"AS YE SOW, SO SHALL YE REAP"!
A Member of the British Parliament Challenges "White Supremacy"—South Africa "On Fire" Fool Legislation, the Cause.
FRESH OHIO NEWS
London, Eng.—An article published, recently, in English newspapers by the Right Hon. Phillip Snowden, member of parliament, changes world-domination by white people and asserts that the idea of "white supremacy" is having to be abandoned by the nation. "The old idea of the right of a people with a higher civilization and with a more advanced economic development to dominate the rest of the world will have to be frankly abandoned. It is being abandoned! The constitution of the League of Nations is an outstanding instance of the human rights of the race and size, nations are admitted to the League on terms of equality. If it were sought to maintain the domination of the white races over the colored by force, the effort would be bound to fall in the long run. It is just a question of numbers. It is, for example, that the six out of every seven people in the British Empire, are colored. . . If the principle of 'numbers' or 'counting heads' is accepted as the form of government, then there is no escaping from the fact, unpalatable is it may be to the white races, that in international government the future of the world rests with the colored ones. Mr. Snowden asserts that the outcome of the readjustment depends on the attitude taken by the white

"This grave problem" concludes Mr. Shawden, "with its possible menace, will be solved if it be recognized that 'all men are equal born'; and that, just as Lincoln so said, that no man was ever good enough to govern another without his consent. So no race has the right to condemn another race to a position of permanent inferiority."

THE LABORERS' STRIKE!
RUSSELL PROTESTS HONOR TO SHERRILL!
"One White Man in a Million" Tells Chamber of Commerce at the Nation's Capital Some Plain Truths and Resigns From it.
Washington, D. C.—Charles Edward Russell, member of the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., recently resigned from the chamber of commerce of this city because of a testimonial dinner it was planned to give, Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds in the national capital, who
Prof. Neval H. Thomas.
has done his utmost to promote segregation. Mr. Russell had been invited to speak at the testimonial dinner. He consulted Prof. Neval H. Thomas president of the University of C. A. Clyde C. McDuffee and Capt. Harry Atwood, all of Dunbar High school, and he gave him such particulars as to Col. Sherrill's activities here that Mr. Russell decided to resign from the university to serve as navigator to Sherrill. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Russell says in part:
"Col. Sherrill, by his deliberate course of contemptuous injustice toward the colored people of this city, took himself out of the category of public servants that merit any aplaeuse from their follow men. Legally, the point of social welfare, the colored people are entitled to every right and privilege accorded to the white. Col. Sherrill's defiance of this fundamental truth was so fragrant and therefore so injurious to the best interests of the community that I think the Washington chamber of commerce might be better engaged than in showing him how to be a good friend in lock, clack, be glad to think, that the chamber is unaware of the intolerable insult he put upon the colored people at the dedication of the Lincoln memorial, of the means by which he deprived colored people of a bathing beach while providing one for the white, of the gafutous affront comprised in the insolent signs that segregated the colored people of the notoriously unfair treatment of colored people that he enforced at the cafes in the public government buildings under his control. Your action in paying him this honor can be construed only as an endorsement of his course. It is not possible for me to retain membership in a body so oblivious to the foundation essentials of justice and equality that I cannot present my check for membership due to July 1, 1926, and my resignation here-with."

The average rate for 33 of the principal cities in the United States for common labor is 62% c, and the present Cleveland rate is 40% c. The rate the laborers and is 61% higher than the average rate paid for similar work in the United States. The rate for common laborers in Cleveland has advanced 218% since 1914, while the cost of living has advanced only 82% c. The rate demanded would be an increase of 262% over the same period. The average rate paid labor in Cleveland factories is between 44 and 45c. There is and has been a 60% increase of common labor in Cleveland. The Department of Industrial Relations shows that for the week ending Feb. 20th, 1926, there were 2,633 applications for work from unskilled workers. Of this number jobs could be found for only 630. Building permits for Cleveland and vicinity for last December and January are $2,825,000 less than permits for the same period one year ago. A check-up of the jobs this morning indicates that the laborers of the jobs that are unreasonable, unwarranted and unjustifiable demands are not supported by the rank and file of the labor organizations.

HERE'S TIGER FLOWERS, WHO BEAT HARRY GREB FRIDAY AND WON 160-POUND TITLE

"TIGER" THE NEW CHAMP.
New York City—Harry Greb reached the end of the long, long boxing trail, last week Friday night. The marvel man of modern boxing lost the middleweight championship of the world to Theodore "Tiger" Flowers of Atlanta, known to the fight game as "the Georgia deacon", "Tiger" is the only Afro-American ever to win the title, and won it after only fifteen rounds of fighting, in the new Madison Square Garden, while the majority of near 17,000 spectators looked on in amazement. Greb did not fight clean and fair, either, but had "Tiger" complaining, repeatedly, to the referee, "Gunboat", Smith, the old time fighter who refuted him the first time he showed prejudice in other ways. But Flowers trimmed his man just the same, as he usually does. His weight was 158 1/2 lbs., while Greb was a pound heavier. "Tiger" is given credit by some newspaper-writers with having won seven rounds, Greb ix, with two a draw, but others credit him with winning more. The contest was to see the battle. The judges, Chas, F. Mathison and Thos. Flynn, without any hesitation, awarded the contest to "Tiger". Greb was champ, three years.
Something of Flowers' Career.
Something of Flowers' Career.
Flowers has won the middleweight title after eight years of ring battles. He started boxing back in 1918 when he was 23 years old. He was 29 years old in 1924, the "Tiger" picked up that sobriquet along the pugilistic highway as a result of his style of fighting. In his career, he has engaged in more than 120 battles, winning ninety of them on decisions and by knockouts. His most severe setbacks were at the hands of Jack Delaney, Bridgeport light heavyweight, who knocked him out twice, in two and four rounds, in the first round, and regarded as a formidable contender for either the middleweight or light heavyweight title. He is now a much improved battler, and informed the N. Y. boxing commission that he will be ready to defend his new title within ninety days against any middleweight that it may select. It is said that Greb may ask "Tiger" for a return match. The latter's victory will not encourage Jack Dempsey and his prejudice following his victory over Joseph Wills-Dempsey contest in September because there will be another Afro-American champ (heavyweight) just so surely as they ever get in the ring together with the gloves on.
The Champ To Tour Europe.
At various times a porter, church steward, laborer, saxophone player and professional fighter, "Tiger" Flowers has made plans for what he described as his first vacation in eight years. He will tour Europe for two months, giving exhibitions with George Cook, a heavyweight, in Lon

don, Berlin, Edinburgh and Paris. Floated with messages of congratulations, offers to defend his title and moving picture opportunities, the conquerer of Harry Greb said he would first return to his home town, Brunswick, Ga., and left here, Tuesday. He will return to take the leading role as actor in a film story of his life, "The Fighting Deacon", before sailing for Europe in March. Walk Miller, a champion's lettered the statement that Flowers would defend his title, three months hence, under Tex Rickard's promotion against "the leading middle-weight challenger."
Greb to Get His Chance.
"We have already told Harry Greb that we will give him a chance to win back the crown," said Miller, "and if it is decided he is the leading challenger, "Tiger" will be glad to box him again. There will be other men considered, however. Dave Shade of California, and Mickey Walker, the wetterweight champion, will be counted in the running. Both would make great fights against the "Tiger." The bout will be staged in May, probably in an outdoor, long running competition, congratulations received by the first Afro-American to win a world-ring crown, since the days of Jack Johnson, was one from J. L. Andrews, mayor of Brunswick, Ga. It read: "We congratulate you on your victory and wish you continued success."
DOINGS OF THE RACE.
Lowery I. & I. school, Mayesville, S. C., has paid half of the $6,000 charge for its 200-acre farm purchased about a year ago.
The U. S. House of Representatives judiciary subcommittee has reported favorably (to the committee) the McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching bill.
Howard University, Washington, D. C., has dedicated its new $300,000 gymnasium-army building. Its new athletic field will be completed, this spring.
The Headeer Motor Car Co., Albany, Ga., is erecting its buildings. President L. A. Headen, a member of the race, is the inventor of a four-cylinder motor and went to Albany from Chicago.
Harry Wills Visits Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, Ark—Harry Wills, hallenger for Jack Dempsey's heavy-weight boxing crown, arrived here, Feb. 24, for two weeks' course of baths.
"I don't know anything more about my proposed bout with Dempsey, next September, but I did several months ago," Harry said.
"I hope the match will go thrush and when I get in the ring with Dempsey he will have to fight." You bet he will!

"The Old Reliable" Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Daily News for the splendid portrait of the new champion, Theodore ("Tiger") Flowers, given elsewhere in this paper.

The residential segregation law of Norfolk, Va., has been declared unconstitutional by a police justice of that city. This is in line with the U. S. Supreme Court decision in the Warley case of several years ago.
They are certainly "killing and cripping" again in the 11th and 12th wards, these days. The dedication exercises at the Central Ave. bathhouse, Tuesday, for the new "gym" and pool did not have any good effect on the "killing and cripping", tell City Manager Hopkins, Director Barry and Councilman Tom Fleming.
Just so long as President Coolidge permits his administration of governmental affairs to foster segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the service, our people can "take no stock" in his TALK against "race prejudice and class jealousies". The old saying anent "talk being cheap" certainly applies in his case when it comes to discussing "race prejudice and class jealousies". Just remember this, please.
Both Chief Graul and Director of Safety Barry declared that it was impossible to "enforce the blue laws in the third precinct because of the cosmopolitan population."
"The best the police can do is to hold them in and keep a check on them," Barry declared. "We can prevent the commercialization of vice in the district and that is about as far as we can go."—Cleveland Press, Tuesday.
We do not believe Graul and Barry ever made such an admission. It must be a "newspaper story," pure and simple.
"Tiger" Flowers' victory over Champion Middleweight Harry Greb, last week Friday night, did not strike any responsive feeling in the make-up of sport-writers of daily papers throut the country, it seems. This was very noticeable from the fact that there was a total absence of big black-letter headlines on the first page of their papers, as is the rule, announcing the result of the bout; and by a very general studied attempt to belittle "Tiger's" success, in every way they could, in their accounts of the battle. Too bad, isn't it? Many of the boys must have bet on Greb.
Police Commissioner McLaughlin of New York City says:
"While State Superintendent of Banks, I found it necessary to look with disfavor on granting applications to 'Negroes' to open banks in New York City, because there were too many professional men on the Board of Directors and not enough business men of standing."
This undoubtedly explains in large part why so many of our banks (in the South) have failed in the last year or two and also bears out The Gazette's contention that members of the race, who have never been business successes on their own account, should not be intrusted with other peoples' money in an effort to make money for them. This holds true in the case of banking and all other business enterprises.
The Right Honorable Philip Snowden, member of the English parliament, is telling a most disagreeable truth and in doing so is "throwing a monkey-wrench into the machinery" of the countries in the League of Nations as well as that of this country. Of course what he says will be most objectionable in America where the fool-prejudice against the yellow, brown and black races is most pronounced. But he is, nevertheless, rendering the world service it will some day appreciate. It is encouraging to note that at least
THE GEEVUM GIRLS
one statesman is big, broad and fearless enough to remind the white world that 'as ye sow, so shall ye rean.'
If ever both groups, classes or races of people in any community in this country received a lesson in manhood, one that they should ever remember, those in Washington, D.C., sure did get it, last week. Many years ago such men as Charles Edward Russell were produced in small numbers but not in the last twenty years, at least, have we ever before heard of one unless it be U. S. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker when fighting for "The Black Battalion", a battle that caused his political downfall and undoubtedly hastened his death. And what should be said of Prof. Neval H. Thomas, the irresponsible and indefatigable raceworker that brought about Mr. Russell's telling action? Really, we cannot find words sufficiently strong in which to utter our praise of him and the others who were with him when the visit to Mr. Russell was made. Read our Washington D. C. letter, elsewhere in this paper.
THE LABORERS' STRIKE.
The World War has been over for some years. Business generally has been at worse than a standstill for more than two years, the worst period of this depression being since the holidays. The great mass of the people, and this includes business men and women generally, since the greatest conflict of all time have not made and handled anything like the amount of money they made and handled during the World War. And yet organized labor has fought desperately to keep wages at the peak they reached during the war. Possibly the men cannot be wholly blamed for this, but what is to be said of an organization of laborers which is receiving the second highest rate paid common labor in this country going out on a strike for a higher rate at this particular time? And, too, just prior to the opening of spring work? Putting about the worst kind of a damper on employment of various kinds, and throwing many other workmen, many skilled workmen, too, out of work! It is to the everlasting credit of other local organizations of labor that they look with disfavor on this strike of some of the common laborers of this city. Some of these labor organizations feel that it was not started right because proper consideration for other organizations, effected directly by it, was not given. Others take the broad ground, indicated earlier in this article, that this is no time for a demand for an increase in rate of wages, particularly by workmen already the second highest paid in this country, and they are right. It looks very much to us as if some person of persons, who ought to know better and act differently, are "trying to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs".
KLUXERS' BLUFF CALLED
In An N. A. A. C. P. Meeting—They Attended 250 Strong, Too—Secretary Bagnall Tells Them “a Few”.
Akron, O. —Last week, at the Baptist church, a meeting of the local branch of the N. A. C. P. was held and it sure was some meet. The following is the report of it sent to national headquarters in N. Y. City by Robert W. Bagnall, director of N. A. A. C. P. branches:
“When we got to the church we found a body of 250 hard-looking whites sitting compactly together in a group and about 25 of our people sitting in the room. The last afterwards increased to about 70, and 4 or 5 of them came in and sat in the midst of the white group. When a soloist sang very creditably the whites applauded not a bit but sat grim and ugly. When the collection was taken, they gave nothing, not a penny. It was clear that our audience—was a unit of the klan. This we found out positively afterwards. It was up to me to tell them what they needed and believe me I did.”
Mr. Bagnall then reports what he told the Kluxers, which included pointed remarks on the fallacy of so-called "race superiority", the facts concerning segregation, the "Negro's" determination to tolerate what was impossible anything less than was guaranteed him by the Constitution and the laws of the land, and the absurdity of claims about "race purity". During his address, Mr. Bagnall reports that the kluxers "twisted and turned and gazed at each other, but stuck through the meeting. Dr. Kelly asked for members and actually canvassed among them the non joined, the arrested out in outside. I am told, they gave expression to how they felt about what was said."
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1926.
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 coming, and they are every year of universal discrimination, and are winning even social 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 not white." The 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 to all people, no longer race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve con tempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

In the absence, Sunday, of the rector, the Rev. W. B. Suthern, of St. Andrews Episcopal church, Ex-State Senator John P. Green, senior warden, had charge of the services, at the conclusion of which he delivered a 'stirring address, subject, in which he expressed his 'which so pleased the large congregation that many of them went forward to congratulate and thank him for it. They characterized the senator's address as being the finest they had ever
J. B.
heard him deliver and this community long as one of the best speakers in the city regardless of race or class. When it is remembered that Mr. Green, still a practicing attorney, is over eighty years of age, the exceptional impression he made on St. Andrews' congregation, Sunday, was all the more remarkable. Among those who heard the senator were Mrs. Alex Stanley, E. 84th St., and his sister, Miss Kittie S. Green, W. 99th St., long-time residents of Cleveland, who were, of course, in heart accord with the unanimous sentiment of the congregation as regards Mr. Green's address.
John is a little ten year old boy of the race. He has a cheerful disposition and is pleasant and co-operative. His mental test shows him to possess more than average intelligence. His mother died when he was seven years of age. For over a year his father boarded a nursing school and he did his job and was unable to support the child longer. The little fellow was paroled to the Humane Society by the Juvenile Court for placement in a boarding home. John has perfect health. He is, an attractive, dark, clear-skinned child; quiet and has good manners. Social workers feel that he should have the best home that can be found for him. He is a financial man if he can have chance. He is a good student in school and his teacher says that he has ability and gets along well with other boys. The Cleveland Humane Society, 106 City Hall, Cleveland, O., is seeking a high-grade free or adoptive home among our people for John, where he can have a good home and be engaged in the needs of the community to become a person. Persons interested are requested to write Miss Estelle home, home-finding dep't., Cleveland Humane Society, or call her at Main 4600.
Thousands of our people who never saw Emmanuel Ross, 18 year old lad, convicted slayer of Isadore Steeck, Central Ave. storekeeper, are petitioning Gov. A. V. Donahaye to have Ross' death sentence commuted to life imprisonment, according to Mrs. Cora West Robinson, president of our local Federation of Women's clubs. Organizations here and in Chicago, Rose West Robinson, are taking the appeal. They feel that as King Young, age 32, convicted accomplice of Ross in the murder, was the instigator of the crime and received life imprisonment, Ross should be given the same sentence. "I have received an affidavit from Ross' former employer in Chicago," Mrs. Robinson says. Ross was charge of a restaurant ad奸, handling from 1875 a night, and to be to be a good boy. His parents brought him up the best they could, and from the minister of the church he attended in Chicago we found that the boy was deeply religious. Hundreds of members of that church have sent me their signatures for the appeal to the governor," Ross' execution date is April 28. Soon a representative of the church will take the petition to the governor personally. Our local Elks' lodge, the Federation, advised to reopen the case in the court of appeals, Mrs. Robinson says, but it resorted to petitioning the government involve a large expense. 'Rah! error when it found an appeal case for the federation.

(Snerial to The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C.—In the posto.
fice segregation is rampant. The
faithful colored clerks work under
constant humiliation and physical
disadvantages. The department
maintains a spacious cafterla for
whites only, where these inferior
white clerks "can buy appetizing
Tuncheons and chat in comfort while
eating, while the colored clerks must
bring cold Juncheons from home and
eat them any place they can. The
physical discomfore, disadvantage-
ous ao it is, is far less galling to the
co.ored clerks than is the thought ot
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 reflect that they are far
more capable then the whites, and
render the government more intell!-
gent and efficient service—the white
Man of thelr attainment being able
to get far more lucrative employ-
ment.
‘The department goes even farther
im Its solicitude for whites and neg-
lect of colored. It maintains a well-
appointed club room with pool tables
and other games, comfortable
lounges and other equipment for
rest, sociability, and recreation, and
hothing for these same colored em-
Dloyees. ‘This private club is in the
magnificent postoffice building, built
and maintained by ALL of the peo-
ple. In the locker rooms there 1s
Segregation, and segregation is even
attempted in the tollets. And all of
this is against the most dependable
and faithful employees.
Last year the white employees
passed around invitations to the
white employees, in the very pree-
ence of the colored, to attend & re-
Seption to the heads of departments,
including the postmaster general, in
tie pestoflice building. It anuouncea
dancing and a pleasant social eve-
hing with the officials for “the post-
omtice employees,” yet not one was
delivered to the colored clerks. 4
hurried a protest to the postmaster
general the day before it was to
come oft, and ne ordered the post-
master to invite the culored as well
as the white. These clerks get
round their colored co-workers by
giving the function at a local hotel.
At is inevitable that the wicked
spirit of segregation would express
\welf in appointments, assignments,
and salaries. Colored appiicants are
often passed over though their ex-
amination was superior, No Negro,
however efficient or vld ia the serv-
ice, must ever dream of a promotion
toa 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
im the handing Of mail. The col-
ored clerks have dared to form 2
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 nas 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 skim.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C.—The govern-
‘ment printing office keeps faith with
the government's universal scheme of
segregauion. Some of the best and
brightest of our girls are forced to
accept inferer positions there on ac-
count of the better and more lacra-
five avenues of employment being
elosed to them because of their col-
or, ‘The whites are generally of a
very mediocre group, far from equal-
ing our girls in educational equip-
ment, culture, and working efficien-
cy. 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 1s a large cafeteria
im this huge structure where all of
the employees may go, Dut there are
a few tables in an ‘out-of-the-way
section reserved for our employees.
Tam glad to say that few, very few,
of our people patronize the place,
preferring @ little physical incon-
venience to the open, semi-public hu-
miliation of segregation.
In tollet 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 hara
caste that bars promotions. Here,
as elsewhere, the inferior whites
pass over our superior employees to
directive positions, and higher sal-
aries.
‘The whites have a large recrea-
donal center in this public building
with many fine appointments for
rest and amusements, Durng lunch
and dinner hours they repair to this
restful retreat for sociability and
dance. Last fall, a young Afro-
American with a splendid record in
his work, felt the injustice of this
exclusion of our employees 80 keenly
that he secured the company of a
young lady of the race to take part
in the dance. As soon as this coupie
slarted to dace the music was ab-
ruptly stopped, and the young man
reported for ‘attempting to take
part in an entertainment previded
for employees. He was called to the
office, lectured for being “one of
those suiurt Negroes” who believe in
“social equality,” and then dismiss-
ed on a trumped-up charge. He was
a night-employee, hence he carried
a pistol. Right after the dance in-
cident a fire broke out in the office.
He was quickly accused of setting
the building afire In revenge for his
exclusion from the dance floor. De-
tectives came to the building to ar-|
rest him, and failing to secure any
evidence searched him only to dis-
cover the pistol. They quickly drop-
ped the arson charge and substituted
one for carrying concealed weapons
tor which he was immediately dis-
missed. By this severe punishment
our employees are taught that there
is no Way of escape for one who
dares to resent the daily insults that
heir government (under President
Soolidge) gives them.
‘Many of the employees have ex-
pressed their deeply-wounded feel-
ngs to me at being considered a
ariah by the government Whose In-
titutions they are serving so faith-
‘uly, and I have taken up a number

Washington, D. C.—segregation
im the bureau of engraving and
printing has an interesting history
involving President Thomas Wood-
row Wilson and members ot his tam-
uy, three heroic young colored wom-
en’ who lost their positions as a re-
sult of their protest, and the noble
wife of Senator Robert La Follette,
Shortly after the accession ot Mr.
Wilson to the White House, a mem-
ver of is family visited the bureau
where she saw white and colored
gitls working together in perfect
uarmony, obiivious to any thought
of race. " Shortly thereafter came an
order for segregation of the races,
and a white lady who had been not-
ed tor her philanthropy among our
people and who was upon inumate
vermis at the White Housp appeared
at the bureau to tell of girls to be
contented with the new order as “a
teat Negro leader had taught col-
ored people to stay in their places.”
Three of the young ladies resisted
the order to the last ditch and were
summarily dismissed!
Senator La ¥ollette lodged a pro-
test with Secretary McAdoo to no
avail, and is noble wife began a
crusade against the undemocrauic in-
novation, She took the platform
here in Washington and Boston be-
tore the famous Twentieth Century
club, ‘She used the columns of we
Seuator’s magazine, sparing neither
space nor vigor of utterance. She
thundered against i in our local
white press, and addressed the na-
Uonal gatnering of the National As-
sociation for the Advancement of
Colorea 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,
tor democracy was at the crises. Us-
wald Garrison Villara came to town
to attack White House and Cabmet
and arouse our people, ana the Ne-
tion Association secured publicity in
over six hundred influential white
papers in the couniry. The fight
checked what was thought to be the
intention of the segregators, name-
ly, the elimination of the colored
employees trom the bureau alt o-
gether.
‘The same segregation which some
of our people tink is the cheristied
institution of the Democratic party
4s still there, in all of ito tuliness,
under the administration of te
party that Abrauam Lincoln, Charles
Sumner and Frederick Dou g1ass
helped to found. Our girls are em-
ployed there in far larger numbers
than in any other branch of the pub
Ne service. THEY ANE SLU

and working stations, and of course
Rone are ever thought of for promo-
tions to executive places. ‘They are
gtys from our best nomes. most of
them with high aag normal schoo!
training, and fine culture. The winite
girls ure of no such grade, as there
js mo segregation for them in the
great world of things. ‘They have
unlimited elds at high wage tor
even mediocre trtents, ‘The best of
our girls must take these inferior
positions, the inevitable result of se-
Eregation. Our people are still hop-
ing for the issuance of an order de-
stroying this iniquitous practice iu
all of our government departments,
for it not only humiliates the best
of the government servants but im-
Pairs the government service.
(Special to The Gazette)
Washington, D. C.—The treasury
department, according to the Presi-
dent's recent acceptance speech, 18
now under the ablest financial genius
since the days of Atexander Hamilton,
It Is to be remembered that the great
Hamilton came from the West In-
dies, and in that long sweep of his-
tory that the President traversed
are the mighty Salmon P. Chase,
secretary of tho treasury in Lin-
coln’s eabinet, who, in a national ex-
tremity such’ as this country has
never known, devised the national
banking system which financed the
Civil War; and Ohio's master finan-
eter, John Sherman. ‘These men
never knew what seiregation was!
‘The present head of the depart-
ment of interna! revenue, Mr. Blair
from North Carolina, has mot ap-
pointed & colored clerk since his tn-
cumbeney. While his predecessor,
Mr. Dantel Roper, 2 Democrat from
Texas, appointed and promoted sev-
eral ot them. Since the income tax
legislation and the numberless now
taxes that the recent war nacessi-
tated, this ts by far the largest de-
partment of the treasury, employing
Several thousand clerks. Yet Ne-
groes are sb scarce there that they
can’t be noticed. ‘There 1s the same
general complaint here among our
clerks and other employees as there
ts 1n the other branches of the gov-
ernment—failure to recognize their
efficiency when promotions are duc;
ability to go s0 tar and no farther.
‘The various forms of segregation
exist here as weil as elsewhere—the
restaurants closed or divided along
color lines, and special toilets, lock-
er rooms, rest rooms, etc, set off for,
colored. “The totlets for the colored
are few tn such a large structure.
Hence, the segregated clerks are
forced to endure physical inconven-|
lence at times, and are forced to,
travel long distances when they de-|
sire the use of them. The depart-|
ment maintains a huge. magnificent |
cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of
woodland along our national drive-
way, where white people of every
elass can come to rest, dine, and 50-|
stalize 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 resreat,” and the
festive scene that thelr presence
creates, It seats two thousand din-
ers with space to spare; but not one
Negro! His only share i in the
taxes he is forced to pay for this
luxury for another group!
‘The registershtp of the treasury,
which Republican Presidents have
given the Negro since Garfield ap-
pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now
filled by a white man, and the col-
ored poople are congregated in a sep-
arate room which 1s publicly pro-
claimed as “a colored division.”
When it Is discovered that Nogro
clerks are “working as white” in
other divisions, they are promptly
transfered to this “colored division.”
Our people fear that protest against
this segregation would result in the
abolition of the division altogether;
So they remain In a dilemna, fearing
to act. Our clerks must accept ae
Sregation or elimination, and being
poor, with no other opportunities in
thls southern atmosphere, must take
the former. They are depressed at
the wrong, but economic stress com-
pels endurance of it.
By a single stroke of his pen
President Calvin Coolidge can stot
every bit of this damnable segrega-
tion, Just as he can condemn tha
lawiess organization the Ku Kl

COOLIDGE’S
SEGREGATION
Washington, D, C_—We wish to call
attention to the fact that in the fight
against the segregation of our goy-
ernment employees, the ‘Treasury
Department will most likely be the
center of attack, for segregation in
several of its bureaus has been most
pronounced. This is particularly true
of the office of the register of the
treasury and the internal 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 Coolidge, .were
hardly cold before the effort to in-
crease segregation in the depart-
menta here was on again at full
speed. It had slowed up a little dur-
ing the campaign.
Investigation of Burcaus
An investigation of the executive
departments and bureaus listed be-
low shows that segregation prevails
in them as follows:
Office of the Register of the
‘Treasury, there are two segregated
sections—one with 30 Afro-Amer!-
gan employees and, the other with
4.
Navy Department — one _segre-
gated section of 18 of our employ-
eos, as well as a sogregated lunch
room,
Consus Bureau—a_ segregated
section of 60 Afro-American employ-
Bonus Section
Ronun section of the War Depart-
ment—one segregated section of 180
ot our employees.
Veterans Bureau—a segregated
section of 16 employees.

gated sectfon of 10 employees in the
file room.
