Women Being Driven from Political Jobs

"Men are grabbing ail tha political Jobs
snd driving women out of the arena, ao
far aa federal and municipal employment
goes. No matter how expert a woman may
be, how superior cer ability and knowledge,
she has no chance In a civil service exam
ination, because she Is a woman and has
not s vote."
Mrs. Maud Nathan, vice president of the
National Consumers' leagus. In a suffrage
talk, declared that women are discrimin
ated against In civil service positions, that
their ability is discounted, their examina
tions ignored and their services turned
doan because politicians must hand out
jobs to their voting constituents, who have
given them the equivalent in support.
"It Is noticeable in every state where
women have not the ballot." aaid Mra.
Nathan, "that they have no chance with
men in filling positions of national, state
or civic trust. The ClvJ brvice depart
ment in New York Is open only to men.
"There should be women tenement In
spectors, women rai'k Inspectors, women
factory inspectors and child labor Investi
gators. Lcause v omen are by nature and
by sympathy fitted to de work of this
kind. Bui they seldom hold positions for
which they are qualified, because they are
political nonentities, because they cannot
vote.
"I know of one woman who aa refused
a position as commissioner of labor, though
she waa supported by the labor party In
New York and was eminently fitted far
tha work, because the governor wanted
the job fo a constituent"
Mrs. Nathan argued that aa women by
their labor have helped to Increase the
industrial output of the country, and to
