In the opinion Of the commission, the
law should provide that incumbents are
not to be brought into the competitive
classified service with their offices. The
change would necessitate the repeal OF
existing laws which provide for four
year terms and confirmation by the
Senate.
Promotion of worthy subordinates to
these higher Offices would aid in the ef-
fort to make the Federal Civil Service
more attractive as career"
Fourth-class postmasters are now in
the competitive classified service.
Recalling that there has been much
complaint of unfairness In efficiency
ratings under the present system" the
commission explains that it is now max
ing a study to see if the rating system
can be improved.
1t is shown in the report that during
the year 1854 persons were examined
for entrance to the competitive classified
service, as against 250,377 in the year
ended June 80, 1882, and 241 ,304 in the

 This report gives picture of | the efforts of one factory to em- ploy more workers prior to the MIRA. by shortening hours with out taking into consideration other
 closely related factors" she stated. "The bulletin stresses two prob-
 lems. The first, due to failure to | increase wage rates proportionally as hours were reduced, always arises from such a plan. The sec ond problem, resulting from the application of the so-ca1lcd stretch- out system, or assignment of more
 work to each employe under the
 shorter schedule is also common
 to many firms
 "Tn the particular plant studied
 where the schedule was shortened from 49 1-2 hours to 36 hours in June 1882 though the hourly wage rate was not increased, some wo-
 men at that time had their work
 ctint doubled, being called on to tend two machines instead of one. Each packer was assigned one and
 a half lines In place of one. Fore
 ladies were subjected to even greater proportional wage cuts than other workers and ut the
 same time given additional duties
 of instruction.
 "A1l women had to bear the
 hardship of reduced pay envelopes In 1892 Since hourly rates under the old regime ranging from 27 to 33 cents remained the same under the shorter schedule, the weeks earnings of the women showed a 8 per cent decrease as a result of the change. Women with m hour ly rate of 33 cents who had re- | ceived $16.34 for 70 1-2 hours could earn only $11.88 for the &C.,

the shorter week instead of the $t3.37 earned formerly with the longer hours.
 Under the shorter schedule part time weeks of only } or 4 days each were frequent enough to infiict additional hardshjps on many women in the form of even moro seriously reduced earnings.
 That only fifth of all the wo- men reporting in the 1892 invcsti gation expressed unqualified pref erence for the 6-hour day rather than the former 9-hour day with half day Saturday is not surpris ing. The prevailing attitude of the workers was voiced by the woman who said, Six hours a day would be swell if they would keep up tho pay
 "lt is true that the firms aim at increased employment was achiev- ed by it's change from ono shift of 40 1-2 hours to two shifts of 3G hours each or 72 hours of plant op- eration a week. About four months after the change the firm showed twice aa many women on the pay roll as the year before. But unfor- tunatcly the old employees had to bear the brunt of the increased employment or sharc-the-w work scheme.
 "Contrasted with this plant is another surveyed by the Women's Bureau six months earlier than June 1892 that also had changed It's schedule. substituting tho G. hour day with four shifts for the 8-hour day with three shifts. Thic plant raised the rates so that work CTS under the shorter schedule re- ceived earnings not much lower than under tho longer schedule.

 They were happy, drowsy. tired couple when they finally emerged in the cold winter night. Just then taxi stopped at the club and swanky young couple alighted from it. It didn't take a second look to see that they were filthy with what 1t takes, to be as recklessly inspired, as they obvi- ously were.
 They weren't worried over q little thing like a cut in q payroll, Johnny thought, rebelliously. Well, he'd show the world some day. Just now he wouldn't stand there gaping and envying. No, sir. Im- pulsively he signaled the driver. He had one dollar and considerable small change left over from his "pleasure fund" It would take them home. They would finish this one evening in style.
 Once in the cozy interior, John ny relaxed. exhausted. Jinny watched the clean-cut young face and pecked daintlly at tho closed eyclid. She didn't know what 1t was all about, but she trusted her Johnny implicitly. Maybe he had a raise or something. He'd tell her in his own good time.
 HER GAZE
 DRlEvTED ABOUT
 Her gaze drifted about and was caught by the mirror. Holy Jeru- salem, her nose shone like q frozen lake in the moonshine. She hadn't thought of powdering the darn thing all evening. She opened her handbag to get her compact. Some thing slipped out of 1t and into the crcvice on the side of the seat cushion. She pushed her slender fingers into the tight space, search ing for 1t; her fingers caught q small, hard object and with some difficulty she extracted 1t. She wanted to exclaim, but her eyes were swifter than her voice and she caught her breath. Gosh, just imagine if the ring was real, she thought. But of course 1t would be a nice piece of costume jewelry. People didn't go about dropping huge emeralds in taxicabs, and If they did. 1t wouldn't be her luck to find 1t.
 She dropped the thing swiftly into her bag and searched further, until she retrieved her lipstick, too. She would surprise Johnny wear ing the ring, when they went out again. If he had raise, they would probably go out dancing once in q while as in the happy pre- Hard Times era.
 Just then the cab rolled up to their door. Sleepily Johnny climbed out and paid the fare. He just about made 1t.
 When they reached the fiat. they were to exhausted to talk. So. preoccupied with their different thoughts, they climbed into bed and in no time at all they were sound asleep.
