SURVEY CLERKS
DENY REPORT
Of LOWER PAY
THE REAL SITUATION.

Not clerks salary in the en-
tire Geological Survey is reduced.
Sixteen scientists and technical
experts are reduced in salary to
meet a lower appropriation than
usual for Typographical work.
Five topographers and assistant

the same reason.
Two scientists recommended

The report published this morning to
the effect that the salaries of clerks IN
the Geological Survey have been reduced
Is totally without foundation.
Not one clerks salary in that branch
Of the Government service has been re-
duced, nor is such a reduction intended
or contemplated.
Foundation for the misleading state
ment that the salaries Of the Survey
clerks had been cut down 20 to . per
cent all along the line does not exist.
The nearest approach to such a condi-
ton of affairs Is the fact that a reduc-
ton Of $4,000 in the appropriation for
typographical work by the Survey
necessitated the reduction Of the sal
aries of certain scientists and technical
experts. But no clerks are affected by
this enforced economy.
