Employment discrimination against negroes in government departments in Washington also was reported. “It is the belief, as a result of in- vestigations says the report, “based upon experience and proof that it is the settled policy at present of many of the heads of the federal depart- ments to discriminate against colored people. The policy of the civil ser- vice commission in requiring photo- graphs of applicants permits of color discrimination in an easy way and is followed by many of the departments. The reports of the association’s fight | against lynching show that 67 persons were lynched in 1918, of whom 4 were white men and 5 were colored women. Among the offenses charged | against the victims of lynchings were: | “creating disturbance,” stealing hogs,” one case of “aiding mob vic tim to escape,” and six of ‘“conspiracy to avenge killing of relative.” Four- teen lynchings occurred following charges of he “murder of civilians,” and four on charges of “shooting and wounding.”" “In three cases of record,”” says the report, “the press | has spoken of the innocence of | vietims.” DUTCH ISSUE DENIAL Government Makes Official Announce- S O TR of Citizenship.
