Uncle Sam Now Penalizing Marriage?

Following the issuance Of these
questionnaires Miss Hill states.
large number of married women have
been dropped from the rolls of the de-
partments, without regard to their
efficiency. In many cases. she says.
married women Of long experience and
established value have been dropped
for no other discoverable reason than
that they are married At the same
time. she says, the civil service is hold
ing examinations for employees of
similar grade and kind.
The object of the various depart
ments in dropping married women
from their rolls Is plain, They are

blow at marriage. and also at the
right of a woman to work and he in
dependent 1t is this latter phase Of the
question which chiefly interests the
women politicians.
