“ANTI-CAT FIGHT.
WOMEN CLERKS’ -COMPLAINT AGAINST SUPERIORS.
A campaign, called the “Anti-Cat” inovenient, having for its object the support of the principle in tlie Post Office that discipline for women shall be no more severe than that for men, was decided upon by Post Office women clerical officers, writing assistants. and typists at Essex Hall, Strand.
Speakers complained that women had been subjected to a type of supervision unknown among men. A woman clerk had been pulled up for "bad deportment.” and women of from ten to tventv years’ service rebuked in front of a section for minor faults. A number of women had suffered from nervous troubles owing to the methods of discipline adopted by some of the women in charge.
