elimination of time and one-half pay
for overtime last July, is equivalent
to a cut of 40 per cent from the May
high level.
"Other wages and salaries Mr..
Gary said, would 'be eQuitably adjust
ed" though in what manner and to
What extent was not disclosed.
On the basis Of 80 per cent of pro.
auction on which the corporation is
now operating, It is estimated that
10000 men are affected.
