LUMMUS, Justice. The eleven plaintiffs are laborers employed by the city of Lynn in its refuse and garbage department. All are in the classified civil service under G.L.(Ter.Ed.) c. 31, § 1 et seq. By ordinance each is entitled to receive 70 cents an hour, or $30.80 a week. The economic situation of the city led to the adoption of a budget appropriating to each department for the year 1932 a sum sufficient to pay nine-tenths of the salaries and wages in the department. No reduction in salary or wages was made. Instead, each officer and employee was asked to relinquish to the city one-tenth of his compensation, and to sign a contract to that effect. All the employees of the refuse and garbage department did so, except the eleven plaintiffs.
