Cuts Held Good.

This action, taken by the treasury
department on the advice of Special
Agent Bean and his colleagues,
brought forth general and loud pro-
test from those whose wages were
cut to the secretary of the treasury.
The protest not only was made from
San Francisco, but also from New
Orleans and other eastern ports.
The treasury department, however,
in recent letter written in reply to
the protest of the men affected here,
upheld the action taken, although the
department acknowledged that the
rule of the civil service prohibiting
the reduction of wages had been VIC
lated.
