There is no concerted | % action among the heads of departments and the chiefs of bureaus here ;g % to exclude women, but whenever there is a place to be filled the head : & of the office almost invariably asks for a man. This right to discrimin- % i % between sexes is recognized by the civil service regulatiors, and o en requisition is made for a clerk, stenographer or typewriter, the b4 ymmission certifies only the names of men. 8 Civil Service Commissioner Harlow said to-day that the commission a b3 2 long list of excellent women stenographers and typewriters eligi- d E e o S for appointments, but they could not get the appointing officers to e iy e & take “There are many little rea " said Mr. Harlow, “which : entith R seem to Influence the heads of Government offices to prefer men % to women. The principal one, perhaps, is that while women may do as S wel ug the regular working hours, if there is a rush and it is ’ necessary to work over hours, work can be crowded on men better than handw § on women. Women are not so willing to work over hours, and the heads of off feel more reluctant in asking them to do so than is the § case with men. o Ch aminer Servin of the Civil Service Commission sald that a Ez there were many reasons, small in detail but important in the aggre- ! i 6 gate, which influence heads of Government offices to prefer men M.

Tn addition to this it is found that women cannot adapt themselves to as great a variety of work as can men. They may be all right in a certain line, but when they are put on something else it is very hard for them to get the hang of it. They are also inclined not only to insist on having all the privileges in the way of vacations and sick leave to which they are entitled, but they often expect special ration and special favors. Of course there are exceptions, and - women are very eflicient, but the heads of offices where both men consi ¢ man S HOM OO B N R N S O R R G S S NG SN N e o § and women are emploved almost invariably ask for a man when they ax b4 filling a vacancy.” b3 ey v B 0 s U DD I S RS N R O N N NN RO OO o he equivocally ute inno- | D | ition.)

At first the owners of the man-power vehicles held quietly conducted meetings to oppose the tramway movement. The storm of excitement grew, though, and an open-air demonstration was held at Zeikangama, a mile or so outside Yokohama. At this meeting the rickshaw men became so incensed at the tramway- people that they marched into the city and 4 mbled in front of the City Hall, where the tramway question was under discussion, and when the members of the assembly came out they feil upon them and mobbed them, in some instances committing serious assaults on the unfortunate representa- tives.
