P.'s annual meeting, next year, will be held in Los Angeles, Calif. Police Detective Sergeant Harry Buford of Omaha was promoted to Heutenan, last week Tuesday. New York Elks were denied an injunction to compel the national Elks' officers to hold this year's annual meet in New York City instead of Cleveland. N. A. A. C. P. Sec. Wm. Pickens declares that "segregation and the race problem are one and the same thing and that where segregation did not exist there was no race problem." Blind Boone, pianist, who has retired to his home in Columbus, Mo., is said to have realized over $300,000 from his famous piano solo, "Tornado," on the order of Blind Tom's "Storm" which preceded it. Now, it is said Josephine Baker, celebrated Afro-American singer and dancer in Paris, France, denies that she is wedded to an Italian count or any other man. Signor Albertini is only her pressman. Signor Albertini is there now. A sweeping victory in the Toms River, N. J., school segregation case was won, several months ago, when A RICH CUBAN "Poisoned" by Contact With Fool-Prejudiced Americans in His Own Country "Gets His". Paris, France — Senator Rogette Valdes della Torre, a young Cuban, rich, elegant, sportive, and rather dark, does not love our folk apparently. Entering the Rat Mort, a luxurious cabaret, what was the first sight that met his eyes? The orchestra, composed of Negroes, with black dancers and singers. Then as if that were not enough he saw two more, dark as ebony in tuxedos supplying joyously among the other white people quite indifferent to their dark Nordic blood of Senor Valdes boiled at the scene. Striding up to the surprised blacks he descended on them with his fists, and soon the place was in an uproar. A policeman attempted to interfere and the irate Senor Valdes struck him, too. The following day Senor Valdes appeared a prisoner in the Palais du Justice by a strong irony before the president of the Thirteenth Correctional Chamber, a native (black) in Jesse II Island, the Tronche-Maquaire. Gone was all the bellicocity of the senor. Indeed he showed himself so repentant that one would have imagined he had read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" since his arrest. M. Tronche-Maquaire sentenced him to two months' imprisonment. COOLIDGE AGAIN ASKED. Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights league sent President Coolidge the following telegram on his birthday, July 4: "On this joint birthday The N. E. R. league asks for redemption your second White House pledge to eliminate the segregation of Afro-American federal employees which fosters the prejudice exhibited in disfranchisement, segregation, peonage, and lynchings, which you have spoken against and which violate the great rights of all." Gen. Frazier Miller, pres., "William M. T. Troter, sec." One Killed. Other Wounded. Little Rock, Ark.—Johnnie Johnson was killed and Robert Allen was wounded and arrested following a clash between officers, bystanders, and white mobbists, last week Tuesday night. The trouble started when Johnson and Allen appeared with two white women on East Second St. near the Rock Island viaduct. White men suspected that the women were meeting the men and arranged the mob attack. Will Try For "West Point" Will Try For West Point. Chicago, Ill. — Congressman B. Madden of this city announced the appointment of Denton J. Brooks, Jr., for examination to enter the I. S. Dental Academy at West Point. Denton is a high school graduate. His father, Denton J. Brooks, Sr., was a captain in the Spanish-American War and was personal Adjutant and War Risk officer of the 92nd Division of the A. E. F. during the World War. King Knights African Chief British West Africa.—For the second time in the history of the British Empire a full blooded African was honored with the knighthood of the order of the British Empire, when his Majesty, King George, of England, was mounted chief of Akim Abuokaa. Sir Oforl is regarded as one of the most enlightened and progressive chiefs of the Gold Coast colony. Indicted For Flogging Woman. John H. Logan, state commissioner of Education, reinstated our pupils in the school from which they had been barred because of their color. The victory is a decisive blow. Howard University has completed the endowment of its school of medicine. The conditional offer of $250,000 made by the General Education Board of New York has been met by paid-in subscriptions of an equal amount by officers, faculties, alumni and friends of the university, Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, gave $25,000. The general education board of New York City has made available to Howard University the $80,000 provisional promise of two years ago and added $50,000 more thus contributing $130,000 for equipment of the new medical school building rebuilt and added $50,000 more to the $370,000 appropriation for the construction of the building. Wage increases of 40 cents per day for firemen and 35 cents per day for hostlers and helpers on twelve southeastern railroads to be paid in U. S. Board of Mediation. A minimum daily rate of $5.60 was also fixed for firemen in passenger service. This award means an approximate total yearly increase of $950,000. A SILVER TONGUED ORATOR. Queen Saloti, Majestic Figure Standing 6 Ft. 8 In. In Height, Reigns Over 20,000 Subjects. Los Angeles, Cal.—"The greatest orator of the Fiji group of islands is Queen Saloti, black, well educated in English schools in Australia and a majestic figure standing 6 feet and 8 inches in height and weighing in proportion," says pretty R. Crompton of Grompton of Fiji, recently reinstated at the Biltmore Hotel. Saloti is some queen, declares Miss Crompton, and her Highness reigns over the 20,000 subjects of the Island of Toga, a of the Fiji group. The entire group has 90,000 natives, 60,000 East Indians and mixed races and only 4,500 whites. The natives are civilized and dress like Europeans excepting the wearing of shoes. Miss Crompton is the daughter of Robert Crompton is the king's counsel of Suva. Father and daughter are making a leisurely tour to Fiji, where Miss Crompton was born, 20 years ago. "TO HELL WITH FINLEY!" TO HELP WITH FINELY BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Urging the Elks to hold their convention in New or City Lodge, in the year ago in the Rev. R. M. Bolden of New York City dramatically declared: "To hell with Finley Wilson," in a sermon before the great semi-religious anniversary birthday of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, Sunday week. "The incident came as a climax to the occasion, which was also the 55th anniversary of the birthday of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Dayton, Q. poet, when in the midst of an impassioned address the pulpit to the chancel platform and made this statement. The exercises were held at Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church, with the Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor, and L. R. Richmond presiding. A Brilliant Black Statesman. Paris, France—The Hon. Alcide Delmont, (black), a member of the French Chamber of Deputies, is planning a trip to the United States in October of this year. Deputy Delmont is one of the leading lawyers in France. Three years ago, while practicing law here, the police band, Martinique, nominated and elected him to the French Parliament. Willed All to His Stepnog. Frankfort, Ky.—A hot contest over the $100,000 estate of the late Wm. H. Wright, lawyer of Louisville, will result from his having bequeathed it to Lucille Willece Fitzpatrick, his white stenographer, whom he had adopted as his daughter. Relatives have attacked the will on the ground of undue influence Over $10,000 was reported, last week, by solicitors of St. James A. M. Church in their campaign to raise $16,500 to pay off a second mortgage on the church. One hundred volunteers are hustling to raise the remainder in ten days. Of course, they will get it. When the pastor of the church was approached, last week, and asked that a representative of the defunct hospital movement to give fifteen workers and congregation, he answered the "brother" by saying, "NO!" and was right. Someone ought to tell Drs. Rodgers and Owens that they are thru, as far as a "jim crow" hospital for this city, is concerned, at least. Miss Harriet Sampson, a student of Wilberforce university, and Geo Sampson, Jr., of Jacksonville, Fla. are visiting him at his Hampshire wife, wife of Dr. E. A. Dale. They are children of Prof. and Mrs. Geo. Sampson of Jacksonville, former residents of this city. Has Again Stirred Mississippi White Women of Standing To Action —Student Conference Condemns it at its North Carolina Meet, Blue Ridge, N. C.—Stirred by the many recent outbreaks of mob violence in the South, the Y. M. C. A. Student Conference (which for the southeast is funded its annual meeting here, recently, adopted and gave the press the following resolutions relative to lynching and mob violence; "Whereas, the encouraging decline in lynching which has marked recent years suffered a serious relapse in 1926, and there have occurred in recent months many instances of this federal crime, particularly in the states of Mississippi and Arkansas, and "Whereas, we, the southern regional council of Student Y. M. C. A.'s, assembled at Blue Ridge, N. C., believe we voice the sentiment of the great mass of southern people in condemning all such atrocities crimes, and "Whereas, we have heard of these tragic occurrences with keen regret, and believe that they are unjustifiable from any standpoint; "Therefore be it resolved: "That we earnestly hope that the public officials and the Christian citizenship of our country will use every means of upholding the law and cultivating sentiment against such atrocities." Similar resolutions were adopted by the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference meeting at the same place dur ing the conference, and the students in attendance at these two conferences represent practically all the colleges of the southeastern region. Southern White Women Speak Up. Jackson, Miss.—Meeting here, recently, in annual session, the Mississippi woman's committee on race relations pledged themselves to the most progressive program of interracial justice ever adopted by any group in this state. Beginning in 1981, an annual lynching and mob violence, they promised to seek better school advantages for our people of the state, offered their co-operation to our club women in their efforts for a home for delinquent boys, and then gave proof of their sincerity by inviting our women of the state to membership on their committee. Among the specific improvements made by the pledged themselves were better facilities for teacher training, better school-buildings, and a more equitable distribution of school funds. Mrs. David M. Key, wife of the president of Millsaps College, was elected president of the state committee, which includes a score of the most prominent white women in Mississippi at the time. The pledged themselves of the great religious or civic groups. The meeting was convened by Mrs. Maud P. Henderson, of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, who reports a much more active interest in the movement than was apparent in earlier meetings. Again Condemns Lynch-Murder. Jackson, Miss.—Stirred by recent outbreaks of mob violence in this state, another group of Mississippi most prominent white women, meeting here, recently, drew up and gave to the press a vigorous condemnation of lynching, declaring that "as southern women we hold that no circling of the streets is appropriate and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chivalric consideration for the honor of womanhood." The Governor was commended for his efforts to suppress mob violence, sheriffs were urged to meet with force any attempts upon their prisoners, and grand juries and courts were called upon for their assistance to recount lynchers to justice. The statement in full was as follows: "We place ourselves on record as unalterably opposed to mob murder. The barbaric practice of lynching arouses unchristian passions, violates the sovereignty of our state, brings Mississippi into disrepute in the eyes of the world, and brutalizes all those who come within its evil influence. Circumstances can ever justify mob action and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chivalric consideration for the honor of womanhood. "We commend our governor for calling out troops to suppress mob activities, urge all sheriffs to meet attempts on their jails with force, and call upon a grand juries and of course, insist on the lynchers in Mississippi who have unlawfully slaughtered six men within the past two months." The signers were Mrs. Theodore D. Bratton, wife of the bishop of Mississippi; Miss Susie V. Powell, president of the state federation of women's clubs; Mrs. Myrtle G. Hicks, vice-president of the Mississippi federation; active worker in various organizations; Mrs. D. G. McLaurin, president of the Mississippi syndical; Mrs. W. W. Epperson, president of the Jackson federation of missionary societies; Mrs. Edgar Goodwil, social service superintendent of the Mississippi conference; Mrs. David M. Key, wife of President Key of Millsaps College; Mrs. Paralee McCaster secretary; Jackson the John Bell Hood, Mrs. J. T. Calboun, Miss Mamie J. Chandler, and C. A. McCurdy. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS TO OUR WELFARE AND PROGRESS SAYS WHITE SPEAKER, A LEADER IN CHURCH WORK IN THIS COUNTRY. Field Secretary Wm. Pickens Says Segregation Is the Socalled "Race Problem"—Rank Injustice to the Female of the Weaker Race Which the White Churches of the Country Refuse to See. Indianapolis, Ind.—Dr. Alva W. Taylor, social service secretary of the Disciples Church, in his address, June 24, before the eighteenth annual conference here of the N. A. A. P. Church, condemned the white churches of America for their indifference to the problems of race relations. "In no single great social reform in the history of the United States except that of temperance have the churches taken the lead," said Dr. Taylor. "On the slavery issue several of the large churches split and the split took place on Mason's and Dion's. That that of Mason's and Dion's simply ignored the issue. On the prohibition issue churches acted only after a majority of their members had become teetotalers and those denominations that did not make teetotalism a virtue did not espouse the cause of prohibition. On the race issue today we do not find the churches as such taking a position much in advance of other organizations. As compared with man and woman, the relationship on this issue. The Ku Klux Klan/ was made up to a large degree of ardent church members. In this city a white supremacy league holds its meetings in churches. In the question of church leadership in social reforms as such that embodied in ameliorating race prejudice and promoting interracial comity the church as such will proceed only as rapidly as the pulpit and other influences. In this city the minister can within five years put his congregation behind any reasonable forward step." Pickens on Race Segregation. Pickens on Race Segregation. "Racial segregation is synonymous with the race problem, declared Wm. Pickens, field secretary, at a mass meeting in Caleb Mills hall, June 27. The problem is that race segregation there is no problem." continued Mr. Pickens. "The amount and the meanness of the problem varies exactly with the extent or the degree of the segregation. It is clear that there can be no such thing as equality for a dominated group if it be publicly segregated from the dominating and controlling group. If there is segregation on the trains and other public carriers the weaker race is not going to be given the better accommodation, 'equal and separate' accommodations. For to think that people are not fit to ride in your coach and to think at the same time that they are fit to ride in a coach as good as your coach is a psychological impossibility. The words 'separate' but equal accommodations in segregation laws are a mere legal fiction. Every sound mind knows that real equality under the law cannot be achieved nor desired. The fight for equality of opportunity is essentially a fight against public segregation. A similar weakness is the inherent in laws forbidding marriage between two racial groups. The formal marriage is the only thing prevented by such laws while the natural marriage goes on unchecked. There are millions of mulattoes in this country who would never have come into existence if it had been necessary to prepare for the right of treatment instead of being strictly enforced instead of being denied the existence of nine-tenths of them. The most effective check upon amalgamation is equality of the races, the strictest equality in law. The female of the weaker group had the right to enforce ceremonial and legal marriage whenever natural marriage was forced on her, then race prejudices against her. Race prejudices would tend to discourage the natural unions. If a law were passed compelling white men to marry the colored women with whom they are living or by whom they may have a child, such a law would prevent more misenagement in 12 months than a law prohibiting marriage could ever prevent in 12 generations. Colored Americans are often accused of 'wanting to be white' when a better analysis would show that what they really want is the freedom and privateness of the color and the shape of their environment for self-protection—not because they think the environment is better than they are. The homopotent insect looks like a walking leaf when in motion and in the presence of an enemy it hangs quietly among the leaves to avoid being preyed upon.

Why should human beings be presumed to have less brains or less disposition to defensive adaptability than an insect? A civilization that puts a handicap on being colored and premium on being white shows itself to be an arrant hypocrite when it says: 'You ought to be proud to show that you are colored.'" **Justice Dead!** Indianapolis, Ind.—'I am not yet ready to believe that the majority of my fellow men, that is my white fellow men, have had their sense of justice eaten away by the canker of race prejudice. I believe that in the hearts and minds of a multitude of your fellow white citizens similarly situated, alike in everything but color, there is an abiding sense of justice which may be successfully aroused. "The soil has been well prepared. They listen to your artists because of the beauty of the sound. They read your authors for the feel of their words. The flesh has to come to them the proposition of justice in the abstract. We have successfully taken our case to the courts of law. Let us now take it to the courts of public opinion. "We must get our appeal into the white pulpit and the white press. Why not over the radio into the white home? It is a task of magnitude. It does appear discouraging. I know when the fiery Henry Ward Beecher carried his message to his listeners his listeners sought to enforce his silence. But the masses of our fellow white men can be told that as for them, race prejudice is a weapon in the hands of the enemy. Its sole purpose is their own injury. I believe our cause is just; so just that all must listen." Judge F. N. Fayn in his "Keen not address to N. C. P. conference held here, recently." WATCHERS MEET DIXIE TRAINS. Birmingham Acts to Head Off Migration of Workers—They Want The "Negro" Now. Birmingham, Ala.—Regardless of the legislative enactments of southern states which make it unlawful for workers to form labor unions, American workers for any city outside of the state, the South is daily losing vast numbers of them. So acute has become the situation in Birmingham and New Orleans that local authorities have launched vigorous campaigns to check the exodus, which according to the labor commissioner of Louisiana has reached a "crisis" in New Orleans among the workers in the city. The workmen are a factor whose services cannot be dispensed with. An appeal was recently issued to them by the director of industrial relations of the Chamber of Commerce in which they were reminded of the fact that the South is their home (almost a perfect HELL of a home) and that they are always "assured of the best treatment here." (This would be a joke.) It not satiricly aggravating He). In Birmingham the situation has reached the stage that the Chamber of Commerce has appointed agents to watch all outgoing trains in an effort to dissuade our people from leaving the city. A New Million Dollar Plant. New York City—The Lincoln Hospital School for training Afro-American students has opened in the N.Y. will have a new residence and school building. The plant fully equipped, will cost $1,000,000. Approval of plans has been made by Borough President Bruckner of the Bronx. Orange, N.

That sign was wiser than some of the “jim crow” hospital advocates, few in number at all times. i Prominent white women of Mis aissippi are again active in their vig- orous condemnation of lynching. It is to’ be hoped that their activity in this mattér will encourage thelr sis- ters in all of the southern siates to take similar action, at an early date.

It embraces every color ‘and can afford to observe the golden rule, something it does not in very many instances when it comes to our people. j Se KLUXERS DAMAGE MERIDA HOME ‘The Kluxers in the East End of the city, several times some months ‘ago, bombed Dr, and Mrs. Chas. H. Garvin's residence, in Wade Park avenue, in a vain effort, which last- ed off 4nd on for about a year, to make them move. For some months now they have permitted the Gar- ving to lve in peace, doubtless FINALLY being qpnvincea that they did not intend ‘to move or be FORCED to leave even tempor arily their newly-built home. Re- cently, Dr. and Mrs, James D. Merida, whose offices are located on the southeast corner of E. 30th street and Central avenue, purchased a new home at 9106 Parmalee avenue, ‘also in the northeast section of the city. Monday of this week, the Kluxers got busy again, broke win- ows and split paint on the walls of the new home. Knowing Dr. ‘and Mrs, Merida as we do, we do not think that they (the Kluxers) will have any more success in this latest effort than they had in the case of Dr, and Mrs. Garvin. Only Dr. Merida, when he occupies the house, should not make the mis- take of leaving it unguarded, day or night, for several months, at least. Have someone in the house, Doctor, PROPERLY ARMED and prepared to help protect it and your family, in addition to invoking the aid of the Cleveland police. ° THE ELKS THREATENED. Since national officers of our Elks have issued a proclamation designat- ing Sleveland as the place of the or- der’s annual meeting, this year, be- cause @ certain law of New York state makes it impossible for a secret organization to parade there with thelr emblems, all of our Elks of the country, however much they may have desired this year’s annual meet- ing held in New York City, should abide by the decision of their na- tional officers to meet here again, this Year. ‘Their gathering In Clove- Jand, last year, was such a creditable ‘one and left such a very satisfactory impression on all of its citizens with- ‘out reference to race, class or cOtor, THE GEEVUM GIRLS that the coming, this year, is being looked forward to by all the resi- dents of this city with the best of feeling. It is most unfortunate, in- deed, that a minority membership ot the order is seeking to bring about a split, and a “rump” meeting at New York City, in the face of the na- tional officers’ recent proclamation selecting Cleveland as the meeting place again this year. Underneath this very reprehensible act, we un- derstand, is virulent antipathy to the grand exalted ruler of the organiza- tion, J. Finley Wilson, whom it is feared will seek election to a sixth annual term as G. B. R. Minority factions have sought to depose him for five years. That it is a minority faction can be seen from the fact that the vote to re-elect him for the fifth term at the last convention, held here in 1926, was 497 to 231. ‘This minority claims that five years ot Wilson rule is enough and a new head should be elected. They say ‘Wilson spent $23,000 to re-elect himself, last year; that he has had his own salary raised to $5,000, and together with certain fees, pays him- ‘self a stipend of $1,000 to $15,000 a year. Finally, they complain that “J, Finley” does not represent the hjghest type of Elk leadership. If the above claims of the minority fac- tion be true, the leaders should con- tinue to bring them to the attention of the delegates at their annual na- tional meetings until’ majority rec- ognizes them and deposes him from the highest office of the order, and not seek to split the organization which has grown so large and pow- erful as a secret order, and, to date, has been so exceptionally creditable to our people of the entire country. ‘A split would be’ most unfortunate, indeed, trom every viewpoint and would result in no g00d to our peo- ple or its organizations in general. We sincerely trust that the leaders of the minority faction, who are seek- ing to disrupt the organization, will soon “see the light” and fall In line with the national officers’ proclama. tion convening their annual session here in August next. fe awetoon wee sess Te In the Christian Endeavor parade, July 4, Antioch and Second Emanuel Baptist churches, St. John's A MOE. and St.Paul A.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers of which are in favor of “always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than eubmit. The race that says it’s cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect. and have no ‘guts’. The world respects only those who resent and re- sist progeriptions for race.

What is,“Tiger” Doing, Anyhow? CHICAGO, Ill.—Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion, and Maxie Rosenbloom of New York, went ten rounds to a draw in the windup of the boxing show at the White Sox ball park, Monday night. The first eight rounds were fought in a steady rain. which failed to slow up either battler. They started fast, neither paying much attention to boxing, and both putting plenty of power into their punches. The slippery condition of the canvas bothered Flowers considerably. He lost his balance more than once, and in the last round, just before the gong, fell on his back. In his et- forts to retain his balance, one of his feet struck Rosenbloom, floor- ing him. The only knockdown, and it is questionable, came in the sixth round, when Flowers went down after a hard right to the chin, but he was up without a count. Ring- siders were unable to tell whether it was the force of the blow or the ‘slippery canvas that downed the ‘deacon. ‘Yarbo Wins and is Suspended.. agin “whaling” Wilson Yarbo— “Schuffle” Callahan “ten-round” bout at Taylor bowl, Wednesday night, lasted only three rounds.

Sor instance, tne largest of our parks President Wilson ‘mever troubled, but the pres ent administration has found time fan desire to introduce it even there. ‘To many people, segregation ia Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Tate m- troduced it in the bureau of engrav- ing. He segregated the census-takers tt this elty 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 bis official capacity that Negroes shyald ‘not hold office where white people complained. Ses- Tegation, then, is a Republican in- stitution amd ot a Democratic one. ie was begun by Republicans, and carried on to:ite all-embracing ex: tent by Republicans! ‘There 18 far more of it 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- fee, which, makes it next. to impos- sible tor a eglored lady or gentleman fo enter the civil service, since thelr color 1s disclosed in their photo: graph which must accompany theit Dapers, is tenaciously held on to. by Our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after Raving passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- fraph bad failed to tell her true folor, jand they flatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commis- sioner Blair of the interna) revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, amd his word is law there, as he is 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- Iptendent of buildings, end grounds ts no use to complain of either of ‘The colored people here who know the President could destroy segre- gation in the departments of the fovernment, and the photograph fequirements 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 femocracy into operation _ here, Where it would not eyen cost him a single vote and where he has full Dower and obsolutely no opposition. They wonder if heis not a firm be- liever in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chiet ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “welcome home” in the Republican party, and recetves no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D, C.—In the postot- ve (aeaceeatbn ‘is rampant, ‘The faithful. colored clerks work under constant hamiliation and physical disadvantages. The department meintaine a» spacious cafteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing jupcheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons trom home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfory, disadvantage. ous as it is, is far less galling to the covored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, ag 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 tar imore capable than the whites, and render the government more {ntelll- gent and efficient service—the white fan of thelr attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even farther 1p ite solfcteude tor whives and nog: lect of colored. It maintains a well- ‘appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comforta dle lounges and other equipment . tor 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 ts segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the tollets. And all of this {9 against the most dependable aod faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a re- neption to the heads of depaytments. including the postmaster general, in the nestoffice building. It announced danein~ and a pleasant social sve- ping with the officials for “the post- office emplorees.” yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. 1 burried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the post- master to invite the colored as well as the white. Those 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 euperios No Negro, however efficient or old 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 bave 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, Jt has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter oyer 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 Drightest of our girls are forced to accept inferier positions there on ac- count of the better and more lacra- tive avenues of employment being Closed to them because of their col- or, The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equal- ing our girls in educational equip- ment, culture, and working efficten- vy, Yet these superior iris 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 thts huge structure where all of the employees may go, Dut there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. 1am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize ‘the place, preferring a little physical incon- venience to the open, semi-public hu- miliation of segregation. In toflet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, whetever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals iteelt 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- tonal center In this publig building with many fine appointments tor Fest 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 30 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 smart Negroes” who believe in “social equality,” and then dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge, He was a night-employee, hence he carried @ pistol. Right after the dance in- Gident a fire broke out in the office He Was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for hi exclusion from the dance floor. De. fectives came to the building to ar- rest him, and falling-to secure an} ovidence searched him only to dis. cover the pistol. They quickly drop. bed the arson charge and substituted ‘one tor carrying concealed weapons tor which he was immediately dis. missed. By this seyere punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape tor one whe dares to resent the daily tosults tha thelr government (under President Cooltdge) gives them. Many of the employees have ex pressed their deeply-wounded fecl- Ings to me at being considered variah by the government whose in- stitutions they are serving so taith- {ully, and } have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of ox. fst, and a request for the names of my informants knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The de- partment then taking the position chat it cannot take up the case. It ‘¢ perfectly clear that this iniquitous <cheme of segregation is a difficult ching to fight, since the government ‘sso well settled upon It. and the romplainants cannot bear witness to It.

Senator La Follette jodged a pro- test with Secretary McAdoo to nc avail, and his noble wite began 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 neithe: space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the na tonal gathering of the National As sociation for the Advancement o! Colored People in New York. Wher our people here were so profoundls discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. ©. 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 Cabine ‘and arouse our people, and the Na. tion Association secured publicity ix 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 trom the bureau alto- gether. ‘The same segregation which some ot our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratle party is still there, in all of its fullness under the administration of the party that /braiam Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglas helped to found.

C.—The treasury department, according to the Presi- dent's recent acceptance speech, 1s how 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, ina 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.

Yet Ne groes are so scarce there that they can’t be noticed. There Is the sam¢ general complaint here among. ou clerks and other employees as ther: is in the other branches of the gor: erzment—faflure to recognize thei: efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so tar and no farther. ‘The various forms of segregatior exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided alon: color lines, and special toflets, lock. er rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. fhe tollets for the colored fare few in such a large structure Hence, the segregated clerks aré forced to endure physteal inconven lence at times, and are forced tc travel long distances when they de sire the use of them. ‘The depart ment maintains a huge. magnificen cafeteria, In the splendid sweep ot woodland along our national drive. way. where white people of every elass can come to rest, dine, and so. 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.

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 jawiess organization the Ku Klux Klan, Washington, b.

In the former, bea er board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination ou account of color brought 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.
