A mob of 50 white residents of Linden, Ala., which was torturing Tom Kimbrough, was put to rout by three armed Afro-Americans. The leader of the mob was killed! Our men, two of whom were Kimbrough's brothers, escaped in autos while a posse of 200 combed the woods for them. Kimbrough was accused of stealing some gasoline.

A NEWS SYMPOSIUM ON INDUSTRY FOR JUNE New York City, July 20, '26 Bulletin No. 4 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: Industry on a whole was static during June and the situation among Afro-Americans coincided with this general condition. Here and there fluctuations were recorded and a few outstanding events were reported in articles cited below are the principal reported deviations during the June: Atlanta, Ga.—This city provides the most glaring injustice reported because of the signing of a bill by Mayor Sims granting a minimum wage of $100 per month for all "white" skilled and semi-skilled city employees. Forty of our male employees of the city have petitioned the Committee on Church Cooperation in the Senate in their behalf for a higher wage. The men, fearing the loss of their jobs or other forms of intimidation, have used fictitious names and addresses. St. Louis, Mo.—A leather goods factory employed 125 of our girls in a new department. Then comes also this amusing statement: "With the coming of hot weather whites doing street work are being rapidly replaced by Negroes." —The American Radiator Company has promised to employ forty of our men in a new foundation to be opened in August. Detroit, Mich.—The steady inflow of Mexican common labor is disturbing the already unsettled conditions of this city. Prophesies as to its upward upon our labor are frequently made. Local population is 81,000. In 1920 it was 41,000. Raleigh, N. C.—A movement of labor toward new development sections of the state is noted and there is a report of a temporary movement to Washington, D. C. of bricklayers on account of large building programs there. New York City—The new Old Hotel is employing a small number of our people as doormen, bus boys, porters and cleaners. Efforts are being made to extend this employment to bell boys and waiters, but local opposition makes this improbable at present. San Antonio, Tex.—Our first orchestra to play at a white hostelry in San Antonio, Texas, is engaged in summer engagement at St. Anthony hotel. Alphonse Trent's orchestra has the contract. Jefferson City, Mo.—The first street contract to be awarded an Afro-American in this city has been granted Charles Marberry to grade a city stock. He employs our people for 100,000 for the summer. Minneapolis, Minn.—Our people were re-employed by the Minneapolis Street Railway Co. Maurice Rothschild's store has hired a maid and a night watchman of color. They are the first to be employed there. Milwaukee, Wisc.—Our musicians have been employed in resorts out of this city where previously white men were employed. They are "union men." Union Labor:—In New York City our motion picture operators, recently permitted to join the union, reported greatly increased wages. One operator, formerly employed at $45.00 a week for sixty-six hours work, now received $63.02 a week for thirty-five hours work ALICE SAILS, VOWS SHE AND "KIP" LOVE Mrs. Rhinelander Denies Expecting to Meet Her Husband Abroad, But They Will Meet, Just The Same. New York City—Mrs. Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, sailed for England, last Saturday, on the White Star liner Majestic protest-bundling love" for her husband but "denying that she expects to meet him." So long as I am Leonard's wife," said Mrs. Rhinelander, "I have no eyes for any one else. I love him and I feel that he loves me today just as much as he did six years ago. I'm going to meet my mother's parents and other relatives in England," she said. Alice traveled in style. She had a four-room suite on the Majestic, her "going-away outfit" cost several thousand dollars. And she took her mother with her. "I'm terribly happy," Mrs. Rhinelander said. "I've never been so happy in my life. I've always wanted to see my mother's people and she has lots of friends and relatives over there. We'll be gone until September." Alice expects to be free of newspaper reporters and photographers during her stay in England. She said she would be the same over there as they are here. Their ents came to America from England, many years ago. "I don't think they'll bother me at all in England and Paris," she concluded. Another 'Intensive Survey". Detroit, Mich—Ten thousand dollars has been appropriated, thru Mayor John W. Smith and the Detroit Community Fund, for an intensive survey of our local population for the purpose of developing a program for bettering relations between the races, which have become somewhat strained as the result of the "Sweet" case and the importation of Mexican laborers. The survey was begun, last week, under the Interracial Commission, of which Reinhold Niebuhr, is chairman. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ONE KICKED AND THEN SHOT TO DEATH THE PRIVATES OF THE 24TH U. S. INF. STILL DISARMED AT FT. BENNING, GA. And at the Mercy of Georgia's Brutal "Crackers"— Private Smith's Heartrending Case Carried to President Coolidge by the N. A. A. C. P. and Another Appeal Made for the Infantry's Removal—Nicklin! New York City.—A letter has been sent to President Coolidge by the N. A. A. C. P. in which the President is urged "first, that such steps as are possible be taken by you to bring adequate punishment of Fulbright, and, second, that the 24th Infantry be removed from Georgia to a more civilized community where decency and justice are more prevalent than appears to be the case at Amherst, the agency of education made these requests upon publication of an article in The Nation of July 14th, written by Captain Elbridge Colby, (white), who is stationed at Fort Benning, Ga. The letter cites "that on September 1st of last year a white lumberyard night watchman passed through the Negro section of Americas with his wife and child. None of them were captured or cocooned in any fashion, but this night watchman by the name of J. Fulbright, without cause" kicked Private Smith, known as one of the best behaved and best dressed men in the 24th Infantry. Before any threats or hostile gestures were made Fulbright drew his revolver and killed Private Smith in cold blood." The letter further points out that although Fulbright was indicted, charged with murder, he was not kept in jail. Three months later he was given a farcical criminal matter was injected into the case by the defense attorneys with the result that Fulbright was acquitted. The Association's letter ended in these words: "The N. A. A. C. P. submits a query, to you as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, if the uniform of the U. S. Army is of any avail in protecting a soldier of the U. S. if that soldier's skin is black and he happens to be in Georgia. We are convinced we are making no over statement when we assert that such an outrageous TWO INNOCENT MEN BOTH DIE IN JAIL! For the Murder of a White Man Killed by His Wife—Two Oth- ers Serving Life Sentences— Real Murderer, After Six Years, Revealed By a Death-Bed Confession. Montgomery, Ala.—Two guiltless colored men died in jail in Alabama, last year, and two others are serving life sentences for the murder of a white man six years ago, while the real murderer, the wife of the dead man, has just been revealed through the death-bed confession of her accomplice. The facts in this case were made available through information sent the C. C. by one of its agents in Alabama, and brought by special correspondence and Associated Press dispatches to the Daily Advertiser of this city. Six years ago, according to an affidavit made by Tressie McClendon, the mother of Otis McClendon, (white), the accomplice, and now in the possession of the sheriff of Gadsden, McClendon helped Mrs. Myrtle McClendon King of Guntersville kill her husband and hide his body in a cave. McClendon received a acres of land and two mules for his husband and two Negroes who were charged with the crime, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. On April 18, 1926, Otis McClendon while dying confessed to his mother his part in the murder. She made the affidavit which has led to the arrest of the murderer who married again shortly after her first husband was murdered. Otis McClendon, de claring that the woman had ruined his life, attempted to kill Clevie King, the new husband, but King fired first, his shots eventually caused the woman to be charged, but before he had confessed. Reports indicate that Mrs. McClendon-King is to be tried soon for the murder of her first husband, but no steps have been taken, so far as is known, to free the two innocent Negroes who are yet in prison. Two Girls Assaulted New Lexington, O.-Carl Brooks (white), of Basil, is under arrest charged with criminally assaulting two twelve year old girls, one colored and one white. Brooks advertised in Columbus papers for girls to assist his wife in caring for a small baby. He called for the girls at different times in his automobile, assaulted them in a nearby woods and then gave them a dollar and told them to go home. IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS HELL! AND NOT TO DEATH E 24TH U. S. INF. STILL T. BENNING, GA. Georgia's Brutal "Crackers"— ending Case Carried to the N. A. A. C. P. and side for the Infantry's —Nicklin! tracedy can do nothing but deepen depression when the situation is reversed. "We are taking the liberty of requesting, first, that such steps as are possible be taken by you to effect adequate punishment of Fulbright, and; second, that the 24th Infantry be removed from Georgia to a more civilized community where decency and justice are more prevalent than appears to be the case at Americus, Georgia. This ill-treatment of men of the 24th Infantry is not a new matter. As far back as 1922, an investigator from this Association, a former army officer, found upon being sent to Americus that practically every soldier of the first and second battalion of the 24th Infantry was disarmed; the third battalion being sent to Georgia in December, 1921. Our investigator also learned that the commanding officer, Col. Nicklin, had stated in his first address to the men of the 24th Infantry that they would be called 'damned niggers' by the white soldiers as a matter of habit but they should not resent it. Col. Nicklin also in the same address told these soldiers that they must remember that they were 'Negroes in Georgia' and that they need no expetition; they treated was not accustomed to be treated at other posts at which they had been stationed. These matters were brought to the attention of the late John W. Weeks, then secretary of war, and there was some amelioration of the situation but most of the conditions, all of which are not detailed above, have continued to this day. The 24th Infantry has had a long and successful treatment, and the application of such ill-treatment will we fear cause still further trouble which can be avoided by prompt action on the part of the authorities." "AN OUNCE OF GRATITUDE" Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Harry:—The Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching Laws, placed upon Ohio's statutes through your splendid service, the very reason of splendid service, endured by The Gazette in championing the Afro-American's cause, fighting prejudice, segregation and injustice of every description; your clean public record and spotless character; these services and more, should prompt every Afro-American who has an ounce of gratitude within him, to support your every way possible in the campaign for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. Accompanying our earnest wishes for your success is the enclosed check for twenty dollars. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook. ```markdown ``` By W. C. Howells. Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer Bureau, 21 S. High Street. COLUMBUS, O., July 7, 1926. There are twelve Republican candidates for governor and the contest at present lies among a number of State Thad H. Brown. Treasurer of State Harry S. Day, Atty, Joseph B. Sleber (K. K. K.) of Akron, and Myers Y. Cooper (K. K. K.) Cincinnati realtor and candidate of the Hynicka organization. Politicians are making their selection from among this select list of four. The other eight, however, offer opportunity for expression of almost any view. Their Opportunity: Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, for six years a member of the Ohio Legislature and for forty-three years editor of The Gazette, a newspaper published in the interests of the Negro race, offers that minority an opportunity to unite and nominate its candidate. He has twice been a candidate for governor and one for secretary of state (piling of 6,031 votes); his name is by no means unknown. There are probably 175,000 colored voters in the state, all Republicans. IF THEY WERE TO UNITE AT THE POLLS, THEY WOULD NOMINATE THEIR CANDIDATE IN ALL PROBABILITY. --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1926. According to daily newspapers, the local Republican organization is accusing Secretary of State Thad H. Brown of Columbus, Joseph B. Sieber of Akron, Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati and State Representative Ross J. Buchanan of Carrollton, all candidates for the Republican nomination for governor, of being Ku Klux Klan candidates. Our people throuth the state should keep this before them all the time regardless of what political leaders black or white, may say to you. BORNO'S DELAYED SALUTE. Col. James T. Watson of the U. S. army, who assumed all blame for the delay in firing the salute of twenty-four guns to President Louis Borno of Haiti, upon the occasion of the recent arrival of his ship at New York (was promptly absolved, last week Wednesday, by the army court-martial selected to try him. It is quite enough to say that such a blunder could not possibly have been made on the arrival of the president of any large country. Haiti is a small one, and a "colored" one, too, staggering along under miserable "American naval control" made up of southern "crackers" who are responsible for the "election" of Borno to the presidency of that country. Said "American naval control" uses Borno and sent him to this country to help fasten its death-like grip on poor, bleeding Haiti. No wonder it has little or no respect for him, and higher officials of the American army showed its lack of respect for Borno by delaying the salute of twenty-four guns which should have been fired promptly upon his arrival in the harbor. Of course Col. Watson was promptly "whitewashed", and that, we presume, will close the matter for all time. We are informed that explanations were made to Borno, that he returned home while the investigation (court martial) was in progress, and that as his ship passed out the harbor, a brigadier general, two colonels, five captains and five lieutenants stood by to see that the farewell salute was fired on time. A double investigation will be made, at once, that will attempt to trace every angle of the unsuccessful dynamite plot to kill Edward Spencer, business agent for the bricklayers' union, which may culminate in a special grand jury session, County Prosecutor Stanton declared, Monday, as he launched a sweeping inquiry into the situation. Spencer's family of five and a filling station attendant were endangered by the dynamite planted in Spencer's automobile. As Stanton started his investigation, police continued their efforts to determine the identity of the assassin who planted the dynamite. Stanton Assigns Detectives. Stanton immediately assigned Detectives Thomas Murphy and Henry Jankowski to the case and announced that he would meet Spen during the day. "Every means available to this office will be employed in running down the perpetrator of this dastardly act," Stanton declared.—Monday's Cleveland News. Splendid, Mr. Stanton; splendid! But when are you going to get started investigating the bombing of the Garvin residence in Wade Park Ave.? Several months ago and a second time a few weeks ago, the newly built residence of Dr. Charles H. Garvin, a World War veteran of superior education and means, superior to that of many of his white neighbors, was visited by bomb-placers. The first one (bomb) exploded damaging the house and endangering the lives of a number of ladies whom Mrs. Garvin was entertaining that Saturday evening. The second bomb injured Chief of Police Jacob Graul when he was "flirting" with it (firing at it with his gun) down on the lake front the day following the one it was planted on the Garvin residence porch. The local police seem to THE GEEVUM GIRLS I REGRET, LADIES, THAT I'LL HAVE TO RAISE YOUR RENT! W-WHAT! have discontinued their efforts to arrest the two-time "Garvin" bombplacers and you, Mr. Stanton, have yet to start an investigation or even assign detectives in that case. We do not know that Business Agent Edward Spencer is a World War veteran or that his family is any better than Dr. Garvin's. Even if he was and they were, we fail to see how either or both could possibly change your duty in the matter, as prosecuting attorney of this county. Come, Mr. Stanton, there are between ten and fifteen thousand Afro-American voters in this city and county many of whom have waited patiently on you for ACTION in the Garvin case and, unless they get it soon, will cast their votes for the Democratic opponent in November regardless of whom he may be unless he, too, be guilty of what seems to be a too large disposition to cater to the Ku Klux element in this community when Afro-Americans are involved. But a comparatively few of the so-called "Negroes" or Afro-American voters in this community are dummies and "slaves" of the "Republican organization", although about all of them are Republicans. And there are many of those in the "Republican organization" who will not vote for you unless you do your clear duty in that Garvin double-headed bomb case. It may interest you to know that this editorial protest has been specifically asked by members of that organization as well as others.

I have just noticed in the morning paper the Newburgh Independent Republican Club's very kind and thoughtful endorsement of my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor and wish, thru you my long-time friend, to express my thoro appreciation of the same.

B-BUT--A-A-HOLD ON A MINUTE!--- brought about the "junking", and ought never to be lost sight of for a single moment. The popular vote primary with its few imperfections is far and away superior to the contests for reasons stated and others, and until a better popular vote plan is found, the one we have should and doubtless be retained, regardless of the political bosses' and their allies' efforts to discredit it for the sole purpose of substituting a convention plan, and regaining control of nominations for public offices. Ohio Afro-American voters, of all others in the state, would be most harmed by a return to the convention plan of making nominations because it would estop any of our number in this state from ever again standing as candidates for public office of any consequence. Whether we are elected or not, we should at least, in common with all other classes or races of voters, be permitted to stand as candidates for any public office, and should not again be barred from so doing as we always were under the rules of any specious argument of politicians or others into signing the petitions now being circulated throut the state which ask that the popular vote primary be resubmitted to a vote at the election in November.

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? Washington, D. C., (Special). —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 Hing; and reached its south under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest parks Parks President has 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, of all, announced in his worst capacity Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation is a Republican institution and 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 their papers, is tenaciously held by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary President Cootidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other secretary and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he chose to display his 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 great things 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. — the postoperative segregation is rampant. The faithful 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 reflect that they are far more capable than the whites to 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, a comfortable lounge and an equipment for rest, sociality, 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 rooms there is 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, who were invited, 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, who was us 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 whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of cases. The colored clerks have dared to form a union whiff that it's regularly and often fairly manly and intelligent persons to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. —The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superiors off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational values. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. 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 case of being elsewhere, the inferior whites pass over our/superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record his work, felt the need of this that of other employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was 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, dislike discrimination, a trumped-up charge. He was a night-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 failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed firearms, a claim that mostimately 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 denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants in the war would have a single name!! The department then taking the position 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVKLAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1926 is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a 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 or his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, and any threat 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 wore 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 loca 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 discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. C.A. to urge them to continue the fight for democracy was at the crises. Osborne Villard came to town 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 altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE READY TO TOILET, THEY ARE READY TO TOILET, 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 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 these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation, the people of our country, the least 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) 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 in the long sweep of the Presidency, long previous 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, devolved the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department from Northern Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can be no more than the same general complaint here among 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 far more. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience 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 their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space t; spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the interior, the luxury for this luxury for another group! The registrarship 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 the office, an apprehension transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being 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. They sing a broke of his pen, President in Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. AS TO THE STRIKE! Employer Contractors Now Forced to Proceed With Paper-Hanging, Painting and Glazing Work Installed. Refuel. Work by Strikers' Refusal. The Citizens Committee which has been advising with the employers during the past nineteen weeks of the painters', paper hangers' and glaziers' work, has always greatly enlarged and henceforth there will be a fund of $5,000,000 available to assist the employers in going ahead with their work in this city. For nineteen weeks union painters, paper hangers and glaziers have held back Cleveland's progress and have caused serious inconvenience and uncalled-for expense to many citizens. Cleveland cannot afford to have any small group of purely selfish and unreasonable tradesmen stand any longer in the city. A new employer further enlargement and the rights of all its people. With the continuance of loyal public support further tyranny of this kind will cease. The striking painters, paper hangers and glaziers have refused to arbitrate their demands and have persistently declined to accept mediation by County Prosecutor E. C. Stanton who has labored faithfully for such and has held at least fifteen meetings in this matter. And they have further defined a responsible agency to offer a settlement made by Mr. Stanton. Their demands are unreasonable and their attitude is arrogant, and both are incompatible with any present day relations between the employers and employees. For the good of this city as a whole and its necessary growth the employer contractors are, therefore, forced by the situation as above outlined to proceed now with painting, paper hanging and glazing work, employing such tradesmen as will work for the wage of $1.25 per week in the days of week and under working conditions as heretofore. This they are arranging to do and will appreciate the co-operation of their customers and the general public in the carrying out of this plan. When Brain Rules the World. Editor: I enjoyed very much the article by Fay King in The Evening American, in which comment was made on the progress of the Negro. His wonderful advancement in all lines of activity is not widely known. Even in this day of "higher culture", at the peak, so some believe, the greatest civilization that history has ever known there appear traits which prove that humanity has not altogether arisen above the emotions which stirred the savage breast in the primeval forest. One of the most salient of these is race prejudice. When a race has been lifted above prejudice and hatred toward other races, then will that race be truly civilized. Its intellectual activities will be so great that petty emotions will find no harbor in its races have broken the shackles of prejudice, then will be highest good for all be accomplished. Then will "Universal Peace" become a reality, for brain will rule the world. Yours very truly. Dr. M. L. M. Judge Kissed His Aged Nurse. Media, Pa.-When John M. Broomall, (white), 3rd, took the oath of office as a judge of common pleas court here, last Thursday, Mrs. Margaret O. Hilton, of Cambridge, Mass., was the first to greet him. Judge Broomall, who stands over six feet and has massive, and gave her a kiss which echoed in the courtroom. Tears streamed down the judge's face as his old nurse (colored) left him saying: "God bless you my boy, and make you a great judge." Mrs. Margaret O. Hilton, who is 85 years old and reputed to be wealthy, had nursed Judge Broomall from the day he was born until he was six years old. Later, she went to Cambridge, owing a children's home, which was finally turned to her by the state of Massachusetts. Mrs. Hilton is a widow. Her husband, Charles Hilton, was a grandson of the personal valet of George Washington. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283.

County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1804 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence or a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; if the law had therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum shall be provided shall be a portion of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recovery provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BS. ed. x. representative of victim of lynching; bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. inst another county. from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concession by hand by the theater or other place of public entertainment and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the nationality action shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is that it has used it as often as they should, but expect them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law: Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the rights of the Rights law was good law and did not amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O. April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I have been informed that you separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, no occasion nor criticism editorially. OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE- PROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it.

In your long career of devoted service you have never faltered in your trust. You have never sold out to the enemy which a man of your commanding influence among our masses could have done many times and made large pecuniary rewards.

As a statesman, you have enriched the legislative annals of the state, by giving us two great bulwarks of personal liberty—The Civil Rights law and The Anti-Lynching law—law legislation that is worthy of Ohio's other great states, the State Senate, and Foraker. No white candidate running against you can, or will, rise to the bigness of such achievement.

Segregation, that strangling monster that was invented to huddle a great people into a ghetto, destroy his self-respect and make the dominant group hold him in contempt, is the order of the day here in both the national and the municipal governments. It goes on without any abatement whatever; in fact, we are getting new cases of it frequently. Our people must array themselves against it with more determined purpose and more solidarity of action than ever before. Certainly, the election of the mayor to high office, and the civic intelligence and racial loyalty that such election develops and displays, will serve beyond measure to rid our country of this undemocratic and insulting practice. I shall appeal to my black fellow-countrymen throughout the nation for small contributions to so worthy a cause, for no great movement can be built rapidly without material support. I am happy to enclose my assistance to the patriotic contribution to my race and country, for this is the cause of democracy, the only basis upon which the nation can endure. DR. BAILEY "CALLS MASCHKE'S HAND" Cleveland, July 12, '26. so Myshka Cleveland, July 12, 200 Mr. Maurice Maschke, Republican National Committeeman, Cleveland, Ohio Dear Sir:—Sometime, ago you said that you would not "endorse any Republican candidate for Governor unless Cuyahoga county entered a candidate"—something it has done in the person of the Hon. Mashkele, the Cleveland mayor. Now Mr. Maschke keep your promise and show that you are a man of your word by endorsing Mr. Smith whom you long ago styled one of the best campaign speakers this town or county had produced. His six years' service (three terms) in the Ohio legislature made him a nomination to any state office and his ability to perform the duties of the office has never been questioned. Six years ago, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, Mr. Smith polled over 61,000 votes. Yours truly, (Rev. Horace C. Bailey, 2244 E. 43rd St., City) The intensive politician drive to obtain 250,000 signatures in less than forty days on the initiated petition for an amendment to the Ohio constitution which will eliminate the popular vote primary system, now mandatory by the basic law of the state, is under way.
