that residents and property owners In
some sections of Harlem, where negroes
have settled during the last couple OF
years. are forming themselves into syn
dicates and associations for the pur-
pose Of buying up flats tenanted by
the negroes.
The purpose of this is to compel the
negroes to leave their present quarters
and settle elsewhere. The men behind
the movement declare they will not
tolerate any negro invasion of good
neighborhoods. From this it appears
that the anti-negro sentiment is just as
strong in one section of the country
as in another when the situation is
really brought home to white people.
1t is all very well for some people to
try to make capital out of friendship
for the negroes, but when it comes
right down to having them settle as
neighbors to white men, the latter are
Just as quick to resent it in New York
