Four thousand workers at the navy yard faced consternation yesterday as rumors spread of a general wage cut. It was clarified that only a few trades are affected and the reductions are small. House framers coppersmiths tinners and pipe fitters lose a few cents per day, while builder makers and caretakers lose slightly more.
