MARRIED WOMEN'S YORK BEST,
DEPARTMENTAL HEADS DECLARE
Others Defend Spinster EmpIoyes-Controuersy
Made Acute by Coolidge Demand for Reduction
ofForces Employed in Government Offices.

The controversy over which woman
married or single-is the more eff
ticient in business bobbed up again
today Is one of the veXatious prob
lens troubling Government personnel
chiefs, with more champions for the
married woman than for her single
sister.
A survey of some departments by
the Civil Service Commission and Per-
sonnel Classification Board disclosed
that there exists at present, officials
said this morning, no official discrim-
ination against employment of the
married woman in the Government
service. There has been vigorous OBJ
lection. however, to married women
in the Government service from many
single persons. both men and women.
Married Women Steadier.
I'VE find in our department that
the married women are far more eff
ficient and steady than the single
ones we have" declared one official
of one of the large departments. en-
ploying thousands of persons. THE
single girls seem to be more unsteady.
Some of them seem to be occupied in
trying to catch a husband, while 9TH
ers are busily engaged in vying wiz:
one another in trying to see which
can look the prettieSt. Not all are
like this, however"
"In our attempts TO carry out. the
Presidents program of cutting down
Government personnel in order to get
rid of the great surplus of wartime
Government machine, this question
of the single and the married woman
is an important problem. However
much we may be urged to keep the
single girls and to let go of the mar
ried ones, we are confronted with
their efficiency records, which In
most cases, I believe, show the mar
ried women are giving the best serv-
ice. We have not made a statistical
check of this. but we have found it to
be true through long experience"
Holds 1t Individual Matter.
On the other hand, an official in an
other large department, representing
he believed, the thought of other en-
ployers of women in the Government
service, disagreed with the above
opinion. at is not a matter of
whether a woman or girl is single or
married that in my opinion makes any
difference in her efficiency. We have
not taken any surveys to find out how
they stand relatively, but I would say
offhand that it is a matter of indi-
vidual ability. We have some married
women who are not worth much to
the Government, but we also have
some single ones who are about as
low in efficiency. 1t all depends on the
individual"
Personnel chiefs in some of the de-
partments were hesitant about ex-
pressing an opinion, even on the
promise that neither their own names
nor the names of their departments
would be used. But it was evident
from the keen interest which was
aroused in each official by the pres
entation of the question that there
had been formed, either in the office

signs are to be trusted. still is as re-

Secretary Hughes. Secretary Kellogg
has declared himself in favor of con-
tinuity IN international relationships
and President Coolidge, so far as is
Known, still holds the same opinions
he expressed at the time his first mes
Sage to Congress was delivered. The
MOSCOW post is a vacancy which can
not be filled until that government is
recognized by the United States.
1t is possible that other diplomatic
appointments will be necessary IN ad-
dition to those required to fill existing
vacancies. Several designations sub
rnitted to President Coolidge by ap-
pointees who hold office now through
commissions given them by President
Harding have been received. While
no announcement has been made, it
would not be surprising if one or two
were accepted.

side of the live question
Girls Lack Champions.
No defenders came forward in the
survey today to contend that the
single girl was more efficient than
her married sister, although those
who defended the married woman
were emphatic in their views
The only official restriction which
ever existed in the Government serv-
ice against the employment of mar
ried women, according to the best
memory of officials of the Civil Serv-
ice, was in the postal service, which
has since removed the restriction. At
the Post Office Department IL was
said this morning that there had
been prohibition against the en-
ployment of married women in the
field service from 1902 to 1921 but
since the latter date it has not been
in effect.
The only restriction which might
operate against a married woman in
the service of Uncle Sam, it was ex-
plained by the Civil Service Com
mission, is the law which provides
