Interior Department Explains Wage
Reduction, But Refuses to
Make Names Public.

The pclicy inaugurated by former
Secretary Hitchcock. Of the Department
Of the Interior. the year before he re-
tired. not TO make public the reduction
Of clerks, is still followed. There were
many changes made in the clerical
force Of the department on the first Of
this month but only the appointments
and promotions we're made public.
There were a number OF clerks, most
" high-grade women clerks, who had
their salaries cut from 500 TO S400, they
were clerks who had been in the office
a number Of years, and who had en-
tered the service In the lower grades
Il was intimated today that all the
preferred positions are 70 go to men.
and that there will be further reduc-
tions among the high-grade women
clerks The reason assigned for not
making public the names Of the clerks
whose salaries have been reduced IS
that to do so would be humiiating to
the clerks.
The Interior Department is the only
one that follows this policy.

tomac fats. which are being filed n
with mud dredged from the tidal basin
and the Georgetown channel gave way
early this morning, and with a terrific
roar tore down more than 100 feet Of
the dam.
The break occurred almost opposite
the bathing beach on the Seventeenth
street side OF the flats Water and
mud washed over the speedway, and did
considerable damage. The overflow
drained into one Of the pools at the
bathing beach. converting il into a
regular mud hole.
yNorkmen were set to work immedi-
ately repairing the damage, and BY noon
today the break had been filled in. Mud
and water are pumped steadily from the
dredges in the channel, and il is said
the water was given a chance to settle
in the fats The retaining wall around
the flats is nearly five miles in circum-
ference.
