GOVERNMENT WORKERS
Women's Wages Reduced by ystem
 of Gradatioa.

Ruth c. D. Havens in Harper s Weekly.
 Large numbers of girls are appoiAt4d as ullski4lsd aAa skilled laborers, oA' a low sradc competitive cxa.linat.on, at very sLlan saAar,, or Wlth lo-apeAsa- tion as piece-work.rs. The money oo.Lt.is in tie taeas-ry d, ,part.ael.t ara al-.-ost exclusively women, frequent ly entering the service by tAe road of appoL:t4nlnt as sAill,d labor.rs in the Bureau or Printing and Engraving. When the wear-so-lsness and health oesti oy lig nat-ie or their employment are considered, and their responsibility Tor all losstS by error aAd lo..ht-rl.its, their average pay IS ridic.lo-sly small Yst an e.crt has been inaoe to reduce 1t lar below living wages, because the field IS solely olc@p.ea by wo-h,n.
 S4ccess in any attempt to redace wo- men s wag,s in tLe service seems prob ab.s, ii one appeals to history tor pre-. eeoes.t anu prophecy. forty years ago tAe hlhimuni wage for men empioyed in 1lerlcal Mork Ill the clvii s.rvice was $I,zO0 per anna4n; Tor wo-Aea, $5JJ. Inc ofiitial ho-rs were from Q a. m. to 3 p. ln. Alterward grade for women was tstabLsh.a at S74U per annuni, and an ho~r Mas aGdea to ti1e clIrAeal day. | ollowlng in rather close succession, grades were established at $1,0U0, at $0aO, at $5Ju, at So0O, at So5v, at S48J, year or two a,-o grace CT S390 was proposed b.t fail-d of enactment. Mean while anotner halt -hoar Was added to the day, and tle Lo@rs are now iron Q a. m. to 4:30 P. n.
 1t is th.s maoe apparent that, while the plesvAt el.llcal Sla9lng As sald 10 have been established in the early 'tv's, the sta-oara or wages has ben redlced by the institution O. seven low.r sraa,s tIro4sn WI.i.n women and somsti4ues Men, must Cli-.b to reach living salary, and b. too additions to tls l,nktn O. tLe official day, and this has o.S4rred oLlins period wien the cost or living has been constantly ad- vanCins.
 In 1904 the force of federal employees n.nIb.red l5U,S8S, ot whom l3,o1z, or bJtween and 5 peI cent, were females. Or tlis s-lall proportion s,5le reee.ved less than $9oU p.r alnani, which was tie lowest salary at which women were appointed iorty years ago. This well illustrates tho attitude of the govern ment toaards women.
 In paGsing to glance at the anomalous retro. ,ression of wages, GO not wish to divert attention iron the subject of this article-the banishment of women rom the service. This question was asked of certain bureau officer: "You have said many timts that your women clerks are more faithful, more accurate, more conscientious, than the men and equally competent, and hence entitled to promotion. Why, then, do you al ways ask thu commission for men?"
 This was his answer: ''Women are entitled to the appointments under the law, and by reason of their equal eff cisIcy. They are also justly entitled to the suffrage. But thsy have not the suffrage and so cannot have the ap- pointments. The voters must have the places. If you women want positions in the civil service you must first secure citizenship through the ballot"
