Thousands more workers, not in- cluded in the figures of the depart- ment, also had their wages slashed in this period. The department proves Doak to be a liar doubly by Stating that the above figures refer to only direct wage-cuts—they do! not include wage-cuts resulting from putting workers on the Hoover stag- ger system of one or two days a week, called by th edepartment “al- terations in operation schedules.” the respective fields.
