'"The women are massed in the low

gard to their work." she said. There
are comparatively few women in the
service receiving more than $500, or
In an executive capacity at all. Some
department heads fix an actual dead
line for promotions of women, usually
about $1,000 or $500. United States
senators have told us in so many
words, why $1,000 is enough for a
woman"
