Macveagh's Tea Room
Still Under Boycott

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
10 pondering these days over the per
versity of woman. Also a perfectly
good room in the Treasury Department
is going to waste.
II Is all the outgrowth Of a feud which
the women clerks of the Treasury are
waging against their chief. For years
and years these clerks-many of them
are middle aged women-have been
bringing their lunches with them TO the
ONCE, and utilized convenient gas Jets
for the boiling of coffee and tea. They
formed little luncheon parties during the
recess period.
Macveagil didn't like the practice. He
did what he could to break il UP by
frowning disapprovsL Then an official
order was issued, banning the tea and
coffee drinking and the luncheon parties
The women rebelled, and MacVeagh had
to capitulate gracefully. But he didn't
restore the lunching privilege. The
Public Health Service opinion that
irnching In the work rooms was ''un-
sanitary stuck in the way of resum-
fng the old plan. So the Secretary de-
cided on a regular luncheon room. But
the women clerks were peeved, and
boycotted the lunch room. More than
a month has now gone, and still the
cook stoyes and chairs and tables are
unused.
