further than Boston, and the long walks over
the South-shore roads which he contemplated
