A "JIM CROW" HOSPITAL WANTED NOT BOTHERED ABOUT OPENINGS FOR TWO OR THREE YEARLY INTERNS. The Hospital Advocates Can Open City Hospital to Our Internes And Would-Be Nurses But Will Not Do So—No Discrimination in Local Hospitals. The statement made by a local publication, last Saturday, to the effect that our local ministers had 'endorsed' the abortive "jim-crow" Mercy Hospital movement and that the latter was "gaining friends" is not only untrue but positively ridiculous! The committee, appointed our ministers, will meet on week Monday, for the Gothamense Baptist church, cor. E. 30th St. and Scovill Ave., and attended by about thirty, was to report at the meeting held in the same place on Monday of this week but failed to do so and is hardly expected to, for reasons obvious. Dr. C. C. Aller's Protest. Rev. Chas. C. Aller, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church, secretary of our local Ministers' Association, which represents 56 churches, has made the following statement: "For about eighteen months our attention has been called by some of our local physicians to their desire to build a hospital for our people. The doctors tell us that we should have a hospital in which we have a perfect right to have our doctors and nurses trained to see that we are cared down in this city. We cared down! I believe the fact we have no colored interses and nurses in City hospital is our own fault, because we have but to go to the polls and vote for what we want. We only had one deputy sheriff until we went to the polls and influenced the appointment of two. The same is true in the hospital matter. Thus, why pay taxes and stay away from the money duty and refuse to go into the courts and fight for the rights of our internes and would-bear nurses in City hospital? It is ours to go to the polls and get what is ours. I believe it is far better to do this than to attempt to build a hospital when we cannot pay for our churches and the Phillis Wheatley home for our girls which we owe $15,000. We cannot build an artist, when will we be free from debt? I have told the ministers, all of them, the doctors, are NOT going to build a hospital; I have told the physicians that they are NOT going to build one; the underworld hasn't thought about it; the only people who will build a hospital would it be for the plain people only? According to the statement a doctor in my home, it will be. A doctor, who is one of the leaders in the Mercy Hospital movement, told me if they were successful in building a hospital he would not take his wife and daughter there. According to this statement, building this hospital means to lean on us. Who else will works on the street regards his wife and daughter's life as dear as any doctor or preacher. Friends, we as a people, have suffered no more than others by the congested condition of present hospital facilities, and regardless of what we have relatively contributed, we will receive benefits and privileges as other races. I am opposed to attending something that is in order. To attempt to dislace those of the race in Cleveland. Friends, you will find that some few of the preachers argue of the "merits" of the proposed Mercy hospital, but where are the "merits"? There are none!" Editor Plain Dealer—Sir: On Jan. 29 there appeared in the Plain Dealer an article bearing the title, "Seek Mercy Fund". On March 22 another was published headed "Negro Hospitalurg". Knowing the urgency of the Plain Dealer's friendliness attitude toward my people, especially in the last forty years, I make bold to write you an open letter upon this vital matter, to the great majority of my people of Cleveland and to advise the great body of philanthropic white people of this community that my people are not asking them for a separate hospital. "That colored people are frequently turned away from the Cleveland hospital with the answer that there are no colored beds vacant", this is not so, and I challenge the authority of the statement. Relatively to what we contribute, the Negro receives more than a quarter of the hospitals of Cleveland, and never to my knowledge hdve any of them who are able to pay, been refused a private room. I speak from personal experience; that of my wife and myself. It is not the custom in any hospital anywhere to give charity patients a private room, and the major majority of Negroes are charity patients". This is not the reflection upon every hospital in Cleveland, but it is untrue, unfair and unjust, and should not have been made. Toegtether with The portraits above show a street-scene during the excitement of the week of Mar. 19, '27, (top), and (below) the Coffeyville, Kans. combination-jail and city-hall, around which approximately one hundred shots were fired. Every window was broken and four persons were injured. State troopers saved three Afro-Americans from the hands of a mob of white brutes on Mar. 18. They were accused of attacking two white girls but were released after the girls declared that they were not their assailants. Kluxers led lawless demonstration, as The photograph (below) was after the city had quieted Hardware stores were looted mob for ammunition, and guar-tear-gas bombs were used to up the mob. others of my people. I have contributed to every hospital campaign, and we are regular contributors to the Community Fund. A recent survey made by the ladies' interracial committee has failed to find any discrimination or segregation in the data, but that a few of these "Negro" doctors, mostly recent comers from the South where they have separate hospitals, are desirous of having a "Negro" hospital for their own aggrandizement. The older and more prosperous "Negro" doctors favor no such institution. If these few misguided "Negroes" and selfish doctors need any such place, the colored people are not interested in their establishing (and they are abundantly able to do so) a private hospital and clinic of their own, maintained and supported by themselves. But we are unalterably opposed to them seeking funds from the public to give them a hospital which will be the means of closing the doors of every hospital, even those faced by the "Negro" whites saving to us—"Go to the one we have given you". I desire to further call your attention to these facts: The Gazette and the Call, our local Negro newspapers, and our leading doctors are opposed to this Mercy hospital; also many of our leading Negro ministers have opposed it to their pulpits. If the community should give help to the sick and needy, they should support it; as evidenced by the Phyllis Wheatley subscription fund, The Negroes of Cleveland subscribed $169,000 in the Phyllis Wheatley campaign—to date (two years or more afterward) they have paid in only $11,400. Our churches alone have an aggregate debt of over $500,000, and are planning campaigns to raise their debt. Cleveland has with her ordered citizens (many of them are not fair with Cleveland). We are satisfied with our civic accord and treatment, the sharing in common with all other nationalities in every civil and political right. We are not unmindful of the congested conditions in our local hospitals, but we do know that when the hospitals of Cleveland—now adding new additions—and the new ones in the course of construction of the world town will be the greatest medical centers of the world and we, as colored people, will enjoy, in common with all others, the benefit of the greatest medical skill and attention that the world has ever known. We want n Mercy hospital; its right name—"jim-crow" hospital—and we hope that the good people of Cleveland will trown down this movement. "Jim-Crow" Doctors To Blame. "Jim-Crow" Doctors To Blame. Editor Guzette, Dear Sir:—Local 'Negro' doctors, who own property are taxed, in common with all other taxpayers of the various nationalities in this community, to support the City hospital and so long it is closed to "Negro" internes an women who would learn nursing, it is their own fault because it can be opened by securing a mandatory injunction on the ground of "taxation without representation". And so long as it is closed to them, it is their fault and there is no one to blame but themselves. They had better make an honest offer to so-called men their managers rights than to surrender them for their own aggrandizement, and that, too, at the expense of future generations of our folk. More-over we want no "jim-crow" candidates for any office. They had better go to work in the "Machine Shop". Anon. Assistant County Counsel M. C. Glenn successfully carried an indigent liquor law violator's case to the State Supreme Court. It is a friendly test case for his office. broken and four persons were injured.

They were accused of attacking two white girls but were released after the girls declared that they were not ATTY. CLARENCE S. DARROW An Excellent Portrait of the Notice Criminal Lawyer and Champion of Human Liberty—A Real Friend of The Race. While Mr. Darrow holds some views, particularly on the Christian religion, which do not harmonize with those of the great majority of the people of this country, his wonderful success in the practice of his work makes him a respect far and away above that enjoyed by most of the statesmen and other prominent men of the country. Our people learned Mr. Darrow fairly well during the trial, early last year, of the Sweet brothers and others in Detroit. That acquaintance and apprehension have a stronger since, as a result of a number of splendid addresses he has delivered to Afro-American audiences in various parts of the country. The Gazette wanted very much, last week, to publish Mr. Darrow's portrait in connection with the excerpts from his splendid speech delivered, recently, in Washington, so because of its inability to secure a cut, in time. Like our good friend (deceased), the great writer, Albion W.

CADY SECRETARY OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. The U. S. Leads the World in "Jim Crowning" its Own Citizens, Among Its Most Loyal, Too, Says Congregationalist Leader. Dr. George L. Cady of New York, secretary of the American Missionary Association, the Congregational agency "for the furtherance of interracial brotherhood" preached, Sunday, at Mayflower Cong, church and, among other things, said: "Five hundred million yellow people, 450,000,000 brown people, and 150,000,000 black people now challenge the right of one-third the world's surface to shine we face some bewildering revolt. The historical ways are well marked. There is the old Assyrian way—the way of the sword. We can unsheath it and through blood might establish our right to rule and own the earth, but they that take the sword will perish by the sword and we will face future, some archaeologist will uncover the ruins of our Nordic cities and wonder that with so much knowledge of history we should have chosen the age-old path and become one with Nineveh and Tyre. Leads the World in "Jim Crow." "I isolation has become impossible. God has taken the ends of the earth and put them all in one room. The cable, the wireless, the airplane, the fighter of the world, George Washington never dreamed, have brought far off Cathay, Zambesi, Constantinople, Berlin, London-and Paris and made them morning callers at our breakfast table. Thus forced to rub shoulders with other people in a world growing smaller and smaller, surely we cannot hope to keep world peace if we are to mingle on our own terms of race prejudice and race pride. It is time we take stock of our souls and realize that we are more arrogant in the part, there surely is none at the present which so struts and swaggers in the presence of other races. There is no country in the world that has 'jim-crowed' its schools, its theaters, its playgrounds, its public conveyances, and above all 'jim-crowed' its courts of justice, except America. In the Washington conference on disarmament, Mr. Hughes started the world by his proposal to scrap the armies of the world. America leading the way. But there was one sentence uttered which was vastly more significant for world peace. I think it was Lord Balfour who said, 'What we need is moral disarmament.' Prejudice Will Arm World. **Rejuvenate** We must send our ships and guns, but if we keep our souls' bristling with race prejudice, race arrogance, race hatred, and race pride, these will build new navies and new armies in a day. Prof. Ellwood in his 'Reconstruction of Religion', has said, 'We would seem to be in need of good will more than intelligence. When one contemni- derable breaks down barriers to present world, one might be pardoned if he claimed the world needs good will more than science or art, yes even more than food or shelter.' Is it too much to claim that this is just what Christianity came to promote? Whatever Christendom may have stood for, there can be no doubt that Christ came to unify the world, to bind the world together by the bonds of brotherly love. For him there were no colors, or races, or classes, but just men and women and children—all God's children. Whenever Christianity has been Christian, it has been blind to every difference but that between right and wrong. In the Great Assize, America will be united, and the wraps herself in herself, or as in largeness of love she gives her best and shares her blessing with all mankind. THE NEW WAYMAN OPENING! Dayton, O.—The new Wayman A. M. E. church is in the midst of its program of opening exercises which is scheduled to run from Mar. 20 to June 12, and Rev. Oliver W.

SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1927. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the executive committee of the Ohio State Educational Conference to attend the general sessions and sectional meetings of its seventh annual session to be held in Columbus, Apr. 7, 8, and 9, '27. --- While Supt. Richard C. Bundy, of the Combined Normal and Industrial (State) Department at Wilberforce, was secretary of the U. S. legation at Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, he wrote and published in pamphlet form about forty or fifty of the very interesting folk-tales of that country which were published in the Journal of American Folklore in 1919. At this late date, the foregoing will come to many of his friends and others as news, as it did to us upon receipt of one of the aforementioned pamphlets, because Mr. Bundy is more modest and unassuming than the average literary inclined writer. --- The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of the program of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., as outlined for the year by its president, Atty. Charles W. White. His fourth recommendation, "the adoption of a more aggressive attitude toward all forms of segregation and discrimination in Cleveland," is absolutely necessary if the local branch is ever to become a real success in this community. Its failure to do this very thing, ever since its inception, has been its greatest drawback and will continue to be until President White's fourth recommendation is accepted in full faith and acted upon. --- As a matter of record, Georgia has more lynchings to her discredit than any other state in the South, leading in this respect almost every year since the war of the rebellion. Several months ago, "crackers" of the state, emboldened by their success in lynch-murdering "Negroes," lynched a white man by the name of Dave Wright. This sort of thing is a very different matter even in Georgia, it seems. The result to date has been that approximately twenty of them have been convicted and sentenced to terms of from four to twenty years in the Georgia penitentiary. A crumb of satisfaction can be extracted from this legal gesture, for that is about all it amounts to as far as our people our concerned. "WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT"? Under the above caption Mrs. Reba W. Baldwin (white), president of the Phillis Wheatley Association, opens an article in "The Open Door" for March, the organ of the association, with the following paragraph: "If it becomes known that the 'Negro' group has fallen down on its support of Phillis Wheatley Association, after giving pledges for its support, the larger group will hesitate before supporting a new cause at least until it is evident that the colored group means to stand by its obligations. It is very possible, too, that the Welfare Federation will hesitate to sponsor a new request for the support of another 'Negro' undertaking until they have greater assurance that the 'Negro' means to carry through one project to its completion." Mrs. Baldwin clearly has reference to the proposed abortive "jim-crow" Mercy hospital movement in the foregoing; also to the $158,000 members of the race in this community subscribed to the new Phillis Wheatley building-project and have not paid after a lapse of two years. She is right when she says the Welfare Federation "will hesitate to sponsor a new request for support of another 'Negro' undertaking", under the circumstances. More, it would be foolish, in any event, it would be foolish, in any event, the Federation to sponsor the few local "Negro" doctors whim for a "jim-crow" hospital because the local "Negro group", as she terms our people of this community, is not only unable to pay the $158,000 subscribed to the new P. W. A. building but is entirely helpless and almost hopeless in the face of its local church indebtedness of over a half million dollars! Still more, the great majority of our people of this community—ministers, doctors, other professional men and business men, as well as laymen, male and female—are unalterably opposed to the abortive "jim-crow" Mercy hospital proposition because it would prove the most harmful thing ever established in this community, as far as they are concerned, and they know this, too. The local "Negro group HAS fallen down on its support of the Phillis Wheatley Association" as far as its pledges, referred to, are concerned and this is no longer a secret, Mrs. Baldwin. It was the bane of "blowbag" spirit brought to this city in the last nine years that is responsible for the wholesale subscriptions given the Phillis Wheatley Association, two years ago, a hundred-and-fifty-eight thousand dollars of which have never been paid and most of which will never be paid. Cleveland will have no Mercy Hospital! THE ENQUIRER WRONG! The editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer is not unlike a great many persons in and out of the state of Ohio, these days, in their misunderstanding of the status of the Combined Normal and Industrial (State) Department at Wilberforce. It is just as much a part of this state's educational system as are the branches at Athens and Oxford. The C. N. & I. (State) Department at Wilberforce is open to all, without reference to class or color, and is controlled by the state of Ohio, and not by Wilberforce University. Therefore, the C. N. & I. Department could not be "a Methodist school, a sectarian institution." Furthermore, the state does know what is done with every cent of its money, appropriated for the maintenance of the C. N. & I. (State) Department at Wilberforce and the state does spend this money "directly" thus trustees appointed by the governor of Ohio. It ought not to be necessary to have to say to the editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer, particularly at this time, that a state examiner, sent to Wilberforce in recent weeks, has filed his report with Auditor of State Tracy which endorses all that we have said in the foregoing, and much more. The state has not "sunk" a dollar in its "enterprise" at Wilberforce.

In the man and address of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business manager is Harry C. Smith, Cleveland Ohio. 2. That the owner is: Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, Ohio. 3.

Where and When Segregation Was Born and by Whom Suggested—A Ku Klux Klan Tenet or Fundamental—Do Not Patronize the Advocates of the Mercy "Jim The indebtedness of our churches in this community is nearly a half million of dollars. This vast sum our people here can never hope to raise among themselves and will have an awful time getting it, from all sources, peoples, local churches, and Adding to that the sum one the hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollar debt on the new Philms Wheatley home, the known total aggregates more than a half million dollars! And this does not include the indebtedness of a number of our churches in this community we have not as yet been able to get in touch with them, the "Negro" physicians, in the face of this, to ask this community to finance and support a hospital for them to cost at the start two hundred and twenty thousand dollars, making the total indebtedness of "Negro" controlled institutions here more than seventy hundred thousand dollars, that it would eventuate into a more harmful "jim-crow" affair, another "Negro" burden on the community; that it could never hope to give the service our people are now enjoy the community a number of which have Afrero-American physicians connected with them, some on their staffs. The one claim of the proponents of Mercy hospital that such an institution is necessary in order to make an opening for two or three yearly graduates of the train as interns, is also ridiculous. Such an opening can be made without a two-hundred thousand-dollar expense and with a hundred times less trouble, if it is really necessary. All that is necessary is for City Manager Hobkins to open the City hospital and nurses school to our interns and would be nurses. If he fails to to such an extent that the nurses can use the courts to compel him to do so, and it will not cost any $220,000 to do this, either.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1927 Crow" Hospital. ton made his famous Atlanta, Ga. speech, the outstanding statement of which was that "the colored and white people could live in this country separate as the fingers of the hand". From that day to this, prejudiced white people, particularly the Ku Klux Klan in recent years, have steadily worked for segregation until now there is an organized movement thrust the north to separate (segregate) the two races or classifications of white people, the administration, amusement, etc. This segregate-as-the-fingers of the hand" segregation-idea, born, in Atlanta as we have said, many years ago, is now a Ku Klux Klan tenet or fundamental, as far as our people are concerned. When Dr. Washington spoke so unfortunately, many years ago. The Gazette was the only race publication in the country to take issue with him and to characterize his statement as a most harmful and unjustified action would prove and we were right, as all now know. This week. The Gazette was informed, by those in a position to know, that the segregation of our people of this city in a separate or "jim-crow" hospital was primarily promoted by the local Ku Klux Klan and that their "Gru" allies were old, by the promise to secure ten thousand dollars and in Woodland Ave., unused building in the woodland Ave., when it became the crow-hospital of its offer, it seems and the probability of a few jobs and an opportunity to handle not only the ten thousand dollars promised but the two-hundred-twenty-two thousand patients would come from the Community Chest and other local public sources, won them. And, too, regardless of the fact that underneath it all was the Ku Klux Klan, working to carry out its separation or segregation idea of this city. The establishment of a "jim-crow" hospital meant separate schools in this city for our children meant nothing to them. Thereupon, the few local "Negro" doctors and their misguided friends became, knowingly or otherwise, the willing tools of the Ku Klux Klan of this city. That separate schools would mean the loss of about sixty of our seventy-five or eighty teachers in the local public schools, some of whom are also "Negro" doctors and other "Negro" "jim-crow" hospital proponents, seems to give them no concern whatever but would undoubtedly do so, when too late to undo the harm done, should their scheme prove successful which there is now no likelihood of.

SEGREGATION AN OUTRAGE! How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press and People of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? Coolidge Permits It. 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, until it was still further, under President Harding; and then reached its zenith under 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 inmates in this city in the district, restricting white people, 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 democratic institution and a Democratic one, which is run 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 graph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious; held on to by our Republican president. Only last week, colored girl appeared after being passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he has the favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome, home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postofficer segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla 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 gallant than the colored clerks than is the height of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them of as though they were lepers. The juvenile stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whines and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able 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 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, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dances and a pleasure meeting with the staff for "the postoffice employees" yet not one was invited to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get the colored. These clerks give the function at a local hotel, 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 mail. The colored clerks have dared to union which me is regularly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities, here and there in a 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 caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our society who believed 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 that they are not afraid and then dismissed on 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 in severe unsecured weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given 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 is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (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 leader of the Civil War, wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- oer 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 race, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate romance in those appearances 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! 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. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as his can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. 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 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 discuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight. Our power was at the crest.wald Garrison 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 segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that *brahman 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 SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and standing areas. None are ever thought of for prestations 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 these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hopeless in their efforts to destroy this inquisitive 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, a memorial member of great Hamilton canvass in the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national Constitution, Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest demand for the several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce 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 toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to work in the kitchen to stire 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 students are the only people created. It seats two thousand creators with space t: spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being 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. He might 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 right 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, beet net 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 increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. He had led up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employ- Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. CHARACTER.
