WALK OUT
2,40O on Per Diem Payrolls
Meet Tonight to Protest
New Wage Scale.

A walk -out OF 2,4o0 per diem en-
ployes OF the District, which would
tie up operations OF the water. sewer,
and street cleaning departments OF the
city. may result from an Indignation
meeting to be held tonight at o'clock
in Odd Fellows Hall, 1905 NJ street
northwest.
District employees will meet TO de
eide on some course OF action" TO
force the District Commissioners to
recede from their recent decision TO
establish the rate of pay for per diem
employees without taking into con-
sideration the rate OF pay in effect
at the navy yard, where employees do
similar work.
Since July I, when the new sched-
ule of pay was announced. the per
diem employees have made known to
me their dissatisfaction over the
wage scale" said Joseph Hurley.
president OF the City Employees As
sociation. today.
WANT NAVY YARD SCALE.
"The men have demanded an indig-
for tonight. They want their pay
equal that OF Navy Yard employees"
According to Hurley. Navy Yard en-
ployes are being paid 76 cents a day
more than District employees. He de-
clares this is unfair, as II has always
been the policy OF the District Com
mission to make the rate for local
Government employees the same as for
Federal Government employees.
THE commission changed its policy
recently" said Mr.. Hurley, land es-
tablished a new wage scale without
regard to the schedule OF pay in the
Navy Yard and in the shipyards. The
per diem employees want higher pay
and will decide tonight on some ac-
tion to get the pay schedule revised" :"
President Hurley will preside to-
night. 1t is expected the hall will be
crowded with District employees.
The per diem SCALE in the District
ranges from 1925 to $8.4O a day, in
cluding the 76 cents a day bonus.
The navy yard scale ranges from $3.6S
to $40 a day. not including the 10
cents a day bonus, which Is extra.
ASK BONUS As "EXTRA."
an making a sch hedule of pay for
District employees. the Commissioners
included the bonus in the basic pay"
said Hurley. "We believe we are
entitled to have the bonus as an extra
payment.
Drastic action may be taken at to-
nights meeting, as the men are
aroused over the condition. Unless
there are some signs Of a change in
the rate schedule q walkout may
result"
There are per diem employees in the
water, sewer. street cleaning and
surface departments. repair shop. and
many other branches Of the District.
