ADMITS WEDDING AN ITALIAN COUNT
Josephine Baker, the Stage Artist, Harlem's Dancing Darling, Had Him Looked Up Before the Knot Was Tied—Her remarkable Career Abroad.
Paris, France.—Besieged by scores of newspaper men and photographers who crowded into her dressing room between acts at the Follies Bergere, last week Tuesday night, Josephine Baker, the first Afro-American countess, corroborated the announcement of her marriage to an Italian count in Paris, June 3, at the Italian consulate. "I don't know a word of Italian, but my husband, the count, will teach me, and I'll teach him English. Meantime, we'll struggle to pop up," said Mia La Comtesse Popio D'Abba. She arrived in Paris, two years ago, known; is a most popular stage favorite in Paris today, and will continue all her activities the same as before her marriage. Born in St. Louis, this young woman with the laughing eyes was a chorus girl of no importance, two years ago. Then she went to Europe with a troupe of Afro-Americans, drifted to the Follies Bergere and made herself famous by her wonderful dancing and the amazing way she had of shedding her shoes. She danced there at night, at the early morning at noon, and in the early morning at her supper-club in Montmartre. Scores of European newspapers are hallering her as "Josephine, the Second," mindful of the Creole who married a meek little lieutenant of the French army more than a century ago and later became empress.
"CONGAREE SKETCHES"
The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a book, from the University of North Carolina Press, entitled "Congaree Sketches" by Dr. E. C. Adams (white) of Columbia, S. C. The book is a collection of stories of "Negro" life in the Congaree swamps; stories of pathos, tragedy and humor which are not easily forgotten. The stories are actually preached in "Negro" were actually preached in "Negro" Many of the tales were first told by "Negroes" around the camp fire or in Dr. Adams's lodge in the Congaree, and others, like "Big Charleston" and "Jedge Foolbird" were based on actual occurrences. The effect of reality which they give is no illusion, and it took artistry to preserve it but it was not artificially created. Those of our readers desiring a copy of Congaree Sketches should write the University of North Carolina Press- of Chapel Hill, N.C., enclosing two dollars.
WAS HE FROM "DOWN HOME"?
An Alleged Hindu Prince Breaks Up a White Family and is Sent to the Ohio Penitentiary For Five Years.
A divorce in which the alleged Hindu prince, Wilboro Baryakalamanyon, who claimed that he had had a marriage with a butler and was heir to a throne and a fortune in Hindustan, was named as correspondent, was heard by Common Pleas Judge Baer, Monday. The decree was granted to Joseph Hammerly, Chippewa lake, on a cross petition filed by him against his wife, Katherine Hammerly, 3297 Silsby Rd., Cleveland Heights, who started the suit. The alleged clamour after, between the physician and Mrs. Hammerly, started about two years ago, according to testimony brought out in the trial, while Joseph was out of town most of the time. Wilboro was arrested on a charge of defrauding an inkeeper and sentenced to the penitentiary for from one to five years. This terminated the close friendship. Custody of a four-year-old daughter, Dorothy, was given to Joseph, while Donald, I. remained with his mother. The decree was granted on the basis of fidelity. The Hammerlys were married in Texas in 1901.
The charge upon which Wilboro was arrested and sentenced to penitentiary for five years impresses us as having been manufactured for a purpose obvious and leads us to think that possibly the alleged Hindu prince was only a "sick brother from Delhi," and that the reason for it, Mrs. Hammerly is from Texas, living in Cleveland Heights where kluxers are more or less numerous.

NEW SERVICE VIA ERIE.
The "C. & B. Line" Will Start It, Next Tuesday—The Palatial Steamer, "Goodtime"—More Good News.
The Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company announces a new service in addition to their special express service, each night, between Cleveland and Buffalo. Beginning, July 5th, their palatial steamer, the "City of Erie", will leave Cleveland at 4:30 p. m. alternate days, stopping at Erie at 4:30 p. m. at 12 midnight, reaching Buffalo at 6 a. m. Returning, the steamer leaves Buffalo at 5:30 p. m., stopping at Erie at 10:30 p. m., and leaving at 12 o'clock midnight, arriving in Cleveland at 6 a. m., eastern standard time. This gives "C. & B. Line" passengers an opportunity to enjoy daylight rides out of Cleveland and out of Buffalo, adding to the scenic beauty of the lake trip. This new steamer service will add another delightful lake route for the enjoyment of the scenic beauty of the lake. Reach Cleveland tired from train or auto travel, and who wish to spend a night on board a palatial steamer, traveling while they rest. For the convenience of those who travel by train, rail tickets between Cleveland and Buffalo are good on the C. & B. Line steamers. And as for the motorist, he can drive his car on board the steamer and arise in the morning refreshed from a night's rest, and some two hundred miles farther two hundred miles an if he had stopped at a local hotel.
The daily excursions to Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay, via C. & B. Line steamer, "Goodtime", the finest day-out steamer on the great lakes, are proving more popular this season than ever before. Its moonlight rides, every night, also show an increased patronage. Many organizations and clubs have chartered the boat for an evening as this proves a novel way to entertain on summer days. The excellent C. & B. Line orchestra adds to the popularity of the steamer and free dancing is a part of the daily schedule on both its daytime and evening trips.

AND DENOUNCES OPPOSITION TO BILL PROVIDING FOR A MONUMENT TO THEM IN FRANCE.
Our People Failed to Rally to Col. Fish's Support as They Should—Gen. Bullard's Notoriously False Charge of Cowardice—Southern Congressmen and U. S. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania Kill the Bill—Our Interests Vitally Affected.
Indianapolis, Ind.—Speaking, last week Thursday night, to a mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. in annual conference here, Congressman Richard R. McCain vigorous attack upon those who had impugned the courage and loyalty of our soldiers in the World War, including in his denunciation Gen. Bullard. Colonel Fish himself com- mands Army forces troops at the front during the war.
"Fellow Americans", said Mr. Fish opening his address, "I use the words deliberately as there is no group of people in the United States who have been more loyal or patriotic in both peace and war. There are twelve allied forces in the battle exception of the N. A. A. C. P, a few colored editors (the editor of The Gazette being one of them) and Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, I received very little help in my attempts to secure the passage of the bill introduced in Congress by me, appropriating $30,000 to erect a monument on the battlefield of France to four gallant Afro-American combat regiments. The proposed plan was to erect a monument at Sechault, France, in commemoration of the war service of the 369th, 371st and 372nd regiments all of which were attached to the four of which had their flags decorated with the French war cross for gallantry on the field of battle. These four regiments had in killed and wounded approximately forty per cent of their effects. They received more than 400 individual decorations for extraordinary heroism offensively. The gallant conduct of individual Afro-American soldiers in modern warfare.
Bill Refutes Bullard's False Charge.
"My bill passed the U. S. House of Representatives after bitter opposition from southern members and was reported by the U. S. Senate committee, which by the single objection of Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania when the bill was reached on the calendar, thus depriving twelve million of colored citizens who contributed their blood, treasure and efforts to help the war from receiving proper and grateful compensation," the Congress of the United States. A dozen or more monuments have been allocated to white divisions but none to colored troops in the sector in which they fought. Although my bill only calls for an appropriation of $30,000 it is by far the most imminent legislation affecting the colored people ered in the last Congress, as its passage would have been a complete refutation of the false charge made by Gen. Bullard against the Afro-Amer-

colored soldier is just as dear to his mother, his wife and his family as that of any other ever born.
"I do not propose to offer this bill again unless it is at the united demand of the colored people of America whose interests are vitally affected. If the colored mothers and fathers and veterans themselves cannot unite on this bill, they cannot on anything and their political influence will be reduced to a minimum.
"Southern congressmen said they opposed the bill because they were opposed to segregation and Senator Reed re-echoed this false logic. The fact is that the colored soldiers were drafted into the service as "Negroes" regiments where they fought and but when it comes to commemorating their deeds and of those who paid the supreme sacrifice, the cry of segregation is raised. There is only one way to secure the passage of such a bill and that is by making your wishes known to your U. S. government in certain terms individually, and that your political, fraternal and church organizations.
"All we ask is that the unjust discrimination against the courage and war services of the Afro-American soldier be done away with and that a battle monument be erected in the will be for all time an inspiration to loyalty, patriotism and heroism for all the colored people of America."
Nor Were or Are Our Men or Youths' Refused the Use of the Elyria "Y" Swimming Pool, Says President J. F. Burke.
Editor, Cleveland Daily News:— The Elyria Y. M. C. A. did not refuse the privilege of using its pool to Ted Hansbary of Oberlin college, the young Cleveland Afro-American athlete who was drowned in the chilly waters of a creek while practicing recently with the Oberlin swimming team.
Hansbary and the team never appeared here, he never was refused and we have had contests where colored men have participated. Colored youths are swimming here, today. They were here last week and that condition is not unusual.
Neither directly or indirectly was the Elyria Y. M. C. A. responsible for the sad death of your Hansbary. We resent Rev. D. O. Walker's published declaration, which is absolutely unfair toward the Elyria Y. M. C. A.
I ask that The Cleveland News give adequate publicity to this denial. The statement that the white members of the Oberlin swimming team refused to visit the Elyria Y. M. C. A. unless their colored teammate was permitted to swim there without foundation.

SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927.
Poor Ted Hansbary is dead. He was a good boy, a fine athlete and popular with members of both races. Let his white student comrades at Oberlin College "turn on the light". President Coolidge, continuing his refusal to appoint Afro-Americans to desirable places in the government's service, has appointed a man by the name of Woods of Kansas City as register of the U. S. treasury. Now listen to the explanations of the few remaining "Coolidge Negroes" and hold your noses while doing so.

Whether Wilboro Baryakalaman you is a Hindu prince, as claimed by him, or just "a slick brother from down home", he sure was "going some", and for some time, with a Texas white woman as his "subject". Five years in the Ohio penitentiary is hardly enough for a scoundrel who will enter the sacred precincts of a home in any capacity, be trusted and then befoul it.
Madam La Comtesse Popito Di Abafino sounds pretty good, at least to Josephine Baker, Afro-American and the most popular stage artist at least in France, who recently married an Italian count. But our advice to "Jo" is to put her hand on her pocket-book and keep it there, or she may have the heart-rending financial experience so many American women (white), who have married titled foreigners, have had to their everlasting sorrow.
---
Georgia kluxers have broken out again. They have not been overly active in that state for several years owing doubtless to internal dissensions in the organization, particularly in that state. This time, they gave a white woman eighty-two lashes on her bare back. She is in a hospital convalescing. That is really fine "business" for such "one hundred percent Americans"—taking the law in their own hands" and beating a woman. And the Georgia authorities will "stand for it", too.
Rev. D. O. Walker's communication, published in a local daily paper the first of the week, was an excellent production from a literary and racial viewpoint, but Ex-State Senator John F. Burke, president of the Elyria Y. M. C. A., "pulled all the teeth out of it" with a sweeping denial that Ted Hansbary, deceased, or any other member of the race had been or is refused the use of the Elyria "Y's" swimming pool. There was much truth in Dr. Walker's communication that applies to dozens of other "Y's, if not the Elyria "Y".
J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, and the other highest officials of our Elks, have issued their printed proclamation notifying the members of the order throut the country that this year's annual meeting will be held in Cleveland instead of New York City, as first planned. The editor of The Gazette received a copy of this proclamation, last week. Therefore, the publication in a local daily newspaper, Tuesday, announcing that the meeting would be held in Newark, N. J., Aug. 22 to 27, is undoubtedly a mistake.
WHO IS MAURICE KAHN?
Our last issue carried a well-written article headed, "Stand By Your Race", which was written by Mr. Maurice Kahn.

Our reply invariably was, "he is the man who voluntarily came, as a speaker, to the assistance of our people of ward 11 who, a few years ago, made such a desperate and in part successful effort to rid that section of the city of the political dominance of "Starlight" Boyd, Councilman Tom

General Grant's Tomb on Riverside Drive, New York, Overlooking the Famous Hudson River
COMMANDING a magnificent view and surrounded by beautiful lawns, in New York, is the tomb of General U. S. Grant, who died July 23, 1885, and whose preference as well as that of his family led to his interment in New York. The site of the present monument was set apart by the city both because of its natural beauty and because here a memorial building would be visible from many distant points in the city, harbor and river. Five years passed between the laying of the cornerstone by President Harrison and dedication of the building. The total cost of approximately 800,000 was contributed by about 90,000 donors.
The body of General Grant rests in a sarcophagus hawn from a single flawless block of red porphyry, closed by a massive lid of the same lustrous material. A duplicate beside it contains the body of Mrs. Grant.

Fleming, "Boss" Maurice Maschke and Mayor Fitzgerald, and which section had the misfortune of having their candidate for the city council, the elected, counted out. Mr. Kahn rendered splendid service during that campaign and on several occasions since, at the special request of local members of the race. He is a deep thinker and splendid speaker, his style being argumentative rather than oratorical; very pleasing, indeed. While of the Jewish faith, Mr Kahn is not a member of any synagogue or temple. He is broad-minded, affable and very companionable. His article, last week, was not the first The Gazette has published, written by him, but is one of the best. For years, Mr. Kahn has been in the employ of The May and Bailey companies, being connected with the former at this time. The editor of this paper regards him as not only a friend of the race but also as a personal friend.
MUST LEARN TO PUNISH.
Col. Hamilton Fish, Jr., in his speech at Indianapolis, last week, a goodly portion of which appears elsewhere in this paper, said: "There is only one way to secure the passage of such a bill (to erect a monument on the battlefield of France to the four gallant Afro-American combat regiments that fought so bravely on French soil in the World War) and that is by making them known to your U. S. senators and congressmen in no uncertain terms, individually, and thru your political, fraternal and church organizations".
The colonel had previously spoken of the defeat of his bill by the last congress to accomplish this very thing. What he said was all very good as far as he went but he did not go far enough. In his speech, he should have also told our people of Pennsylvania and the entire country to oppose the re-election to the U. S. Senate of Mr. Reed of Pennsylvania, and any other U. S. senators who opposed the bill, if they ever stand as candidates for any office again. Our people must learn the lesson of striking back not only in defense of their rights, privileges and other interests but also for the purpose of punishing, as far as they are able to do so, all men in public office who oppose measures of vital and prime interest to the race, like Col. Hamilton Fish, Jr.'s monument bill. We are pleased to say that the writer was one of the "few colored editors" who did all in his power to help secure the passage of the bill, in the last Congress.

James F. Greene, E. R. of King Tutt lodge; Lena G. Brown, D. R. of Mary B. Talbert temple; Charles S. Smith, E. R. of Cuyahoga lodge, and Anna E. Craighead, D. R. of Glenaria Temple, with W. W. William, district deputy, presiding, have appointed a general committee to arrange for the entertainment of the national convention of Elks to congratulate Tom Fleming and Tom Fleming is chairman of the general committee; J. W. Turk and Mrs. Mollie DeBraun, associate chairmen; Atty. Perry B. Jackson, sec.; Sidney
B. Thompson, grand-master of social sessions, is chairman of the entertainment committee which has already made the sad mistake of securing color-line Luna Park for some of the festivities. The street carnival, this year, will be held in Thackeray Ave. The headquarters of the general committee will be in the Elks' new home, 2226 E. 55th St.
For the second successive year Cleveland will act as host for 35,000 to 40,000 members of our grand lodge of Elks who will again have their annual convention here, Aug. 21 to 28. The selection was announced, Friday, by J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., grand exalted ruler, in preference to New York City, because of ordinances there restricting the wearing of emblems and garments. The local "grand lodge" committee is making preparations for the visitors. Housing of delegates will be in the hands of A. D. Wynne of the Frazier, Wynne & Lewis Co.
On June 13, at Gethsemane Baptist church, our local Baptist ministers' conference endorsed the candidacy of Wm. R. Green for "muny" judge; Clayton George for councilman in the 4th district and Dr. E. J. Carr for the district. That was taken, Green left and Dr. C. C. Ailier informed the conference that their endorsement of his candidacy would not amount to anything and that they were wasting time as far as Green was concerned because he could not be elected; that they were candidates for re-election and who would be re-elected regardless of the candidacy of Green or others. When asked why he did not make this statement while Mr. Green was present, Dr. Ailier's reply was: "The candidates who were in追击 go ahead and do what it wanted in the matter because the members thought they knew so much."
A Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to our many friends, the members and daughters of the Knights of Tabor, the Mosaic Templars, the Independent order of St. Luke, the Daughters of Moose (lodge) and the Cloak Circle in for their kindness and sympathy in the bereavement of our beloved wife and mother, Susie Booth, John Booth,

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting
Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This
Rank Injustice?
Washington, D. ©. (Special).
—There is more segregation tn
Washington today under President
Coolidge than there has ever been
since the Civil War. The beginnings
of segregation were ander President
att. It was %reatly extended, un-
der President Wilson; increased,
atill further, under President Hard-
ing; and reached its zenith under
President Coolidge. Sor instance;
the largest of our parks President
Wilson never troubled, Dut the pres-
ent administration bas found time
fand desire to introduce it even there.
To many people, segregation is a
Democratic schemé of insult, but
such is not the case. Mr. Taft in-
‘troduced it in the bureau of engrav-
ing. He segregated the census-takers
in this city in 1910, restricting white
workers to white people, and black
to black, often duplicating work ss
most blocks had white and black
residents. And, worst of all, an-
hounced in ils official capacity that
Negroes shald not hold office
where waite people complained. Ses-
regation, then, is a Republican in-
stitution aad not a Democratic one.
It was begun by Republicans, and
carried on to its all-embracing x-
vent by Republicans!
‘There is far moro of it in the de-
partments, today, than at any time
Since the Negro frst appeared, close
upon the close of the Civil War, The
picture requirement in the civil serv-
ice, which makes it next to impos-
sible for a colored lady or gentleman
to enter the civil service, since thelt
color is disclosed in their photo-
graph which must accompany their
Papers, 1s 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 wy the department, The photo
graph had- failed te tell her true
eolor, and they flatly refused to ap-
point ber when she appeared, and
hey saw her complexion. Commis-
sioner Blair, of the internal revenue
bureau with’ thousands of clerks will
not appoint a Negro clerk, amd his
word 8 law there, as he Js the spec:
lal 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-
‘ntendent 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
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 obsolutely no opposition.
Mey wonder if he is not a firm be-
ever in segregation, especially since
segregation is one of the chief ten-
ets 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 postor-
five segregation 1s\ rampant. ‘The
faithful colored clerks work under
constant humiliation and physical
disadvantages. The department
maintain a spacious cafteria for
whites gniy, 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 discomfory, disadvantage-
ns as it is,'Is tar less galling to the
eo.ored clerks than is the thought of
thetr government taking thelr taxes,
as it takes those of the whites, for
the comfort of the latter, and setting
them off as though they were lepers.
‘The injustice stings all the more
when they reflect that they are far
more capable than the whites, and
fender the government more tntelli-
gent and efficient service—the white
fnan of their attainment being able
to get far more lucrative employ-
ment.
‘The department goes even farther
tn Its solfcieude for whives and neg-
Hct of, colored. Te mamncains 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 1s 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 pree-
ence of the colored, to attend a re-
peption to the heads of departments,
Including the postmaster general, in
the Dotoffice building. It announced
@ancine and a pleasant social eve-
ning with the officials for “the post-
office employes,” yet not one was
Gelivered to the colored clerks. T
hurried a protest to the postmaster}
earal the @ay before it was to
come off, and he ordered the post-
master to invite the colored as well
ag the white. These clerks get
around their colored co-workers by
giving the function at a local hotel.
It is inevitable that the wicked
apirit 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 old in the serv-
ice, must ever dream of a promotion
toa directive position, The hard,
unylelding 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 trom 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.
(Spetial to ‘The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C.—The govern-
ment printing office keeps faith wit
the government's universal scheme of
segregation, Some of the best and
brightest ot our girls are forced to
accept Inferier positions there on ac-
count of the better and more lucra-
five avenues of employment being
closed to them because of their col-
or. ‘The whites are generally of a
tery mediocre group, far from equal-
Ing our girls In educational equip-
ment, culture, and working efficien-
cy, Yet these superior xirls 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 all of
the employees may go, but there are
a few tables in an out-of-the-way
section reserved for our employees.
Lam glad to say that few, very few,
of our people patronize ‘the place,
preferring a Mttle physical incon-
venience to the open, semi-public hu-
miliation of segregation.
In tollet facilities, dressing-rooms,
and work assignments, wherever
possible, the law of segregation is in
full force, and, of course, this same
undemocratic practice reveals itself
on the salary roll and in the hard
caste that bars promotions. Here,
as elsewhere, the inferior whites
Dass over our superior employees to
Girective positions, and higher sal-
aries,
‘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 Atro-
‘American with a splendid record in
his work, felt the injustice of this
exclusion of our 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 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 tor being “one of
those'emart Negroes” who believe in
“social equality,” and then dismiss-
ed on a trumped-up charge. He was
a night-employee, hence he carried
a pistol. Right after the dance in-
cident a fire broke out in the office.
He was quickly accused of setting
the building afire in revenge for his
exclusion from the dance floor. De-
tectives came to the building to ar-
rest him, and ‘failing to secure any
evidence searched him only to dis-
cover the pistol. They quickly drop-
ped the arson charge and substituted
‘one for carrying concealed weapons
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
thelr government (under President
Coolidge) gives them.
Many of the employees have ex-
pressed their deeply-wounded tecl-
ings to me at being considered a
pariah by the government whose in-
stitutions they are serving so faith-
fully, and I have 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. I knew the fate these
informants would suffer s0 I have
never given a single name!! The de-
partment then taking the position
that it cannot take up the case. It
is perfectly clear that this iniquitous
scheme of segregation {s a difficult
ching to fight, since the government
is so well settled upon it, and the
complaingn's cannot bear witness

(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 herofe 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.
Wilson to the White House, a mem-
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0. SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927
ver or nis 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 segregatica of the races,
and a white lady who had been not-
ed for her philanthropy among our
people and who Was upon intimate
terms at the White House appeared
at the bureau to tell our girls to be
contented with the new order as ‘a
great Negro leader had taught col-
ored people to stay in their places.”
‘Three of the young ladies resisted
‘the order to the last ditch and were
summarily dismissed!
Senator La Follette lodged a pro-
test with Secretary McAdoo to no
avail, 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. BM. 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 alto:
gether.
‘The same segregation which some
of our people think is the cherished
institution of the Democratie part;
is still there, in all of its fullness
under the administration of th
party that bratiam Lincoln, Charles
Sumner and Frederick Douglas
helped to found. Our girls are em
ployed there in far larger mumber
than in any other branch of the pub
lie service. THEY ARE SEGRE
GATED in thelr rest rooms, toilets
and working stations, and of cours
none are ever thought of for promo
tions (o executive places. ‘They ar
girls from our best nomes, most o
them with high ang normal schoo
troining, and fine culture. The whit
git!s are of no such grade, as ther:
fs mo segregation for them in th
great world of things. They hav:
unlimited fields at high wage fo
even mediocre talents, The best 0
our girls must take these inferio
positions, the inevitable result of so
gregation. Our people are still hop
ing for the issuance of an order de
stroying this iniquitous practice i
all of our government departments
for it not only humiliates the des
of the government servants but im
pairs the government service.
(Special to .The Gazette)
_ Washington, D. C.—The treasury
department, according to the Presi-
dent's recent acceptance specch, 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 depart-
ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blatr
from North Carolina, has not ap-
pointed a colored clerk since his {n-
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 is the same
general complaint here among our
clerks and other employees as there
1s in the other branches of the gov-
errment—failure to recognize thelr
efficency 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, lock-
er rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for
colored. ‘The toflets tor 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. so-
clalize of afternoons and evenings at
minimum costs. The white press of
the clty 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-
pointed Blatich 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 it 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, fearing
to act. Our clerks must accept se-
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 economic stress com-
pels endurance of it.
By a single stroke of his pen,
‘President Calvin Coolidge can stop
every bit of this damnable segrega-
‘Uon, just as he can condemn that
Jawiess organization the Ku Klux
Klan.
Washington, ls. C.—We wish to call
attention to the fact that in the fight
against the segregation of our gov-
ernment employees; the ‘Treasury
Department will most likely be the
center of attack, for segregation io
several of its bureaus has been most
pronounced, This is particularly true
Of the office of the register of the
treasury and the internal revenue
bureau. In the former, beaver
board Walls were maintained until
recently. In the latter there have
been two cases of discrimination on
account of color brougnt to public
view. The words, announcing the
election of President Coolidge, were
hardly cold before the effort to in-
crease segregation in the depart-
ments here was on again at full
speed. It had slowed up a little dur-
ing the campaign.
Investigation of Bureaus
An investigation of the executiva
departments and bureaus listed be-
low shows taat segregation prevails
in them as follows:
Office of the Register of the
Treasury, there are two segregated
sections—one with 30 Afro-Amert-
can employees and the other with
48
