UNIFORM FOR WOMEN IN
DETROIT POSTOFFICE MAKES
FOR EFFICIENCY. SAYS r. NJ.
,By The Associated Pres.J

DETROIT, MICH, Sept. 24.-The
uniform for women employees of the
Detroit postoffice has come to stay.
William j. Nagel, postmaster, has
made the announcement after six
months trial
The uniform. consisting of a full
length gray apron with sleeves and
white collar, was made compulsory
by Mr.. Nagel last spring.
Mr.. Nagel announced that all the
600 women employees of the postoftice
must wear the uniforms because
many of the girls are spending too
much money on dress. because they
are attempting to outdo one another
in this regard, and because there is a
grave danger that such practice will
lead to snobbery and thereby lower
efficiency in the Detroit postofice.'
When the order was announced a
number of the employees registered
protests, but according to Mr.. Nagel
all opposition has disappeared.
"The women have found they can
keep cleaner and do better work. All
have been placed on common level
because all look alike. Whatever
snobbery there has been elimin-
ated. The Detroit postoffice now is a
thoroughly democratic institution
