Boston, Mass.—In its final appeal for Peter Salem Day, June 17, The National Equal Rights League requests that every race organization in the country, send strong resolutions to President Coolidge demanding the abolition of federal segregation in recognition of a century and a half of our soldiers' service without ever a traitor. Every church is asked to send resolutions on Sunday, June 14th, and every lodge and organization on its recognized meeting night during the week. URGES WORK FOR OUR BOYS. Etes Park, Col.—Extension of increased work among our boys in this country was forecast with the adoption of a resolution by Y. M. C. A. boys' work secretaries at the third general "Y" assembly, June 11. The resolution seeks the appointment of an Afro-American boys' work secretary to the national council of the organization. The secretary in charge of the boys' activities would be a member of the race, according to the resolution. Named An African as Judge Accra, Gold Coast, Africa.—C. E.

The Board vainly Trying To Force The Acceptance of "Jim-Crow" Schools Using the "Afro" Teachers as a Club. Dayton; O.—Permanent appointment of Afro-American teachers in the public schools here is being held up by the board of education, pending the settlement of the mandamus suit, recently brought against the board and Supt. Paul C. Stetson by Mr. Earl Reese, 227 Norwood Ave., in an effort to force our people to accent "Jim-crow" schools. The suit, filed April 30 in the court of appeals, was to have been heard May 20 but was postponed, as usual. The suit was brought by Reese to compel the board to admit his two children to the classes in the large brick building at Garfield school. Heretofore this building has been reserved for white children and white teachers, while two frame buildings, one dilapidated and the other a temporary structure, are used for our children and teachers. Mr. Reese sought to have the principal of the Garfield school admit his children into the brick building and when refused he brought suit to compel the board to do so. Trying To Force Acceptance. The action of the board of education in holding up the appointments of the ten "Afro" teachers will mean a saving of more than $10,000, school officials say, should the court of appeals rule that segregation of our children is in violation of the law (which it clearly is) and order the board to admit the children of Reese, and others of the race. In this case, they state, there would be no need for our teachers. They would be appointed substitute teachers which would give them little or no employment. On the other hand, they say, if our teachers are appointed now and the board is ordered to admit our children the board will be forced to pay out $10,000 for services it will not be able to use in much as our teachers would not be used in the mixed classes. About seventy of our teachers are teaching mixed classes in Cleveland and there is no good reason why the same condition cannot exist here. However, we will NOT accept "jim-crow" schools even to get "Afro" teachers in the schools at this time. They can be placed, later on. That will be our next fight—to get JUSTICE and our full rights. BATHE IN SEWER FILTH! A Coolidge Appointee Suggests It—Sherrill's Potter—He's From "Down Home"—At The Nation's Capital! Washington, D. C.—The establishment of a separate park for recreational activities for our people in the District of Columbia was proposed, last week Tuesday, by Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, a Coolidge appointee, in charge of public buildings and grounds, in a letter to Jessie C. Sutter, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Council. The Sherrill letter was written in regard to the bathing beach problem, which confronts the city since the closing of the bathing beach for white persons only in Tidal Basin. Sherrill suggests that the old bathing beach site in Tidal Basin be reopened for whites and that separate bathing facilities be established for our people at Jones Point, familiarly known as "Buzzard Point", on the Anacostia River, east of the Army War College. It is understood that this proposed site for the establishment of a bathing beach for our people was formerly used as a dumping ground and that two sewers empty into the Anacostia River at this point. BALLARD-PERKINS BALLARD—PERKINS. CADIZ.—A pretty home wedding took place at high noon, Thursday, June 11, '25, when Miss Elise Ousegina Ballard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Ballard of Cadiz, and Dr. Roscoe Lewis Perkins, of Williamson, W. Va., were married in the home of the bride's parents by Rev. F. H. Mason, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. The decorations were pink and white peonies and ferns. The bride wore a gown of white satin and carried roses showered with lilies-of-the-valley. Miss Mildred McCullough of Wheeling, the maid of honor, wore a gown of pale georgette over silk and carried pink roses. Rev. L. A. Perkins, brother of the groom, was best man. Miss Hilda Ramsey played the wedding march. Immediately following the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served. Covers were laid for eighty. After an eastern trip, Dr. and Mrs. Perkins will reside in Williamson, W. Va. Many beautiful and useful presents were received. The out-of-town guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Dolan and Miss Mamie McMechen of Wheeling, W. Va.; Mrs. A. J. Guy, Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth Guy and Mrs. Beatrice Christian of Steubenville; Atty. John E. Ballard of Cleveland, and Rev. L. A. Perkins of Williamson, W. Va. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DURING THE WORLD WAR RESENTED AND REFUTED By Dr. Emmett J. Scott; Special Assistant Secretary of War During That Memorable Conflict—Quotes Gen. Pershing Against the Alabama "Cracker", Gen. Bullard—French Generals' Praise. Washington, D. C.—Doctor Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of War, during the World conflict, 1917-1919, has sent the following letter to the New York Herald-Tribune (daily) refuting the attack of Gen. Robert Lee Bullard, of Youngsboro, Alabama, upon our officers and soldiers, who served in France during the World War: Dr. Scott's Letter. Editor, N. Y. Herald-Tribune and Syndicated Newspapers: Bullard and The 92nd Division. (From The Chicago Daily Tribune.) Chicago, June 9—I was a lieutenant in the 92nd division during the war. Gen. Bullard says that the Negro division was cowardly and refused to fight. What about it? It was a well known fact that our men were to be nothing but cannon fodder. Why should a Negro fight the battles of the white man and be his slave? The charges and statements against Colored officers and soldiers who served in France during the World War, contained in Gen. Bullard's articles in the New York Herald-Tribune, and which are also being syndicated throughout the country, were completely exploded in 1918, not only by Ralph W. Tyler, special representative, who was a regularly commissioned war correspondent to specialize in reports regarding colored troops in France, but also by official records which have been published in full detail in my history of "The American Negro in the World War". Over against the charges and statements of Gen. Bullard may be set the conclusive statement of Gen. John J. Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, who said: "A tour of inspection among American Negro troops by officers of these headquarters shows the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. * * * "The only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work. "John J. Pershing." Gen. Bullard, of course, comes from that section of the country where the tradition has been built up that the Negro soldier can become a good fighting man only when commanded by white men. It is a tradition, which eager efforts have been made to preserve, that colored officers are not to be depended upon and that colored soldiers will not fight under colored officers. The record made by colored regiments in France, including, those brigaded with the French, will stand the acid test of investigation and technical criticism. Among such troops were not only the Old Fifteenth of New York City, the Eighth Illinois, the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, but also the 373rd Infantry, the 372nd, and the units of the 92nd Division, and the 93rd Division. Scott's history of "The American Negro in the World War" published in full detail the citations and commendatory notes of Gen. Duplessis, Gen. Goybet, Gen. Gouraud, Gen. Quillet, and many other French commanders. Over against the charges of Gen. Bullard, of Youngsboro, Alabama, I wish once again to place a statement of Gen. Pershing, being an address delivered by him to assembled units of the 92nd Division, which Gen. Bullard assails, at Le Mans, France. Jan. 28, 1919: "I want you officers and soldiers of the 92nd Division to know that the 92nd Division stands second to none in the record you have made since your arrival in France. I am proud of the part you have played in the great conflict which ended on the 11th of November, yet you have only done what the American people expected you to do and you have measured up to every expectation of the commander-in-chief. I realize that you did not get into the game as early as some of the other units, but since you took over your first sector you have acquitted yourselves with credit, and I believe that if the armistice had not become effective on the 11th day of November, the 92nd would have still further distinguished itself. I commend the 92nd Division for its achievements not only in the field, but on the record its men have made in their individual conduct. The American public has every reason to be proud of the record made by the 92nd Division. It remains only to be said that the charges against colored officers were thrashed out in France and also before a special commission assembled after the Armistice in Washington, and I think the record bears me out that in each and every case the men were acquitted. The Negro soldier in the World War can hold his head as high as any, for the records of individual units as well as of the two divisions won the unstinted praise of officers of every kind and degree. IN-UNION IT IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS tack! MERS IN FRANCE WAR RESENTED AND UTED Special Assistant Secretary of Amorable Conflict—Quotes the Alabama "Cracker", such Generals' Praise. Bullard and The 92nd Division. (From The Chicago Daily Tribune.) Chicago, June 9—1 was a lieutenant in the 92nd division during the war. Gen. Bullard says that the Negro division was cowardly and refused to fight. What about it? It was a well known fact that our men were to be nothing but cannon fodder. Why should a Negro fight the battles of the white man and be his slave? We learned a whole lot about the American white man in the war. He is nothing but a beast and a devil Dr. Emmett J. Scott and a hypocrite. We know what they did to each other. The worst savages in Africa are harmless in comparison. When the north was fighting the south, in America, Gen. Sherman destroyed the whole country he marched through on his way to Georgia. He made a more complete job of it than was done by the Germans in France. And this was done by Americans against Americans, against their own people. Even in those days they forced the Negroes into the army to fight their battles. As for Gen. Bullard's story, it is all bunk. His great victories were against deserters and half starved Germans who were glad to be captured. There was only one real battle in which Americans had a hand; that was in the Argonne, and Germany was starved out and beaten before it started. The Negro division (92d) was not in this fight. We refused to fight; we had no quarrel with the Germans; they never did us any harm. J. Williams. Formerly of the 92d Division. Bullard Kids Himself Toledo, Ia., June 9.—The Negro soldier fought and died for the Stars and Stripes and now is called a coward by Gen. Bullard, who states that "they are hopelessly inferior." I wonder if there is a race on the globe that has made the progress that the Negro has since the emancipation, although they are prosecuted at every turn by such narrow minded people as the general? One of America's foremost statesmen once said "keep the Negro out of the schoolhouse and a gun out of his hand or he will whip the world." I wonder if Bullard remembers that and is just trying to kid himself into believing that they are cowards. ANTI-KLAN BILL KILLED ANTI-KLAN BILL KILLED. Springfield, Ill.—The house killed an anti-Ku Klux Klan bill, June 11, sponsored by Hon. Wm. E. King of Chicago. The vote was taken following arguments against the bill and an impassioned plea for it by Representative King, one of our several members of the Illinois State Assembly. Although it was subjected to bitter attacks from every angle not a word was spoken in defense of the ku klux klan. All the arguments against the bill were based on the policy involved. Beat, Convict, To Death! Tarboro, N. C.—A coroner's jury held W. C. Gulley, road foreman and R. V. Tyler, guard, both "crackers", for the death of Joseph Armstrong, a convict, who died, recently, after a most brutal whipping. They were indicted, last week Monday morning, at a special session of the grand jury. They plead guilty and were sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary.

SCATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925. The Hon. Wm. E. King, member of the Illinois Legislature, made a game fight and lost. Try it again, Brother King! You will win, the next time. --- Help the "Peter Salem Day Monumental Protest", noted elsewhere in this paper, and in so doing you will help the race. Eternal vigilance and activity is the price of full liberty. We believe that "J. Williams, formerly of the 92d Division", who signs the letter to The Chicago (Daily) Tribune, republished on our first page, today, is a white man masquerading as a "Negro". Read it carefully and see if you do not agree with us. The editor of The Gazette attended a meeting of the board of trustees of the Combined N. & I. (State) Department of Wilberforce, O. University, Thursday morning, and will visit Springfield and Dayton, en route home, to study the public school question in those cities. Our people there are still having more or less trouble with the black and white advocates of "lim-crow" schools. Mexicans hate Americans (white) whom they style "gringoes", because of the South's mistreatment of the Mexican peons who crossed the southern border into this country. Many Mexicans are part Indian and part "Negro", are very dark in color, and the southern "cracker" particularly has tried in vain to make them accept the mistreatment meted out to our people in that, the most prejudiced section of this country. --- Howard University alumni held its annual meeting in Washington, D.C., recently, and elected officers opposed to the arbitrary and very objectifiable rule of J. Stanley Durkee, president of that great institution of learning. It seems perfectly clear to us that Durkee should be made to do the "Fayette McKenzie" act—resign. Howard will be benefited just as Fisk University has undoubtedly been by McKenzie's vacating the presidency. He had to be pried loose from the job and the same thing will be found to be necessary in Durkee's case. BULLARD AND OUR OVERSEAS SOLDIERS. We cannot imagine any but a southern "cracker" being contemptible enough to attack the splendid record our soldiers made in France during the World War. Then, too, it takes a wonderful amount of "nerve and gall" for any soldier to give the lie, directly or indirectly, to his superior officer whether that soldier be retired or in active service. Yet that is just what Gen. Bullard of Alabama has done in his miserable attack so pertinently referred to in our Washington, D. C. letter on the first page of this paper. All the French generals and people, too, speak in the highest praise of our overseas soldier boys and the only one to attack their splendid record is an Alabama "cracker" soldier who stands absolutely alone in his criticism. Yes, we do feel like saying: Lord, have mercy! THE DAYTON SCHOOL FIGHT! The Dayton school board, backed by the Dayton Ku Klux Klan, is trying to use the "Colored" teachers, who teach in the "jim-crow" schools of that city, as a club to force our people of Dayton to consent to the retention" of the two "jim-crow" schools, but will not succeed because they have both the law and right on their side. The board says, in any event it will not permit our teachers to instruct "mixed classes". That narrows the fight down to the sole question of mixed or "jim-crow" schools, and our people of Dayton ought to know now just what to do. Drop the "Negro" teacher question and fight all the harder for mixed schools! Later on, the question of "Negro" teachers in "mixed classes" can be taken up and it, too, fought to a successful issue. Do not give the board a club, any longer, to use in a vain effort to force you into accepting "jim-crow" schools! That is the course followed in other cities that have gotten rid of "jim-crow" schools and finally secured places in them for our teachers. We still feel that Mr. Earl Reese and our people of Dayton, actively associated with him in the school case, made a great mistake, which it is not yet too late to correct, when they failed to take our advice to associate in the case that eminent Springfield jurist (white), a former member of the Ohio Supreme Court. There would not have been so many delays of decision in either the common pleas court or court of appeals if he had been employed. "THE BIRTH (RAPE) OF A NATION". Several years ago, after the editor of The Gazette had twice had the infamous photoplay, "The Birth (Rape) of a Nation", barred from Ohio (under the Willis state administration and during the World War) the Griffith interests made a third effort to exhibit it in this state, making their last stand right here in Cleveland and at this city's leading theater (at the time), the Euclid Ave, opera house. The mayor of this city (Harry L. Davis), later on governor of Ohio, at the request of our people ordered the film seized. The Griffith interests appealed from his decision to the Federal Court and were informed by it that final decision was a matter for the Ohio courts to make. This has finally been done by the Ohio Supreme Court, in a case instituted by Vernon M. Reigel, state director of education, who contended that the infamous film is "not moral, educational or amusing". As a matter of fact, it is viciously harmful and most insulting, not only to our people but to all Americans who love their country and have high regard for such exceptional historical characters as Gen. U. S. Grant, Lovejoy and others who are simply maligned in that rotten photoplay, now barred from Ohio by decision of the Ohio Supreme Court. Thank the Lord for that. All the plans for entertaining our State Federation of Women's clubs, which convenes in this city, June 23, 24, 25 and 26, have been completed. Sessions will be held at St. John's A. M. E. church. State night will be Wednesday evening. The welcome will be extended. Tuesday evening, and a reception given, Thursday evening, at the Women's club, by the City federation. Other features will make it one of the most interesting museums of the organization's history. Various clubs will be during the week. This will be the silver anniversary of the Federation. Mrs. Carrie Clifford, a former Clevelander; Miss_Hallie Q. Brown, Mrs. Mary Bethune, national president, and others of prominence in the organization have signified their intention to attend. The public is invited to the sessions. Mrs. Clara B. Hardy of St. Paul, sister of the late Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, is in Cleveland in the interest of the Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund, to be used for the maintenance of the Frederick Douglass home (at Anacostia, near Washington, D.C.), now the headquarters of our National Federation of Women's uniting efforts of Mrs. Talbert long before her death, and after the later Booker T. Washington had failed in an effort to relieve the property of a considerable indebtedness. Our local churches and women's clubs, particularly, should encourage and help Mrs. Hardy all possible because her cause is entirely worthy. Frederick Douglass' home means much to the race. He was our greatest leader and we have produced none to equal him since his death. Frederick Douglass home should be kept in proper douglass home should be mortal both to him and the splendid woman who saved it to the race. Help Mrs. Hardy! She is the guest of Mr. Arthur T. Abbott and daughter, 2127 E. 96th St. Cleveland. RACE PREJUDICE "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds to together more baseness, cruelty or abomination than any other sort of error in the world."

Hubbard Sets New World Record. Chicago, Ill.—Competing under the colors of the University of Michigan for the last time, De Hart Hubbard, the Wolverine's sensational athlete, Saturday achieved the ambition of his athletic career when he smashed the world's record for the ruffing broad jump, setting a mark of 25 ft. 10 7-8 inches, a record that experts say may stand for all time. The marvelous leap was the outstanding performance of the national collegiate track and field championship meet, which drew the flower of America's intercollegiate stars into the 1925 season. The individual championship honors of the 1925 season. The meet, with an entry of more than 400 athletes from 62 universities and colleges from coast, to coast, resulted in an avalanche of record-breaking per- 25¢ —is the right price to pay for a good tooth paste— LISTERINE TOOTH PASTE Large Tube 25¢ formances, including a world's record, a national intercollegiate mark and six records for the meet. Hubbard achieved his record-breaking leap on his very last jump as he had reached the end of his trials. With failure meaning the end of his intercollegate career, he took off his sweater. The twenty-one-year-old Afro-American flash swiftly got away to a perfect start, cleared the takeoff with perfect form and sent his body hurling through space kicking his legs in scissor-fashion just before his feet hit the earth. The jump beat the record of 25 feet 6 3-16 inches by 4 and 11-16 inches established by R. L. Legendre, (white), of Ugetown university, in the Olympic games in Paris, last season. It was a one-metre mark, Hubbard had cleared the 25-0 metre mark, a performance heretofore achieved twice by two other athletes, Ned Gourdin, (Afro-American), of Yale, and Legendre. Before making his record-breaking jump, Hubbard established himself as the leading collegiate sprinter in America by winning the 100-yard dash from a sparkling field in :69 8-10. His performance bettered the record for the meet by on-tenth of a second. Belated Money For Jack Johnson. Belated Money For Jack Johnson.

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) 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, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its scent under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and degree to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city 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, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany the papers, is tenacious; and on to by our Republican president. Only last week, a beautiful girl appeared after being passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent 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 segregation 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 and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafferia for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons 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, disadvantageous as it is, is far less 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 though they would be more. The injustice stings all the more when they wield that they are far more valuable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect 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 employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker room, segregation is even in the toilets. 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 colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the post-office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the office, before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster 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 itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, 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 tasks. The colored clerks may be forced to form a which we it's regularly and often sends many 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 bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this house structure because of the heavy work, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation prevents pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this 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. He was a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly 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 being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he was carried to the dance floor. The accidental 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. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately discharged. Our employees our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insult that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exaggerated by my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, D.SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925. that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) (Special To The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a rebel of their protest, and the noble wife, Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly the White Accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the museum 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 noted 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 taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees, from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the publique. HERE ARE SCORE-GRADED, the ideal group of working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the best of our girls must go to school. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet the department is the one that cannot be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent safeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that that presents two thousand dinners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred 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 dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination and being with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government 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 registrar of the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until 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 Collidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the office again again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the camagna. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury that have two segregated section—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Missus Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employees. Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a seg- regated section of 7 employees regis ection of employees Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department. Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination and the winning of civil rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. 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 nature without self-respect and world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Beston (Mass.) Guardian.

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed an unlawful purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (98 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the injury occurred, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (68 v. 84 F.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next warding of the law to the distribution of the Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (83 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching. in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any person present. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: PBS. med. eg. 1 representative of victim of lynching. jury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. ps. inst member of mob. inst another county. from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in falling to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) **OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW** Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating or barber shop, public convenance by land or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. However, the governor the next preceding season shall pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Be Glad You're Not in Europe By ERWIN GREER (President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago) Seventy-five cents a gallon for gasoline; no parking permitted in the downtown districts; a speed limit of twenty miles an hour; heavy fines passed out to the chappies who exceed this limit and license fee of one hundred and twenty-five dollars a year tacked on an automobile. Be glad, then, that you're not living in Europe. whole of England, with the exception of a few that have been recently installed by Americans. These will have to change the habits of a nation before they become popular, for in England everyone that owns a car carries his gasoline in a two-gallon can in the tonneau (yep, they still call 'em "tonneaus" over there) of his car. CAR What's wrong with this picture? And it is small wonder that there are very few traffic accidents in London, and that for this great city the total deaths chargeable to traffic accidents is less in a year than in an American city in a single month. For in London all traffic moves at twenty miles per hour, every one takes his time, there is absolutely no parking in the downtown district, and when some youth gets a bit reckless and hits him he is almost certain of instant arrest and a very heavy fine. Compressed air pumps at garages are practically unknown. If a tire goes flat why the old hand and foot pumps—together with a lot of elbow grease—pumps it up again. The champions in this line can pump up a tire in less than ten minutes. Laugh that off! An import duty of one-third of the cost of the car is charged on every car brought into England and for every spare part of an imported car. The one great lesson that London has to teach American motorists is the value of great patience in business life, and of eliminating all the hurry and haste not absolutely necessary; but for this one lesson, London many, many things about every angle of motoring.
