WOMEN CLERKS SEE END
Departments Find Men Can 10 the
work and Are More
TractabIe,
(From a stan correspondent

Prom a STAN Correspondent
WASHINGTON. July 22-(speciaLl-The
day Of the woman clerk in the government
service bids fair to pass The women
clerks themselves do not realise the fact
a. yet, but the men do and are already
predicting the arrival Of the time when they
viii be absolutely alone in the government
departments.
In three OF the executive departments Of
the government here women are being got
rio of. In the Department OF Commerce and
Labor there are no women clerks. In
several Of the bureaus OF this department.
located outside of the main building, some
women clerks are employed, but in the
main office there are no females.
Women are slowly disappearing from the
Postofiice department. and the number In
the War department is steadily decreasinR.
The day when there are no women IN any
branch OF the Department Of Commerce
and Labor and the Postoffce department Is
ineasureably near.
George Bruce Cortelyou, the hrst score
tsry OF commerce and labor and now post
master general. is said to be responsible
for the inauguration Of the movement To
get rid Of the women clerks. when he
was at the head OF the Department Of Conf
merce and Labor he began selecting men
TOT Ill places TO Oe ulleO, as hhI Ms ptN-
sible. and while he could not discharge
women solely because they were women,
he found it quite possible to reduce the
number by appointing none to places When
he left the department he had the number
greatly reduced, and Secretary MetcRlf has
followed in the footsteps Of his predecessor,
80 that the women in the department are
comparatively few. MIR Cortelyou carried
the same principles to the PostofAce do
partment, and the number OF women In
that department is said to be decreasing
right along and has ever since the regime
OF the present postmaster general began.
The reason for the preference OF male
clerks Is that they are more tractahle and
less troublesome generally than are the
women. chief Of a division in ono Of the
departments agrees that in many instances
the women do better work and more than
the men.
But she Is harder to control" he snid.
S'she has her own way of doing things md
she won't take orders readily az mon
will do. One woman in a room. partIcu-
larly IL she he an elderly ore. will make a
dozen clerks uncomfortable. l have yet 70
ind one of them who wants the window
up IL a majority of the clerks want it that
way. and IL a majority want the windows
closed she elects to have them IN! OF
course the window stays as she wants It,
but the men are in a bad humor all day"
Women began working IN the departments
here during the war between the states.
The number increased yearly for many
years, and IT was believed their work was
satisfactory. In fact, there Ia no serious
complaint against the work or the manner
in which It is done But unless a mighty
good sign fails women will eventually dis.
appear from the departments altogether.
