There seding to be no equality of incidence While in the new distribution.. aome members of the Service gain handsomely, others remain at prac tically the same rate and others again will apparently suffer loss. It is even alleged that there will be some unfortunates who will be asked to refund e portion of the previous increments. It is, how ever, difficult to fulge at present exactly how the new scale will work ort as most of the employees are Lasble to calcolate whether the suggested salaries will be an in- provement on the old or will be to Their distinct disadvantage.
