FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
DRAW COLOR LINE

WASHINGTON. March 2s-Protest
has been filed with Secretary Cortel-
you by employees Of the Supervising
Architects office of the Treasury
against the employment Of a negro
drauglntsman in the same room with
the architects. A petition asking for
the transfer or removal Of the negro.
numerously signed. has been presented
to Mr.. Cortelyou and feeling between
some Of the draughtsmen on the sub
ject is so strong that they declare they
win resign their positions rather than
work at The same draughting boards
or alongside Of the negro, who has
just been assigned to the division in
which the plans for all Government
buildings are prepared.
The negro, whose name is William
Cook. was drawn from the eligible list
of the Civil Service, having passed
competitive examination as draughts-
man. No sooner had nc hegun to work
in the Supervising Architects office
Than trouble began. The question was
raised as to what particular draught-
ing board he should be assigned. A
young Virginian. upon learning that
same room. promptly announced his
intention of resigning and walked out
of the room. Another young architect
who was assigned TO design the Same
building as that given the negro pro-
tested vigorously and WAS given an
other task
Soon afterward "a petition was pre-
pared and circulated I'm the draughting
room. The petition recited that the
presence Of the negro was objectionable
to the majority Of the worlmen in the
draughting room and prayed that he be
given employment elsewhere. Il seems
likely that the question win be pre-
scented to President Roosevelt for dect-
sion.
This is the first time in recent years
that the race issue has raised so point
