that segregation of colored employees
exists and is increasing, especially in
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, in the Post-Office Department, ana
in the office of the Auditor for the.
Post-Office, which is a part of the
Treasury Department, and that it has
begun in the Washington city post
office. As yet,' segregation has not
been introduced in the Treasury
Building, where there are two hun

In the corridors and offices together
with white clerks. It is defended by
Mr. McAdoo as "an effort to remove
causes of complaint and friction where
white women have been forced unnec

men." But there is no statement that
there have been many such complaints
or that they were heard of under pre
vious Administrations. Nor is it ex
plained why colored clerks are taken
out of rooms in which their sole com
panions are white men, or why, if
there should be segregation because
of the women, the Government does
not segregate all its women clerks.
