refusal Of the order for the painting of the
official picture of the coronation of George

decline the job. The reason for Abbey's
attitude in the matter was the trouble and

REDUCES HOSPITAL WAGES
Charities Department Hopes to
Resume Old Rate Later.

AS the result Of an order recently issued
by the Department Of Public Charities
hundreds of hospital helpers employed by
the department will have their monthly
wages cut s. 90. Those affected by the
order are the helpers who have been en-
gagged since May l.
William ). McKenna, Third Deputy Com
missioner, said last night that the order
had been made necessary by the failure
of the Doard OF Estimate and Apportion-
rnent to make sufficient appropriation. II
was the Commissioners opinion, however.
that the cut would be only temporary
enc, as he expected that when the Esu-
mate Board met again after its recess 1t
would vote the money required TO restore
the old wage schedule.
1t was only short time ago that the
salaries Of the helpers were raised. Those
who had been receiving sl2 80, the maxi
mum, were increased to SIS, and the 80
employees to sl2 50. The pay of the newly
hired employees who are affected by the
order ranges from s. TO sl2 50 a month.
