THREATEN TO RESIGN.
White Draughtsmen Object to Ap-
pointment Of Colored Men.

Another colored man has been appointed
to a position in the draughting division Of
the office of the supervising architect of the
treasury, and the designations Of num-
Der of white men are threatened, although
SO far none has been handed in. Several
months ago w. w. Cook. colored, was GER
titled to the supervising architect for ap-
pointment as draughtsman and when he
went into the Office, among the 100 or more
white draughtsmen, there was CONSERVATION
and much talk. Secretary Cortelyou was
asked to remove Cook, but he said nothing
and paid no attention to the protests. Cook
is still there. A week or SO ago the archi-
tect wanted number of additional
draughtsmen to work upon plans for pub
lie buildings. and called upon the civil serv-
ice commission for eligibles. Among those
certified and appointed was a colored man
named Henry Woodson. He reported for
work Tuesday morning and there was more
trouble in the office.
Both men are reported to be competent
and to be holding their own with white
clerks. The objection to the colored men
among the clerks is that it Is the practice
of the supervising architect to assign three
or four draughtsmen to work together upon
plans for one building. In this way the
whites and blacks are thrown together in
more intimate manner than In other lines
of government work.

Hartman Not Merciless.

Referring to recent interview with Mr..
E. II. Hartman in these columns, in which
he mentioned the criticism he had seen re-
garding his treatment of his employees, 1
have received the following letter from a
gentleman officially connected with the
Southern Pacific railroad, and although 1t
was not intended for publication, am sure
there is no objection to printing it. The
writer says:
You have made an excellent presentation
Of the subject and l read the articles with
much interest. Particularly those which
dealt with your talk with and impression Of
Mr. Hartman. l read with more than Or
binary interest the closing remarks of your
article in which Mr.. Hartman refers with
feeling to the publication which represents
him as a cruel and heartless master. He Is
fully justified An resenting this, as such is
not the case" and he is greatly misjudged
and misrepresented in his relations to his
staff. He should not be judged in these
relations by a standard of himself only,
but along with other men that have occu-
pied prominence in the railway history Of
the country.
I'm the forty-seven years that I have
spent in railway service 1t has been my sin
gular good fortune to become identified
abilities in the country in their time. When
l contrast the personalities, or shall l say
misrepresentation we all have them to a
greater or lesser degree-of the men whom
L
all candor that eXacting as Mr.. Hartman
is in his requirements of his staff in bust
ness matters, this business feature Of his
personality is more than outweighed by his
consideration for them as individuals when
they are in trouble. / do not recall an ap-
peal which 1 have made to him on behalf
of the staff in my bailiwck which was not
willingly granted. and l have every reason
to believe that this will be said of him by
the staff in all the other departments Of the
service.
when one has witnessed, as have done
in my long railway experience, the ruthless
ness and heartlessness with which the staff
and employees have been displaced to incom-
ing interests, the stand taken by Mr. Harri-
man for the retention of old employees and
their promotion as opportunity and ability
combined compensates for multitude OF
personalities which may in themselves be
disagreeable but are not harmful.
II have taken the liberty to write you
along these lines in event an opportunity
should occur to set Mr.. Hartman right in
regard to a matter in which great injustice
Is done to him. / am under no obligations
to Mr.. Hartman of any kind. and have
written to you solely in behalf Of that
greatest Of our American characteristics
which calls for fair play"
