them correspond with the wages paid
10 the eastern cities, instead OF con.

readJus! ment take effect Jan. 1. He
protested also against what is known
as the piece plan OF work, which
Commandaut Blunt proposes to put
into effect at once. He informed the
president that the employees at the
arsenal we're working under protest,
and asked that the old rates be re.
stored OF once. pending an investiga-
ZION to determine whether the read
Jussment proposed is just snd rea-
sonsble. The protest has been
before the war department for some
time. where. owing to the illness Of
Secretary Alger, 1t was reserte ed TO
the assistant secretary, who is in
clined to permit the new rates TO
continue in force for 80 days, during

their protests. It Is expected that
the president will act upon the ap-
peal promptly. and Mr.. O'Connell
believes that the action will Re
