Mr. T. WILSONasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether a retired Civil servant who accepts a position as temporary clerk in the Department he was formerly employed in is paid a salary irrespective of the amount of his pension while those who accept similar employment in a 1844W Department other than the one they were previously employed in are only paid, including their pension, the amount of salary they were receiving at the time they retired from the service; whether they are allowed to draw a war bonus; and whether, if they work overtime, they are paid for it?
§ Mr. BALDWINI am not aware of any such rule as is suggested in the question So far as suspension of or abatement of pension is concerned, the provisions of Section 20 of the Act of 1834 are applicable whether an officer is re-employed in his old Department or in some other Department.
