An interesting addition to the inior.
nation on the more or lees talked.oi
subject, do women make as efficient. em-
ployes as men2 is contained in an Of.
fetal report Of the Postoiiics Depart.
ment, made in answer 10 q request Of
the German government. az To what has
been the general experience Of our pos
tai cervice with women employees. The
report says women are employed In oil
branches Of the postal service, eIcep,
as letter carriers. clerks Ia the railway
service and inspectors, and that there
are no rules or regulations shutting
them out Of any branch Of the service.
The women employed are paid the came
salAry that men get for doing the sans
elsss Of work, and the conclusion Of u .
department Ia that the services Of wo-
men have proven almost, II rot quite,
as satisfactory a. those Of men. In the
the Postoffice department at Washing.
ton there are 1857 women employ ed,
who draw salaries ranping from $40 TO
1880 year, according 10 work done.
There are In the country 1870 Somen
Postmasters and II IL estimated about
$1,000 women are employed in the post
Offices. The later number has to be es-
tinated, because the department has no
record Of the employees Of postoiliccs
below the Presidential clats.
