PLEA FOR WORKING
WIVES IS RENEWED
u. S. Employees Say Pro-
pssed Ban Would Violate
Merit System.

Opposition Of the National Federation
Of Federal Employees to proposed legis-
lation discriminating against married
persons In the Government service was
reafdrmed yesterday in joint state
ment of President Luther C. Steward
and Gertrude M. McNally, secretary
treasurer.
At the same time, John Arthur Shaw,
director of the Veterans Employment
Service, scored the same provision in
the economy bill at a meeting of dis
abled veterans In the rooms of the Dis
trict of Columbia Air Legion, 1919 F
street. World War veterans, he claimed,
would be the chief sufferers if the legis-
lative proposal became a law.
Explaining that veterans generally
hold lower paid positions than the non
veterans who had the advantage of
step-ups during the war period, Shaw
said the former represent large per-
centage Of that class of workers of
which both husband and wife must
work If they are to earn, between
themselves, wage on which they can
prepare for emergencies.
Violation Of Merit System.
The statement of the Federation of
Federal Employees declared a survey
shows the number of married couples
in the Government service is small.
Where husband and wife are holding
Federal positions" it added, they are
doing 50 not on sufferance, but because
each one has proved to the satisfaction
of his superior that his or her work is
wholly satisfactory. To discharge
either one Of such employees would be
q clear violation of the whole merit
system"
This injustice of the proposal, the
statement added, is heightened by the
fact that while 1t hits directly at mar
ried couples within the Federal service,
it exempts couples Of whom one may
be in the service and the other en-
ployed IN private business.
Enactment Of the provision in the
House economy measure authorizing
dismissal of woman Government work
ers whose husbands also are employed
penalty upon marriage" Miss Jessie
Dell, member Of the United States
Civil Service Commission declared.
Tells Of Case in Germany.
Commenting on the action of the
Government Workers Council of the
National Woman's Party in protesting
against the provision, Miss Dell told OF
case recently settled by the Labor
Court Of Berlin, Germany
"A woman who had been discharged
because Of her marriage" said Miss
Dell, appealed to the court, basing her
plea on the clause In the German con-
stitution which gives all citizens equal
rights The court ordered the woman's
employer to withdraw the dismissal or
pay her an indemnity of 1000 marks,
pointing out the discharge constituted
an unfair discrimination based on sex
and that woman has as much right
to marry as man."

Plans looking toward eventual trans

1t was a problem which has been
