coLoRED APPLICANTS REJECTED

The Bee desires to emphasize its
protest against the wholesale discrim'
ination in the Government depart
ments against colored applicants who
have successfully passed the civil
service examination. What does It
mean? The Bee again asks. The col.
ored Americans are loyal to this Gov
ernment and they are doing every
thing in their power to aid the Ad'
ministration in the successful prose.
cution of this war. What offense can
be charged against colored Amert'
cans? The Bee asks again. The bars
have been lifted so that certain ia.
vored class can pass muster without
an examination, while another class
is compelled to enter examination and
after passing successfully is rejected.
What does it mean? A declaration
has been reported to this Office to the
effect that no colored people will be
appointed by this particular official.
In response to the request made by
The Bee last week, many persons
have announced that they have been
rejected by the departments. 1t is
necessary that every colored person
who has been rejected send in his or
her name at once. These names will
be presented to the proper heads at
once. rsi
Advertisements are being published
daily that the Government is in need
Of clerks and other employees for war
work. Hundreds of colored Americans
have applied and been rejected, and
white ones cannot be obtained. Mes
senger boys have been advertised for
and colored people have applied, only
to be refused. Is the assistance Of
colored Americans needed? II So,
they are willing and ready to respond
to their country's call.
If they are needed, and the Govern
ment is in need of help, why. reject
colored applicants? Show one black
traitor in the ranks of colored Amer
leans and The Bee will show you one
million loyal colored Americans to one
black traitor. The Bee appeals to the
President of the United States to di.
rect the heads Of his departments to
lift the bars of discrimination against
the colored Americans. They are
competent and loyal. Then why re-
ject them?
Every Southern railroad discrimi-
mates against the colored people with
out just cause. They are treated az
cattle when riding South. They are
directed to box car with no con-
veniences. Does the colored Amer.
lean deserve such treatment? Mr..
President, we are with you, and, in
the name of God, see that we are
given a fair deal.-The Washington
Cd. CO. Bee.
