An Appeal to Secretary Carlisle.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
VIII not the newspapers of Washington

their health. especially Of the unfortunate
women. who are compelled to toll no hard

employees appeal to Mr.. Carlisle to remedy
this state Of things and increase the force
in the bureau, II the necessity exists for
extra work. The government of the United
States ought to be ashamed Of itself-ffrs
