Whin avid Where They Meet
New York, Jan. 27th — A second
call in person upon Secretsirv Wt**-
of the Interior department in Wash
ington accompanied by a letter ask
end of discrimination against colored
iclerks in that department is reported
to the N. A» A- C- P- by Neval H.
Thomas president ot the Washing
ton branch. The letter, which i
signed bv Messrs. Thomas and Pin
kett, repirsentmg' the N.AA.C F
Robert J Nelson for the Elks, :n
Thos A. Johnson f.>r the Nation.^-
Equal Hii ht ! e, calls attenti"
to the call made bv this oomroitt*-
two months ajjo. *
*" Since then, 15 of tht 21 colore
clerks filed a protest with ydu," j
s tvs the letter, " and an appeal for
relief, placing a copy in the hand*
of Gov. Sprvi commissioner of the
general land office. This is nearlv
*t»vo months ago. and none of us ha-
heard from vou. .?Our committee
waited upon Odv. Sprv
only to have him announc#
willingness tn make any change i:>
present policy."
The letter cites as evidence of
discrimination, 'segregation in one
room of seven colored adjudicators
and continues:
"We find that you,have provided
one efficient colored lady s trro
grapher, Miss Orett^ McRae,' t
apportion her stenographic ser\ic
among these seven colored adjudi-
cators. She i*^ npt allowed tjo to
the stenographic pool, >et her name
i- placed upon the roster and salary
r,»ll of this pool. Whenever she is
a ^sciit. these seven colored, adjudi-
C'llors must; write out their worli in
longhand. transmit it by messenger
and receive transcript the same wav
ne. t-r Lk t g allowed to see this for-
bidden pooh To us this seems like
I renounced discrimination, waste of
public iiu.e and funds, and even
studied insult."
Miss McRae has been a leader in
the fight against segregation, herseif
obtaining the signatures of colored
clerks to the petition agaiiist their
segregation. One white official is
reported to have said that if Miss
McRae "were out of the office, all
would be at peace." Any effort to
oust her will be watched by colored
voters of the entire country.
