who feel that General Francis E Spinner did as
much for women wage earners as Lincoln did for
slaves. When General Spinner was appointed
Treasurer of the United States in 1862 he carried
out his faith in the business capacity of the sex
by forcing to a successful issue his plan of en-
ploying women in the government departments.
When he first took up his duties at the Treasury
he decided that the score or more of men who were
cutting banknotes when they ought to have been
fighting for their country might just we'll be re-
placed by women and that IL he ever meant TO
strike a blow in their behalf right then was the
time to begin. 1t was easy work to convince
the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr.. Chase. to his
way of thinking, but he finally allowed to

This wedge in the Treasurer told the Score

and that they could do the work twice as fast at
half the cost in money. This sounded so feasible

that this memorial should take the shape OF a
