ration of a 80 per cent pay cut of

STRONGER CASE

Regarding other cuts which the
employees contended were really
temporary deductions, or enforced
loans, made with the understand
ing the city would make good
when funds became available,
Judge Brennan said the DSR
claimants presented "a much
stronger case Than The claimants
IN the supreme court test.
Either those cuts were trrnpo-
rary deductions, he held, or The
commission was guilty Of studied
and deliberate doubledealing" with
its employees
