Salaries Slashed for U S Emploees by 15 Percent
President Roosevelt ordered a flat 15 percent cut in salaries of government officers and employees to begin next Saturday and run until June 40. The move, aimed at balancing the budget, is based on a 21.97 percent drop in the cost of living since mid 1928 and will not exceed 15 percent. The measure saves an estimated 40 million dollars for the current year and 120 million annually if continued. The order replaces the prior 1/3 percent furlough cut from the Hoover era.
