President Wilson
And Negro Demo
Gratis Clash

Washington, Nov. 12.-Deeply Of
Tended by the tone and manner of
their chairman, w. M. Trotter of Bos-
ton, President Wilson today ended an
interview with a delegation of Ne
groes who called at the White House
to protest against race segregation
in government departments, with a
warning that if the Negroes wanted
to see him again they would have
to get another spokesman.
The President said he had not been
addressed in such fashion since he en-
tered the White House.
The delegation formally complained
that Postmaster General Burleson,
Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
Williams of the treasury were enforc-
ing segregation of white and Negro
employees in their offices.
Wilson listened to the statement
and then replied at length, explaining
that he had investigated this matter
himself and had been assured that
no discrimination had been practiced
against the Negroes and that segrega-
tion had been inaugrated to avoid
friction between the races, not to in
jure the Negro.
He added that he was deeply inter-
ested in the Negro race and admired
it for the progress it had made.
Issue Taken With Wilson.
At this point Trotter and other
members Of the delegation took issue
with the President They declared
the Negro people did not seek char
ity or assistance, but took the posi-
tion that they had equal rights with
the whites and that these rights
should be respected. There had been
no friction, they insisted, before the
segregation was started
Wilson waited for the protest to
end Then he told the delegation that
he could not discuss the matter fur
ther. He closed with the quiet but
emphatic statement that Trotter had
lost control of his temper and that
he (the President) could not be
talked to in such a manner.
When the Negroes left they said
their talk had been "thoroughlv dis
appointing" and that they would hold
mass meeting in Washington next
Sunday to protest further against
segregation.
Trotter said in his address that his
committee did not come "as wards
looking for charity, but as full-fledged
American citizens, vouchsafed equal

stitution."
Two years ago." said Trotter, "you
were thought to be second Abraham
Lincoln" The President then tried to
interrupt, asking that personalities be
left out of the discussion.
President Bars Trotter.
Trotter continued to speak and the
President finally told him that If the
organization he represented wished to
approach him again it must choose an
other spokesman, adding that he had
enjoyed listening to the other mem
bers of the committee, but that Trot-
ter's tone was offensive. The Presi-

dent told TrOtter that he was an
American citizen as fully as anybody
else, but that he (Trotter) was the
only American citizen who had ever
come into the White House and ad-
dressed the President in such a tone
and such background of passion.
Here Trotter denied that he had any
passion, but the President told him he
had spoiled the cause for which he
had come and said he expected those
who professed to be Christians to
come to him in a Christian spirit.
The Negro spokesman continued to
argue that he was merely trying to
show how the colored people felt, and
asserted that he and others were now
being branded as traitors to their race
because they advised the colored peo-
pie ito support the ticket
This mention of votes caused Will
son to say that politics must be left
out, because it was form of black
mail He said he would resent it as
quickly from one set of men as from
another, and that his auditors could
vote as they pleased, it mattered little
to him, SO long as he was sure he
was doing the right thing at the right
time.
Not Political Problem.
The President spoke frankly, saying
that if the colored people had made
mistake in voting for him they ought
to correct it, but that he would insist
that politics should not be brought
into the question because it was not a
political problem.
With some emotion he declared he
was not seeking office and that a man
who sought the office of the presi-
dopnu wac fool for bic Mains
He spoke of the intolerable burden
of the office and of things with which
he had to do with were more than the
human spirit could carry.
Emphasizing that he did not care in
the least for the political considera-
tions involved, Wilson urged that he
wanted his auditors to understand that
it was a human problem and not a
political problem.
Would Avoid Sentiment.
While the American people wanted
to support the advancement of the Ne
gro, the President was sure that as
practical men, everybody knew there
was a point at which friction is apt to
occur. The question must be stripped
of sentiment and viewed in its facts,
because the facts got the better of the
individual whether one desired it or
not.
The President said he thought his
colleagues in the government depart
ments were not trying to put the Ne
gro at a disadvantage, but simply to
make arrangements which would pre-
vent friction.
Would Help Black Race.
He added that the question involved
was not a question of intrinsic quail
tiles because all had human souls and
were equal in that respect, but that
for the present it was a question of
economic policy whether the Negro
race could do the same things that
the white race could do with equal
efficiency. He said he thought the
Negroes were proving that they could
and that every one wished to help
them so that they would not be SO
dependent and that their conditions
of labor would be bettered
The entire matter, however, should
be treated with a recognition of it's
difficulties. Wilson said he was an
xious to do what was just and asked
for more memoranda from the COM
mittee as to instances of segregation
about which they complained.
