New York City: It is said that Harry Wills and Tom Gibbons, leading heavyweight challengers, probably will be the principals in the second show at the "Yankee stadium"; ball park, staged under Rickard's direction for the benefit of the Milk fund on June 23 or 24. But Gibbons' manager now says if Dempsey selects his man for a fight before Wills that Gibbons is willing to meet Wills before he meets Dempsey. Anything, it seems, to keep Wills from whipping Dempsey, is the slogan of all his friends, including Gibbons and his manager. But the N. Y. fight commission, strange to say, does not agree with him and has ordered Dempsey to accept Wills' challenge at once or be barred from N. Y. state, as far as contests are concerned, until he does. This action on the heavyweight situation followed an unexpected shift in the organization of the commission by which James A. Farley of Stony Point, N. Y., replaced Geo. E. Brower, as chairman. Farley was elected by the votes of himself and the remaining commissioner. Wil- time. Miss Potter entertained 52 of the members of the convention.

Former Resident of Cincinnati and Member of The Ohio Legislature. Chicago, Ill.—Funeral services for the Hon. George Henry Jackson, one of our wealthiest residents, was held. Monday, in the chapel of Undertaker Charles S. Jackson, Mr. Jackson, who died, Saturday, after an illness of three years, was the father of Dr. Gordon H. Jackson, who a year ago married Miss Mae Robinson, helress, said to be our wealthiest woman in this country. The Hon. Geo. H. Jackson was born in Ontario, 79 years ago. He served four years in the Ohio legislature. His wife's father, Mr. Gordon, made a fortune in the coal business in Cincinnati. Coming to Chicago, some years ago, the deceased invested in real estate and increased the fortune. A daughter, Mrs. Helen Thorne of Chicago, survives in addition to Dr. Jackson. Mrs. Charles Robinson, E. 37th St. died, Sunday. The husband has the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends. RUBIN GOLDMARK'S A Companion Musical Classic For The Great Dvorak Work of Special Interest To Us. Ivorsak's big musical work, the third or fourth section of which is based on southern "Negro" melodies is the first pretentious musical effort of the kind so "grounded". Now it seems we have another in Rubin Goldmark's "Negro" rhapsody which was played for the first time in Cleveland, Sunday afternoon, at Maclehall hall and by the great Cleveland Symphony orchestra. Nikolai Sokoloff, conductor. Its foundation, too, are southern "Negro" melodies and naturally that gives us special interest in it. Speaking of the Goldmark rhapsody, Archie Bell (white), musical critic of a local daily paper, said in its Monday editions: "Mr. Goldmark, who had expected to come out for the premiere of his "Negro" rhapsody, telegraphed that he was ill. This work has been establishing something of a vogue with the conductors of the major orchestras of the land. In fact, it has brought forth the comment that there are now two Goldmarks—the reference, of course, being made to the younger composer's uncle, composer of The Queen of Sheba." "The work is based on the themes that are so associated with the American Negro that the composer considers them of Negro origin. Thus, I believe his rhapsody should be called the 'American Negro' (Afro-American) rhapsody. It is rather 'spiritual in idea, splendidly orchestrated and holds much interest for the auditor. It was well played and well received." COULDNT STAND PROSPERITY. The Same Old Thing That Has Caused The Downfall of So Very Many of Our People. Los Angeles, Calif.—James Smith and his wife have been working at a millionaire's home in Hollywood for over five years. On their "off days", they were allowed to use one of their employer's four cars. All repairs and gas bills were charged to him. The other day they decided they wanted their "own" machine and invested the major part of their savings in a "brand new" Buick touring. Thinking they were "one of the family", after "showing it off" to their friends, they parked it in the spacequi garage of their employer. Quite naturally the next morning he wanted to know which one of his guests owned the handsome boat. "We got tired of using your car and thought we'd get one of our own". James informed him, with unconcealed pride. "Oh, is that so?" he replied. "That was Thursday. Saturday evening, when James and his wife received their salaries they were told that their services were no longer needed. It is said that a white couple have their jobs now. WHITE LAD MARRIES SISTER. Johnstown, Pa.—Stephen Baldoglio, 41, onceen, who married his sister, Eileen, seventeen, in Cumberland, Ma., recently, will be prosecuted "to the limit" but his sister-wife, who is to be a mother, promptly will be given her freedom, the father said in attaching or postponement of their hearing. The girl is in the detention room and her brother in jail. They were arrested in a rooming house. Police said Helen told them she was sorry the marriage had been broken up and that she wanted to go on living with her brother. "The boy was born in Hungary and never had seen his sister until 1923." Black Jews in Court. New York City—Judge Allen in the Court of General Sessions, last week Tuesday, dismissed Rabbi Mordeal Hermans on a grand larceny indictment brought about by Arnold J. Ford, another black Jew, who charged Hermans with the misappropriation of $109 which sum was given to him to purchase a receptacle for the Torah. Rabbi Hermans is the head of the colored Jewish Temple B'nai Abraham, 124 West 133rd St. He was defended by Counselor Rufus L. Perry of 375 Fulton St. Brooklyn, who argued that there was no basis for criminal action in the charges of Rabbi Ford. Hermans promised to buy the receptacle as soon as one could be found for the price. Counselor Perry, a member of the race, embraced the Jewish faith, many years ago. Col. Chus. Young's Headstone. Washington, D. C.—A headstone for Col. Charles Young's grave in Arlington Cemetery has been ordered, along with those for other service men, with a view to its preparation and delivery for erection prior to Memorial Day, 1925. The government marker will take the place of the wooden stake which at present marks the spot, and the War Department's stone will later be removed when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity erects its $5,000 memorial there.

A. V. Donahay. The other two are Capt. W. S. Thomas and Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, both of Columbus. Editor Smith, whose term expires June 30, 1929, succeeds Atty. Sully Jaymes of Springfield, and Capt. Thomas, who holds office until June 30, 1928, succeeds Ormond Forte of Cleveland. Dr. Johnson was reappointed, having been first appointed during the recess of the Legislature, last summer. He was Minister to Liberia, Africa, under the Wilson administration. Many people do not understand that only the Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University is controlled by the state and therefore is known as the Combined (State) Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University. The gentlemen named are trustees of this state department and are not trustees of the University. Their nomination by the Governor must be confirmed by the State Senate.

IN UNION IT IS SINCE IN LE COPY FIVE CENTS POSE ROBERTS BILL OUR GIRLS AND WOMEN OHIO. Davis Doing Splendid Work Rered Before the Judiciary House—New "Wilber- ees—Prof. Miller. Harry E.

Mrs. Florence Wells, a member of the House from Lucas county, and also a member of the judiciary committee, intended to register her protest at the hearing, but the death of her father prevented her from being present. About fifteen girl students from Ohio State University, members of Prof. Miller's sociology classes, attended the hearing. In addition there were present quite a number of local Columbus people. The sentiment of the Judiciary Committee seems to be to let the bill die a natural death. However, our people throut the state cannot afford to relax in the least their effort to have their members of both the House and the Senate know just how they feel about the vicious measure. We must protect our girls and women from the miserable condition that would be created in case the Roberts bill should happen to become a law. oil inspector, a position similar to the one held, by the editor of The Gazette, here in Ohio over thirty years ago.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 The Kansas legislature has "chloro-formed" a bill to admit the K. K. to that state without a charter. It may bob up again, it is said. If it does it ought to be killed. Chloro-forming is hardly enough. --- The President seems to have "gorgotten" the "colored brother" and the latter's troubles in this country, when he wrote his recent message to the Congress. Perhaps "Link" Johnson and Perry Howard can explain this. --- President Coolidge's new secretary, Ex-Congressman Everett Sanders of Terre Haute, is said to be one of the leading members of the Ku Klux Klan in that part of Indiana. If this is true the President is still "running true to form". --- Albert F. Coyle, candidate for Congress at the last election, and a number of his supporters, met at the Brownley-Hayes hotel, E. 40th St. and Cedar Ave., last Friday noon. They are seeking additional evidence of fraud in Mr. Coyle's election, much of which occurred in wards 11 and 12. The purpose is to bring all his evidence of fraud to the attention of the present Congress and this ought to be done. Our people of those wards should help him all they can in the interest of fair and honest elections, something those and other wards of the city have not had for at least six years. Just imagine, if you can, Texas leading Ohio in the matter of legislation against the Ku Klux Klan, and then learn that a bill prohibiting the wearing of masks in public was signed, Monday, by Gov. (Mrs.) Miriam A. Ferguson. It provides severe penalties for persons entering public buildings, churches or private residences while masked, and was a Democratic party pledge of the last campaign which resulted mainly from flogging parties staged by masked bands in Texas during the last few years. One section of the law, which becomes effective immediately, declares it unlawful "for any secret society or organization or a part of the members thereof, masked or in disguise, to parade upon or along any public road or on any street or alley of any city or town in the state." This section alone is worth its weight in gold to Texas because it will save many lives and will prevent a great deal of mob violence and other public strife. While Ku Kluxism has been greatly on the wane in that state and elsewhere in the South for many months, it takes only a law as the one in Texas to put the quietus on the Klan in that or an other state. Just at present, the organization is strongest in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio but like a prairie fire will burn its self out as it goes along just as it has thrust the South where it had its beginning and greatest success. In the South the Klan used the Democratic party as its platform for action. Here in the North it uses the Republican party. The advantage to northern states in the enactment of such a law now is that it would save them from the loss of lives, other crimes, mob violence and public strife which characterized the periods of the Klan's ascendency in Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and other southern states. Illinois and Indiana have Kluxers or Klan sympathizers as governors while President Cooldge has as secretary a Klausman. All three of those major officials are Republicans. "Ma" Ferguson, we salute you and your state on this Klan question, at least. May northern states, especially Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, soon follow the splendid precedent you have established. FRAUD IN ELECTIONS. Appellate court for the second time will decide, this week, Municipal Judge Alva R. Corlett's motion that 12th ward ballot boxes be opened for a recount of the judicial vote cast, last November. Attorneys on Monday argued the case. Judge Corlett, contesting the election of Common Pleas Judge A. J. Pearson, charges that in certain precincts of ward 12 Pearson was credited with more votes than were actually cast for the judicial candidates. He has offered affidavits of many voters. The court of appeals, some weeks ago, denied a similar motion on the ground that there was not enough evidence to establish prima facie case of fraud. Corlett since has filed many additional depositions. As we have repeatedly said in the past we repeat at this time (having had personal experience we shall never forget), there is fraud in the conduct of elections in wards 8, 11, 12, 17 and others of the city, and has been for at least six years. The great trouble is to prove it. All this is no secret but a matter of common knowledge among political workers and others of these and other wards of the city. What was done, to Judge Corlett, Congressional Candidate Albert F. Coyle, Sheriff Fred H. Kohler and other candidates the "organization" opposed, in wards 11 and 12 alone "beggars description". It has long been time to call a halt. As the result of our personal experience in ward 11, three years ago last fall, we know something of the illegal methods invoked on election days but also how impossible it is, with the combined Democratic and Republican "organization" in control of about everything in this city and county, to punish anybody for fraudulent acts at elections. Many elections in Cleveland in the last six or seven years have been farces, "pure and simple", and there are many, as we have said, who know this. We sincerely trust that Judge Corlett and Editor Coyle will have success in uncovering sufficient facts and evidence of fraud in their elections to bring about a thorou house-cleaning which should begin with the Board of Elections and end with the election judges and clerks. The board should be made independent of the influence of all party organizations. Likewise all election judges and clerks. Party "influence" is the root of the evil complained of in the cases of board, judges and clerks. Kansas Editor Freed. Sapulpa, Okla.—Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka (Kan.)

Wynne & Easley Funeral Directors Perfected Service Phone Ran. 0406 2202 H. 58th St. SEEKS TO DESTROY POISON IVY IN U.S. Campaign Against Noxious Plant is Started by Professor William Mansfield of New York. TELLS OF ITS GREAT DANCES Favors Exhibition Gardens, Where Public Can Study, and Learn How to Kill It. New York. -The first step in a campaign to eradicate polio, ivy plants, the heavy growth of which even in suburbs of this city yearly encounters the health of thousands of yorums, is made in a city of City in William St.field, of Columbia University in the current issue of the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden. Prof. Stansfield, in describing the polio ivy plant and its power to poison, either directly or indirectly, urges that immediate efforts be made to prevent the spread of its growth in the local parks and suburbs. "The poison ivy, 'Rhus radicans,' is one of the most widely distributed plants in the eastern United States, according to Prof. Mansfield. "Every year, because of its hardiness, this poisonous plant becomes more widely distributed, and by reason of its attractiveness many persons, though aware of its nature, allow it to cover their old fences and hedges, which otherwise would be unsightly. "Once the poison ivy seed enters the soil it thrives, growing in three forms; a trailing vine, a climbing vine, or a shrub, capable of afflicting most persons with an intense irritation and swelling of the skin, which, though seldom fata, is extremely annoying and liable to weaken the entire system. Some persons must come in direct contact with the three-foliate leaf of the plant to become poisoned, while others are so susceptible that a few of the collen grains, sometimes from a distant plant, upon the skin produces irritation. "The first effect of the poisoning is a mild skin irritation, which when the sufferer cubs or scratches, becomes corse. The friction breaks the outer skin, the poison enters the inner and more sensitive tissues, and the suffering increases accordingly." The "secondary effect causes a re-dening of the skin, followed by blisters, formed by the infiltration of water between the outer and inner layers of the skin. When perforated, that water touches an unaffected part, which in turn becomes poisoned." To cure the poisoning and counteract its effect, the effected parts should be washed with a paste of blanchment of food or of water, left on the irritated part as a thick resin to be moistened as the water evaporates. Again the irritation may be washed with strong alcohol, which apportifies the fecal or resinous nature of the poison of the poison ivy plant and renders it harmless. This treatment proves efficacious only during the first stage of the poisoning. "Thousands of persons are poisoned every year by this plant, but still it is allowed to grow, practically unhindered. For several years efforts have been made to exterminate the plant from the New York Botanical Garden, where it grows in tremendous quantities, and within a few years this will be accomplished. To eradicate the poison ivy plant in any of its forms, however, ther ours must be dug up and the area which they occupied be gone over year after year." Prof. Mansfield urges that exhibition gardens of poison ivy be arranged in the parks, where the public may study its appearance and the methods for its eradication. When all are familiar with the plant, steps may then be taken to assure its extermination from the entire country. NEW PUZZLE FOR SCIENTISTS Strange Discovery by Farmer Who Weft for Spring Water.

COOLIDGE PERMITS IT! e How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government’s Departments—Will the Self anc Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? a ae Washington, -D. C., Oct. 4, 1924) —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President ‘Taft. It was greatly extended, un- der President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Hard- ing; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent “administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. ‘To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft im- troduced it in the bureau of engrav- ing. He segregated the census-takers in this clty In 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an- nounced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Ses- regation, then, is a Republican in- stitution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing ex- tent by Republicans! ‘There is far more of it in the de- partments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- fee, which; makes it next to impos- sibie for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since thelr color is disclosed in their photo- graph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commis- sioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint 2 Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the spec- fal favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails trom North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the seg- regation forces, Col. Sherrill, super- intendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. ‘The colored people here who know the President could destroy segre- gation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a Single vote and where -he has full power aud absolutely no opposition. ‘They wonder it he {s*not a firm be- ever in segregation, especially since segregation fs onc of the chief ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “welcome home” in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation ‘rom the Republican President. (Bpecial to The Gazette.) ‘Washington, D. C.—In the postof. fico segregation is rampant. Th ¢ faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing funcheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage- ous as it is, is far lees galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as theugh they were lepers. ‘The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and Sees erent ee tee it and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even: farther tp Its solicleade for whites and neg- lect of colored. It maintains a well- appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and) other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployees. ‘This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation {s sven attempted in the tollets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the ‘white employees, in the very pres- ence of the culored, to attend a re- ception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social eve- ning with the officials for “the post- office employees,” yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the post- master to invite the colored as, well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation -would express {tself in appointments, assignments, ‘and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their ex- amination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the serv- fee, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over ‘him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The col- ored clerks have dared to form s union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured ‘Some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitte over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. ‘Cieaknd tn We.

Yet these superior girls are set off trom the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. “There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. Tam glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical incon- venience to the open, sem!-public hu- miliation of segregation. In tollet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work astignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation te in fall force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard easte that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites Dass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- aries. ‘The whites have a large recrea- tional center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. Durng lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro- American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was ab- Tuptly stopped, and the young man reported for ‘attempting to. take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for belng “one of those smart Negroes” who believe In “social equality,” and then dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance In- cident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. De- tectives came to the building to ar- rest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to dis- cover the pistol. They quickly drop- ped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dis- missed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge). gives them. Many of the employees have ex- pressed their deeply-wounded feel- ings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose tn- stitutions they are serving so faith- fully, and I have taken up a number. of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of ex- ist, and a request for the names of my informants.

The de- partment then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J.SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous Scheme of segregation {s a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. PR ees YO eat he ae ee ee Washington, D. €.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Wood- row Wilson and members of his fam- fy, three heroic young colored wom- en who lost their positions as a re- sult of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- ber of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. ' Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been not- ed for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as “‘a great Negro leader had tanght col- ored people to stay in thelr places.” ‘Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette iodged a pro- test with Secretary McAdoo to nc avail, and his noble wife began crusade against the undemocratic in novation. She took the platform here jn Washington and Boston be- fore the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. Sh¢ thundered against {t in our loca! white press, and addressed the né tional gathering of the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. Wher our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out on stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A to urge them to continue the fight for democracy was at the crises. Os wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabine and arouse our people, and the Na tion Association secured publicity {1 over six hundred influential whit Papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be th intention of the segregators, name ly, the elimination of the ‘colore¢ fQmplorees trom the bureau alto her. ‘The same segregation which som: of our people think fs the cherishes institution of the Democratic part is still there, in all of its fullness under the administration of th party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglas: helped to found. Our girls are em ployed there in far larger number than in any other branch of the pub lic service. THEY ARE SEGRE GATED in thelr rest rooms, toilets and working stations, and of coursé none are ever thought of for promo tions to executive places. They aré girls from our best nomes. most o them with high ag normal schoo training, and fine culture, The white girls are of no such grade, as ther fs no segregation for them in th great world of things. They hav. unlimited ficlds at high wage fo even mediocre talents. The best o! our girls must, take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of se. gregation. Our people are still hop ing for the Issuance of an order de stroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but im pairs the government service. (Snectal to The Gazette) Wwasegton, D. O-— tne treasary department, according to the Presi- dent’s recent acceptance speech, {s now under the ablest financial gentus since the days of Alexander Hamilton, It 1s to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West In- dies, and tn that long sweep of his- tory that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lin- coln’s cabinet, who, in a national ex- tremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohto’s master finan- eter, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! ‘The present head of the depart- ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not ap- pointed a colored clerk since his n- ecumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from ‘Texas, appointed and promoted sev- eral of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless. new taxes that the recent war necess!- tated, this ts by far the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing geveral thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are 80 scarce there that they can't be noticed. ‘There 1s the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there fs in the other branches of the gov- ernment—tfailure to recognize thelr efficiency when promotions are due: ability to go so far and no farther. ‘The various torms of segregation exist here a well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toflets, lock- er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set off for colored.

The white press of the elty is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this “delightful retreat,” and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand din- ers with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share 1s in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! ‘The registership of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfleld ap- pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the col- ored people are congregated in a sep- arate room which is publicly pro- clafined as ‘a colored division.” When it is discovered that Negro clerks are “working as white” in other divisions, they are promptly transfered to this “colored division.” Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; So they remain in a dilemna, fearing to act. Our clerks| must accept se- gregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress com- pels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen President Calvin Coolidge can stor every bit of this damnable segrega. tion, Just as he can condemn tha lawioss organization the Ku Kin an, COOLIDGE’S SEGREGATION Washington, D, C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight aguinst the segregation of our gov- ernment employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced, This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenuc bureau. In the former, beaver board ‘walls were maintained unt recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The Words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to in. crease segregation in the depart ments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little dur- ing the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executiv ‘departments and bureaus listed be low shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office ot the Register of th Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-Ameri can employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segre gated section of 18 of our employ- ees, as well as a segregated lunch ‘room, | Census Bureau —a segregates section of 60 Afro-American employ. ees. Bonus Section Ronus section of the War Depart ment—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. “Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segre- gated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue 1 Internal Revenue Bureau—a seg- regated section of 7 employees, ‘Office of the Treasurer of the Unt- ted States—a segregated section of 4 employees. ‘ar Department, ‘Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. 0. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segre- gated lunch room. Is IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the anly race, responsible members of which’ are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that thelr race “al- ways will be discriminated against." ‘The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even so- clal rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. ‘The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by na- ture without, self-respect and have no ‘gute’." The world re- spects only those who resent ‘and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- Utionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in overy war to vindicate the title of thelr race to equal liberty, and forever resist dental of rights fn our native land, however long race discrimination may continue.

Perry's resignation from the presidency of the Standard Life In- surance Co. and from the chairman- ship of the board of directors of the Citizens Trust Co., Atianta’s leading Tace business enterprises until re- cently. Perry is no longer connect- ed in any way with either the com- pany or the bank. The former is how owned by a white insurance company, and possibly the latter, too. Perry and his immediate as- Sociates in the Standard, who con- trolled it and the bank, are respon- sible for this loss to the race, it is said. He was also president of the Service Company, a holding com- ‘pany, which controlled practically all of the leading Afro-American busi- ness enterprises in Atlanta, This bosition he seeks to retain altho, ac- cording to Editor Davis, “it is insol- Vent and its stock without value”, The Independent also says: “Mr. Perry believes that he can rebuild the Service Company and save some- thing for the people who invested large sums of money in its STOCK under his advice and leadership”. The Service Co., it seems, was drag- ged down with’ the “death” of the Standard. Referring to Perry, Edi- tor Davis says: “We have always had faith in ‘his ability to promote, Dut little in his ability to invest or to operate after promotion”. This note of warning the Independent might have sounded beforeiit was too late and thus haye saved hundreds of our people of his city many thou- sands of hard-earned dollars they were induced by Heman E. Perry and his associates to invest in Atlanta's greatest stock-selling orgy, which they inaugurated. There is' a les- son in the foregoing for all of our people of the country, particularly those here in the North where the southern stock-selling craze has been rampant for several years. __ Patronize Our Advertisers
