PROTEST GOVERNMENTAL SEGREGATION THOMAS AND DOUGLASS SEE THE DIRECTOR OF THE U. S. BUREAU Of Printing and Engraving Where Most of Our Women Are Employed and Are Grossly Discriminated Against in a Most Contemptible Manner—Coolidge Appealed to Again "Jim Crow" Hospitals. Washington, D. C.—Neval H. Thomas, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, and Haley G. Douglass, of its civil service committee, called on the director of the U. S. bureau of engraving and printing. Saturday, to enter complaint against the many handicaps under which our lady-employees labor in that institution. They are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other government institution, as the Prof. Neval H. Thomas. work of printing all of the papermoney, bonds and postage stamps of the government is done there and is laborious. The white employees, far better circumstanced in this same establishment in salary, grades and character of work, have appeal to the laborer, the Labor, and our employees feel that they are deserving of far greater recognition than they now have before they attain the present status of their white co-workers. The protest, which these gentlemen filed with the bureau, was against its recent introduction of machines which have been used to produce and from which a large group of the whites were transferred to more pleasant work and a mass of our ladies congregated on that work, much of it to be done at night; the exclusion of our employees from the numbering division; the making of color the basis of promotion to different levels of some minor officials addressing white ladies as "Miss" and our ladies by their first names; and the system of congregation in toilets, locker rooms, and recreational provisions prevailing throughout the vast institution. The committee received the assurance that every company would be remedied, and expressed a desire that it would hear from the bureau officials at the very earliest date. The Washington organization has waged uneven warfare on governmental segregation for fifteen years. It realizes that it is the greatest evil that the Afro-American has to combat in this country, and the one which all of the other worlds flow. It has investigated every department of the government only to find it there. It has protested to the White House, to committees of both the House and Senate, to the courts, and to public opinion. Only last month it appeared through its president, Neval H. Thomas, and its deputy, Robert A. McCormick, the delegation headed by William Monroe Trotter of Boston to lay its complaints before President Coolidge. Thomas To White. Charles White, Esq., President, The N. A. A. C. P., Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. White: -I find that I have another speaking date on the 24th inst, which will preclude my acceptance of your gracious invitation to address my comrades in Ireland and will it will be my pleasure and inspiration to have the opportunity at another time. I know that your organization there will be able to stay the march of our bourbon southern institutions into the North, the policy that our enemies are pursuing with more vigor than ever before. Having securely pionned us here in the capital and further south, they move on to spread their vile institution of segregation over the north. We are pleased to have with increased fire and power, resisting every suggestion of separate hospitals, schools, and all of the other wicked distinctions that curse our capita here in a nation that brazenly calls itself a democracy! You may depend upon my relentless opposition to every one of these discriminations whatever the cost may be. Your comrade in arms, Neval H. Thomas. Kansas Mob Demonstration Echo. Coffeyville, Kan.—Two women and eight men were taken in custody on charges of participating in the mob which attempted to attack our section of this town on March 18 after their unsuccessful rush upon the jail to seize two assault school girls (white), alleged victims have been unable to identify their assailants.

Hale Thompson's first acts on taking office as mayor of Chicago, last week, for the third time was to appoint Bishop Archibald J. Carey of the A. M. E. Church to the civil service commission. Bishop Carey was born in Atlanta, in 1868. After his graduation from Atlanta, university, he taught for several years in southern schools. Confirmation of his appointment rests with city council. He will be confirmed. Bishop Carey has been active in Chicago and Illinois politics for years.

Chicago, Ill.—Clarence Darrow started his seventy-first year of his life, Tuesday, with eulogies, ringing in his ears, such as are rarely heard except over one who is gone. Fifteen hundred men and women, including notables from all over Amer- ica, paid tribute to the grizzled lawyer, writer and philosopher, Monday night, in a testimonial banquet on the occasion of his seventieth birthday anniversary. They heard him described as Chicago's most distinguished citizen, an advocate of human rights, an optimistic cynic in literature, friend of the Afro-American, defender of science and humanitarian. The gods have made only one ClarenceArrow, said Thomas V. Smith, professor of philosophy at the university of Chicago, "and frequent must be the regrets in celestial headquarters that this one was made." "Darrow's religion," said Shirley J. Case, professor of early Christian history at the University of Chicago, "has consisted in a love for his fellow men, rather than in the love of any abstract God." Mr. Darrow's spectacular and successful defense (as usual) of the Sweet brothers and others in that famous murder trial at Detroit, many months ago, will be readily recalled by our many readers.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OUR CHILDREN AND MANY ADULTS DOOMED TO AGRICULTURAL SERFDOM IN THE SOUTHLAND. Zerbert Zam's Most Illuminating Article on "Negro Children in America"—Their Mortality, Education, Illiteracy and Labor—Editor Dunjee's Review of the Zam Article. Chicago, Ill.—A well written article that gives a keen analysis of the terrible conditions that face Afro-Americans, by showing the facts pertaining to our life life; on the point of infant mortality, education, illiteracy, and child labor is to be found in the March issue of the "Workers Child", published by the International Publishing House of the Young Communist International, London, England. The article is written by Herbert Zam, editor of the Young Worker and, statistically on reports and findings of the U. S. Department of Commerce as conducted in some hundred cities on infant mortality. The writer draws sharp attention in the beginning to the fact that contrary to the customary belief among Europeans, that America is the land of "milk and honey" and priceless advantages for all children, the actual statistics show that while white children in America occupy a proportion of the same as that of the children of some European countries, Negro children fall far beneath these standards, as to infant mortality, education, illiteracy and child labor. The writer cites, from the reports of the Department of Commerce, facts about infant mortality rates that are really startling. In 1922 the difference between the mortality rates of Negro and white children was 11.5 for Negro children and 11.2 for white children while the much higher figure of 110 for Negro children is given; it is further shown that even among children of the same age in England and in Austria the mortality rate never goes above 70.4 for English children and 76.5 for African children. The reports so show that between 1923 and the present time there has been a sharp increase in Negro infant mortality. Statistics cited for certain cities show a difference in mortality rates as between Negro and white children that differ widely. In many cases the rate of mortality among Negro children is three times as as that of white children. This is true of both northern and southern cities. Investigation into educational opportunities afforded Negro children show a condition in Negro life as poor as that illustrated in infant mortality. We have space to point to only one or two of the many facts in the book by readers. In 1924, in the 17 southern states, out of 3,141.869 Negro children of school age only 2,149.582 were enrolled in school which means that nearly a million are growing up in the southern states without any chance for education. It is pointed out that in the North also, Negro children lose as to educational opportunities. The hard fare which keeps the Negro at the bottom of the ladder forces not only the mother and father into the factory but also many of the children. Illiteracy among Negro children in America is shown to be greater than in any other country that lays claim to any educational advancement whatever. Negro literacy in eighty-five of the 29.9 million 8.8 higher than the next highest percentage of illiteracy shown in a group of nine countries. The editor of The Young Worker closes his article with an extensive examination of labor conditions as pertaining to Negro children; here the writer shows the real reason for the appalling extent of illiteracy among Negro children in America. It is also the terminated attempt to keep the Negro people in agricultural serdom; Negro children are sent into the field at an early age as a source of cheap labor but incidentally their minds and bodies are stultified to the extent that they grow up unable to cope with well-trained young men and women of the white race so that they must naturally occupy the place that the stronger朗 class of Negro workers in the industrial districts of the North, the struggle for existence presents itself to the Negro workers who under the American system are allotted the work that is the most burdensome and that carries with it the lowest pay. They must send their wives, their children, as well as go themselves into the factory, the foundry, the steel mill, and the packinghouse to be able, to make ends meet in the house. The work that is given for educational opportunities or cultural advancement under such a system.

Washington, D. C. - The twelfth annual session of the National Race Committee of the Mt. Carson church, closed, last week Thursday evening, with a heated political discussion. Dr. Wm. H. Jernagin, the president, introduced Rev. Wm. A. Byrd, of Newark, J. N., as the first speaker. Dr. Byrd spoke on "What Should Be The Politics Of The Afro-American in 1928". He said, in part, "Stay in your party but clean it up. My people is 'Let's clean up in 1928'." And then came political "boot-licking" talk when Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman from Mississippi and a "special" assistant to the U. S. Attorney General, said: "President Coolidge has not appointed a registrar of the treasury in Washington, yet he has gone to Louisiana and made Walter G. Honecker, collector of customs at New Orleans, one of the important positions in the South." Clarke Scores Coolidge. Atty. Thomas H. R. Clarke boldly challenged the statements of Howard, saying: "We have no representative in the diplomatic service. We only have 8 Scores Coolidge, whom we have been demoted, Mr. Howard told how President Coolidge appointed Walter H. Cohen, collector of customs in New Orleans, but I can recall when I could write down the names of from 25 to 30 colored men holding important positions in the South. I remember the time when I could count the names of 1,400 colored clerks in the department, whom I asked to post the Post Office. In 1928, support those men who have supported you and yours, no matter what party they come from. President Harding only made 3 important appointments when previous Republican Presidents had appointed from 25 to 40. President Coolidge has not broken up segregation in the departments of Washington. When a president falls ill, an issuer in the order to abolish inequality in the government departments, he is not a man to be cullored or supported by our people. It was the late Senator LaFollette, who put through the appointment of Walter H. Cohen." $3,000 DAMAGES: Chicago, Ill.—The widow of Jas. Thomas, 4839 Washington Park Court, who was killed by a mob, March 7, 1926, in the headquarters of Ragen's Colts, 5142 Halsted St., has just been awarded $3,000 by Judge Jesse Holdom. This amount had been previously agreed upon by the corporation counsel's office, but when the case was heard before Judge Jesse Cornell the refusal rulled that it was not a mob attack but just a gang of political hoodlums. The case was then sent back to the chief justice for reassignment with the $3,000 final award-result. Another victory for the Illinois Anti-lynching law which is almost an exact copy of Hon. Harry C. Smith's pioneer Ohio Anti-lynching law. Finder Owner of $30,000 Necklace. New York City.—Mrs. Adeladea Forts became the owner of a $30,000 strand of 130 graduated pearls with a diamond and platinum clasp, last week Wednesday, when the police were unable to find the owner of the pearls' hunt. Mrs. Forts found the pearls at 135th St. and Lenox Ave. She carried them to a jeweler and attempted to sell them for $5. He notified the police and she was arrested. $70,000 For Soldiers' Monument.

SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1927. Atty. Chas. C. Marshall of New York City, in quoting from the manual of the Catholic Church, has sure put an awful crimp in the candidacy of Gov. Al. Smith for the Presidency. The latter's reply to Mr. Marshall's first letter was surely as fine reading as one could wish for and undoubtedly made him additional friends and supporters in the Democratic party. --- In recent weeks, Gov. Al. Smith of New York State has thrice vetoed a bill giving to the Harlem district of New York City a municipal court. No one, it seems, questions the need of such a court but the trouble is "Empire City" officials do not want it because an Afro-American would surely be elected to preside over the court and Gov. Al. is "listening to them", it seems. The Harlem district, you know, is Afro-American "with a vengeance". Eight members of the Canal road garbage collection plant of the city were arrested, last week Friday, and 15 "fired", on the charge of padding the city pay-roll. One of the cases involved a sub-superintendent and another, a time-keeper. Daily newspaper statements as to the amount of the pay-roll fraud differ, one saying $3,000 and the other $500. Practically all of those arrested and "fired" were members of the race. This is the unfortunate phase of the matter. CHAIRMAN WARNER'S LITTLE JOKE. Marion, O., April 29 — Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, defeated Republican Ohio in candidate for governor of Ohio in 1926, is the hope of his party for governor of Ohio in 1928, Fred W. Warner, of Marion, chairman of the Republican state central committee, declared here today. If the foregoing be true, then "Lord help the party" in 1928. Myers Y. Cooper's color-line and segregation activity in his homecity, according to our people in Cincinnati, was what caused his defeat, last fall, more than anything else and it will defeat him again if he has the temerity to stand as a candidate for Governor or any other of fice in the state of Ohio, in 1928. "Street gospel meetings to tame 'the roaring third' police precinct" will not accomplish the desired results. Police patrol duty and driving from it the prostitutes of the precinct will do more to clean up "the roaring third" than all the gospel meetings and surveys it is possible to plan and put into effect. A united demand for these two things should be made upon City Manager Hopkins by our ministers and churches of "the roaring third" police precinct. Everybody seems to know what is wrong in "the roaring third" except some of our ministers, it seems. The nearness of the Presidential campaign, as usual is making partisan Republican papers (white) more or less solicitous as to the treatment of Afro-American voters by the Democratic party in the South, particularly. Some of them have already begun again to advocate the reduction of southern representation in the Congress because of distranchisement. They are never concerned about this except in Presidential campaigns, and even then they touch the subject more or less lightly. The miserable segregation of Afro-American employees (and others) in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government's service under Republican administrations, particularly that of President Coolidge, gives them absolutely no concern whatever. All of which is first-hand proof of their hypocrisy and double-dealing in the case of our voters THE GEEVUM GIRLS who ought long ago to have learned their lesson. That is, they must use their ballots to strike back, and so vote as to help to defeat President Coolidge or any other candidate who insults or mistreats them or who is guilty of failing to accord them all of their rights and privileges as American citizens. One of the most encouraging things in recent months is the advocacy of the foregoing by Rev. Wm. A. Byrd and Atty. Thos. H. R. Clarke in the National Race Congress meet, held about ten days ago, at the nation's capital. Slowly but surely the intelligent, loyal and fearless of the race are beginning to notify our hide-bound, "boot-licking", so-called political leaders that there must soon come an end to their misrepresentation and capitalization of "the political support of the Negro race." DOINGS OF THE RACE Bishop A. J. Carey as chairman of the civil service commission of the city of Chicago will receive $7,-500 a year. The Julius Rosenwald foundation has given $50,0136 to our North Carolina schools in the last ten years. Our people of that state raised $530,000 in the same period of time. Mr. Rosenwald is a resident of Chicago. The 28th quadrennial conference of the A. M. E.-Church will assemble in Chicago in May, 1928. The General Conference commission of the church held at a meeting last week, in Indianapolis, where the conference was originally scheduled to meet. Student Barred From Training Camp. Protest has been sent to President Coolidge against the action of officers of the Citizens' Military Training Camp in barring Marsden V. Burnell, of New York City, student of the Textile High school, because of his color. The President is said to have reported the case to the War Department for investigation. Burnell volunteered for the camp, and was then informed by Lieut. Col H. W. Fleet that the C. M. T. camps of the New York area are closed to "Negroes". He was advised to apply to Atlanta, Ga., where he received the same reply. Hurrah! for Coolidge—if you can now! Another Anti-Segregation Victory. New Orleans, La.—Further favorable results of the U. S. Supreme Court decision, declaring residential segregation unconstitutional, were realized here, recently, when a bitterly fought segregation case of a year's standing was thrown out of the local courts. The case was that of the Land Development Co. (against the city) which sought to furnish homes for Afro-Americans in districts restricted to them by the New Orleans segregation ordinance which the U. S. Supreme court recently declared unconstitutional. Europe's Slayer Free! Boston, Mass. — After serving eight years of a twelve year sentence for the murder of James Reese Europe, leader of the renowned old 15th N. Y. regiment, Herbert Wright, former trap drummer of the band, was released from prison, Apr. 13 on parole. During his incarceration Wright had been conducting the prison band. He claims that he will make an effort to organize a civilian band. Mose Moore Dead. Dayton, Q.—Moses C. Moore, age 76, owner of a string of race horses, several of which won stakes at New York, Latonia, Lexington and other tracks, died recently. One of his horses, "Club", set a track-record, recently, at Louisville. He also owned "Marion Groosby", "Gypsy George" "Who Knows Me" and "Uncle Velo". Gets $30,000 Verdict! Chicago, Ill.—After deliberating an hour and one-half, April 7, a jury in the courtroom of Judge Hosea Wells of the circuit court awarded a judgment of $30,000 to Mrs. Catherine Nelson, 3433 Michigan Ave., against the Yellow Cab company as a result of injuries she received three years ago, when the cab in which she was riding collided with a truck on the 45th St. viaduct, near the Union stockyards.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted, July 28, 1886. The amendment, after defining citizenship in the United States, provides that "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote is denied by the number of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way except for the purpose of participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state." Language could not be more explicit than this. If the right to vote or membership of the state amendment, "is denied," or "in any way abridged," then the basis of representation SHALL be reduced.

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. It still further, under President Harding, its tench under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes shall not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not 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 papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a color girl appeared after having received 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, word is law there, as he the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the favorite 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 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 postfocal segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. Physical discomfort, advantageous as it is, is far less galling to the coored clerks than the thought of their government, taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the part 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, 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 whives and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker 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 ning with the teachers for the "postmaster employees" yet not one was delivered 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 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 mail. The colored clerks have dared to union which means is regularly and often frequently and intelligent appeals 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. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where of the employee may go out there for tables or may go 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, as elsewhere, the inferior status assures sanction employees 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 work, felt that the 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 that he was dismissed on a trump-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 coals, and then dismissed. 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 result of their protest and arrest. She is Joan 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 races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our countryside, upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! 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 he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to novail, 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 discuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight for our freedom at the crises, Oswald Garrison Villiard came to town to attack White House and Cabinier 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 fulness, under the administration of the party that brahman Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Doug gass 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 these rest rooms, toilets, and dining rooms, none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high age normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order to the government practice all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impaire 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 president was a man of 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 department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Netanyahu's government 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 toiletes, 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 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 to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The 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 assurance of it. A single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D.C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the light against the aggregation 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, bearer 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, hardly cold before the short to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus regated 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. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. CHARACTER.

Dear Friend: I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it.

Subscribe Now VIVIDLY PATTERNED SWEATERS TOP SKIRTS OF WHITE JERSEY E PARIS CONTINUES TO SEND OVER BEGUILING SNUG-FITTING FELTS WHEN springtime arrives with its program of outdoor events, it is the girl in sports attire who is the center of attraction. This year she is sponsoring knitwear of the smartest. There is simply no end to novelty, this season, in the realm of knitted togs. As to sweaters, the subject is exhaustless. The vivid, lovely colors of the new sweaters, who can describe them? Especially those in hand-blocked effect setting forth a striking modernistic patterning such as pictured herewith. The silipon type is a great favorite this season, and it is smartest worn with a white jersey or silk knit skirt. A convertible collar, such as styles the sweater if the picture is much to be deired as it adds both to its modishness and its utility. Knitted construction grows more and more complex. All sorts of fancy stitches are called into play to produce openwork stripes and novel lacy effects—in fact the newest things show PARIS CONTINUES BEGUILING S DEVOTEES of the little felt hat refuse to be influenced by the many rumors of its "positively last appearance." Not while the winsome felt persists in staging a continuous performance of new tricks of color and design, not while Paris continues to send over such beguiling new felts, will women of smart dress be persuaded to bid farewell to the snug-fitting felt, which has so long been the hat of her choice. Now that every perfectly appointed wardrobe includes headwear matched to each costume, there is need for hats of every genre from felt to fabric to straw. The exquisite felt types in the picture are an eloquent argument in their own favor. The employment of felt in two tones, is one of the attractions of hat number one in the group. It illustrates how effectively the milliner trims felt with felt this season. Just below this model is a patrician felt style, which introduces a wide GAZETTE Subscribe a these sheer filmy patternings. Quite out of the ordinary is the Turkish towelting knitwork, of which entire suits are made. Horizontal stripes play a colorful and spectacular part in sweaterdown. Compose effects are also high-lighted throughout knitted modes. Another striking feature is the prominence given to black and white combinations. Much of the effectiveness of the season's knitted costumes is due to the accessories, such as a felt or crochet straw hat in color tuned to the ensemble. A bewitching belt of gold kid or embroidered raffla straw, adds charm upon charm. And there is the new printed silk or cotton kerchief, it has entered into the scheme of things with a will. No golf links scene is complete without the picture-esque silk square tied in every capricious way—knotted at front, at shoulder, or just caught with a bar pin. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927. Western Newspaper Union.) TO SEND OVER NUG-FITTING FELTS grosgrain ribbon as a background for an embellishment of tidbits of colorful felt. The shape itself is beige. The modish felt in the lower left corner is handsomely elaborated with an applique of cutout felt leaves and fruit. The next clever model employs two shades of faille silk in connection with leaves of felt which are stencled with gold paint. To the right is a felt of enriched design which displays deft handicraft, also a most exquisite color scheme of rose beige with monkeyskin. For the lovely model at the top to the right, gold tinted thread and colorful jewels unite in achieving the decorative note. There is this to be said of felts, only the finest qualities are now in demand and their coloring must be choice, their styling convincing, in order to win milady's acceptance. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927. Western Newspaper Union.) After Reading KLUX KLAN! CHURCH DEBTS! Segregation was born, many years ago, when Dr. Booker T. Washington 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, are steadily worked for segregation until now there is an increased movement through north to separate (segregate) the two races or classification, public places of accommodation, amusement, etc. This "segregation-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 hard-nosed one which the latter were sure prove and are right, as all knew now. Recently, The Gazette was informed, by those in a position to inform, 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 "Negro" allies were gained by the promise to secure ten thousand dollars and the use of an old, unused building in Woodland an old, unused building in the town of Ancestry, the city, for the proposed jim-crow hospital, this offer does, and the opportunity to handle not only the ten thousand dollars promised but the two-hundred-twenty-two thousand dollars, asked for, which they hoped 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 in this city, additional face of 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 the seventy-five or eighty teachers in the local public schools, some of these are drivers of some of these very same schools 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. The indebtedness of our churches in this community is nearly a half million of dollars. This vast sum our people can never hope to raise among themselves and will have an awful time getting it, if they ever do, from all sources and peoples, local and at a distance. Adding to that sum the one hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollar debt on the new Phillis Wheatley home, the known total aggregates more than a million of our dollars, 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. Then for a few backward "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 seven hundred thousand dollars, and ridiculous and out of the question. This is only emphasized when one recalls the fact that, there is positively no need of a hospital controlled by "Negro" physicians; that it would eventuate into a most harmful "jim-crow" affair, another "Negro" burden on the community; that it could never hope to give the service our people are now enjoying in the community a number of which two African physicians are connected with them, 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 local medical institutions to train as internes, 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 Hopkins to use the courts to compel him to do so, and it will not cost any $220,000 to do this, either. We want our readers, particularly the local ministers, to read carefully and ponder—the following of our local churches' indebtedness: Cory M.
