II They Don't Accept Arbitration Then
Negroes Will Get Their Places.

There was no trouble along the subway
yesterday as the result of the determination
of the striking Italian laborers not to sub
nit their demands for more pay and shorter

decided tina, il would be well to give the
Italians one more chance to reflect on their
course.
The Italians are to have a meeting at

again vote on the proposition to submit
their demands to arbitration: The chances
are that the vote will not be SO strongly
against arbitration as it was on Thursday.
No attempt to put men in the places Of
the strikers will be made until after the CON-
ference Tomorrow. Ii the Italians are not
ready TO arbitrate by that time the chances
are that the sub-contractors will begin TO

The Manhattan Liberal Club discussed
the negro question last night. Moncnre
D. Conway, without any special reference
to anything else that was said in the course
of four hours Of general discussion, de-
clared that "the white people of the world
are only the reflex Of leprosy, anyway"
and that -the normal and only natural
color Of human beings is brown or black"
Mr.. Conway didn't develop this particular
thought, to the apparent disappointment
OF some Of his hearers, but he made 1t plain
that to his mind there Is an inequality of
races and that the blacks have the best Of it.
James ID. Carr, a negro lawyer and former
Deputy Assistant District Attorney under
Asa Bird Gardiner. was the principal
speaker. He said that the Improvement
of the negroes in this country since they
were freed has never been equaned by any
race in history, q nd that their former friends
in the North who are now repuiiating them
are either wolves in sleeps ch,thing or
