WHAT TRUSTEES SAY Nearly 1,500 persons responded to a call for a meeting of cok red citizens, held last night at Vermont Avenue Baptist Chure to record a protest agairst what the pro- jectors of the meeting termed unjust dis- crimination on the part of the colored mem- bers of the board of school truste2s and many teachers, in favor of mulatto as against black children. Most of the speeches were marked with intense earn- estness. Several United States Senators, among them Mr. Marion Butler of North Caretira, had, it was stated, promised to attend the meeting, bui at the last moment found themselves unable to he present. ‘The meeting was called to order by Mr. Oliver ©. Black, who stated. the object of the gathering. Mr. Black had hardly got- ten well under way before he was inter- rupted by a friend, who said he desired to remind him that the meeting had not been opened with prayer. “That is all right," replied Mr. Black, “we will go ahead with the meeting now, and have the prayer afterwards. Resuming his address, Mr. Black charged that through the connivance of some lead- ing colored people here the treasury of the United States has been greatly overcharged for lots which ve been Id to the gov- ernment for school purposes, and that the time had come for a change in the board of school trustees. in fact, said he, the time to do this arrived some ume azo, and we made 1 to the Di ict Commis- sione to come to our r » but they did not do so, Mr. ck said that not until the lot was purchased for the* erection of a pubiic schocl on P street had ground in that juare sold for more than 50 cents a foot. t when the bill reached the Treasury artment it was found to have been ap- proved for $1.10 a square foot, the re- sult was that the government had to pay se 1 thousand doliars more for it than Was neccssary. A similar state of affairs, he asserted, existed at Ivy City, when the District wanted to bay a loz for school pur- peses there. The owners of the property Weuld have willingly sold it for $40 before it was desired to put a school building upon it, but when the government paid for it the Was $566. Another case was that of the lot for a school building in Southe hingion, a 1 value, Mr. Block claimed, was kK maintained, and he instanved in whieh he declared mulaito he schools were given adv: k children, and he urged on of atfairs should not be tages over that this con submitted to any longer without making ab appeal to Congress for relief.

Mr. Moore is a very black man. In part he have no prejudice against any man ¢r woman on account of their color, -but the rot the shghtest doubt that the women Columbia the colored ict ot st by are discriminated teachers. I have gone into » of the schcols quietly and taken a seat where I 8 not likely | observed, and I have seen the ers treat the yellow pupil in the most affec- Uonate menner, while they would not let the black child come near them. “If we draw the line ourselves, what can we expect from the white people, who haté been in the ascendancy for almost two thousand years? These yellow people to whom I weve referred should remember that two hundred years ago there were no mulattoes; the colored people in those days were all Hack, and somebody Is respon ble foc the many varieties of the race there are t present. hings have pregressed to that state with the colored race that there is a broad avenue between Its members, and when one of our own people wants to be a leader and do something to promote the weifare of his fellows. at once there is a hue and cry aad an attempt to put him down, and it is generally successful. “The black man who carries the hod does not want his boy or his girl diserimi- nated against In school because their hair curls. I have a fricnd who has a daughter in school, and she is as smart es you find them. She has been expecting to graduate fer three years past, but because she is black her teachers put her back every year.” Mr. Moore remarked that he must be careful about what he said in reference to color, as he did not know but what he might have some octoroon, cataroon or mrsharoon relations. In speaking about the cases of discrim- ination, Mr. Moore said that a few weeks ago the major commanding one of the High School battalions, a young man who had worked his way up from the ranks be- cause he had been able to demonstrate his Castoria For Infants and Children.

Mr. Lee on the Color Line. Rev. George W. Lee made the closing speech, He began his remarks by relating an anecdote of a colored boy in the south, who seemed to have an idea that all he went to school for was to get an office. “Why,” Mr. Lee asked, “did I want to be appeinted a school trustee? Because,’ sald he, answering his own question, “I wanted aa office.” The audience roared with laughter, ané Mr. Lee went on with is remarks: “Seriously, however,” said he, here is entirely too much discrimination on the part of the colored people against each cther. But I don’t wonder that the mulattos dogt want to mix with the tacks. The truth is there has been too ixing among the yellow people ul- he average of his color, could g Mr. Jo ing first Then, looking at the reporters, who were seated at a table near by, Mr. Lee said: “There are only two races that have any reason to be #roud of their color; yours and mine. “So far as the charge of discrimination against black children in the public schools is concerned, 1 have never investigated a single case in the District of Columbia, nor will I do so until I ant a school trustee. I am after competency in the schools, and J don’t care whether the teachers are ycl- low or black, so that they are properly qualified to give our children instruction. “At this time the District Commissioners will listen to no complaints from us. Their ear Is turned toward the White House to hear what is said to them from that di- rection. If they were elected by the peo- pie of the District they would, when citi- zens call to see them, put out a heap more chairs for those who have business with tnem, and there would be several more nimble backs in the board room, if there was any way to affect their tenure of office except through the President.” Mr. Lee made a plea for suffrage, and, in concluding, remarked: ‘I think Congress ought to rise and take us back into the Union.” Mr. Blake's Remarks, During the evening Mr. E. M. Blake, chair- man of the legislative committee of the Federation of Labor, addressed the meet- ing by invitation. He remarked that he had been given personal credit for the success of the appeal before the Senate of the United States in favor of the appropriation for the erection of a school building for colored children in the southeast section of the city, though he was entitied to only a small por- tion of the credit. The credit belonged to the local federation of organized labor, of which he was the servant. “The Federation of Labor,” he said, “is sensitive where the rights of labor are over- looked, and are ever willing to champion the cause of the friendless or oppressed. “Learning from a gentleman that the party whose duty It was to represent the in- terest of the colored school children had discriminated at a hearing before the House committee in favor of additional school upon the Issue of the morning weather mop/tind fiat until dark may he expected during the follow.ns thirty-six: Uculurly the last twenty-four hours of that period. ‘They are to be read tron downward.

The orgarization I have the honor to rep- resent believes that the contract system | conducive to fraud with all its demoraliz. | ing effects upor. public and private life, and | (hat it lowers the standard of living among working people, making their labor ma- | terial for speculation among contractors, | The bad effects of this system are felt to a | larger extent by the District workingmen than by cur brothers in « governed by the right of suffrage. In other ¢ very few contracts are given to forelen con- tractors, while all contracts for large edi- fices erectel in t ist are given to contractors from: eastern order to underbid our the | | fos cities, and rict contractors in base their estimates on lower wag: than are paid to home labor. Thus they import their workmen at low wages. Many of these workmen, when rleted, are stranded here, and their pres- ence serves to depress the local labor mar- Ket. Many of them, too, are forced to seck ald of the Asscciated Charities during the winter, that they may be on hand to furnish the non-union contractors with the oppor- tunity for foreing further cuts in wages. ‘The contract s tem, as thus applied, be- comes merely a system of speculation in human labor, in human life and happiness, and the agitation against the iniquitous sys. tem should be kept up until the government shall pass me measure in favor of day labor on public buildings and public works.” Mr. Blake explained at considerable length, and In a manner which elicited evi- ‘ences of hearty approval of his utterances, the manifold evils of the contract system, and" referred to the recent importation of Italians to do District work. He also com- plimented che congregation of the church in which the meeting was held upon the fact that their edifice was erected, so far as it was possible to do so, by men of thelr own race, and in all instances good wages Were paid. The Catholic University build- ings were also, he said, erected by union labor, after an appeal to the pastors of the churches, although the contractors wanted it otherwise, and a similar course will be attempted in regard to the proposed A\ - can University. eats the job is com- WHAT COLORED TRUSTEES SAY, They Resent the Charge of Favorit- ism in the Schools. Mr. L. A. Cornish, one of the colored school trustees, was visited’by a Star re- porter today. Mr. Cornish is employed in the sixth auditor's office, and it would be difficult for one a stranger to him to tell he was a colored man. He has blue eyes, grayish brown hair and‘a light, thin beard, almost silky in texture. ' Mr. Cornish said he felt sorry for men who would make charges of favoritism in the public schools, either in the selection of teachers or the treatmettt of “pupils. “I do not care to dignify their assertions by declaring them to be false,” said Mr. Cornish. “If you would talk with the black teachers who are employed in the public schools of the District you would find that there was no grounds for all these mis- statements. “The system cf selecting teachers," 2on- tinued Mr. Cornish, “prevents the exercise of favoritism. “The teachers are chosen from among the graduates of the Normal School. A pupil passes through the graded schools and en- ters the High School. Each year there is an examination of High School students who want to enter the Normal School, and those who pass the highest are admitted. The system does not permit of favoritism, and if there are more light colored pupils who pass first-class examinations than there are dark colored the trustees and teachers cannot be blamed for it.” Dr. Shadd’s Points. Dr. F. J. Shadd, who is one of the col- lasses living in the | ‘ored members of the school board, speak- |irg of last night’s meeting, said to a Stur Teporte: “I don't see anything I can say, except that there is not a word of truth in the charges that.were made at the meeting last evening. So far as I can see, the whale motive and animus fer the charges lie in the fact that the prime movers in the mat- ter last evening want to have us fired from the school board, and some of their own members put. in instead. “All the graduates from the colored sckools desire to become teachers. As we can appoint orly twenty each year, there are a great many who are dissatisfied and believe that discrimination has been made against them. This agitation clearly proves that we need a a:fferent kind of education for 9) per cent of the colored people of the District of Columbia. I believe that if more attention were paid to industrial work and a special school for industrial training were started It would enable the vast majority of these pupils to be edu- cated so that they could obtain work, in- stead cf all sitting around and trying to be teachers and lawyers and doctors. “If such a school were established it would take the place for the colored pupils that the Business High School fills for the white pupils, and fully 75 per cent, if not more, of all the colored high school pupils would elect the industrial course, realiz- ing that thereby they would be fitting themselves with the wherewithal to earn an honest living through the medium of skilled labor.” Ex-Senator Bruce's Remarks, Ex-Senator Blanche K. Bruce, who is also a member of the board of school trustees, when called upon by a Star re- perter, said: “I have read the published proceedings of the mass meeting held last night and find nothing therein calling for special notice from me. “The trustees of the public schools hold their appointments from the Commission- ers of the District. They are well known to the community and were selected on ac- count of their fitness for the places they hold. They receive no reward for their services beyond the satisfaction found in the knowledge of having faithfully dis- charged a public duty. ‘They have com- mitted no offense and feel that they need no defense. Their official proceedings are cpen and above board, and they welcome intelligent suggestion ‘and even criticism when it is honestly inter.ded —_—_. __ A Brilliant Musicale. ‘The musicale at the Litchfield last night in honor of Mrs. Daisy Louise Fox was an enjoyable event, the participants being of recognized talent and preminent ircles here, by Miss Mary E.
