Mr.. WILSON AND "sEGREGATIoN."

New York.-To the Editor OF THE
APPEAL. Sir: The interview Of Will
liam Munroe Trotter and the delega-
ton OF colored gentlemen with the
President of the United States brings
forward again the burning question of
the treatment OF colOred civil servants
in Washington. The whole incident
shows grimly and forcefully how deep
ly the cOlored people of this country
feel the injustice which Mr.. Wilson,
government has inflicted upon them
and still inflicts.
The National Association for the Ad.
vancement of Colored People has been
fighting segregation in federal depart
ments ever since the first rumor Of it
was made public. Over year ago an
investigator was sent to Washington
and report printed. Since that time
representative of the national as
ISOLATION has kept in close touch with
the local situation, and on one oc.
casion this representative appeared be-
fore the civil service committee and
helped kill the bill of Edwards OF
Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana max
ing segregation legal throughout the
federal civil service. Much of the
segregation has disappeared.
When the U street station of the
Dostoftice in Washington was abol.
ished all the colored men employed
lost their positions, but through the
Intervention of this association three

bureau of engraving and printing
moved to its new quarters it was the
original idea to segregate colored and
white people throughout the entire
building, but through the efforts of
this association there is no segrega.
ton In the lunchrooms or on the root
garden. Segregation, nevertheless,
still exists in the POstoffice Depart
ment and in the Treasury, and pos.
sibly here and there in a small de-
gree in other places.
1t still remains true that for the first
time in half century a President of
the United States and distinguished
members of his Cabinet have deemed
1t necessary for the peace and quiet
Of these United States that clerks in
the federal service, having passed the
same examinations and receiving the
same rate of pay, must be separated
IN their work if the ancestors of any
OF them had drop of Negro blood.
IN some cases the "colored" clerks
have been so white in appearance that
the officials themselves have made
mistakes in classifying them. In other
cases clerks of all colors have pro-
tested against the attempted separa.
ton. Always the separation has
caused humiliation and inconvenience
and added cost.

association will exempIify it's high
ideals. We therefore believe it is suffi-
cient for this board to declare that
no reason exists for any change in
the principles which have heretofore
governed the association in it's re-
quirements for membership"
And we demand Mr.. Hawkins resig-
nation. 1t seems to us that If Mr..
Hawkins could read between the lines
he would send in his resignation and
not wait until it was asked for. We
hope that he will remember that he
is in Providence and not in the South
nor Southwest; now let the board of
directors exact of Mr.. Hawkins an
explanation of his actions which has
caused them to be held up to the
ridicule of the world.
This was one of the times when
the Colored people were united in an
effort and they should be given much
credit for their united stand They
are very jubilant over the victory.

This action was taken by the direc.

AS soon as it became known that
objection had been offered the matter
