Woman Sues for u. S. Post
She Lost Under Economy Act
Mrs. Lillian Rhodes Says
LGtu Vas Inroked
Unfairly.
Asks Restoration of Job
and Back Pay to De.
cember, 1888.

Declaring her place was filled by a
new appointee after she had been
dismissed as an economy move" be-
cause her husband also was in the
Government service, Mrs. Lillian II.
Rhodes. 3430 Brown street. yesterday
filed suit in District Supreme Court
to regain her $2,9oo-a-year job In
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue.
Her petition marked the first at
tempt by a woman dismissed under
the so-called married women's clause
Of the economy act to recover her
Federal position.
Mrs. Rhodes, whose, husband,
Carroll F. Rhodes, Is an attorney
with the Federal Trade Commission,
had been employed by the Govern
ment as an auditor and certified
public accountant for IA years and
months when she was discharged
in 1898.
Her suit, filed through Attorney r.
Hunter Creech, says she was notified
she would be dismissed because OF a
shortage Of funds In her department
and the provisions of the married
women's clause of the economy act.
which provides for the discharge
before single women of married
women whose husbands are also in
Government service.
Says List Was Disapproved.
In July, 1898, she charges, the
commissioner of internal revenue
prepared list containing the names
Of 20 persons recommended for dis
missal. She alleged, however, that
this list was not approved by the
Civil Service Commission, and that
all but five, including herself, were
restored to duty.
Her suit further charges. however,
that in December, 1888. when ''it was
admitted the bureau did have suffi-
cient funds to retain her In her posi-
ton, and when 1t was unnecessary
to discharge any employe for lack of
appropriations, the commissioner
prepared a second list containing five
names recommended for dismissal
and sent 1t to the commission.
Mrs. Rhodes declared that thi,
second list, which contained her name
falsely cited lack of appropriation a.
the reason for her dismissal. At the
time of her dismissal, Mrs. Rhode,
charged. the commissioner Of interna
revenue did have sufficient appro-
priations for the class in which she
was employed, and was employing
with the approval of the Civil Service
Commission, entirely new auditors and
employees for work in her class" She
asserted her discharge under these
conditions was unlawful, capriciouc
and violative of her legal rights"
Economy Act Attacked.
She added that neither the married
wonen's section of the economy act
nor any other section, authorizes OF
empowers any executive offlcial to dis
miss civil service employees In order tc
make room for the employment OF
other persons who are not already in

missioner Of internal revenue wa:
without power 10 discharge any civil
service employe in his bureau on the
grounds that there was a lack of ap-
preparations. while at the same time
he was inducting into the same class
entirely new employees"
Mrs. Rhodes pointed out in her suit
that on March Is, 1888, she woulC
have served in the Government II
years and been entitled to an annuity
as retired employe II it had not beer
for her dismissal In December.
She declared that her work hac
always been satisfactory and that she
was given a rating of $500 on June 10
1888, such rating being higher thar
considerable number of married EN-
ployes (whose husbands or wives were
also employed by the United States)
in her class. She asserted these en-
ployes with lower ratings should hav,
been discharged first. II there was reai
son to discharge any employees.
Injustice Is Alleged.
Mrs. Rhodes also asserted that she
is "the only auditor from the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, out of more thar
1900 persons having a marital status
whose spouse is employed by tho
United States, who was actually re-
moved from the Bureau of Interna
Revenue and separated from the
Government service, by civil service
approval, allegedly on account Of the
married women's clause of the econ
omy act, and who now remains out.
side the Government service"
Her petition set forth several execu.
tive orders. an unpublished ruling bS
the Attorney General, which provided
for the elimination of Federal EN-.
ployes by grades SO that the Lowest
graded enploye in a class should be
dismissed first, and ruling by the
controller general, which, she con-
tended, must be considered along with
the economy act in the discharge oi
Government employees when there Il
lack Of appropriations.
She asked for a writ of mandauus
against Commissioner of Interna
Revenue Guy T. Helvering. Secretary
OF the Treasury Morgenthau and
Harry B. Mitchell, Lucille Foster Nc.

charge. She also asks that she be
