MUST WORK WITH NEGROES
No Color Line Admitted Among
Railway Mail Clerks.

Washington. The Postoffice depart
ment does not intend to draw the color
line In The matter Of white and negro
railway mail clerks working together
on the same runs. Although an inti-
nation has been the superintendent of
the railway mail service that while
clerks in the Middle West are prepar-
ing to request the department to effect
a change 50 as TO put The negroes on
runs which will not bring them in
proximity to the whites. it was stated
today that no such discrimination could
or would be made.
The particular objection which it Il
said the white clerks have in the asso-
citation with negroes on long runs is
that they are obliged To eat and sleep
in the same car, the regulations OF tho
department permitting a clerk on such
a run when his work is up to rest. At
certain terminals there are provided
iorgnitories in public buildings, where
the clerks may stay II they see fit to do
so, but these are open to the negro
clerks as well as the whites, and the
department does not see wherein IL has
any province in the matter.
