LOAN AGENTS GAIN
BY new PAY ORDER
Treasury Employees Who Can
not Get Money Between Pay
Days Make Protest

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The new
Treasury Department order that
clerks and employees shall not be
paid between pay days is causing a
lot Of protest in the Department. This
protest has not taken any public form,
for the clerks say they are afraid to
make fight against the new order
openly. Nevertheless, they do not
like it,
II is even asserted that the new or
der is of benefit to no one but loan
agents of Washington, except that it
makes things easier for the disburs-
ing clerks. Many of the clerks get
small pay and have all they can do
to support their families. Under the
old order of things, when they ran
behind between pay days, they could
draw some money in case of neces-
sity. Now they have to wait until
pay day rolls around. It is declar-
ed that this obliges a good many to
borrow small sums from loan agents
between pay days
