A committee was appointed which intended to table the matter, but the students next after the banquet, offered resolution on the open floor of the convention deploring the unfortunate and unChristian practice of the convention in shutting out its delegation from the banquet because of color or race, and recommending that after the banquet include all delegates or be abandoned, and that all members should meet at such places as the latter could attend and not at restaurant-luncheons from which they were excluded. a line.

Greenville, Miss.—The crest of the flood has passed on by Vicksburg and the refugees, ten thousand of them huddled in horrible tented accommodations on top of the levees, are patiently waiting for the water to subside sufficiently to permit them to go back to their homes or elsewhere. Hearing rumors that many of them were planning to leave for northern cities as soon as travel reopened, feeling that their present conditions could not be worse and that perhaps the north would offer a new lease on life, orders have been issued that railroad tickets be not sold to them. Our refugees were located on the levees for two reasons, first, because the levees are high enough to keep them out of the water, and, second, because it makes it easy to guard and keep them from getting away. FREE Free? Well, who is? I'm not, you're not. And nobody that I ever saw was. Parents rule their children. And no matter what's said about independence of women, these days, some husbands still rule their wives and vice-versa. Laws of state and country are made by the majority, but the poor minority must abide by them whether they like it or not. You don't dare go out in "bustles" when fashion says straight-lines. And who of us would drive a nineteen-hundred-seven "horseless" carriage beside the new nineteen-twoyewen models? Without can't even commit suicide without the law or some uprising stepping in to save him. Free? Why I should say not! Cora Hogans. 12A English, Longwood High school.—"Longwood Ledger". A. White. Rabist. Punished. St. Paul, Minn.—As a result of a fair and impartial trial a white rapist has been sent to jail for an attack on a young girl of the race. St. Paul, Minn.—As a result of a rape in Atlanta, Ga., as a nursemaid in the family of Wm. P. Hall. The girl under 18 years old, testified that she had received no compensation for her services and had been unlawfully arrested. She had money of her own, and that she had been afraid to tell Hall's assaults because of his threats. Wins Over $30,000 Verdict. Philadelphia, Pa. — George O. Marke, who was at one time deputy chief potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and who was formerly town-clerk of Sierra Leona, Africa, has been awarded judgment against the Garvey movement to the amount of $32,275. Suit was entered to recover six years' salary at the $6,000 contract by which he was to be deputy chief potentate (for life) of the U. N. I. A. He resigned, last August, and sued for due pay. "SOCIAL EQUALITY" As Practiced Generally Throught the South—A Georgia Jailer Father of a Child Born in Prison. Augusta, Ga.—One of our girls, accused of stealing five dollars from her employer, was arrested and accused of jail rape. And she was kept in prison until October, last year, was then convicted and placed in the workhouse. In March, 1927, "unto her" a child was born, whose complexion indicated that there had been some form of social equality indulged in by the mother and some member of the Norc race or another "Enamal" had arrived. Upon examination, the girl testified that the turnkey of the prison was the father of her child; that the "association" was under duress and abject intimidation and compulsion. The matter has been turned over to the Inter-Racial Commission for solution. Turn-key Punckett will probably determine the race of the enamal, social-equality and seek to prove that there is another Mary Magdalene in our midst. Keep in mind that this girl was in jail from March to October. The only contact she had with any male person, between that time, was with the turn-key. If she had been sent to prison, the child would have been born many months earlier. St. Louis, Mo.—Ophelia Lloyd, age 15, of 104 S. Ewing Ave., declares that Morris Danker, (white), of 6044 Suburban Ave., has destroyed her virtue and is the father of her child, in a suit filed against Danker for $20,000 in the circuit court, May 7. Louisville, Ky.—Charles Falone, (white), was given five years in the penitentiary at hard labor and $1000 fine in Criminal Court, May 11, for his brutal attack on Alberta Howard, Afro-American nurse in his family.

ONE OF OUR GIRLS Winning Honors at a Leading East ern Oral History Conference to Abroad to Represent U. Washington, D. C.—One of the leading female educational institutions in this country, Smith College, located at Northampton, Mass., is giving signal distinction to Annette E. Hawkins, daughter of Atty. and Mrs. Wm. L. Hawkins, who won a High School diploma. In this school, this city, to Smith College in 1924. Not only has Miss Hawkins become the leader of her dormitory orchestra, but she acts as tutor in preparing other students for examinations, and was recently asked to be a delegate to represent the State of New York in a conference to be held at Silver Bay, N.Y. in June. There is also to be a Students' European Six-Weeks Tour this summer, with two delegates to be selected from various colleges in the country, and Miss Hawkins has been chosen to make a guest appearance at Smith College. These honors are the results of Miss Hawkins' high standing in her studies. NEW ORLEANS BARRED Because of Its Fool-Pregjudice— President Ruben Binks shows He is New York City—New Orleans invited the National Amateur Athletic Union to hold its track and field championship meet there and it seemed a settled thing that the games would be run off in that city on July 14. New Orleans officials, hearing that our athletes were likely to compete in the games, wrote to Mr. Fred Rubien of this city, president of the Union, and asked that no more America be allowed, giving a reason for this that their presence might give rise to "race troubles." To the everlasting honor of Mr. Rubien, he replied that our athletes were going to compete and that the Union was not in the business of withdrawing athletic privileges from anybody, other wise qualified, on account of his race or complexion. So New Orleans loses the meet. Good! Be it ever so. The Holly Private Sanitarium. West Palm Beach, Fla.—Recently, Dr. Alonzo P.

RELATES OF BEING FREED BY BEECHER The Slave Girl of 67 Years Ago Visits The Scene of Her Church Auction. New York City—Mrs. James E. Hunt, who in 1860, as "Pinky," a seven-year-old slave girl was "sold for freedom" by Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, again took part in the services there, Sunday. Mrs. Hunt, the wife of a lawyer of Washington, D. C., had not revisited the church since Beecher quenched, raised $2,000, or $1,100 more than enough, to buy her freedom. Her return, Sunday, was on the eighteenth anniversary of Mr. Beecher's first sermon in the church. Of the scene when excited men and shouting women threw money and jewelry into the offering plate to only remembered "people weeping" and a remark made to her by Mr. Beecher about a rubber comb in her hair. The preacher, she said, removed the comb and declared: "Never wear anything in your hair except what God put there." Mrs. Hunt, now an aged grandmother, was nicknamed "Pinky" for the color of her cheeks as a little Maria. He said she answered "people diggs. When long years ago, Henry Ward Beecher presented the young slave girl to his congregation, and proceeded to sell her at public auction, asking for gifts totaling $900, the sum necessary to buy the girl's freedom, he imitated the manner and speech of a slave auctioner. Rose Terry, a writer, put a book in the plaque, and Beecher, putting it on the little girl's finger said: "With this ring I thee wed—to freedom." The good Beecher is dead, but the great worker that he did lives on and will ever do no. "THE WORLD DO MOVE"! North Carolina White Students Give Concrete Brace Wonderful Advancement Wilmington, N. C.—Referring to the excellent treatment of James W. Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., when he visited the University of North Carolina, (white), several months ago, where he addressed student-groups, every day, closing with a big mass meeting, "The Tar Heel," official student-paper of the university, makes the following very interesting and appreciative conclusion: "This is no lavish tribute to the liberality of our native state. The writer comes from a state where officers of the law are more successful in the apprehension of Sunday golfers than Negro-lynchers. But when he observes that 'southern hospitality' and 'southern chivalry', once our chief virtues, have become relics of a moribund civilization when he sees, as everyone must, the feeling that huzzah should be raised to the glory of a liberal North Carolina. Your state university has acted her motto—Lux et Libertas." Black and White Wed. Boston, Mass.—Accompanied by the music of guitars, tambourines and a piano, and with the rites of her religious sect, Miss Edith May Alexander, (white), became the bride of Gomez Rodriques, Cape Verde Islander, (black), at the Holy Jumpers' Apostolic Temple here, May 6. Both races turned out on masse to shower spiritual blessings on the newlyweds. Mrs. Rodriques is 26, and was taken to court, as an "incorrigible", by her parents when she insisted on marrying Rodriques. In dismissing her, the judge stated that a woman of her age was considered capable of choosing her own mate. HEY!--WHAT'S THE IDEA?--YOU'RE SHAKING THE HOUSE! I'M IMPROVING MY HEALTH, DAD! POOH!

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1927. We are calling the attention of our many readers, especially those in Cleveland, to the editorial from "The Cincinnati Union" republished on the first page of this paper. Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney has performed a service for us all in that article that cannot be praised too much and the value of which cannot be overestimated. It is simply splendid, a classic. Read it carefully, thoughtfully and see that all of our people in your community, as far as you are able to do so, do likewise. Acknowledging the receipt of a letter from Atty. Frank C. Lyons, "secretary, temporary committee", to attend a meeting, "Wednesday night, May 19th", at Mt. Zion Cong. church to form a "Green For Judge" campaign committee, Geo. A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollenden House barbershop, writes that he is "not for a jim-crow judge", having reference to Wm. R. Green's connection with the defunct "jim-crow" Mercy hospital movement. There are many of our loyal people in this community who feel the same way toward the Green candidacy, and for the same reason. Read the article in columns 6 and 7, page 1, in connection with this. THE N. A. A. C. P. AND LUNA PARK. Luna Park, Cleveland, is notorious for its insulting color-lines, drawn against our people in its dance-hall, roller-rink and bathing pool. Those of us who have self and race-respect will stay out of that park, and not be invigored into going there to patronize any sort of amusement or entertainment. That would be giving the Luna Park management our hard-earned money for gratuitously insulting us. There is no class or race of people in this community except ours who are so discriminated against. Even the lowest of all other classes (races) are welcomed there and permitted to enjoy all of its attractions of variegated kinds. Stay out of color-line Luna Park! We suggest to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. the advisability of breaking down the Luna Park color-lines by invoking the aid of our Ohio Civil Rights law. This would be SERVICE to our people of this community such as that organization has never as yet given, and they are entitled to it because of the hundreds of dollars they have paid into the organization since the inception of the local branch. "EVADING" THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW. Charles Willis Thompson, (white), a wet-dry "philosopher" of Washington, D. C., is quite sure that the eighteenth amendment to the U. S. constitution will never be repealed. Repeal is unnecessary, he says, inasmuch as the people themselves can silently condone or evade any section of the constitution which is obnoxious to them. As an example, Thompson refers to the fifteenth amendment and says: "The South silently decided that this amendment applied only to the North. It took a great many years for the North to discover that there was no use in trying to change this silent amendment." What Mr. Thompson says about the South evading any section of the U. S. Constitution, which is obnoxious to it, is unfortunately true, and this shows, better than anything else, the weakness of our government. That the South is Democratic and our government-control Republican has made absolutely no difference in this sad condition of affairs since the administration of President U. S. Grant. The the very foundation of our government is the ballot and the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, which are "eased" by the South, have vital relation to it, our government has gone on from administration to administration since the days of Grant, nearly all Republican, refusing to recognize the fact that this southern "evasion" is slowly but surely gnawing at its very vitals. What a sad commentary upon our boasted government! What is in store for this country with this condition of affairs continuing? Either it must be changed and ALL sections of the fundamental law of the land, which includes all of its amendments, enforced in the south, and all other sections of this country, or this republic must eventually fail. There can be no question as to this. The strenuous efforts, apparently being made by the government, to enforce the eighteenth amendment ought to be overshadowed by those being made to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, because of the latter's far greater importance to the perpetuity of our government. They are vital! This is not necessarily true of the eighteenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Charles Willis Thompson's statement given above ought to be dinned into the ears of every thoughtful, loyal American citizen. PRIME SPORT NEWS Portland, Ore., May 18—Tiger Flowers, middleweight of Georgia, won a decision from Al Walters, in en-round bout here, Tuesday night. 55 And Still Playing. Buffalo, N. Y. —Homer Johnson second baseman of the Elite Elks our local professional ball club, is 55 years old but cavorts around the keystone sack like a sixteen-year-old. Going some, eh? Flowers Whips Wiggins. Grand Rapids, Mich.—Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion, outpointed Chuck Wiggins of Indianapolis in a ten-round boxing contest here, last week Friday night, earning a shade by a strong finish A Coming Star. If the fifth annual Lakewood relays, recently, were like other schoolboy meets there, plenty of new records were set up. Al Breaux our East Tech representative, has been leading his team to wins over other schools. He steps in the dashes and paces on the relay teams. Nine records were smashed in the 1925 relays. Eight date back to 1925. All 1924 marks, except the discus heavens, were bettered in 1925 and 1926. The triumphs ever turned out by an East Side school clipped a few records at Lakewood Field, last week Saturday. Breaux has been scuffing the dust at many tracks, this season. He runs in the 100 and 220-yard dashes and on the one-quarter mile relay squad. He was the leading scorer in East Tech's victory over West Tech. Howard Wins National Open Meet Washington, D. C.—Howard University collected 91 points to win the National open track and field meet for our athletes at Howard stadium, last Saturday, while Cheney and Dunbar tied with 33 points each for first honors in the scholastic events. Goalie Alexis Moor Gus Moore, leading Afro-American collegiate stars of the East, gave exhibitions. Cook displayed his speed in the 440 and a special relay. Major of St. Bonaventure, which finished second to Howard in the open events, cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 inches. The team here showed his heels in the cars and two miles despite a wet track. Some 3,500 persons braved the drizzling rain to see them in action. Trophies were awarded the winning teams, both Cheney and Dunbar getting first place awards. Medals were presented the first three to finish in each event. Mrs. Ruth Rufus, age 31, 3229 E. 34th Pl. refused to go back to her husband from whom she had separated. Police say he slashed her so badly with a knife at her home, Saturday night, that she was taken to St. Alexis' hospital in a serious condition. Monday, police were holding the husband. Robert Carter, age 23, 2547 E. 47th St., who attempted to open safe the Bowler House, Coho, 4455 Cuyahoga Heights, with a pickax, last week Tuesday night, while he held a watchman at bay with a knife, was given an indeterminate term in Mansfield reformatory. Friday. Wilburn E. Stepp, accused in the killing of Rufus Tillman, last week Friday was sentenced to three to twenty years in the penitentiary. Stepp, who lived at 2228 E. 80th St., admitted shooting Tillman in a hurried over door to defend Stepp. After sentence was passed, Stepp thanked the judge for giving him so able an attorney. "He was great", Stepp said. THE GEEVUN THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1927. Additional Locals The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation, sent by the board of trustees and faculties of Howard University, Washington, D. C., to be present at the inauguration of Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson as president of the university, on Friday, June 10, 27, at 3 p. m., on the university campus. Dr. Quinn F. Montgomery, dentist, located at 2604 Central Ave., was among the callers at The Gazette office. Tuesday afternoon Dr. Montgomery is a Cleveland "boy", son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Frank Montgomery of the East End, whose success in his profession is a matter of very general local pride among our people, especially the older residents. Rev. D. E. Skelton, pastor of Cory M. E. church for four years, as announced in a recent issue of The Gazette, was transferred to a charge in Paris, Ky. His successor is Rev. S. E. Grannum who comes here from Chicago to E. Church. Chicago highly recommended E. Church, highly esteemed Cincinnati contemporary, "The Union". W. P. Dabney, editor, had the following to say of Rev. Grannum in the recent issue: "Many of our citizens will receive with great regret the news that Dr. Stanley E. Grannum will visit M. T. Zion on Walnut Hills to Cory M. E. church of Cleveland. That church has a membership of 2500 people. It is next to the largest in the conference. In this city, Dr. Grannum made a wonderful record. He built Mt. Zion M. E. church, established its wonderful modern working kitchen and recently edited a year book and directory that really contains a wealth of church information. Dr. Grannum is young, wide awake, progressive. He has always been a subscriber to 'The Union' and valued 'Cincinnati's Colored Citizens' (Editor Dabney's splendid book of the mournful people). He knows how essential it is for a minister to keep up-to-date. We congratulate him upon his preferment and congratulate the congregation that gets him." Bishop Brooks Sent $5,000 Washington, D. C.—The A. M. E. Church cabled Bishop Sampson W. Brooks $5,000 with which to clear up his debts in Liberia, Africa, and come home. This information was given out by Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the connection. Bishop Brooks was recently imprisoned in Liberia for debt and later freed. The U. S. State Department is still investigating the arrest.

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. ©. (Special). There is wore segregation tn) Washington today under President Coolidge than there hus ever been fuince the Civil War. The beginnings Of segregation Were under Mresident Yaft, It was greatly extended, un der President Wilson; incrbased, sull turther, under President Hard- tag; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. or instance, tne largest. of our parks President Wilson never troubled, Dut the pres- ent administration has found time ‘and desire to introduce St even there. To many people, segregation ls a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft in- troduced It in the bureau of engray- ing. 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, an- nounced in his official capacity that Negroes shald not hold office where white people complained. Ses- Tegation, then, 1s a Republican in- stitution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing ¢x- tent by Republicans! ‘Dhere is far more of st in the de- partments, today, than at any time Since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- Tee, which makes it next to impos ‘ibie for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since thelr color is disclosed in their photo- graph which must accompany their papers, 18 tenaciously held on to by Our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph had failed -to tell her true folor, and they flatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commis- sioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will hot appoint a Negro clerk, and his word 1s law there, as he is the spec- {al favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails trom North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the seg- regation forces, Col. Sherrill, super- intendent 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 segre- gation in the departments of the government, and the photograph feauirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at 3 loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on Gemocracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a Single vole and where he has full power and obsolutely no opposition. ‘They wonder it he is not » firm be- Hever in segregation, especially since segregation 1 one of the chief ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “welcome home” in the Republican party, and recelves no condemnation from the Republican President, (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postof- five segregat‘on is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The —departrient maintains a spacious cafteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing tuncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfor, disadvantage- ous as it is, is far less galling to the coiored clerks than 1s 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 mora when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intellt- gent and efficient service—the white man of thelr attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even farther tu {ts solicitude for whives and neg- lect of colored. It maintains a well- appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployees. ‘This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, 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 {nvitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored. to attend a re- ception to the heads of depaytments, including the postmaster general, in the pestofties building. It announced dancine and a pleasant social eve- ning with the officials for “the post- office employees.” yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster coneral the day before it was to! come of, and be ordered the post- master 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 ex- amination was superior No Negro, however efficient or vld ia the serv- ice, 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 col- ored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often ‘appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general, It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin, (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—rhe govern- ment 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 inferier positions there on ac- count of the better and more lacra~ five avenues of employment being closed to them because of their col- of. ‘The whites gre generally of a very mediocre group, far from equal- ing our girls In educational equip- ment, culture, and working efficien- cy. Yet these superior girls are set off trom the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities," There 1s 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. Tam glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize ‘the place, preferring a little physical incon- Yenience to the open, semi-public hu- miliation 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 whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- arles. ‘The whites have a large recrea- tional 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 employees s0 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 ab- ruptly stopped, and the young man reported for ‘attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being “one of those smart Negroes” who believe in “social equality,” and then dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge. He was ‘@ night-employee, hence he carried & pistol. Right after the dance in- cident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. De- tectives came to the building to ar- rest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to dis- cover the pistol. They quickly drop- ped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dis- missed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have ex- pressed their deeply-wounded teel- Ings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose In- stitutions they are serving so faith- tally, and Ihave taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of ex- ist, and a request for the names of my informants. T knew the fate thesa informants would suffer s0 1 have never given a single name!! The de- partment then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. Tt is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation Is a difficult thing to Aight, since the goverument is 80 well seitied upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness’ ro It. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Wood- row Wilson and members of his fam- ily, three heroic young colored wom- en who lost their positions as a re- sult of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. ‘tian da the White Bouse. &. mem. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0. SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1927. ver of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought ot race. ' Shortly thereatter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been not- ed for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon tntimate 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 col- ored people to stay in their places.” Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last diteh and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a pro- test with Secretary McAdoo to no Javail, and his noble wife began a ‘crusade against the undemocratic in- ‘novation, She took the platform here in Washington and Boston be- fore the famous Twentieth Century club, She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the na- tional gathering of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Os- wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Na- tion 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, name- ly, the elimination of the ‘colored employees from the bureau alt o- gether. ‘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 /braham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Dou g)ass helped to found. Our girls are em- ployed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the pub- lic service. THEY ARE SEGRE GATED in thelr rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of coursé none are ever thought of for promo- tions to executive places. They ar¢ girls from our best nomes, most of them with high an normal schoo training, and fine culture.

(Spectal to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the Presi- dent's recent acceptance speech, Is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamil- ‘ton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of his- tory that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P, Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lin: coln’s cabinet, who, in a national ex- tremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master finan- cier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! |The present head of the dcpart- ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not ap- pointed a colored clerk since his in- cumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted sev- eral of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necess!- tated, this is by far the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are so scarce there that they can’t be noticed. There Js the same general complaint here among our clerks and other en:ployees as there fs In the other branches of the gov- ernment—failure to recognize their eMichencs, when promotions are duet ability té 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 tollets, lock- er rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toflets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconven- fence at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they de- sire the use of them. The depart- ment maintains a huge. magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland: along our national drive- way, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and s0- clalize 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 din- ers with space te spare: but not one | Negro! His only share is in the taxes he {is forced to pay for this, luxury for another group! The registership of the treasury. which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield ap-| polnted Blanch K. Bruce. is now, filled by a white man. and the col- ored people are congregated in a sep- arate room which is publicly pro- claimed as “a colored division." When {t is discovered that Negro clerks are “working as white” in other divisions, they are promptly transfered to this “colored division.””| Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogetner; so they remain in a dilemna, tearing to act. Our clerks must accept 52 gregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this Southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economle stress com- pels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segrega- tion, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku. Klux Kian.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY, {@ 1921, Western Newnpener Galen.) “PHILLIS WHEATLEY" ticularly those in Cleveland, to read what Miss Mabel Head, general sec- retary of the Cleveland Y. W. C. A., said, Sunday afternoon, May 1, 1927, in her address at Alliance, ‘Ohio, The oceasion was the dedi- cation of the new “¥" building there. Miss Head is reported, by our Alliance representative, to have said: “The Y. W. ©. A. is open and free to all women and girls, regard- Jess of race or color. “AIL are wel come and a great work is to be done in behalf of humanity.” What is uppermost’ in our mind just at this time is, was Miss Head Speaking for the Alliance “Y", or for the Cleveland “Y", or for. the Y. W. C. A. thruout the North? In connection with this, we re- call an Alliance incident, of some months ago, which is "pertinent. Some of our people there who came North from “down home”, in recent years, effected a temporary organi- zation to promote a “jim-crow” Y. W. C. A. and approached leading white ladies of that elty for finan- clal assistance, ‘The latter. frankly and truthfully told them that they were too few in number to finance ‘or maintain a “¥", and invited our [people of Alliance to join with them in promoting the mew “Y" building, then in course of construction, and to become members of the organi- zation. This invitation, it seems, was accepted with the result noted in Miss Head's speech and also. in the Alliance letter published, last week, in this paper, Miss Head undoubtedly had refer- ence to the Alliance “Y", But whether she had in mind the Cleve- land “Y", and others in the North, at least, is what is agitating ug just at this ‘time because we also recall another incident. This one happen- ed in Cleveland, years ago, when some of our local ministers, led by Dr. Horace C. Bailey, were’ making a determined effort to secure mem- bership in the Cleveland Y. W. ©. A. for several eligible young ladies of the race but were “sidetracked” by Mrs. Levi T. Schofield, then its president, She refused the membership sought, and, with several other wealthy white women, promoted “for colored girls” the Phillis Wheatley home which they and their successors (white) established and made what it is today. Miss Jane Hunter (or Miss Jennie Hunter as. she was known at that time) being used by them simply as a means, in part, to an end. Naturally, our leading and thoughtful people of those years op- posed the white women’s effort to close the doors of the local “¥” to our girls and establish the P. W. A. in which to segregate them. They, and not Miss Hunter, made the P. W. A. what it is and only the op- position of our old, leading and thoughtful residents “is what kept them from making it a ‘\jim-crow” branch Y. W. C. A.—a Dlack tail to a white kite”. “So it has remained, thra the years, practically a big boarding-house for our girls which we are frank to say has become ‘useful as such since the great influx ‘of our people from the South in the last ten years. More: A Mrs. Baldwin, (white), a trustee or director of the P. W. A. was not entirely within her rights, a few weeks ago, when rail- ing against our people of this com- munity because many overly exuber- fant and notoriety-seeking “Negroes” subscribed ums aggregating $168,- 000 to the P. W. A. building fund, which sums many of them never in- tended to pay, nor can ever pay, it being openly whispered at the time that they would never be required to pay. She was not entirely within (her rights because prejudiced white Women of this city forced the P. W. A. upon our people of this commu- nity In the face of earnest protests and our ministers’ insistence that the Cleveland Y. W. C. A. admit our girls to membership in common with those of all other nationalities or raceg in this city, just as is e- ing done at Alliance ‘and possibly in other cities and towns here in the North. Therefore, if our people, in their financial assistance fail’ to meet the expectations and desires of Mrs. Baldwin, and her associates in the control and conduct of the P. W. A., neither she nor they have the full right to feel as she evidently felt when writing the recent article for publication in the P. W. A. or- kan in which she inveighed bitterly against local ‘Afro-Americans in gen- eral because $158,000 of the $168,- 000, subseribed to the P. W. A. building fund, had not been paid by the subseribers of color. We sincerely trust’ that Miss Head, general secretary of the Cleve- land Y. W. C. A., in her recent ad- dress at Alliance was speaking also for other “Y's, (particularly the one in Cleveland) as well as for the Alliance “Y" when she uttered the Sentences quoted in the first part of this leader. It certainly is high time all so-called GHRISTIAN or- ganizations in this prejudiced coun- try were opening their doors to our people in common with those of all others just as is apparently being done by the Alliance Y.
