Gentlemen:
Concerning the incident which oc-
Cured at the Short-Line depot. which
gave rise to some complaints by Col
ored recruits. desire, on behalf of
the Committee on Public Safety. to
say that an investigation was made
OF the occurrence. and the committee
reported that while there was no in
tention on the part of the ladies of
the canteen unit to discriminate
against Colored men or to treat them
discourteously. 1t appears that per
haps the Colored boys may have con
sidered that they had some reason for
feeling that they did not receive just
the consideration to which they were
entitled. However. the committee
wishes the Colored people to under
stand that none of the workers in
any OF the war activities desire to be
in any way unfair or unjust to the
Colored boys. for we realize that they
are offering their lives for their coun-
try as all our soldier boys are doing.
and We want the Colored people to
feel that we appreciate the patriotism
of the Colored soldiers and that in the
future everything will be done to
avoid, II possible. any misunderstand
ings or unpleasantness. and we trust
that the Colored people will take this
expression of our feeling in the spirit
in which It is offered
Yours truly,
JESSE l.. S. BUDGE.
Chairman Committee on Public
Safety.
(The Star trusts that no occurrence
will again happen which will need ex-
planation. Good work Young The
better class of white people are always
with you.)
