CITY CLEANING MEN
GET REDUCED WAGE
$50 in Street, Garbage. Ash
Forces Receive Cuts of is
or "a Cents a Day.

Reductions in the pay of $50 street
cleaners and garbage and ash col
lectors has been made. effective this
week, it became known at the Dis
trict building today.
The majority of these men have
had their pay cut by 16 cents a day.
while some will receive "A cents a
day less.
Under the revised schedule. the
lowest paid will receive S1S.52 A
week, a s compared with last week $
wage of $19.4S, a reduction of 96
cents week.
There are $50 men employed in the
street cleaning, garbage. ash and
trash services. SO that the readjust-
ment affects approximately half of
the force.
This is the first readjustment of per
diem wages at the District building
that has affected any large number of
men since war prices began TO recede
Reasons for Rendjustment.
1t is understood that the readjust
ment in the pay of these men was
ming low in the refuse disposal de-
partment. but also, one official stated
because of change in the wages
paid day laborers outside the District
service.
The pay of these men. as we'll as OF
all the other 1000 per diem workers
of the District government. will have
10 be revised again some time in
June.
The Legislative. executive and ju-
dicial appropriation act provides that
all employees whose pay is fixed from
time to time by wage boards shall no,
be paid the s240 bonus after July 1.
All of the per diem work - Of the
District fall within that class. The
loss of the bonus by these men
would take .6 cents a day from their
pay.
Propose Action for Fiscal Year.
Joseph II. Hurley president of the
City Employees Association. indicated
today that his organiza tion will ash
that 16 cents he added TO the basic
pay OF the men in July, when the
bonus terminates.
The city heads probably will direct
the wage board to begin considera
ton OF the per diem schedule to-
ward the end of May. or early in
June. TO determine whether the en-
tire 76 cents should be added to base
rates in place Of the bonus.
The wage board. in readjusting the
schedule of rates. gives due con-
sideration 10 the rates paid for SINH
lar work outside the service, so that
the decision will depend to large
extent on the prevailing wages in
private industry at that time.
Morris Hacker. superintendent of
street cleaning and city refuse. stated
today that the labor situation. with
respect to his several municipal serv-
ices is steadily improving. There
has been a decline in the heavy turn
over of men that prevented during the
war. he said.
