This was for two weeks work.
The affected employees sought an
explanation and were told they had
been receiving the annual $2l0 bonus
without having been certified for it
by Their division heads.
That amount of the bonus they
have received since February IL,
employees were told, had been taken
out Of their pay for the two weeks
just passed.
The spirit Of helpfulness which
nervadeS the Patent Office asserted
Itself when the plight of the af-
fected employees came to the notice
of those whose pay was not cut. These
each Clipped in part Of their sal
aries toward small relief sums for
their unfortunate fellow workers.
Orders that the employees should
not be certified for the bonus were
issued by Secretary Of the Interior
Fall, who has jurisdiction over the
Patent Office.
Under the bonus legislation Of
March 3, 1921, employees fall into Two
classes those who by law are en-
titlcd to the bonus and those VINO
must be certified for it by their di-
vision heads.
The men whose salaries were slash
ed yesterday fall into the latter class.
These either had received more than
5000 in salary increases during the
past two fiscal years or were new en-
ployes.
