Meanwhile the oil evaporates and becomes gummy, tiny dirt particles sift in, even through the most tightly fitting case, and eventually the timekeeping performance of the watch is impaired.

At the forty-second annual convention of the State Federation of Labor, recently held in this city, President John P.

It is put into their minds that we do not take them into our Trade Union Movement, or, if we are compelled to do that, that we treat them with indifference and keep them to one side. There is no group of workers in this country occupying a more unfortunate position than those of colored skins, whose hearts and whose ideals and ambitions are the same as our own. I have been familiar with organized wage earners, and I want to say to you that not only in the conduct of this organization, but in every other particular, I know of no more loyal Trade Unionism than the representatives of that race. We think about the situation they occupy by a common citizen. They are welcome to a part of our Trade Union Movement as any other. If there is a movement in this country which has done something more than all others to bring about the transpirit of Americanization, it is this Trade Union Movement of ours. We have done more to bring about the belief that every man is entitled to the same consideration as any other man than any institution in the United States." work: Wilberforce loses one of her greatest all-around athletes.

Two other important events that should bring out the best athletes in the country will be the national A. A. U. 10-mile and seven-mile walk championships. An invitation will be extended R. Earl Johnson of the Edgar Thomson Steel works, Pittsburgh, to compete in the 10-mile run, and Willie Ritola of the Finnish club will no doubt participate in that event. PREJUDICE. Prejudice is a pernicious product of a deficient information, in combination with excessive illogic. It judges and condemns in advance of facts and prostitutes principle to passion. It consciously inerminates others and unconsciously inculpates one self and thus wields the double edged weapon of a two-fold curse. It sows animosity and antagonism where patriotism and plenty require amity and co-operation. If you are a good Christian, Jew, or American, you must supplant prejudice with justice, first in yourself and then in others. Judge no group by one of its individuals or any individual before you are properly informed. If you find a man really not as he ought to be don't straightway damn him and all of his color, country, or creed. Rather be sufficient of a good Christian, Jew, or American to aid him with your example and influence to become what he should. To be prejudiced is to be primitive and pernicious.

HAGAN IN WAR ON KNIFE - TOTERS Police Captain Orders, Arrest of Persons Carrying "Folding Daggers" in His District, Wards 11 and 12. Large-size pocket knives with blades big enough to kill a steer, popular among dealers of the Woodland Central-Snowill Ave. district, according to Police Captain Andrew Hagan, of the E. 27th St. and Orange Ave. station, are to be considered by his patrolmen hereforth as concealed weapons. Every man found with one of the objectionable knives on his person, Hagan ordered, Saturday, is to be placed under arrest and handed into court. "Blocks of people. I find, are runners around hope carrying these folding daggers with impunity, he declared that they are knives are folding daggers. I'm certain that most of the cuttings in this present may be traced back to the authorities." Hagan transferred to the district from the E. I. Polish St. and guarded New York to drive him an opportunity to get the action he wants. Safety Director Harry potoje has accepted the challenge with this order directed by himself. Hagan not only ordered that the knife-carriers be picked up, but pawn brokers and other merchants in the district selling such "weapons" he told to remove them from their display windows and counters. Hagan is of the belief that the knives are being carried as easy substitutes for actual weapons by thugs who infest the district. The knives against which his drive is aimed are equipped, he said, with a spike that by simple pressure of a finger brings a long sharpoined blade into action as quickly as a man could draw a dagger from a sheath. They are used in preference to daggers and stilettoes. Hagan said, because those who carry them think they can avoid arrest on a criminal charge. Cleveland Daily News. (AP) Our People of Staten Island Have a Light on Their Hand—To Back Up Postman Browne. New York City. A branch of the N. A. A. C. P was formed on Staten Island, Sept. 27, and a resolution passed that it stand solidly behind Samuel A. Browne, postman, in his fight against mob attempts to enforce residential segregation. A substantial sam was raised to help Mr. Browne. On arriving at the meeting place, Robert W. Bagnall, N. A. A. C. P, director of branches, found a detachment of police outside, and one or two officers in the hall. Wild rumors had been circulated, that the meeting was to be of an incendiary nature and that a disturbance might occur. After observing the orderly nature of the meeting, and hearing an account of the event and purpose of the N. A. A. C. P, the police quickly left, Mr. Bagnall stated in his address that the organization stood always for law and order, but urged every Negro to stand for his full rights and if necessary, defend himself and his home against mobs. "Whites might as well realize that the Negro of today will not surrender a single right and can not be intimidated by threats or violence," said Mr. Bagnall. "He will live wherever he is able to buy and thinks desirable, not because his neighbors happen to be white people, but because he seeks more pleasant living conditions. Stand behind the fight which Mr. Browne is making, for he is fighting for you all. When discrimination against one Negro is frustrated, it discourages similar attempts against others." Leading Afro-Americans of Staten Island were elected officers of the new branch. The president, Wm. Morris, conducts the leading trucking business of the Island. James Henry, vice-president, is a teacher in the schools of the Island. Mrs. Druilla Poole, secretary, is the wife of the owner of the leading taxi cab business on the island, and Wm. Dunjhu, treas, is highly respected. Bandit Shot to Death! Baltimore. Md. — Harry Ovitz. (white), was killed, last week Tuesday, after an attempt to rob the Broadway Savings Bank. this city.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ACTED LIKE REAL SAVAGES WHITE BARBARIANS THIRST FOR HUMAN BEING'S BLOOD. Lynch-Murderers in the South Hungry for the Smell of Scorching Flesh Burn a Man at the Stake and Then Seek Food— How One White Man Viewed the Mob at Work By J. L. Rouhne. In the Memphis, Tenn. Saint Louis. I watched a Negro burned at the stake at Rocky Ford, Miss. Sunday afternoon. I watched an angry mob chain him to an iron stake. I watched their pile wood around his helpless body. I watched them pour gasoline on this wood. And I watched three men set this wood on fire. I stood in a crowd of 600 people as the flames gradually crept nearer and nearer to the helpless Negro. I watched the blaze climb higher and higher, encircling him without mercy. I heard his cry of agony as the flames reached him and set his clothing on fire. "Oh, God! oh, God!" he shouted. "I didn't do it. Have mercy!" The blaze leaped higher. The Negro struggled. He kicked the chain loose from his ankles but it held his waist and gork against the iron post that was becoming red with the intense heat. "Have mercy, I didn't do it. I didn't do it." he shouted again. Lunch-Murders. Admunt. Nowhere was there a sign of mercy among the members of the mob, nor did they seem to regret the horrible thing they had done. The Negro had supposedly sinned against their race, and he died a death of torture. Soon he became quiet. There was no doubt that he was dead. The flames jumped and leaped above his head. An odor of burning flesh reached my nostrils. I felt suddenly sickened. Through the leaping blaze I could see the Negro sanguine and supported by the chains. The setting was a thick, well-paved courtyard on a huge pile of asphalt, but the Negro's death pyre was in a small gulley beside it. They calmly watched the flames leap and dance. There was no talking now, everything was silent. When the first odor of the baking flesh reached the mob there was a slight stir. Several men moved nervously. "Let's finish it up," some one said. Odor of Baking Human Flesh Makes Them Hungry! Instantly about twelve men stepped from the crowd. They piled wood on the fire that was already blazing high. The Negro was dead, but more wood was piled on the flames. They jumped higher and LET'S QUIT RUNNING When Dr. Turner's home was attacked by a mob of whites in Detroit several months ago, he was asked by Mayor Smith if he cared to remain on the premises, or would he accede to the will of the mob and decamp. He was further informed that should he continue to occupy his house he would be protected by the city of Detroit, even if it were necessary to detail the entire police resources on the property. But Dr. Turner moved. The mob had won and it knew it. Today Detroit is preparing to prosecute Dr. Ossian Sweet, his wife and nine of their friends for firing into another mob that was threatening to destroy his home as it had done Dr. Turner's. Dr. Turner is, perhaps, congratulating himself that he escaped such a fate. But in the eyes of other Detroit citizens and members of Dr. Turner's race throughout the country he has done nothing of which he may boast. Had he remained in his home after he had purchased it—had he accepted the protection of the police and defied the mob—it is unlikely that Dr. Sweet and his family would have had to face one. A mob is a cowardly thing. It is deathly afraid of determined resistance. When white people, or any other kind of people, band themselves together for the purpose of taking the law into their own hands, they do not anticipate resistance. This was shown in Chicago when a group of like cowards told Jesse Binga that, he would not occupy his beautiful home on South parkway. But he is there today, in spite of the many bombings his home has suffered. Not only is Jesse Binga on South parkway, but there are others of our race living now in any neighborhood where they can afford to purchase property. Mr. Binga, more than any other person in Chicago, has made that possible. Had he been frightened by the rabble, others would have suffered a like fate. IN-UNION IT IS STRONGER LE COPY FIVE CENTS NEER? REAL SAVAGES IS THIRST FOR HUMAN BLOOD. The South Hungry for the Flesh Burn a Man at Then Seek Food— White Man Viewed higher. Nothing could be seen now for the blaze encircling everything. Then the crowd walked away. In the vanguard of the mob I noticed a woman. She seemed to be rather young, yet it is hard to tell about women of her type; strong and healthy, apparently a woman of the country. She walked with a firm, even stride. She was beautiful, in a way. "I'm hungry" some one complained. "Let's get something to eat." "I'm hungry, too," said another. The Cause of It All. A white girl was criminally assaulted in a pea field. Friday morning, by an unknown Negro. He escaped with a bullet in hisPOSE and captured L. Q. Ivy, who denied having anything to do with the attack. He was taken to Tupelo for safekeeping. Rocky Ford citizens went into court and obtained a writ forcing the sheriff to return the Negro to New Albany for identification. In a few Albany hospital the girl was asked to identify the Negro Sunday morning. She was not sure, but thought he looked like the one who had attacked her. Then the officers started to take him out of town. Crowds filled the streets. The officers started out the Myrtle road. The mob jumped in their cars and followed. At a bridge on attempt was made to block the road, but it failed. The officers' car sped on. Just outside the city limits of Myrtle the officers found two men. One was forced to stop. A mob surrounded them. Several pistols were drawn, but no shots were fired. The caravan of cars started toward Rocky Ford. At Rocky Ford they took the Negro to a deserted barn, where he was asked to confess. He refused because he was innocent. He was beaten, suspended from a rafter by the neck and mutilated with fire and knives, but he still maintained his innocence. The mob took him to the sawmill. While men were driving the iron post in the ground to which, he was taken to the top of the sawdust pile, where he stood with his head bent and prayed. Then he was chained to the stake and the fire lighted. He screamed twice, denying guilt, and then he was silent. In New York a mob attacked the home of Samuel O. Browne, a postman. Mr. Browne is still occupying his home and his next door neighbor, one of the mob, is under indictment for conspiracy. In time other neighbors of Mr. Browne will decide that it is far better that they attend their own business than spend time in a government corrective institution. Cleveland is up in the air because Dr. Garvin is building a home in a so-called exclusive neighborhood. He will never occupy it, declare his neighbors. Dr. Garvin says nothing, but the construction of the house goes merrily on. When it is completed, we have no doubt that Dr. Garvin will occupy it and that legal persuasion will keep his neighbors from moving in with him. And why shouldn't these people move into any neighborhood? Dr. Turner and his wife are prominent people. They are cultured, above the average in intelligence and well to do. Dr. Sweet has recently returned from Vienna and Paris, where he studied medicine under the greatest minds of the old world. His wife is an accomplished musician, having also studied abroad. Jesse Binga is a banker and real estate operator, whose business acumen is recognized by Chicago's best. Dr. Garvin is respected in the leading medical fields of Cleveland. Mr. Browne and his wife, a public school-teacher, have always lived in exclusive neighborhoods. There can then be no complaint against them personally. If, by moving into better neighborhoods, these people are adding to their lives, as Americans, they are justified in doin ggo. But if after buying this property they allow themselves to be chased out by an unreasoning mob, they are doing more harm than they could by any other move. We have run from people who didn't want us for 60 years—let's quit it—we can do no worse! Chicago Defender. --- SMOKE THIS CIGAR, MR. COOPER, AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME TILL SISTER AND I GET DRESSED!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1925. Dr. Chas, H.

Captain Andrew Hagan has made a splendid start—in the third police precinct, wards 11 and 12. Not only against "knife-toters" and those who sell the "young dirks" out also in the matter of furnishing better police protection. One can now meet a policeman occasionally after 11 p. m. --- Through the efforts of the Fort Wayne, Indiana, branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Hiram Altman, a Georgia white brute, formerly employed as a detective by the Nickel Plate Ry. has been sentenced to serve six months on the state penal farm and was fined $500 for flogging and shooting Hazel Harris, an Afro-American, on May 11, '25. Splendid work! Dr. B. H. Lawrence, of 1592 E. 117th St., reported to police, last week Friday night, that four kluxers, fully robed, walked up and down in front of his house, several times, that evening. When a police squad responded it found "K. K. K. Howare!" chalked on the front steps. Three of the kluxers wore white robes and the fourth a black robe, occupants of the house said, and one of them wrote the letters on the steps. Get ready for the next call, Doctor—if there should be another. A U. S. army riot gun is the best thing to have in the home, for all such "visitors". Be prepared to protect your home and family. "THE EMPEROR JONES". Clippings testifying to the London triumph of Paul Robeson in Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones", have reached this country and have been made public. Wherever it is seen, the play lowers the status of "Negroes" in the estimation of whites. Robeson is evidently worthy of a better vehicle in which to display has exceptional physique, voice and dramatic talent. The London, England, Standard said: "The Emperor himself is Mr. Paul Robeson, a Negro actor of immense height and capability. His rich rolling voice, his changes from real dignity to childish fright, his attempts at self-encouragement, and his true tragic powers at the end make a visit to this curious play an experience of value." "Curious" to Englishmen but theroly understood by intelligent, loyal and sensible or rather sane Afro-Americans. "JIM CROWING" THEMSELVES! Fred W. Ramsey, president of the Welfare Federation, speaking, last week, at the Salvation Army Mary B. Talbert home, a segregated institution for our unfortunate girls only, at 2215 E. 40th St., said: "The Salvation Army always stands at the point of greatest need, never refusing to serve even in obscurity". This has not always been true here in Cleveland, although the Salvation Army Rescue home in Kinsman road did make "good", along this line, until in recent weeks when our Council of Women allowed itself to be "used" by prejudiced THE GEEVUM GIRLS whites who were determined to stop the very satisfactory association of our unfortunate girls and those of other groups at that home. And they have succeeded in doing so, with the assistance of our Council of Women which has "equipped" but does not direct the affairs of the new home—a "jim crow" institution run by the Salvation Army as a "black tail" to its now white Kinsman-road-"kite". The local daily papers announced, last week, that: "Mrs. Beulah Shaw, president of the new home, will be in charge of Adjutant Artimeza Ward" (white). Negroes from the South have continued to encourage this very thing until local hospitals and other public and quasi-public places and institutions, even jails, are segregating "Negroes". The fight for residential segregation is on in this community. Next will come a fight on our "mixed" public schools with their seventy Afro-American teachers. Indeed, an entering wedge for this has already been started at E. 40th St. and Central Ave., and at Outwista "public" schools. What has become of our local Federation of Women's clubs and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P.? Can it be that they are not interested? Somebody or something ought to awaken our people of this community, before it is too late. THE DEFENDER WRONG. Week before last, a Detroit daily paper said: "On June 22, '25, the house of Dr. A. L. Turner was invaded by a mob which loaded his furniture on vans and returned it to his old house." This was after the new home of the Doctor had been stoned, windows broken and other harm done the property. Where was the "protection" the mayor of that city "promised," according to the Chicago Defender? What was our people of Detroit doing that they failed to give Dr. Turner and his family the assistance rendered Dr. Sweet and his family? It seems to us that about the only criticism to be passed on Dr. Turner is that he failed to provide his new home with the "protection" he should have had or that he failed to use it if he had it. THE GROVES ESTATE Cannot Be Divided—No Quarreling or Bickering Allowed on it—The U. S.'s Potato King Wise as Well as Successful—Some Will. Wichita, Kans.—According to the will of Junius Groves, the U. S.'s potato king and a member of the race, which was filed for probate in the Wyandotte County court, recently, an estate valued at $500,000 and consisting of 400 acres of land in Wyandotte county, is 1200 acres in western Kansas, is not to be divided, but left intact as is the Junius G. Groves estate. Children Must Work. Children Must Work. His children are to receive from the estate according with the work they do on the land. The eight sons are each to till divisions of the land, plant produce and to provide for themselves and families. The three daughters are to receive an eleventh share from the estate annually but are not to bring husbands to live and reap benefits from the land. His wife, Matilda E. Groves, and C. Brokaw, a banker, are designated authorities of the estate. The widow, the will states, is not to labor on the farm, but shall share in the annual proceeds. There shall be no discord or family troubles on any part of the land, the will warns. In the event of discords, if the trouble maker be a wife of one of the sons, she shall be requested to leave her home. Groves is to continue indefinitely in the Groves family, to be tilled and worked as long as there are generations of the Groves family. One Money Bequest The only money bequest is $25 to Courtney O. Groves, whom the will designates the "alleged daughter of Charley A. Groves, a son, who recently died." The children are Walter P. Groves, Fred E. Groves, Ora A. Groves, Ida Mae Wood, Lillian A. Lewis, Edna E. Fleming, Junius O. Groves, Jr., Sylvester J. Groves, John A. Groves, Cornellus V. Groves, and Theodore W. Groves.

POLE HOME OF BIRDS PRESERVED TO THEM Kind Hearts of Telephone Linemen Respond to Twittering Cries Lineman, spare that pole, Touch not its rotted base, Inside there is a hole, My home, you might erase. Telephone linemen are famous for their kind hearts. Whether it is because of their calling or whether it comes from the fact their calling keeps them so close to nature and the great outdoors, it is true that a telephone lineman would walk ten miles before willful harming one of the lesser beings. This was demonstrated not so long ago over Coshoton way. The Ohio Bell Telephone Company had decided to abandon an aged pole and a crew was sent to the scene. Arriving there the men found that two little yellow hammers had made a home near the top of the pole. The birds, greatly alarmed, broke into furious twitterers, which brought a neighbor woman to the spot. She told the linemen the story of the birds, saying they had lived in the pole for five years. Company orders said the pole must come down and the order had to be obeyed. Heart orders said the home of the birds must be saved. A compromise was struck. The linemen cut down the pole. Then they sawed off the end, which contained the birds' home. A new pole was placed and to it was nailed the piece of old pole in which the nest was located. Although the birds were scared away at the time, a week later they returned and today the birds are living in their old home, happy and contented, but no happier or any more contented than the crew of Ohio Bell linemen, who have a spot in their hearts for even the birds of the air. There were during the year 1924, 350,000 men and women engaged in the telephone industry in this country, to say nothing of the thousands of others engaged in manufacturing apparatus, equipment, supplies, etc., to be used in this great industry. Last year, 1924, was a buy one in the manufacture of desk telephones. During that time 1,233,000 of the familiar instruments were made by the Western Electric Co. NOTED INDIAN DR.

We really would like to know if our friend is correct. To what group does Koblitz belong? TOO MANY "GOOD TIMES" In a speech to 700 pioneer workers in Duluth, Minn. industries, last week Wednesday evening. Samuel Vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, said he accumulated money because he was too busy to spend what he earned. "If you take-too much time off to spend your earnings you can't accumulate, and it is intended for one to accumulate. I early recognized the it was your misunderstand and my duty of the work which came 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. I 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 worked steadily, doing his best and SAVED MONEY! The great majority, near all of our people are poor, very poor because they do not save, about all of our people are poor, about all the time, "a good time. Many do not work steadily; will not do so. They join from two or three to a half dozen lodges in addition to a church, and the social demands of these 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 people squander hundreds of thousands of hard-earned dollars that many of them spend on their vacation, 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, and attending a concert etc., when many of them house-rent, grocery bills, etc. Of course, it is one form of ignorance or another, and yet no one tries to tell them how to live differently; to work CALL.

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 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 it has 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 on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a pass of the civil appeared after having passed the best examination, 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 Mullon and President Coolidge. North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and the segregation force, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, will 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 lunches and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring 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. I'll more when they are freed than they 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 and even the toilet is enforced 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 clerked clers. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, because he was as 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 position to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the 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 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.) (Special to the Gazette.) Washington, D. C. The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal schism of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our officers 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 where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-box section of the building. Employees 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, elsewhere, the vice director passes 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, felt the injustice of the company 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 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, dance instructor, and 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 one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. His 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 condition of of expulsion requires for the name 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, OCTOBER 10, 1925. that it cannot take up the case. I is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government so well settled upon it, and the constituents cannot hear witness to it. (Special to The jazette) (Spectator to THE Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the field of grazing and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroes young colored women who lost their positions as a 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 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 discouraged, 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 was the candidate, and 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 segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait toogether. 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 Doug g has helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SECRET, the party that they are working and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high and 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 the inferior role, because 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 ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and was a military 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 know 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, Mr. Blair is the department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Net Negroes are so scarce 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—the segregated clerks are forced to endure the enforcement at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent 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 surrounds two thousand diners 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 rejoice in a dilemma facing us. Our clerks must accept segregation 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 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 upon account of the thought to public The words, 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 War Department. Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O.
