WORKERS. UNION HEAD
FIGHTS new PAY CUT
John W. Ginder Declares Many
Federal Employees Are Reduced
to Destitution.

Declaring that many Government en-
ployes have been reduced to absolute
destitution, while others have only the
barest necessities" John w. Ginder,
president of the District of Columbia
Federation of Federal Employees Un-
ions, yesterday assailed the new pay
cut proposal.
He said: 1.-THE proposals for the ex-
tension of the payless furlough and for
a further cut of IL per cent of salaries
over 81 900 per annum are most unjust.
Many Government employees have
been reduced to absolute destitution,
while others have only the barest
necessities. We find that this condi-
ton is almost general. Workers have
obligated themselves to the purchase Of
homes, payments on insurance and the
education of their children. Others are
caring for needy members Of their fam
lilies. Some are now doing without fuel
and needed clothing in order to pay
their bills. Even with such sacrifices
many are unable to meet the demands
upon them. Abundant evidence Of this
is afforded by the large list of property
to be sold for taxes. Any merchant Is
witness to the fact that reduced buy
ing power is destructive to business"
