COLORED FIREMAN PASSED,

Is Brown Getting Square Deal?

The friends of Logan Brown, our
representative fireman, who took the
examination for the lieutenancy last
July and passed and who has been
serving in that capacity without pay
at Engine Company No. 3, as the rec
ords at the city hall show, for some
reason unknown to the Star and his
friends has not received any appoint
ment to the position he serves. We
are wondering how long man must
serve in such a place, doing the work
of the position, but not getting the
pay, before Commissioner Bailey will
recognize the fact? We are inquiring
who is responsible for such condi-
tion and how long will 1t continue?
