THE ROARING THIRD, AGAIN CONDITIONS THERE SO ROT- TEN THEY "STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN." Dope-Dens — Speakeasies Galore — Drunken Men and Women — Prostitutes— And Hootch-Hounds— A Four A. M. Crap Game. A reporter of Cleveland's only daily newspaper, The Plain Dealer, seems to have stirred Director of Safety Edwin D. Barry to a little more action in the case of "the roaring third" police precinct. If it is to be another drive, Mr. Barry conditions so much of the city will be bettered only temporarily, as has always been true in the case of drives in the past. The fearfully immoral and degrading condition in "the roaring third" is infinitely worse than pictured by The Plain Dealer reporter, Wednesday morning. Indeed, we do not believe that it is within the power of human endeavor to accurately describe Director Barry says there are "one hundred officers and men in the third precinct, under the direction of Inspector Hughes—more than in any other precinct in the city". The writer lives in the heart of "the roaring third" and has resided there for many years. We know that he has known Director Barry, intimately, for many years. If there are "one hundred" or even ten policemen in the third precinct, those of us who live there do not know it because we rarely if ever see one. When we do, they are sent to apprehend someone or more persons for committing some crime. We believe it would pay Director Barry to find seems to know about those "one hundred officers and men in the third precinct". A. "Bareface" Lie. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 29, 1927. Mr. Edwin D. Barry, Director of Public Safety City Hall. Dear Sir:—You are quoted in Wednesday morning's Plain Dealer as saying: "The class of undesirables that in- fect the third (police) precinct have lived there all their lives." I wish to inform you that whoever gave you that mis-infarm- ation told you a bureafle he and it for political effect. I have lived in the third precinct for more than sixty years and am still residing there and know where I speak. There are hundreds of old res- dents, nearly all good people, still living in the third precinct who will surely resent at the election, this fall, the statement at least attributed to you in Wednesday morning's paper unless it is retracted or the an- nouncement made that you did not reach an unfortunate mis- statement. Hopkins Decidedly Wrong! In his speech at the Elks' clam bake Tuesday evening, City Manager John McCormack said that "Councilman Tom Fleming's career should be an inspiration to all classes and all groups" and that "Fleming had been tremendously in earnest about the welfare of the Colored people. Our City Manager John McCormack was to people who know Fleming, his FRESH OHIO NEWS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS. What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc. NEW VIENNA.—L. R. Carey of Cleveland arrived, last week Friday, after two years' absence to visit his old home and mother. En route here, a dinner was given in his honor by his sister, Mrs. Getha O. Jones, of Wilmington. Sunday afternoon, mother, Mrs. Ida B. Carey, gave a four course dinner and reception in his honor.

Cain of Cleveland visited his daughter, Mrs. Luella Board, last week.—Rev. E. H. New career in the council and in this city far better than he does. And how charriged Mr. Hopkins would have felt had he been able at the time to read the minds and learn the facts of the audience, and realize the huge joke he was really "putting over". Nearly all of his audience were members of the race with which Fleming is identified and hardly one of them could possibly fall to see the humor in Hopkins comment on Tom. "Fleming's career, an inspiration to all classes and groups of people. Give me how could you? And then again." Fleming has been tremendously in earnest about the welfare of the Colored people". Just think of it and recall Tom's career in the city council. There surely must have been grins on the faces of the great people. There is evidence that only long time can enface, Mr. Hopkins, you sure were having a good time, at Tom's expense, and didn't know it. The fall campaign in the third district was opened, Tuesday evening, with a clam bake at the Els' hall, E. 554th St. Steve Ball was master of ceremonies. Maurice Maschke, county leader; former Director Alex Bernstein; Councilmen Mildred Bronstrup, Tom Fleming and Herman Finkle; Mrs. Fleming, Wm. R. Green and others were the speakers. Speaking of the clam bake, the Plain Dealer of Wednesday morning contained the following: The party, obviously, made a social political gathering, was billed as a clam bake. The nearest thing to a clam was some chowder, the first course. Brolled lobster and chicken; "Charley" Smith, secretary to Safety Director Edwin D. Barry, in evening dress as potentate of the colored Elks; blues singers, dancing between courses to "hot" numbers by a colored orchestra—all these gave the affair a resemblance to an evening in a good Harlem night club." Rich! isn't it. The city, county and school-board are asking the voters of Cuyahoga county for $16,400,000 in bonds, at the elution in November. If you want vote for all, the RAISED票权 *RAISED* vote for any or all of them. Pin this in your hat for future reference and let the politicians talk! And this includes the city manager. Cleveland's tax rate for 1928 will be $2.45 on every $100, County Auditor Zangerle estimated, Wednesday. This will be an increase of 4 cents over the 1927 rate and it will be increased 7 cents more, or to $2.52, if the voters approve the special assessment for salary increases for policemen and firemen at the November election. Zangerle said the estimated amount he been $2.52-$9 cents less than last year's, had it not been for the special 6-cent levy that the state has laid in the move to rehabilitate its finances. some leaves, Wednesday, for Lima, to attend annual conference—Mrs. and Mrs. W.

Capt. C. E. Gibson, age 52, our first member of the Washington, D. C., fire-department, has been retired after 27 years' service. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (and Maids), claiming a 7,000 membership, has filed a petition with the interstate commerce commission asking a living wage from the Pullman company. How It's Done in New York—Wesley Williams, New York fireman for nine years, was given his appointment as lieutenant in the fire service, a "jim-crow" division as would be the case if he were in Chicago. He is in fire-house, No. 55, where all the other members are white. In New York, the qualifications count, not the color—Chicago Defender. Williams has a fine record and is our first officer in the department. Roy W. Tibbs, professor of music at Howard University, Washington, C. has been ordered by the courts to be his wife, William Evans Tibbs, (soprano), professionally known as Mime. Evanti, $100 a month temporary alimony pending the outcome of her suit for divorce. They have a six-year-old son. Skyway Micropenetion SHORE Miscegenation Boston, Mass — Two men fought desperately for Mary McConico, the recent Monday evening, at 15 Pernell St. When they appeared before Judge Hearn in Roxbury District Court, the next day, it was plainly evident that Chas, McConico, the husband, got the worst of it. George Collins, the Afro-American rival, was fined $100 and sentenced to three months in the House of Correction. McConico got home too early and caught George. The McConicos are white. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ALSO A GOVERNOR AND SIX MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. In Marked Contrast Was the Mistreatment of Col. Charles Young by This Country—Brazil, Cuba, Haiti—In the Business and Professional Life of France—Rene Maran. Paris, France.—for some reason or another the Latin peoples have shown a tendency to treat Negroes less as inferiors and more like human beings than the Anglo-Saxons. A notable instance. Modern Negro slavery really began in southern Europe when a lieutenant of Prince Henry, the navigator, brought the first ten slaves from Guinea in 1416, and later hated later with the discovery of the New World. Negro slavery was introduced in the West Indies by colonists from Spain. Negro slavery was not abolished in southern Europe until 1773, that is it lasted for 331 years. Yet to best of my knowledge, there was at no time a color problem. On the contrary, Azurara, an eye witness of the arrival of the first batch of slaves, tells how they were taught trades, adopted into families and even married to "the women of the country." (See the book of XIV and XXV.) Later all of these Negroes, hundreds of thousands of them, were absorbed by the white population. (America's only solution of its "problem.—Editor.) Although the black man was brutally treated by all the white colonists in the New World yet under the Latinus the tendency above mentioned held true, with the result that they showed more manhood and perhaps higher intellectual advance than their fellow Negroes under Anglo-Saxon. At a time when slavery was at its worst in the French Colonies, the Chevalier St. George, a Negro from Guadeloupe, noted swordman, musician and composer of several operas, was one of the leading personages on the court of Louis XIV's Diaz, a Negro slave was one of three who won the independence of Brazil; Antonio Macao was a leader of the Cuban revolt, while another Negro slave was the George Washington of a leading American country and its president for several years. It is under French rule that the individual Negro has made the highest advance. Under Napoleon, Gen. Dumas commanded the French troops in Egypt, while Maikolete Palage, commanded a brigade in the Peninsular War under Marshal Soult. Gen. Alfred A. Dodds, another Negro recently commanded the French troops during the Boxer rebellion in China. He it was, also, who won much of France's African empire and Gen. Bonnier, under whom Marshal Joffre served as a captain, was in command at the capture of the buctoo, where he was killed. Among the leading French officers, among the present is of a French former commander of a French cruiser, who in command of the aerial defense of Paris at Le Bourget during the war. Think of it, a Negro and a dark one at that, holding this high post, while our Colonel Charles Young of Ohio was side-tracked to Africa evidently to keep him from well-eared promotion. Governor of Province. Another dark Negro, Hector Simonean, was prefect of the Department of Cantal, a position equivalent to that of governor of a state. M. Simonean is now paymaster general of the Department of Am. Aalb. I was informed that an American general in command in the first-named department subjected to taking orders from M. Simonean, and that the French government shifted him to St. Malo. Six Parliament Members. Six Parliament Members. There are six Negroes in the French Parliament—five in the Lower House, and one in the Senate—at least several persons who have been from Guadeloupe, is colored. The other five are Deputies Delmont, Diagne, Severe, Jean-François and Candace. Deputy Candace, who has held and still holds important government positions, is a former professor of science in a French college. He is also a journalist and was editor of Clementeau's famous paper L'Action as well as other papers. He has been a Senior Engineer Vivian and rapporteur-general on prisoners of war. A collaborateur of President Doumergue, he is interested in colonial, maritime and finance. He has been a member of the Finance Committee, seven years, and vice-president of the Merchant Marine Committee; rapporteur on State Railways and has been in Parliament fifteen years. Deputy Candace one of the lawyers in Paris. He has a very large practice. He was awarded both the Croix de Guerre, and the Legion of Honor Among Latins. French Rule.

Country—Brazil, Cuba, business and Pro- e of France— Maran. for his services during the World War. Deputy Diagne, who also holds important post under the government, represents Senegal. Color Prejudice Barred. The presence of these Negroes in Parliament makes it difficult for color-prejudice to creep into France as has been shown more than once. Match these six deputies up with the British Parliament. England has a larger black population than France. Among other leading Negroes are Louis Beaudza, who is chief clerk of the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honor; Isaac Beton, professor of the Lycee St. Louis; Raoul Cenac, professor of the Lycee St. Michelet, (both government colleges); Col. Baulé Intendant Miltaire of the First Battalion of the Army of Polytechnic School. Among the lawyers are Georges Mamerville and Clanville Bloncourt, both of whom have a large practice. Camille St. Rose Fanchine, a young Negro of fine ambition, is a bookkeeper in a leading bank. M. Fanchine, who is much interested in the Negro, tells me that among other leading French Negroes must be added Admiral Amiot; retired; Gen. Lecamus, killed in the last war, and warship, and who was snubbed in a cafe in New York. M. Fanchine is winner of the Croix de Guerre. M. Charles Louislade, 43 rue Monsleur Le Prince, former principal and inspector of schools in France, is in the real estate business and owns a hotel and a restaurant. He thinks France offers a splendid field for Negro investors. Monsleur Germany is an inspector in the French Bureau of Negro legislation acted on. And so one could go for hours naming others, near-white from the French West Indies, who in America would be known as Negroes. Rene Maran, another Bataoula Maran, who served for fifteen years in the French Colonial services is the voice crying in the wilderness. He thinks that France has been very unjust to the black man and his book a Bataoula as its readers know, is a stirring indictment of French Colonial rule. Maran is a humanitarian of the first rank and a leading contributor to radical French journals. Another book of his has recently appeared, "Djouma". As to Bataoula it has been translated into eight languages in a country said to about the Negroes the hulmier walks of life. These may be encountered from time to time engaged in all kinds of occupations; driving on autobus, conducting a subway train, clerking in a department store and generally in all work. Negroes are rarely found in America. J.-A. J. Rogers in Baltimore (Md.) Aro-American.

The Italian authorities informed Mayor "Jimmie" that there was no color line in Italy. The guests were Brazilian subjects, who refused to be seated in the same room, out of deference to an official visitor, they left. Later they returned, however, and the mayor left hastily.

Prejudiced American newspa- per men abroad often cause such pub- lications to be made in newspapers in this country. It is difficult for us to believe that the chief executive of the largest city in the country, Mayor “Jimmy” Walker, is just com- mon “shanty” Irish. Perelllineee, Perry Howard, Ben Davis and Walter Cohen may be the leaders of the Republican party of the states of Mississippi, Georgia and Louis- jana, respectively, but we doubt it. And it is our nearly half-century’s experience in politics that makes us do so, too. Bob Church may be the leader of the Republican party in Tennessee. We hope 90, anyhow, be- cause we have never known him to wear a political boss’ “collar”. But National Committeemen Howard and Davis and Federal Office-holder Co- hen are in a very different position, as far as political leadership of their several states is concerned. Somebody should tell Sheridan A. Brusseaux, head of the Keystone National Detective Agency, Chicago, that there were no facts in his ‘“Ser- ra" affidavit which he claims he filed in the Ohio state auditor's of- fice, Feb. 2, '27. There was abso- lutely no truth in the affidavit's charges against Supt. Richard C. Bundy of the State Department at Wilberforce. ‘That explains, Mr. Brusseaux, why your ‘Serra’ affi- davit and other “Wilberforce” mis representations have been ignored by Ohio's state auditor and others. pees ‘The American Control of Haiti, not satisfied with its unjust arrest and persecution of a native editor, some months ago, has now caused the arrest of three Haitian editors because they have exposed the Amer- ican scheme to acquire Haitian ter- ritory for a West Indian military base, something this country has been working up to in the last five or six years. As in the beginning, so it is now; President Louis Borno of Haiti fs proving the pliant tool in the hauds of the American Control of Haiti it anticipated when it foisted him upon that country as its chief executive. Poor, bleeding Haiti! a ee eee Glane mae. Dr. I, Garland Penn of Cincinnati is opposed to Bishop A. J. Carey’s advanced stand against “jim-crow- ism". Someone ought to tell Dr. Penn that Bishop Carey's statements, that he objects to, were intended to apply to our people of the North where “jim-crowism” is impossible unless “Jim-crow Negroes’ encour- age it and the rest of our people of the community wink at it. Follow- ing are the sentences of Bishop Carey's speech delivered, some weeks ago, here in Cleveland which have so stirred Dr. Penn: A. “I would rather see my daugh- ter stand over a wash-tub all day long than to see her principal of a Negro High school.” ‘B. “I say to you doctors, if you THE GEEVUM GIRIS want a Negro hospital so that you can have a place for your sous and friends to interne, then you are put- ting the stamp of inferiority upon yourselves.” ©. “What I have said about Ne- gro hospitals and schools, I mean for Y. M. C. Avs and Y. W. C. A's, Places disgraces in the name of Christ.” Bishop Carey, in the foregoing re- marks, is RIGHT when it is remem- bered, as we have said in the fore- Zoing, that he is speaking of our People in the North where “Jim- crow” institutions of one kind and another are not only unnecessary but positively harmful to general racial progress. Dr, Penn's life-long resi- dence in the South, and possibly his desire to “run along with the ‘erowd,” may be the cause of his challenging the Bishop’s statements quoted above. ll LOCAL COURT “BUMPS” UNION “COLOR-LINE"! ‘Wills’ Terrace Garden, a local ree- taurant, hired Afro-American wait- ers and paid them union wages, last and this year: This year, the busi- ness agent of the local waiters’ union demanded that white union waiters be employed. This, the pro- prictor of the restaurant refused to accede to. Refused membership in the local union, at the request of their employer several of his wait- ers went to Cincinnati to the inter national headquarters of the union and applied for a charter for a “jim- crow” local in Cleveland. ‘They were referred to the local union which re- fused their request. Thereupon the loeal_umfon began pieketting the restaurant and stationed automobiles in front of it which bore signs read- ing: ““Wills' Terrace Garden is un- fair to organized labor”. Naturally, this controversy landed in the local courts which sustained an injunction against the “union boycott on racial Sounds". The Afro-American wait- ers got what was coming to them, when they applied for a charter for a ‘“Jim-crow" local, and the local union got what was coming to it for refusing our waiters membership, es- pecially in view of the fact that about every other nationality, or ruce, under the face of the sun is vepresented in its present member- ship. Our waiters at Wills’ Terrace Garden, and everywhere else in this community, show! stay out of the local union unt that organization sees fit to open ts doors to them in common with all others. There is no need, either, of a “jim-crow" lo- cal in Cleveland. A fight similar to the foregoing is all that is necessary to eventually open the doors of the color-prejudiced electrical workers’ union and others in this community. Therefore, the sooner they are brought, the better. A thing that is not worth fighting for is hardly worth having, and certafnly there ought not to be complaint, as a re- suit of its denial when a proper fight has not been made for it. Follow- ing ig the court's opinion in the Wills’ Terrace Garden waiters’ union ease, in part: “It appears that there existed no real trade dispute; both the em- ployer and his employees are satis- fied with each other, the standards of the union both as to wages and working conditions are being ob- served. The employees wanted to at- fillate with the union and the employ- er wanted them to, and they went to no little trouble trying to do so, and were refused by these defendants, solely because of their race... The ideal of all union efforts is an must be the Improvement of the 0- cial and economic condition of those who Work, and the law seeks to pro- tect the union in the fair accom- plishment of such ideal. This boy- cott does not appeal to this court of equity as conforming to this stand- ard. “In its last analysis It is a case of white men opposing colored men. As this court sees it the only infor- mation these defendants could prop-_ erly and truthfully give the public about plainti’ is that he employs colored people, and I do not believe these defendants care to advertise that fact as such. It does not ap- peal to this court of equity as fair for these defendants to say to the peblic that plaintiff is ‘unfair to or- ganized labor’ under the undisputed facts. The motive prompting. this attack on the plaintit under these sircumstances cannot be justified by ris court... . ‘This court feels that under all these circumstan7es justice requires that the temporary restraining order prayed for be granted and such order may issue on the execution by the pliaintif? of | a bond in the sum of $600.” | THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0.

Hartwell rushed Tut from the start shooting rights and lefts to the mid-section and head. A hard right to the stomach knock- ed the Ohio fighter to the canvas for the count of eight. Arising slowly, Jackson was caught flush on the jaw by a left uppercut and took another count of eight. Hartwell caught Tut with a fusilade of punches in a clinch and the Ohio boy went down again taking a count of nine. Another right to the jaw and Jackson hit the canvas, taking a count of five as the bell rang. Tut went slowly to his corner where his seconds worked over him in a furious manner. Start- ing the second round, Hartwell rush- ed Tut across the ring with left hooks to the kidneys, and battered him down for a count’ of nine. Drag- ging himself to the side of the ring, Tut clasped the ropes with his left hand and slowly arose only to go down again under a rain of blows for another long count. Shaking his hand in a pitiful manner he rose to his feet, while Hartwell, with a Ti gerish leap sent him down again with short rights and lefts. Seeing that Jackson was completely out and help- less, the referee, Rev. Earl Black- man, (white), stopped the massacre. Tut remained in the ring several minutes after the fight, receiving at- tention from his handlers, And they call this “sport”. Praises “Tiger” Flowers, In his first metropolitan appear- ance since he successfully defended hig title against Harry Greb, a year ago, Tiger Flowers demonstrated de- cisively to the satisfaction of all pres- ent that, regardless of whom some of the powers are trying to name as more logical contenders, he is still leading the field by several jumps. Joe Anderson, with wins over Leo Lomski, Eddie Kid Roberts and a wonderful fight to his credit, was hopelessly lost against the blinding speed and attack of the Tiger. The Georgia whirlwind started the first round at a dizzy pace and was never for a moment in danger. He simply swept Anderson off his feet, took the fight away from him and ‘never re- Uinquished the upper hand; scarcely breathing hard at the finish. Within the past 30 days Flowers has jour- neyed to the Pacific coast and back, defeating five opponents, Bing Con- ley, Chuck Wiggins, Harry Dillon, Jock Malone and Joe Anderson; Quite a formidable opposition. ‘This Achievement stamps Mm as one of the most remarkable boxers of the age.

If there is a better man in either class we want to find it out, and the best way to do this is in the ring. Com- missions may appoint champions and Teferees dethrone those who lesiti- mately won thelr honors in. battle, but the public will always have a voice to raise in protest when those who are worthy are sidetracked. Watch this ring's greatest sportsman, a clean, Godfearing character, fight his way back over the countless ob- stacles opposing him to his rightful position and become the holder of wo world's titles.—Walk Miller, manager of “Tiger” Flowers. Telephone Personalities ‘ ee ee Eee a one 3" oe a ee as ‘ —<s ec oR inns " Ge ae When a person places a long distance telephone call and is un- able to furnish the number of the distant telephone, before the con- nection can be completed the call must be referred to a directory operator, who has access to a file of out-of-town directories. When the directory operator obtains the number, she writes it on a ticket which is made out for every long distance call, and passes it on to the outward opera- tor, who calls the distant point and gets the calling person back on the line. In case the directory operator cannot get the number from any of the directories on file, it Is necessary for the outward opera- tor to call the distant town and try to get the number from the information operator there, This, of course, may take considerable time. ‘The Ohio Bell Telephone Cox pany 1s now advising Its patrons to obtain the numbers of tele- phones they wish to call in dis- tant places, as calls can then often be completed while the caller waits on the line. If the distant number is not known, the patron may eall “Long Distance” and ask for the director: opera- tor, who will give her the numbers of any distant telephones wanted If Africa were rronortionat as well served from a_telepho standpoint as the United States, i would have 135 times as many te! phones as at present.

Kingsbury chapter of Telephone Pioneers of America at Cedar Point, Ohio, was a talk by Miss Florence Baird, chief operator at the Eddy office of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company in Cleveland. Miss Baird had entered the ranks of Pioneers a short time before the meeting and is one of the youngest members of the chapter, which consists of men and women from all parts of Ohio who have had 21 years or more of telephone service. Speaking before more than 500 Pioneers and their guests, Miss Baird talked on the telephone business from the viewpoint of a young Pioneer. After giving her impressions of the telephone business as a whole, she spoke of her own work of directing some 200 operators in Cleveland. "We always try to make users of the service satisfied," she said, "and to be just as pleasant as if we were trying to help a personal friend. Every operator is trained to use a pleasing tone of voice in speaking to people on the line. If there should be any trouble or delay in a call, the operator always tells her supervisor, who calls back and inquires if the call was finally completed satisfactorily. We want every user to feel that his or her calls are being given full and prompt attention." WALTER P. CHRYSLER'S TRAFAK TALKS CAN'T HOLD BACK PEDESTRIANS IN CHICAGO LOOP Z. J. McIlraith, of the Chicago Surface Lines, before the City Traffic Conference in Chicago, made some observations of interest to those concerned with city and town traffic problems. He said: "Progress through streets is choked by loading and unloading at curbs by pedestrians, taxicabs and a dozen other factors that cannot be prevented. On Fifth Avenue in New York, the average speed is 5 miles per hour; for buses it is 26 miles per hour. In Chicago loop it is 11 miles an hour and that is from 50 to 100 per cent faster than it was three years ago. storage space on the walks to accommodate them while waiting. If a person is alert enough to be in the loop at all, that person is alert enough to move from curb to safety zone, or all the way across the street, without having to wait for traffic. They must be allowed to sift through traffic, there are many of them. That's a situation peculiar to that section; it would not apply somewhere else. "Synchronized rights, causing cars to stop, defeat the purpose for which signals were established, which is to move traffic." Most cities are trying to encourage "At State and Madison Streets— Chicago at the busy hour 1,100 persons pass from curb to curb every minute.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice? Washington, D. C., (Special). There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Kaff. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Eisenhower; and reached its zenith under President Johnson. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the castellers in this city in the district, restricting white white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican situation and not Democratic one. Negroes by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious, held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after passing the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they daily refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, word is law there, as he the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Davis. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the former favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declaration on democracy. In operation here, would it even cost him a single vote and where he has a power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief temetures of the king, who, in ground's "welcome home" in the Republican party, and in the condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffive segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, is far less gallant to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government that is taking their taxes, 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 render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whiche and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is well attempted in the toiletls. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant meeting with the employees of the "postoffice employees" yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These old girls got to work. These color workers giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of cases. The color clerks have dared to form a union when it is regularly and often sends many and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.---the government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept interior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large caterain in this huge structure where all of the employees may go out of the way a few tables and into the one reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the places, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in ruil 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 drive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American band named Bendell helped 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 abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of the most important people in the social equality" and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building aline in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to disperse the pistol. He was charged and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons on which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a leader of the Civil War, wife of Senator Robert La Follette, Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem ober of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared the new girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! abolition of the division altogetner; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loca a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly 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. Oswald Garrison and camp and cabin Hite House and Cabin and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Doug g as helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in the three rooms, toilets, and voting stations, of none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are all hopelessly destroying this inquisitive practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the President was a man of Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national Constitution, enceased the Civil War; and Ohio's massacre, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can be no more. There is the same clerks complain the same clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to wear masks to stare the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the creature she encounters creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, Mr. Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Washington, 10. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly the first effect. Increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employ- Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department. Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. LOSES HI S JOB. T. C. Carter was dismissed as executive clerk in the office of Richard C. Bundy of Wilberforce university after he was said to have aided in a recent investigation.—Chicago (III). Defender. Our esteemed contemporary is in error. As a trustee of the State Department at Wilberforce, Ohio, the writer, editor of The Gazette, desires to say that Carter was NOT dismissed, as an employee of the department, because "he was said to have aided in a recent (or any other) investigation". This same thing is true in the case of each of the other six or seven employees dismissed. Ever since they were "fired" such mis-statements, as the Defender's, have been made repeatedly in many of our newspapers and certain Ohio dailies, all with a view to assisting the Ohio state board of control in forcing their re-employment by the board of trustees of the State Department at Wilberforce. Now that the attorney general of Ohio has informed certain meddlesome members of the Ohio state board of control that their board had no legal right to hold up the payroll of the State Department, something it has done in the past when it sought to force the board of trustees of the State Department to do its bidding or that of some of its members, it is to be hoped that an end has been put to not only such harmful interference in the conduct of the Department, but also that the opportunity for disgruntled, dismissed employees to make trouble thru the state board of control and the newspapers has been eliminated for making a careful reading, of the article headed "Wilberforce" in column 7, page 4, of this paper, by all of our editors, particularly. MORE FOOL-LEGISLATION CONTEMPLATED. Our people of Ohio may as well begin now to get ready for another fight, during the next session of the State Legislature, to kill another anti-intermarriage bill which some Kluxer member has already prepared for introduction. As early as the middle of last month the synopsis of an initiated bill of that nature was certified as correct by the Attorney General of the state. The synopsis is in the following language: "To prohibit and make unlawful the inter-marriage of white persons and Negroes and to make such marriages null and void; to make it unlawful for any person authorized to solemnize marriages to perform such marriage ceremony; to provide a penalty for violation of said law; and to define a 'Negro' for the purposes of the act." If the legislators do not pass the "Kluxer" bill, it can be voted on at the next statewide election following the legislative session, if the proper number of valid signatures are fled. Therefore, it is the part of wisdom for us to begin at once to prepare for this battle.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY, (©, 1927, by Western Newspaper Union.) PATHETIC PLEA (Signs of The Times.) (From the Middlesex County Times, London, England.) "We have come from our forest home to see you and speak to you, O White Man. We have heard that you teach men about God, and that He is a God of love. We ask you to the people of the city, to send us teachers, we also are men." These words, taken down by Archdeacon Lloyd as they were said to him eighteen months ago in the heart of Stanley's Forest, Central Africa, by the spokesman-chief of a cannibal tribe, which had traveled far in order to give the message, were read by the Archdeacon in Stowell Hall, Eale upon his course of his address upon "Our Responsibility in Africa," given at a well-attended meeting of the Ealing Rural-decanal Conference. He wished, continued Archeadon Lloyd, to speak to his audience that night upon three aspects of Africa—Africa coming to life, Africa unprepared, and Africa seeking. Africa was coming to life for the first time in its history; it had previously been as one dead, held in the grip of unhindered forces, and taken place all over that hague continent. The African was beginning to realize that he was a man, and that he possessed a glorious country, rich with possibilities. That country was being developed, wealth was flowing into it, but the African was as yet unprepared to meet these vast changes. The African knew he was unprepared, and he eagerly thirsted for knowledge. For instance, he was willing to spend time with the natives of India and God. A man selling Bibles for one or two shillings each, and New Testaments for fourpence or sixpence each, had sold two hundred and forty pounds worth of such books in one day alone. Educational work was the grandest means of evangelizing Africa, but there must be a Christian basis for the work. Education was not a by-product; it was an essential in the work of the church of Christ. "The African, in common with the natives of India and China," he concluded, "is asking, 'Is the claim of Christ to be the world's Saviour true?' and you Christians are called as witnesses in the greatest case ever tried. What is to be your answer?' (From an article by Rev. Dr. Thur- low Fraser, in the Manitoba Free Library.) Basil Matthews, in his book, "The Clash of Color," tells of a remarkable school in Kandy, the ancient hill capital of Ceylon. It is Trinity College, with an attendance of five hundred and fifty boys. "They are boys of all ages from nine to nineteen; of them eighty-five, forty-five, dark brown; boys of over a dozen race divisions, including Singalese and Tamil, Burmese and Burgher (mixed European and native), English and Scottish, Negro Baganda from Africa, and Chinese; and of many religions, including Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, and Christian; boys who put up a cricket team that has its own pitch, and a field for island competition, and who plunge down into the slums of Kandy to take first aid to people who are ill and poor, and to carry them off for boating excursions." So effective was their social service that at the request of the civic authorities these boys were sent to the need and possibilities of housing to do away with the slums of Kandy, and on their survey subsequent legislation was framed and houses have already been built, and are being built. Indeed, we have the public that we have the Governor of Ceylon that we have the occurrence of boys, while still at school, making the laws of their country." The remarkable thing about the performance of these boys was that they entirely eliminated race and color distinctions from their relationships. Boys of every shade of color and of ever a dozen different races could play in perfect team play. In the same way, boys were for all the different races and creeds of their city and districts without the slightest trace of discrimination. The old bitterness of racial hatred, the cheap sneers and jibes and jeers, which are far more common in the Orient than even among the whites, appeared entirely. What was the secret? It is that they were out to serve. They were banded together to fight, not one another, but the common foes of all mankind, poverty, ignorance, dirt, disease, and vice. They were thinking of how much they could do to help their fellow human beings. They were out to discover how much they could give, how much they could get. That was what they were the spirit of the boys of Trinity College, Kandy. They still professed different religions, Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, Christian, and others. But the whole school had become imbued with the spirit of service of the Christian men from Britain who had laid downensions and shaped its character, and had learned to race hatreds and class hatreds had disappeared. "I am among you as he that serveth." That is the secret of human brotherhood. The San Diego N. A. A. C.
