SEGREGATION
GETS BLACK EYE
ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF
COLORED PEOPLE INVESTIGATED.
Report Made Public Shows Startling
Conditions-Special Agetn Did the
Work Competition Elimi-
nated-Dark and INSANITY
Rooms Where Colored
People Work.

New York. November 1.-THE Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People today made
public the report of a special agent
sent to Washington to investigate the
segregation of white and colored en-
ployees in government departments.
The investigation was made as the re-
suit of many complaints and inquiries.
The association has twenty branchCs
throughout the country. Moorfield
Storey, of Boston, is President; Os-
wald G. Willard, of New York, is
Chairman of the Board of Directors,
which includes among others, Miss
Jane Adams and Miss Lillian d.
Wald.
The effect of segregation" says
the report, "is startling. Competition
! has been eliminated Those segre.
gated are regarded as lepers and get
what no one else wants. Segregation
in work has been effected so far with
out Official orders. Generally the ex-
cuse is the readJustment Of work to
increase efficiency"
Tkaing up individual departments,
the report says:
"In the miscellaneous and eXamin.
ing division of the Bureau of Engrav
ing and Printing, workers have been
paired according to race. In the Dead
Letter Office of the Postofice Depart
ment colored employe hben vas
segregated back of a row of locker:
: in a corner of the room. In fact, il
this department segregation practi
cally amounts to elimination. In the
Treasury Building colored clerks have
not yet been segregated, but it seems
2 to be understood that as many as pos
1 sible are to be segregated in the Re
l. gistry Division.
e "In the Office Of the Auditor fo
e the Postoffice segregation seems t,
S have been most skillfully worked out

S ing at the asserting machines is en-

STAR THEATRE MANAGER
BEATS UP LITTLE
BOY.

Last Saturday afternoon there
was great commotion ON Cedar
street in front of the Star Theatre.
A Globe representative came on he
scene at the time and upon inquiry
learned that the manager of the
theatre, Mr.. Joseph Star had beaten
up little boy in front of his place.
Mr. b E. Rice, operator for the
Star Theatre said that the boys were
playing in front of the place as
they usually do, and became very
noisy. A man who WAS doing some
electrical work at the place was out
front at the time. Mr., Rice says
he had quieted the boys, and they
were keeping order, but that the
electrician went up the street and
and told the manager, who came
down and proceeded to give the boy
a beating. Mr.. Rice says he told
him he had no right to do that child
that way and Mr. Star told him he
was running the place now, and
do what he pleased to niger
What is a - niger anyhow
he is quoted as saving. 81 will dc
as l please, they will come on to the
show Just the same"
The Star is a theatre run by q
white man for colored people. Fol
a long time Mr. Rice says the treat
mont TO the patrons was mos cor
dial bu Of late there has been quite
change in the attitude of the man
aoemen. and the belief has gotten
into the mind of the proprietor that
the colored people will patronize his
nlace REGARDLESS of wha kind Of
treatment is accorded them.
