Miss May Childs Nerney,
Secretary, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
New York, N. Y.
My dear Miss Nerney:
I am in receipt of your letter of the 26th instant, stating that at the suggestion of Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, you write to ask if I will give your Association my views on the policy of segregating the colored employes, which has of late increased in various Government Departments, including this Bureau.
In reply I beg to say that in this Bureau there has always been a segregation of the two races in the assignment of dressing and locker rooms, and a limitation as to the divisions in which they are employed, and there has been very little difficulty in this respect. Mrs. Hopkins has kindly taken a great interest in the welfare of our employes, and is very familiar with conditions here, and I would therefore suggest that you obtain her views on the subject.
Respectfully,
J. E. Ralph
Director.
