moved to its new quarters it was the
original idea to segregate colored and
white people throughout the entire

still exists in the Postof1ice Depart

gree in other places.
It still remains true that for the first
time in half century 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

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

ton. Always the separation has
caused humiliation and inconvenience
and added cost.

forward again the burning question Of

feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson s

and still inflicts.
