PAY CUTS TO
BE DISCUSSED
State Finance Committee
viii Hear Pleas.

Arguments why State employees
salaries recently cut should be re-
stored and why employees discharged
should be put back on the Job will
confront the State finance committee
Saturday.
The committee is to outline a pro-
gram for hearing complaints of the
disgruntled employees.
Most serious objection against the
cuts are expected from public service
commissioners, who obtained a
ruling from the attorney general ad.
verse to cuts from $4,000 to $4,000
year. The fire marshals department
has complained against the dis
charge Of its attorney, the insurance
department against clerk pay slashes
and the secreatry Of State against
the discharge Of State policemen.

campaign until after the city elec-

expects to meet soon to plan a city
wide education campaign.
