That Labor Resolution.
The weak resolution thrown as a
SOP to the mass of Negro workers,
was finally reluctantly passed in
this form: at is the sense of the
Negro Sanhcdrin that the exploita-

between capital and organized labor
is unfair and detrimental and that

And the nearest these real estate
sharks came to mentioning the ter
rible housing conditions for which
they are responsible and by which
they made their money was "com-

Compare this to the clear cut pro.

Workers Party delegates to the con-
ference, which was turned down by
the big business interests.

The Workers Party and the labor
delegates proposed the following as
a housing program:
'"The Sanhedrin conference de-
clares itself unalterably opposed
to the segregation Of Negroes into
''black belt" residence districts.
We declare the discrimination
against Negroes in regard to
which part of city they may live
in and which part they may not
live in, is a political question,
and must be dealt with just as
we deal with discrimination in
voting. The time has come when
the living accommodations of the
public cannot be left to the pri-
vate control of few wealthy
parasites who decide where the
colored man may live and where
he may not live.
"We demand legislation by
which all tenements, apartment

LAPS PIN HOPE ON
 DISTANCE EVENTS
Marathon Races Are Only Chance
 for Easterners.i in Olympics

Tokio, June S--Japan's middle and
 long distance runners carry her great
 est hopes for breaking into the point
 column in the Olympic games at | Paris. If is from the distance runners
 that most is expected, The national
 Olympic tryouts held in Tokio recent
 ly uncovered two hitherto unknown
 stars who have a better chance than
 any others of the small band soon to start for Paris. of carrying the Ris- ing Sun emblem to victory.
 l Shizo Enaguri, graduate of the Toliio higher normal school and now a To-
 kio teacher, won the marathon in the very ereditable time of e:3s;9, less than four minutes slower than the time made by kolehmainen. the Finn, in winning the long distance classic at Antwerp in 1890. The course over which Kanaguri made his record is not A trying ono, hut the race was run in the rain, and his performance speaks well for his chances at Paris.
 A small, bespectaeled youth, kiku- nosuke Tajiro, Of Chuo university, scored decisive victory in the 10000 metre run, negotiating the distance in 32s4s 3-5, The winning time at Ant werp was 5l:45 s-5, which indicates that Tairo also has chance at least to score.
 If Japan scores at all at Paris she will take pride in the results. ft was a shock to the athletic fans of this country when their 1920 Olympic team failed to bring back single point.
 Eight track and field athletes, five swimmers and one wrestler were named by the executive committee Of the Japan Amateur Athletic assocla- ton after the tryouts 10 represent Japan at Paris. Three Of these men already are in America or Europe. The rest, accompanied by a small stan of coaches, trainers and officials, have sailed.
 Japan also plans 10 be represented in the tennis events Of the Olympiad, but the team has not been named. If possible it will be composed of men who will also be members of the Da- tis cup team, most Of whom are al- ready in the United States. Tennis was the only branch of the Antwerp games in which Japan made a credit able showing lchiya kumagae mak- ing his way into the semi finals and Kumagae and Kashio also reaching the final round in the mems doubles, where they lost to Turnbull and Woosnam, the British pair.

ONCE EXECUTIONER, NOW PEDDLES RUGS
Notorious Character in Russia RepentS Of Deeds, Turns Meek

Tinis, Russia, Oct, 31. - Ono Of the most remarkable and notorious characters in Russia is a Russian German named Nicholas Shuman, who is called the Commissar of Death" by the natives of Georgia, He derlves this sinister title from the fact that for a long time he was the official executioner of the dreaded Cheka in southern Russia. His victims ran into the thousands.
 Shuman is now remorseful for all the heads he has cleaved, and has turned from human butchering to rug-selling in the bazaars Of 1iflis. He may be seen any day hawking his wares to American or other for eign visitors to the Georgian ca pital. He is easily identified by the na- tiyes by the fact that his harsh, de- termined face Is marked by deep scar, the result of a violent attack made upon him with a huge iron spike by an aggrieyed Georgian whose friends shuman had put to death.
 q killed these people" said Shu- man to the correspondent, "because 1t was my duty as official execu- tioner for the government 10 do so. I could never have done 1t in my personal capacity. I am repentant and want to forget the past. want 10 develop my better side. Do you think there is any chance for me in America as a rug merchant? l hear you have much money there.

such surroundings 1t is difficult to understand how the present form of Buddhism (Lamalsm), as prac- ticed In Tibet, could ever have sunk to the depths of degradation 1t has reached,
 But the interior of the Potala Is curiougly disappointing, as 1t consists principally of mass of dark passages and cells certain number of halls and flights of steps, Among the larger hall were several striking ones, especially that in which was the gilt tomb of Nag wang-Lob- Gya-tsho; the dcAne of this hall extended upward through several stories. On the tomb there was great deal of metal ornamentation and the whole formed q fine piece of work, On each side of the principal tpmb were similar ones of smaller di- mcnsions. those of Dalai Lamas less notable.
 Gold Images and Butter Lamps
 Tn another room of fairly large dimensions the walls were lined with shelves from floor 10 ceiling, each shelf closely packed 10 it's ut termost extent with images of Ruddha. There must have been thousands of all metals - gold. silver. copper, brass - and many were of very beautiful workman ship. In another chapel there were hundreds of golden butter lamps,
 Tt would be quite impossible to give even a semblance of 9 plan of this conglomeration of buildings, and 1t would take weeks, perhaps months, to visit every part of inc enormous structure, capable of holding thousands of people,
 Prom the flat roofs of the Po- tala the whole valley lies mapped out below - the town to the east q mass of low, twO-stOricd, sub stantially built houses interspersed with temples: the Jo-khang, the most holy shrine in Tibet; the Chagpori, or school of medicine; the Turquoise Bridge (YutoB Sampa), so called on account of its green-b blue tiled roof; the many channels of the River of Delight (the Kyi-chhu), beyond which lies the Arsenal, and to the north the Monastery of Sera under the hills containing 5000 monks. Further or the Debung Monastery with 1o,70t inmates; the gided roofs of the Nal Chung -chos-kyong; and the Ling -Kor, the Sacred Road, along which all devout Buddhists pros trate themselves in the hope tha all their earthly sins may be for given, could be seen in places.
 There are monks everywhere 1T or near Lhasa. The three large monasteries of Sera, Debung anc Gah-dan alone contain about 20,' 900 and with all the other temples and monasteries the number can not fall far short of 30,000, while the lay population of Lhasa onl! amounts to about 15,000 of whin 5000 are women, who, strange tc say. carry on practically the whole of the trade done.

ELECTRICITY FOR
 FORBIDDEN CITY
LhaSa, Seen by Few Whites, i Will Make Forward Jump

Washington, D. C. Oct. Sl, - "Lhasa, capital of Tibet, the For biddcn City which n all its exist ence has been visited by only n handful of white men. is reported about to make a jump into twen- tieth century methods by construct ing a hydro electric plant" says a bulletin from the Washington, D, C., headquarters of the National Geographic society, which quotes from d communication to the so- cicty from John Claude White, one of the few wcsterncrs ever ad- mittcd 10 the city.
 "Lhasa, the Place of the Gods well deser, es it's name, as any thing more beautiful can hardly be imagined than the vision of the sacred city set against its magnih- cent background of snow-capped mountains. Whether seen on a bril- liant day, under a cloudless sky, during a thunderstorm, painted in soft, glowing tints by one of the wonderful sunsets seen only in Ti- bet, or by moonlight when with outlines softened and toned down, the Potala stands out like a phan- tom castle in ghostly spendor from among the shadows of it's sur rounding trees, all aspects are equally lovely.
 City Dominated by POtala
 ''The Potala is by far the finest building and eclipses all others In the beauty of its appearance. The present Potala was commenced in 1e45 by the Grand Lama Nag wang Lob-sang -gya-tsho, on the same site as former building; and there Is no doubt, think, that the ritv is an ancient one and was in existence more than 1900 years ago, although we can find 10 re- cords giving any authentic histori- cal account.
 "The Potala dominates every thing in Lhasa. The enormous mass of buildings, partly monastery, partly palace, and partly fortress, is built on a rocky ridge which stands out in the center of the valley, con- manding the town and dominating the landscape. Its architecture is magnificently grand, bold in outline and design: it towers above every- thing, with it's gray white walls and buttresses, its immense flights of steps and terraces dotted with red-robed monks ascending and de- scending from religious cere- monies; its dull madder-red temple walls, with carved and painted windows, showing behind black brown yak's hair hangings' sur mounted by it's gilded roofs and sci in almost parklike surroundings of trees and meadows, with snow capped mountains on all sides and the Kyi-chhu, the River of De- light, running clear in many chan nels through groves of willow q poplar.

HOLIDAYS IN RUSSIA
Russia Becoming Less of Work mans Paradise With Every Year.

London. Oct. 31. --- Soviet Russia is becoming a little less each year, it is said. the paradise for the workingman that it started out to be. This is particularly so in the matter of working days. as shown by figures published by the Rus sian trade delegation.
 The workers of Russia now labor 26o days out of the year while in 1921 they were compelled to work only 221 to be law abaiding citizens. Last year the holidays recognized by the government and Sundays gave the workers 105 days of leisure. which is 39 less than they had in 1921.
 In 1923 the working hours for each man were 1,94s, an average of less than eight hours working day. Under the czar the working hours averaged about 3,10o year.
