REPUBLICANS ARE IN
 MAJORITY, BUT STAY
No More Women Clerks. to be Appointed Until Working
 Force Increases.


 No shake up is looked for in the lo- cal post once when the newly ap- pointed postmaster. C. F. Greene takes hold next Monday. There was g time fn the history of the city and changing Of a pestnastcr meant that many employees Of the service would walk the plank.
 It remained for Cleveland while president to DromuIgate the prinlci-s p1es Of civil service and while the majority of the civil service employees now in o11ce in Bridgeport and fn-ouzhouf the country are un- d0ubtedly Republicans, the Wilson administration is giving an exhibition of keeping their civil service faith that is the drH real test that has ever been given to the country although 1t was a hue and cry raised at many elections in the past that once g. Democratic president was elected many faithful post office employees
 All that Postmaster General Burle- son has asked of the postal employees is that they give real service and in most cases they have responded splendid1y.
 When tho Wilson administration came In to power 1t experienced con- aiderab1e trouble in many of the of dces in the country where clerks Hhc were Democrats or who claimed to 1,e Dem ocratS wanted proxnoEo ons for themselves and demotions of ch1ef clerks who they claimed were Republicans. For Hme 1t looked as though the agitation would reach serious proportions and that the principles of civil service would be. undermined by the internal str1fes but the situation was one that appears 6o have been paased over sereneHy.
 In the Bridgeport office there tB said to be one ripple of dascord that tho new poatrnaster will have to deal with to sozne extent and that is the cass where some of the emp1oyes have brought ozzxges or Intend to bring cI1arBas against one of heads of txae office. If these e1aargles nasa- nnds 1t aa a heritage upon taking of- dce his induction into ofIce VIII not be very pleasant Thera are 155 regular employees Of the Bridgeport post office, 10 women substitute Sisrfxa. Sz male substitute clerks, end of 222 employees under appointment The substitutes are in line for ap- pointment to regular positions and the new postmaster finds awaiting him CT substitutes who have been appointed by his predecessor and who Wtn rank those who take ex- an1inatdons for clerks and carriers in the future.
 This large list Of substitutes is said not to be condition that exists alone in Bridgeport but all through the eastern part of the country, par ficuIar1y in the naanufacturtng dis tricts where young men employed in factories have been anxious to pro- cure ths steadier and more lucrative pay of fhe mall service The large waiting list was the caa1sa Of the clerkzcaxr1er examinations being cadfed off last autumn.
 Ear7y i'm 19fA upon tho advice of the afnsoecd0n service Of the deDart- nnenf F1ae post office department is- sued an order that the proportion oe women employees in the Bridgeport office RAs greater than other offices Of It's size and that no more women clerks were to be appodnted to per naaneut positions. This order will probably stand unta1 the postal husa- ness at the Bridgeport office permits the employment of a. much larger working force. The roster of the a&- tacfes Of the local post oflce is as
