PRIME SPORT NEWS COLUMBUS.—Police were holding for investigation, last week Friday, Benjamin L. Walts, aged 35, college graduate, and for many years an instructor at Wilberforce University. He is said to have confessed shooting his wife, Mrs. Caroline Walts, aged 26, who was said to be in a serious condition at Grant hospital. Giving himself up soon after the shooting, last week Wednesday night, Walts, police say, explained that he became extremely jealous, in fact "insanely jealous," when he saw his wife, from whom he was separated, "talking and joking with another man." Two bullets were fired, wounding the woman in her arm and shoulder.

James Garrison, who recently migrated here from the south and whose academic training is meager, had local kluxes, two hundred strong, or thirty-eight automobiles full, at the opening of his church-tent in "Need More Section" of Springfield, Labor day. He calls his tent, St. James Baptist church. There were no good people, including the Rev., and his family—wife, daughter and son-in-law. He had tickets to sell at twenty-five cents each which stated a concert was to be given by --- Hubbard Three Times Winner. New York City.—De Hart Hubbard, running broad jump record holder and University of Michigan speed marvel, outclassed a field of the country's fastest runners at the olympic games of the New York chapter. Knights of Columbus. In the American League, baseball park, last week Monday night. He breasted the tape first in a special 50-yard dash against three of the world's fastest sprinters. The western speedster flashed over the tape in 5-35 seconds. Chester-Bowman was second with Jackson Scholz, third. Hubbard repeated this in a special 75-yard dash against the same field. The time was 7 4-5 seconds. The Michigan star wound up in a sensational exhibition in a special 100-yard special race. He stepped the distance in 10 1-5 seconds. Jackson Scholz placed second, Alfred Leconey, third. Wills Demands a New Contract. New York City.—A new agreement for a heavyweight championship fight next year between Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey was ordered by the New York boxing commission, last week, after Wills and his manager, Paddy Mullins, rejected the original document signed by Jack Kearns and Tex Rickard. Wills and his manager contended that the challenger was not protected. Mullins objected to the omission from the agreement of Wills' name as Dempsey's opponent and the failure of the contract to mention when and where it is proposed to stage the battle. He also demanded that some assurance that the $25,000 which he is asked to post for Wills will be returned to him in event Dempsey fails to keep the agreement. A straightforward set of articles, leaving no "loopholes" for Dempsey, was the ultimatum of Mullins. The new articles will be presented to Mullins, next week, at which time it is the intention of the commission to scrap the first agreement, under which Rickard and Kearns, the latter acting on behalf of the champion, posted $25,000. To Meet Any Worthy Opponent. New York City.—Harry Wills wants to fight any opponent without regard to weight or color. He said Benj. F. Simmons and Co. for the benefit of St. James Baptist "church". The kluxes had their flags but not their robes, and parked their autos in front of the tent. They gave him some money, which he used to pay his many debts, especially grocery bills. When I asked him about the money he would not aid him in building a church and the klan would. He carries a hand-bag and resembles S. H. Dudley, as a comedian. so. Monday, and so did his manager, Paddy Mullins. Wills confirmed the report that he had signed to box any opponent' for the National Sportsmans Club at Newark. Matchmaker Culhan, of the Sportsmans Club, holds this contract. Related Acknowledgement!

This acknowledgement of the courtesy granted, at our request, should have been made at that time rather than now and would have been but for an oversight. Local Baseball Festivities. Beginning with a double header, Sunday afternoon, at Hooper Field, the Tellings (white) will inaugurate a fall baseball series with the All Stars—to play every Sunday during the present month and throughout October. The All Stars are to be strengthened by the addition of several new stars, prominent among whom will be Third Baseman George Shackelford of the Harrisburg team of our Eastern league; Vick Harris, an outfielder of the same team; Pitcher Williams of the Homestead Grays; Catcher Hines and First Baseman Ware of Rube Foster's Chicago Glants. The Tellings will add to their roster major league players residing in Cleveland at the close of the big circuit season. In planning the series, the managers are carrying out the idea started, last year, when they played a special series at the same place. Burned at the Stake. New Albany, Miss — L, Q, Ivy, tim butter cuter, was burned at the stake by a mob of American barbarians who had taken him from officers near here. Sunday afternoon. Ivy did NOT confess that he attacked the daughter of a farmer in the Etah community, 18 miles from here, Friday. Regardless of this fact, he was taken to the scene of the attack and burned to death. More than 1,000 American lynch-murderers were in the mob, which took Ivy from Sheriff Roberts of Union county, and Sheriff Beese of Lee county. THE NEGRO. By Dr. Alexander Lyons, Rabbi of Eighth Ave. Temple, Brooklyn, N. Y. It was my delightful privilege recently to participate in a Sunday evening service at the great church over which presides Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, that genial giant, who to my mind looms larger than any other occupant of the 'Christian pulpit of America.' The occasion was to emphasize the claim of the Negro of America upon the fraternal co-operation of his white brother. The Negro in America is entitled to the brotherly backing of the white population. He came here by compulsion. He has increasingly justified the sympathy and generosity of his more fortunate fellow-citizens and friends. With increased opportunity he is presenting a progressive development and contribution to the country's assets. He should be encouraged to remain a Negro true to himself in the direction of his highest and noblest possibilities. He embodies value essential to the common good just as the white man does. In treating him with justice and sympathy we shall not only benefit him but both benefit and tohoo to our country, the highest sufferer in this country and suffered for it. He has convincingly demonstrated his willingness to die for America. America must exhibit in practical form the persistent, willingness not only to let him live, but to help him to live for the promotion of its idealistic purposes. The treatment of the colored man of America will be a constant standard of the status of civilization of the white man of America. Both as Jew and as American, I want to see every man, woman and child in our God blessed country unlimited in opportunity and encouragement for making the best of themselves for the blessing of the country and through it for humanity. A NEW WORK Our Schools to Study in French the Story of The Great Toussaint L'Onverture. Dr. G. R. Simpson has done the race a great favor in editing for school purposes Gragnon-Lacoste's biography of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the black soldier, statesman, and martyr of Haiti. Here we have a valuable book subserving a double purpose. It facilitates the study of a foreign language by presenting matter of immediate interest to the Afro-American student. At the same time it supplies him with valuable information about one of the greatest figures in history regardless of his color. It is merely the narrative of the unusual deeds of an exceptional man. With little opportunity for development, the hero of the story made himself a leader of men. Against tremendous odds he hurled his ill-equipped soldiers at the military force of France, representing the prowest blood of Europe. He humiliatingly defeated these Frenchmen, and laid the foundation of an independent republic. No story is more fascinating than this. Few writers have written a narrative as gripping as this of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the warrior, the hero, the savior of his country. To appreciate his worth one cannot do better than bear in mind these words of Wendell Phillips: "I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken "oaths and a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. "No Retaliation" was his great motto and the rule of his life; and the last words uttered to his son in France were these: "My boy, you will one day go back to Santo Domingo: forget that France murdered your father". I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave; I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave-trade in the humble villages of his hometown. Fifty years ago, when truth gets a hearing, the muse of history will put Phi洛尼 for the Greeks,ATUS for the Romans, Hampton for England, Fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright consummate flower of our earlier civilization, and John Brown as the ripe fruit of our noon-day"; then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L'Ouverture." The book is well printed and neatly bound. It contains a useful map of Haiti. It has a number of exercises for composition and conversation in French and also a useful vocabulary. It is a handy volume containing 139 pages, sold for $1.10 by the Associated Publishers, 1538 Ninth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION! ONE MOBOCRAT KILLED AND ANOTHER WOUNDED IN DETROIT. Two Hundred Cleveland Lot Owners Meet—Kingsley's Unauthorized Talk—Gentsch's Threat—Garvin and Wills' Statements—Eleven Arrests in Detroit—They Will Never Be Convicted! Two hundred property holders of the Wade allotment met, Sunday afternoon, in an effort to prevent the occupation by Dr. C. H. Garvin, of a house that he is having built at 11114 Wade Park Ave. The Wade allotment, an "exclusive" residential section, contrary to the law of the land, extends from E. 105th St. to E. 117th St., north and east of Wade park. The meeting, held in Metropolitan building, 10609 Superior Ave., was also attended by Rev. Harold M. Kingsley, of Detroit, former pastor of Mt. Zion Cong. church, who was present on behalf of Dr. Garvin, and J. Walter Wills, who said he was there to defend himself against a charge that he had been guilty in the Wade park neighborhood. Atty. Wun H. Boyd, one of the property holders, acted chairman. A permanent organization was formed and a motion passed to put the matter in the hands of a committee authorized to consult officers of the Community Fund, who will be asked to work with the leaders of our people in the city in an effort to settle the dispute amicably. Boyd is head of this committee and appointed its members. The meeting with a statement by W. E. MacEwen, vice-president of the National Refining Co., whose home is next door to the house being built by Garvin. MacEwen said the property that she had returned to tell it to a member of the race who approached her, but had eventually sold it on July 31 to one of the other group. A few days later the property was transferred to Rose West, the maiden name of Mrs. Garvin, MacEwen said, and the doctor had acquired the lot in that way. He also said that his attorney, R. J. Selzer, and he had immediately arranged a meeting with Dr. Garvin and that the latter had stated that the property was not for sale at any price, that he intended to live in the house now being built and had purchased furniture and fittings for it. Atty. Sam Hing, theinger, held the floor, and add his protest against our people being allowed to obtain homes in the allotment. Atty. Frank P. Gentsch, who lives at 11104 Wade Park Ave., on the other side of the Garvin property, started a speech in which mentioned Wills. Then it was that the presence of Wills was disclosed. He arose and requested that he be allowed to make a statement. A general protest was raised. Boyd then took the floor and asked that the meeting show all present the courtesies which such a gathering required. Wills, however, did not speak. At this point, Rev. Kingsley, now a resident of Detroit, requested permission to say a few words on behalf of Garvin. A vote was taken, and he was permitted to speak. He said that the attitude of our people in this matter was one of conciliation and that they would ostracize any person who was at race in a building speculation at the expense of a white man or white residential district. He further offered to see Garvin again and attempt to bring about a meeting that would result in amicable settlement of the problem. He was applauded as he sat down. Sure! All such are. He was not authorized to speak for our people of this community and, certainly had his "nerve" with him. At the close of the minister's remarks Gentsch again rose and, pointing at Wills, said: "I want you to know that you will never live in the Wade allotment. Furthermore, you can say to Dr. Garvin that he will never live in the house that he is building on Wade Park Ave." In a second speech MacEwen said Garvin had purchased property on Delaware Rd., Shaker Heights, and had eventually sold this under pressure for a price far in excess of its real value. In an interview Garvin, Sunday night, said he had owned a lot on Delaware Rd. for eighteen months and had sold it when he found that he could get no police protection against the antagonism of those who objected to his building there, but he denied he had received more than the value of the lot. "I am not trying to 'shake down' anyone," he said. "I am building a home in which I intend to live. That home is not for sale. I cannot say any more about it, tonight." Boyd was made chairman of the permanent organization, Malcolm L. McBride was elected treasurer and Charles P. Hine; secretary. At a meeting, held Monday evening at Wills' undertaking rooms, the following persons were named as a committee to meet the Wade allotment property owners' committee in IN-UNION 16 STRENGTH E COPY FIVE CENTS LAND!

Boyd, Charles B. Hine, John McHannon, W. E. Richey, R. C. Koblitz and James R. Hinchliffe. They met in Boyd's office in the Marshall Bldg. All the members of the two committees were in attendance at the conference, Tuesday, except Mr. McHannon. Each one expressed himself, our committee taking a firm and unanimous stand in support of Dr. C. H. Garvin's retention of his property and occupation of the house when completed. W. B. Davis, representing the Federated Churches of the city, was also in attendance. When called upon for a statement, he plainly told both committees that only intelligence and character should be considered (and not color or race) in the matter under discussion. In the conference, the conference adjourned without making any effort to select a date for a second meet. Nevertheless, the following was given the daily papers by Atty. W. H. Boyd at the conclusion of the conference: "All aspects of the matter were discussed in a friendly manner and the committee have been asked to think over the problem. There shall be another meeting in three or four days at which time we hope to reach some agreement." Defended Their Home — Charged With Murder! Detroit, Mich.—Dr. O. H. Sweet and ten other African-Americans, who defended Dr. Sweet's home from the attack of a mob, Sept. 9, have been held for trial, charged with first degree murder. Judge Faust heard arguments for bail in individual cases, Tuesday. Defense of the imprisoned members of the race, Dr. Sweet, his wife and two brothers, and seven others, has been taken over by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which raised $700 at a mass meeting, to which is added $400 raised by our doctors and which will be augmented by additional sums as they are given. The national office of the N. A. A. C. P. will also contribute financially to the defense. Its assistant secretary (Walter White) has been in conference with Judge Ira W. Jayne, of the Wayne County Circuit Court, is a member of the N. A. C. P. board of producers, of the local branch and with local white and colored lawyers as well as with the chairman of the local interracial committee, appointed by Mayor John W. Smith. In connection with the disorders, Mr. White reports the following facts: 1. Mayor Smith charges the disorders were due directly to instigation by the Ku Klux Klan. 2. The Detroit police, said to be honeycombed with kluxers, are charged with illegally shooting at least 55 citizens of Detroit between Jan. 1 and Sept. 1, 1925. 3. Dr. O. H. Sweet, age 33, a graduate of Wilberforce and Howard Universities, and well-known practising physician, bought a house last Spring at 2905 Garland Ave., in a middle-class white neighborhood, with several Afro-American residents in nearby streets. 4.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925. ‘We understand that our commit- tee, in conference, Tuesday, with the Wade allotment property owners’ committee, told its members plainly that there was to be no backward step taken in the Garvin property matter. That is exactly what all of our Joyal, selt and race respecting people of this community, and the country, too, expected them to do. Now, stand pat! a Last week, President Coolidge ap- pointed a Georgia woman, a Demo- erat, a member of the Civil Service Commission. This is one of the po- sitions Coolidge “Negro” supporters asked for. ‘The week before, he ap- pointed another Georgian and a Kluxer, to a federal position in that state. It's about time for Monroe Mason of Boston, “‘Noomay” Brascher and Roscoe “Cackling” Simmons of Chicago to issue another bulletin in (ratee of the President. - Those “Negroes”, who led the fight for Coolidge during the last na- tional campaign, seem to have “taken to the woods” in the last few months. Not a murmur, not even one of disappointment, have they ut- tered”im recent weeks. What's the “Feonded Tato the political woodchuck holes? The Coolidge campaign man- agement certainly “made monkies" of its most active “Negro” followers, and the President is “rubbing it in”, these days. —tli— City Manager William R. Hopkins favors a representative and cosmo- politan committee to help run the open air theater, to be built, next sum- mer, in Rockefeller park, if the voters approve the $100,000 bond issue for the purpose. That is the correct position to take, Mr. Hopkins. Mean- time, let those of our girls, who wish to train as nurses, make application to the City Manager for admission to the City Hospital. Our qight tn both hospital and theater is one and ‘the dee, J. W. Wills informs The Gazette that Rev. H. M. Kingsley sald our people “would ostracise Dr. C. H.

Since Kingsley has not secured a correc- tion, in the Plain Dealer, or made ‘any effort to do so, as far as we know, ‘The Gazette, like all others, must ‘hold him responsible for the unwar- ranted statement the Plain Dealer attributes to him. lt TOO MANY “GOOD TIMES". Im @ speech to 700 pioneer work- ers in Duluth, Minn. industries, last week Wednesday evening. Samuel Vauclain,—president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, ‘aid be accumulated money because he was too busy to spend what he earned, “It you take too much time off to spend your earnings you can't ac- cumulate, and it is intended for one to accumulate. I early recognized that it was my business and my duty to do all the work which came to me to do in the very best manner that I was able to do it and without any regard for the compensation which I received for it. 1 saved money”, ‘said Mr. Vauclain. Mr. Vauclain is a very wealthy man because he saved money and did not spend it “having a good time”, about all the time. He work- ed steadily, doing his best and SAVED MONEY! The great major- ity, mear all of our people are poor, very poor because they do not save money. They simply must have, about all the time, “a good time”. Mang do not work steadily; will not do 20. They join from two or three to a half dozen lodges in addition to « chureb, and the social demands of ese help them very materially to get rid of the small sums they earn as the result of their work. Every year, in the summer season our peo- ple squander hundreds of thousands of hard-earned dollars that many of them suffer for the use of in the win- ter’ season, attending conventions in distant cities, attending funerals of distant relatives hundreds of miles away, and taking auto trips. They act like wealthy people when it comes to such things, “having a good time”. Every Sunday, in our larger cities one can see them parading the public streets, behind a band or two, dressed up in a couple of hundred dollars worth of uniforms, plumes, etc, when many of them owe house- rent, grocery bills, etc. Of course, it is one form of ignorance or an- other, and yet no one tries to tell them how to live differently; to work steadily and SAVE! Our ministry, which is continually telling them to prepare to die, ought also to be tell- ing them how to save, live different. ly and better, more economically. ‘Thousands of our people own autos for pleasure only who do not own homes or even garages for their cars. ‘They are, and this is more than the rule, completely obsessed with the idea of “a good time”. Too much church, lodge, good time, dressing and eating are keeping the great mass of our people poor, very poor indeed. Mr. Vauclain has told them in a few words how to change this heart-rending condition if they will but heed and our ministry and press ean do much, very much, to awaken determination upon the part of many thousands to work steadily, do. ing their best all the time, and SAVE! “THE ROARING THIRD", Immoral and other conditions in the third precinct (wards 11 and 12) of this city are again so very bad, and notorious, that it is referred to precinct of Capt. Andrew Hagan, one of the most intelligent and best of- far flung station.” the woods” is located in the outlying @ post at “the roaring third” precinct is even less desirable and greater punishment than being ordered to “a last week, in connection with Capt. torney and has been admitted to the bar, IS a good officer, Friend Barry, the fact to the satisfaction of all GENTSCH’S IMPLIED THREAT! By all odds the most important statement, from our (racial) stand- point, made in that Sunday afternoon meeting of Wade allotment property owners, and published in Monday ‘morning's local dally newspapers, was that of Attorney Frank Gentsch when he ‘declared that Dr. Garvin should be told that he would never be al- lowed to live in the Wade Park al- lotment”. It is the one statement, made in the meeting, that should have been replied to by our people in no unmistakable way in the same pa- pers on Twesday morning, as we re- peatedly urged, Monday. It was an implied threat, pure and simple, and intended to be such, doubtless with the idea that it would scare Dr. Gar- vin and others of our people in thts city. Tuesday morning, Gentsch and this community should have been no- tified by our people that that sort of talk but encourages lawlessness— destruction of private property and mob violence with the probability of retaliation which would undoubtedly mean that others than Dr. Garvin and our people might not be “allow- ed to live in the Wade Park allot- ment”. It was a most unfortunate statement, a dangerous statement, which Monday morning's daily news- papers ought never to have publish- ed. It bas already had a bad effect upon many of both classes of people in this community. It could not be otherwise, The U. 8. Supreme Court’s decision in the Louisville, Ky., resi- dential segregation case, several years ago, was against such segregation and as an attorney Frank Gentsch ought not only to know but as a g00d citizen accept it gracefully. Whether he wants to or not, he will have to do so in the end. HELP US, CAPTAIN HAGAN! Cleveland, Sept. 18, '25. Capt. Andrew Hagan, Third Pre. Police Station, E. 37th and Woodland Ave., City.

Some of the members feel that he should have remained in charge of Mt. Zion, at least until the time he came into their new place of worship. Three shots fired by a policeman, last Sunday night, struck James Williams age 25, after he refused to stop at the policeman's command. One of the bullets, through his chest, probably will cause his death, it was said at Lakeside hospital. Patrolman Elwood Dunn was in a police car on Lakeside Ave., when he saw two men run from a house at 2444 Lakeside Ave. One of them, Williams, was pursuing the other with an open razor, Dunn said. When Dunn called upon Williams to halt he started towards the patrolman, Dunn reported, "I had not had a fight and he flew. Dunn fired two more shots, one striking Williams in the hip and the other piercing his chest. It would be interesting to know how the officer could shoot him in the chest when Williams was running from him.

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 zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present 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 introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the citizens in this city into four, 100-stricting white and black 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 segregated by Republicans, and was segregated to its all-embracing extent by Republican 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 papers, is tenacious on hold to on our Republican President. Only last week, a colored 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 Col. President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregated schools, 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 cafeteria 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 were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reject that they are far capable 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 neglects 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. There is the neglect of segregation and segregation is even attempted 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 postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, to ask for the office to 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 with him, one after another, though many of the cooped employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his deditions 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 huge structure in which the employees may go but there are the employees may 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 passes 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 restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, fell the incipient of a man 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 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 dismiss the right-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident 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 falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted the building afire for which he was immediately dismissed. 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 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 dental that the conditions complained of exacerbate my symptoms in 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, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 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 will settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The jazette) (Spectator 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 young colored women who lost their husbands result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member 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 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 loc a 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 dis o u r a g e d, 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. Ossei was to attack White House and Cabinet 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 segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau a lt to together. 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 public. They are GATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and 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 them are the men in their positions, the inevitable result of segregation. 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 The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the hands of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history are 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, 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 leases the numbers less, the numbers are less, necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarces there that they can't 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 lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical abuse and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent Pe-runa is backed by the verdict of two generations, more than fifty years of success. SOLD EVERYWHERE TABLETS or LIQUID cafeteria, 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 creates a creature two thousand dinns 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 in being too close to opportunities in the 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 register of the treasury and 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 the thought to public hearings, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. 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, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14.
