WHITES MOVE WHEN UNABLE
TO GUST NEGROES

Baltimore, Nd, Oct 30.-Colored
families are occupying three houses
in the 100 block of Sharp street,
where. for the last several weeks,
there has been conflict between the
white residents and Colored people
who rented houses there. The block
heretofore has been occupied solely
by white people, and on previous
occasions when efforts were made
by Negroes TO move in the white res
idents intefered.
Yesterday Negro family moved
in at liza Peach alley, and two Col
ored families now occupy houses in
the 1000 block, West West st. 1t
is the first time Negroes have ever
lived in this block of West street.
Last night the house in Peach alley
was bombarded by young white men
with paving bricks. The front door
was battered and the shutters dam
aged. When three policemen appear
ed on the scene the crowd ran away.
The Colored families made no effort
to combat the attacks. This morn
ing there were several brickbats
lying around on the front pavement
and steps and damage to the house
was visible.
The houses on Sharp street into
which Negroes were moving their
furniture were as Ills, 1119 and 1913.
A group of white residents stood on
the pavement watching the furniture
being moved in, and there were sew
eral expressions of 'what'll we do
to them"
Five houses in Sharp ST., block now
are vacant, the remaining white fami-
lies having moved out in the last week.
The remaining white, people say Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Shapiro. owners of
the houses are determined to rent to
Colored families, and because there
is no use trying to prevent occupa-
ton by the Negroes, they will also
move. They said, in addition, that
rents had been increased to $26 a
month from $13 and they would not
pay this much. The Colored families,
they said. are willing to pay this
rent.

LANSING WARNS AGAINST DAN
GER OF REVOLUTION IN q. s.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Albany, N. Y, Oct. 30.-Secretary
of State Lansing pleaded for the
adoption of the League of Nations
in its present form "if for no other
reason than that to reject it would
be to discourage future attempts to
obtain unity of action among the ma
tions in an effort to avoid interna-
tional conflicts" in an address on
"the power of democracy" before the
New York University regents here
tonight. Secretary Lansing express
ed the belief that "if every nation
was democracy in reality, as is
this republic, universal peace would
be an accomplished fact and not a
goal toward which the world looks
with longing eyes, striving to devise
methods by which it may be attain
ed.
until democracy becomes the
standing policy of civilization other

tinuing state of international peace

in recommending that the League of
Nations be given trial in its present
form. Admitting for the sake of
argument" he asserted, "all the faults
and undesirable features which its
bitterest opponents have raised against
the covenant, / am prepared to say
that it ought to be adopted and tried
for it represents today an information
al concert devoted to peace.
'The United States, am oonvin-
ed" he continued. will not be the
nation to check this movement or to
discourage the civilized states of the
earth from seeking by united pur-
pose and counsel to restrain the use
Of force in the settlement of disputes
If, after a fair trial, the league falls
to accomplish its objects, then is the
time by amendment to make the
covenant more efficient
Such action as that which wa
taken by the conference at Paris

for peace, but does not insure it,

NEGRO BANKER SAYS
WAR TAUGHT THE
NEGRO TO SAVE

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct, 30.-A mass
meeting of Negroes in the Pittsburg
district to inaugurate a campaign in
thrift and education among the men,
bers of the Race will be held to-
night in st. James A. NJ. E. church
with John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond,
Va, the only Negro member of the
American Bankers association, as
the principal speaker. The meeting
is the outgrowth of movement OF
progressive Negroes of the East Lib
erty district.
Jno. Mitchell, Junior. President
of the Mechanics Saving Bank
of Richmond, Va, Mitchell has been
member of the association for
fifteen years and was chairman OF
committee which reported yesterday

work among Negroes.

Association, is also fellow in the
Royal Society of Art, London; men,
Der National Geographic Society
member of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science and
UleInDeI VI the NiIiOhai 4huhiNAPS'i
League, according to his business
card.
War Started Negroes to Saving
He said the war started many thou
sand Negroes to saving who had
never saved anything out of their
earnings before. He declared "the
wave of patriotism that swept over
the country affected more noticeably
! the Colored people than any other
class of our citizenship.
| Six banking institutions in Vir-
ginia conducted by Negroes, he said,
purchased directly or indirectly a
quarter of a million dollars worth
of bonds"
The movement among the Negroes
to save their money and at the same
time help their government, he said,
was accenuated by inducements held
out by white employers.
The war and thrift campaign. in
which whites co-operated cultivated
better relationship between the
better class of the Colored people
and the better class of the white
people. One class We'd with the
other class in saving money and
in coming together in meetings for
the purpose of aiding the common
cause"
Country Affected by Hergia.
The hegira of Negroes from the
South to industrial centers of the
North and East, he said, greatly
affected both North and South.
He said the exodus of thousands
of Negroes from the South helped
conditions for those who remained
While he said they stood on the door
steps with handkerchiefs to their
eyes when some departed, that when
others left they hoped they would
never return. He said many shift
less Negroes also left, which pleased
their communities.
He said in the South that both
white and Colored people are deter
mined that the friendship brought
about by the war shall not be dis
sipated by the riots that may take
places between the worthless classes
of both races.

the right to seek employment
under the child labor law.

itanoe to property.
Z. To establish liability to mill
tary duty, as well as exemption
therefrom.
8. To establish the right to vote.
8. To qualify to hold title to. and
buy or sell real estate.
TO- To establish the RICH to hold

into
IL. To make possible statistical
studies of health conditions.

AUTOCRACY IS NOT DEAD.

The hun has been defeated and the
hun kaiser has run away from the
consequences of his crimes. Justice
has come into her own and the dove
of peace has alighted-or is about to
alight-after much weary and aim
less circling about. Nevertheless, au-
tocracy is not dead. Do not deceive
yourselves that you have seen the
last of it.
Autocracy stalks among US every
day-in our homes, in offices, shops
and stores, on the street, at clubs,
lodges and associations. 1t rears its
ugly head in the most unexpected
places and demands tribute of all who
will render it. There is always some
body who wants to be "the whole
show" You've met these autocrats:
the father, the big brother, some-
times an older sister, often the baby,
the schoolmaster, the grand high
something -or-other at the lodge,
perhaps a clerk at the office or others
with limited authority, perhaps a
gang-boss, sometimes Just an ordi-
nary clerk, telephone operator or an
editor who works beside you or with
whom you come in contact every day
as you pass to and fro upon the street
or in places of bushes where both you
and the editor go to buy a pound of
butter or cheese, provided the editor
has the wherewithal to settle the
score.
BY the very nature of things. the
representatives of autocracy are self
blinded cyclists. The ex-kaiser, for
example, was self-confessed expert
IN everything-art, literature, music,
politics, economies, religion, war. 1t
was case of everything and every
body playing second fiddle to his royal
job-lots.
Autocracy is not healthy thing to
have in any organization, whether
that organization be nation, a fam
lily, school, a club, an office, munic-
lpality, church, or great business.
II the spirit of autocracy is allowed
to grow and accumulate power. it
sooner or later brings ruin to the par
ticuar organization in which it is ex-
ercised and confusion to the individ
ual exercising it.
Don't be an autocrat Be willing
to admit that there are others who
may have ability equal to yours.

Prayers of Thousands Offered
Daily For Centenary Success
By Fellowship Organizations
Methodists Enlist Tithers and

in New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Virginia

Methodist Centenary campaigners
are nearing their goal in the stew
ardship campaign which will come to
a climax OH Palm Sunday, April 10,
which has been set aside in the
church drive as Intercession Day. On
that date the campaigners in the
Pittsburgh area hope to have enlist
ed 83,706 members of the Fellowship

more than one-fourth the number al.

tary of stewardship in the area, de-
clares that every place where the
stewardship campaign has been start
ed according to the program it has
been success. In some districts
there has been delay in starting the
program but he anticipates no fail
ures by the individual churches in
the area.
In the Erie conference of the
church there were enrolled on March
10, S,015 intercessors, in the
Pittsburgh conference S.O45 and in
the West Virginia conference $3.50.
To this total of 1853 must be added
the names of several thousands
whose pledges are being received
weekly and whose pledge cards have
poured in so rapidly that it is i'm
possible to get them recorded.
The campaign for 50,223 tithers in
the area also is progressing well re-
ports DIR. Farrar. When the March
report was made up, including rec
ords of all tithers enrolled ND to
February %, the number in the Pitts
burgh area was 4,139. At this time
there were many churches unorgan-
lied and the names of 1,2OO more
ltithers were received within two
weeks after the report was filed. By
the time of the report in mid-April
1t is expected that there will be over
10000 dthers enrolled in the area.
