TO CUT WAGE OF
 STORE EMPLOYES
Clerks and Butchers May Re
 CeiVe 25 Per Cent. Slice

Cuts in wages amounting in prac- | tically every instance to 25 per cent 1 of the present salary will shortly be- come effective in several of the lead ing groceries and meat markets throughout the city and may be fol- lowed by similar action in the cases of smaller dealers if plans now be- ing made by the managers of those establishments mature. The cuts will be uniform, it is expected, making | it of but slight benefit for employees to give up their present positions for similar places in other grocery stores oror markets. It is probable that the Chamber of Commerce will be asked to serve as a medium through which the managers and proprietors of stores may come together to discuss the new wage scale.
 One of the city's leading grocers explained this morning that the at titude of store labor throughout the
 war and period immediately follow ing the war has been such that store keepers have been subjected to 'hold- ups" figuratively speaking. Men re- ceiving the highest wages have proven incompetent In addition, clerks re- fuse to adapt themselves to the needs
 of the establishment and continually observe a Strlct Ilne or UemarkatlOn
 between the duties of a clerk, sales
 man and butcher, making it extreme
 ly difficult for the manager.
 It is the belief of a number of
 merchants that better results can be
 accomplished by cutting the salaries
 of present employees and retaining
 their services thans by discharging
 those now employed and hiring new
 and cheaper help. Those taking new
 positions will invariably be required
 to work for less than their old sal- aries and will be handicapped also
 by the fact that for time they must be regarded as green" help. For
 the merchant, the hiring of ineX-
 perienced workers will tend to de-
 stroy the smooth-running machinery
 of his business, it is explained.
