Tells Coimittee They WilU IHaie to vet Another Chairman. Washington, Nov. 12.-Offended by the tone and miner of their chair nan,. W. M. Trotter, of Boston, Pres ident Wilson today ended anl inter view with a delegation of negroes who .alled at the White House to Irotest igainst race segregation in govern 3uent departments, with at warning that if the negroes wanted to see him again ,hey would have to got another spokes 4ian. The President said he had not been addressed lit such fashion since tio entered the White House. A fifteen-minute interview had been irranged for the callers and the Pres Ident recieved then In his office with mnly his stenographer present. The Jelegation conpalned formally that Postmaster General Burleson, Secre Lary 'McAdoo and Comptroller Wil Hlams, of the treasury, were enforcing segregation of white and negro em ployees in their offices. %Ir. \Vilson lis Lned to the statement and then replied at length, explaining that lie had ii vestigated this matter himself and had beenl assured that no discrimination liad been practiced gainst the ne groes and that segregation had been inaugurated to avoid friction be tween the races, not to injure the no gro. le added that lie was deeply in terested in the negro race and ad mired it for the progress it had made. At this point Trotter and others of the delegatioi took issue with the President. They declared the negro people did not seek charity. or assist mnce, but held that they had equal rights with the white and that these rights should .be respected. There had been no friction, they insisted, before the segregation was started. Mr. Wilson waited for the protest to eid. Then lie told the delegation that h% could not discuss the matter fur ther. He closed with the quiet, but emiatic statement that Trotter had loit control of his temper and that he (the lresident) could not be talked to In such a m'iner. When the negroes left they saId their talk had been "thoroughly disappoint ing" and that they would hold a mass meeting in Washington next Sunday to protest further against segregation. Trotter said in his address that hIs committee did not come "as wards looking for charity, but as full-fledged American citizens, vouchsafed eqtal ty of citizenship by the Federal (on st Itution. '"Two years ago," said Trotter, "you were thought to be a second Abraham Lincoln"-the President tried to in terrupt, askirig that personalities be left out of the discussion. Trotter con tInued to speak, and the President if nally told him if the organization lie represented wished to aplroach him again it must choose another spokes man, adding that lie had enjoyed IfIs TI1ON ~ed a good, oom to shave n.

The President told 'Irotter that he was an American citizen as fully as inyoni else, but that he (Trotter) was le uniy Amerieani citizen who ever lad collie into the Whitd House and ddressed the President in such a tone Ind with such a backgroun of pas don. Here Trotter denied that he had my passion, but the President told iii lie had spolled the cause for which te had come, and said e hexpected hose who professed to be Christians .o come to him in a Christian spirit. The negro spokesman continued to irgue) that lhe was merely trying to show how -the negro people felt, and Isserted that he and others were now icing branded as traitors to their race )Ocausei they advised the negro people 'to suplport the ticket." The mention of votes cause .I\,. Wil son to say politics must be left'out, ecause it was a form of blackmail. Ile saii ie wiuld resent it as quickly From ole set of iu'en as from another, lnd that his auditors could vote as they please, It inattered little to him, so long as lie was sure lie was doing Jte right thing at the right time. Th'l lPresilent spoke frankly, saying that it' the negro people had inade a mistake in voting for him they ought to correct it, but that lie would inlist that politics should not be brought li to the question because it was not a political probl0m. With some emotion hIe tiecar]red he was not seeking office, Illnd Ihat a ian who sought the oflice if the1.' lresidlenicy was a fool for his paills. Ile spoke of the Intolerable burden if the ofilce and of things which lie h1ad to d0 whilh were more than the ihuman spirit could carry. Emplihasizing that he did not care lI tie least for the political considera ions Involved, .\Ir. Wilson urged that me wanited his auditors to understand Aiat it -was a human piroblem and not I political probl em. While the Amer ,an people wanted to support the ad Vancement of the negro, the President was suire that, as practical men, every b)o(y knew that there wvas a point at which friction is apt to occur. The question must be stripped of sentiment lnd viewed in its facts, because the facts get telie better of the Individual whether one (desircd it or1 not. h'lle President said Ie thought his (ol'0leagues in the government depart imieiits were not. trying to put the negro at a disadvantage, but snimply to make arran gemnentIs which would prevent frictlion. lie addedl that the question involved was not a tiluestionl of intriln sic quailties, because all had human souls and vere e(ual in that respect, but that for the present it was a ques. tioin of econoiic policy whether the negro race could do the same things that the w%'hite race could do with etual etlicieney. lie said lie thought the negroes wero proving that they could, and that every one wished to lielp thei so that they would not be so dplendvient, 111 that their coniitions of labor would lbe bettered.
