SERVICE LEADER
Too Many Women?
Those who believe there are so many more women working in the
jederal service in Washington than men should take a look at the latest
semi-annual statistical report issued by the U. S. Civil Service Com­
mission. The report explodes the belief that the Government service
“ is Jull oS women employees.”
On June 30, the report reveals, there were 53,038 women and 80,607
men working here in the Government.
Outside the District the percentage of male employees w as e v e n
greater. The figures are 736,003 men and 133,172 women.
Fact is, women made a Uirger percentage increase than men during
the six months ended June 30. The number of women increased 12.4
p e r cent and men only 9.6 per cent.

“ I ’d lik e a te m p o r a r y jo b in th e P o s t O ffice fo r th e C h r is tm a s r u s h . C a n I g e t it? How?”
T h e s e a r e q u e s tio n s w h ic h th e P o s t O ffice D e p a r t m e n t a t t e m p t e d to a n s w e r la s t week
in a sp e c ia l n o tic e to p o s tm a s te rs .
T h e n o tic e said:
Federal employees on June 30 numbered 1,002,820, a n increase of
70,515 over the previous six months. Making the greatest gains were
defense purjKises at that time. Since then another 40,000 have been
Panama Canal, 4,449, and Civil Service Commission, 951.
The report revealed that not more than 40,000 had been hired for
defense p urp oses a t that time. Since then another 40,000 has been
placed on the pay rolls.
And the Commission, estimating conservatively, as it always does,
predicts that 120,000 new employees will be added between now and
June 30, 1941.
This figure includes some 65,000 Navy Yard employees and at least
that number loho are being hired by War to train conscriptees, make
guns and munitions in the arsenals, and to build new bases and train­
ing sites.

From the outset. T h e L e a d e r has
made it a policy to refrain from
repeating the news w h ic h has
been adequately covered in the
daily papers. Merely to h a v e r u n
the neivs about Mr. R h e in s te in ’s
testimony, which had been blazoned
over the front pages of every pa­
per in toxon, would not. we feej,
have been of great seriMce to our
readers—certainly not when the
same amount of space could be de­
voted to material tvhich had not
appeared in the daily papers, and
which most readers could find noxohere else.
This policy has
gtiided our coverage of the Coun­
cil investigation pom the beo\^‘
ning. Precisely because that in­
vestigation obtained so much cov­
erage in the newspapers, we havt
sought out new and different
angles o n the probe. We shall con­
tinue to do so in the future, noi
only with reference to the present
investigation, but to all news or
fecting Civil Service.—Editor.

FRIENDS OF THE RAMSPECK BILL
United States Senator James M. Mead and Representative
Robert Ramspeck, chief supporters of the Ramspeck bill,
which would extend the merit system to the entire federal
service, spoke last Sunday before 2,000 persons at a rally
of federal employees at the Hotel Pennsylvania Roof. Both
Mead and Ramspeck pledged even greater pressure for
passage of the bill in Congress after Election Day.
