WOMEN HARD TO PLEASE
Don't Know Good Thing When
They See It.


Baltimore American: 1t is the con-
slant complaint of the female clerks in
the treasury department that they are
overworked and underpaid. AS a mat
ter of fact the lowest salary paid to
female clerk in the department is $50
a month, While the average pay is $1,000
a year. The ladies are expected to be
at their desks at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing, and to work with some degree of
interest until 4 o'clock in the after
noon, ample time for a luncheon at
midday being of course, given. In sum-
mer there is always a half holiday on
Saturday, and usually there is a half
holidays on all days preceding the holi
days. when the department is closed.
Furthermore, every clerk has 80 days
leave of absence, with full pay, and,
also, is allowed 80 days sick leave.
Moreover, the department is exceed
ingly liberal in the matter of addition
al sick leave. Still, there are always
some clerks who insist that the govern
ment does not value their services
highly enough. designations, however,
are rare. A few days ago the lady
clerks employed in one division of the
office of the supervising architect, COM
planned collectively that their salaries
were too small and work too hard and
| asked for an increase. No immediate
attention was given to the complaint
but yesterday afternoon, about 20 min
utes before closing time, Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderslip walked down to the
Office to make personal investigation
of the dissatisfaction for the purpose
of passing upon the complaints He
found that two of the nine clerks had
gone to their homes, five were prepar-
ing to do so, and We're not at work, and
only two of the nine were at their
desks. The result is that, pending a
decision, the two clerks who had gone
home have been suspended, and the
five will probably be disciplined in some
way. Meanwhile, the salaries of the
ladies have not yet been increased.
