CONTEMPLATING PROTEST.
American Packers May Appeal Against
Germany.

BERLIN. March 20.-TIie result reported
in New York OF the enquiry instituted D.
Messrs. Armour and other large meat
preservers into the German imperial de-
cree Of February IS. forbidding the i'm
pOrtation after October 1 OF any meats on
which preservative solutions have been
used, is published here.
The report states that the American
Preserved Meat Trade proposes TO ask the
Washington Government TO protest.
The local tiade here regards such a
step as wholly useless because the order
containing the regulation against the use
OF borax applies equally TO Germany as
well as foreign countries.
Oficers Of the local meat trade organi-
zations say that they are satisfied that
borax and its salts are not Indispensable
for preserving inasmuch as American meat
on which no borax has been used has been
successfully imported into Switzerland
and American hams into Leipzig
The German Government Is convinced
that innocuous chemical substitutes are
available, and importers are inclined 90
think that borsx and It's salts are only
indispensable when IL Is e case Of averting
fies ia summer time.

Not to Investigate Charges.
DISCRIMINATION is ALLEGED
Members Of the Fair Sex Say Heads Of
Departments Do Eot Give Their AP-
plications for Employment the Consid-
e-ation That Is Due Them.

At the Civil Service Commission this
morning it was stated that no t=Sestiga-
tion would be made Of the alleged prac-
tice cf department chiefs to discriminate
against women in their selection of per-
sons from the eligible lists for employ
ment. The matter OF selection, IL was
said. is one which does not lie within the
province Of the Commission
Powers of the Commission
The powers Of the Commission in the
matter are stated IN one CT its earliest
annual reports. When employees are re-
quireG TO fiji yacaucies existing in the de-
partucnts, it is the duty Of che Commits
sion to furnish the names Of a suffieien Mt
number Of eIigi5les from the list but the
matter Of the designation OF the sex lies
altogether with the appointing officer.
II the department calls for women the
Commission is requirec TO furnish women
The applications received from the weaker
sex are always fa- in excess of those re-
ceived from men, in spite Of the fact that
the number Of positions to which their
appointment would be practicable is in
the minority.
Some Prejrdice Alleged.
The claim has been made that preiu-
dice against women as clerks existed to
such an extent among the heads Of de-
partments that even in cases where wom-
en- stood higher on the eligible list than
men their rames were passed over and
men appointed.
