CHURCHES TO OBSERVE 2 D. C. PER DIEM WORKERS MAY FACE CUT IN PAY Local Wage Board Expected to Recommend Small Reduction to Comm{ssioners. A slight reduction in the i of the 2,000 per dlem laborers and mechan- ics of the city government may be recommended to the Commissioners by the District wage board this week. Maj. Cary H. Brown, chairman of the wage board, expects to call a mecting of the board tomorrow, but he was unable to say yesterday what the recommendations would be. Last December the board proposed to the Commissioners that a cut of approximately § per cent in the varl- ous classes of per diem workers be made. The city heads, however, took ‘| no actlon and directed the board to bring gnother report prior to April. Whether the board will again recommend a § per cent reduction is problematical, but it is generally ex- pected that mome cut, perhaps not that much, will be suggested to the Commissioners. These per diem men are the only clty employes whose pay can be fixed by the Commissioners. They are paid from lump sum appropriations, and the city heads must fix the scale.
