SRR ERERESRSESS FIGHTS MALE RULE - OF FEDERAL J0BS ‘Woman’s Party Demands Equal Appointive Rights, Citing Discrimination. Changes in the government system of appointing, promoting and dismiss- ing employes are recommended by the Government Workers' Council of the National Woman's Party, in a state- ment issued last night, in which it ‘was declared that the present meth- ods “work injustice to thousands of women.” Miss Laura Berrien, the council, in issuing the statement, charged that a “blank wall faces the women who attempt to secure ap- pointment to the higher grades of the government or whose efficlency and service would entlitle them to promo- tion if they were men.” “The reason for this lies largely in the fact,” Miss Berrien points out, “that practically all appointing of- ficers are men.” Instead of vesting the appointment and promotion of employes in individ- uals the Government Workers' Coun- cll urges the formation of a “special board or committee in every subdivi- sion of each department and inde- pendent organization, on which women shall have equal representation with men to fix salaries and to pass upon all reorganizations, investigations, appointments, assignments, ratings, promotions, demotions, transfers and dismissals.” One of Most Needed Reforms. “A prellminary survey of the situ- ation faced by the more than thirty thousand women in the employ of the government shows that one of the most needed reforms is a reform of says the * instance of chairman of the appointing systel statement. A “Zlarin discrimination follows: “A scientific position was to be filled under the civil service. As the result of a competitive examination in which a woman used only her in- itials in giving her name, that woman received an appointment. She came to Washington in response to a_tele- ram offering her the position. When she reported for duty and the appoint- ing officer discovered that she was a2 woman the salary was cut, before she was sworn in or had performed any of the duties, the cut being based solely on the fact that she was a woman. ““The blockade against the promo- tion of women is illustrated in a sur- vey made of a certain bureau in one of the departments. Of the total number of employes in this division 72 per cent are men. Of the super- visory positions in the division 96 per cent are held by men. The fol- lowing quotations illustrate the p icy in regard to promotion of wome ‘No woman will be appointed to su- pervisory work over men so long as I am chiet of this section.’ ‘No woman will be placed in an admin- istrative position in this section, be- cause I am a man and would not like to work under a woman, even if she were better qualified than a man. This feeling has existed in the male kingdom since Adam was a boy and will continue to exist.’ Low-Salaried Women. “In another bureau two-thirds of the clerical force are women, but only three of these woman clerks draw $1,500 a year, while the higher salaried positions are all occupied by men. These women were not pro- moted to the $1,800 salary until they had served more than twenty years, while the average service of the men of tha same grade or higher was only eleven vears. “In ‘transferring and reorgani :********************** %* %k *********************i 4 Joday—Sun rose 7:09 am.; aun sets Shop Early! for your own sake— It’s greatly to your advantage to begin and complete your Christmas. buying as soon aspossible.

For in- stance, In 6ne of the important. offices of the government a section was abol- ished and its clerks were placed in other sections. Among these clerks were sev- eral men holding high-salaried positions. One was assigned to & division where similar work was being performed by two other clerke—a man and a woman. The work was then divided so as to assign 2 part to the newcomer. After a few weeks the woman was asked to accept 2 position less desirable, the reason be- Ing given that there was not enough for three persons, “Fhe government service is surely one pl Where merit should rule and sex discriminations should be non-existent. 1t will be impossible to bring about this state of affairs so long as the appoint- ing, grading and dismissal of employes is entirely a male monopoly. __“The Government Workers' Council intends to continue its campaign for this important change in the organiza- tion of ‘the government until it is ac- complished either through legisiation or through executive order.” THE WEATHER District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia—Generally cloudy, probably local raing today; tomorrow, gener- ally ir; little change in tempera- llllred; gentle to moderate variable winds.

The well known local ocullst, Dr. W. H. Wilmer, obtained ‘special periaission for Dr. Lipinska to enter the country, owing to the immigra- tion rules barring blind foreigners. She is here to study methods used at some of the most famous American institutions for the blind and to lec- ture on her own methods of re- educating the blind in European countries. ~ < Dr. Lipinska also comes as a dele- gate from the Oculists’ Boclety of Warsaw, her native city; as a dele- Eate from Gen.

Lipinska. “It naturally complicates things to lose the use of one's eyes, but it is quite possible to develop some latent forces of the subconscious and bring them to the front so that they will function more actively. ¥1 was threatened with blindness when I was only nineteen years old, yet I did not for & momept allow that to interfere with mv firm resolve to study medicine. When I was twenty- one years old I lost the sight of my left eye and for the ten years have been totally blind. The loss of a sense like blindness means that the individual must develop the powers of intuition, memory and concentra- tion of attention to a much higher degree.” Dr. Lipinska, who is a graduate of the Academy of Medicine in Paris, will lecture principally on auto-sug- gestion and therapeutics. Patrons for her lectures include Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Mme. Ignace Pad- erewski, Prince Casimir Lubomirski, the Hon. Gaston de Liebert, Baron de Cartier. and Dr. John Findley.
