The Secretary of Labor is out in
circular which says:
"The so-called Division of Negro
Economics has been abolished by the
is no such thing as segregation
in the economics of colored wage
earners from those of any other race.
It is fundamentally un-American to
create classes or to, recognize classes.
Our laws do not distinguish between
white men and coioied me and any
other class or classes."
While the above is logical and the
rhetoric fine, it is not absolutely true,
because the laws do differentiate be
tween colored men and white men.
However, we are. pleased that the
"Bureau of Negro Economics" is
dead. So far as the editor knows,
THE APPEAL was the only news
paper to protest the formation of
such a segregated bureau. In a long
editorial we called attention to the
absurdity of such a division and
itsin
danger to the colored people in the
formation of jimcrow bureaus.
THE KU KLUX KLAN

Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are
gathered from all parts of the state
for celebration of the founding of
the order on top of Stone mountatin,
six years ago. The original klan was
May 6. Some 5,000 knights
are to be present at the observance
and more than 10,000 candidates are
to be taken into the order, according
to announcement of officials.
The order claims to be 100 per
cent American, and yet its puroose
is to injure, in every way possible,
Catholics, colored people and Jews.
