CONFERS ON CURBING
OF LAWLESSNESS
[Continued From First Page]
ger told the committee that every ru- i
mor that a negro is carrying firearms I
is investigated.
"These negroes cannot be reformed,
over night. It is a gradual process
and they must be taught that the law >
Is supreme, and then taught to obey
the law. Both the police force in Steel- j
ton and Harrisburg should be in
creased so that the departments are
adequate!y equipped to enforce the
law,'' was one of the statements made'
by Manager Bent during the confer- i
ence.
To Keep Men From Saloons
in speaking of the sale of liquor to
these negroes he explained that the
Bethlehem company will do every-j
thing possible to furnish recreation
which will keep the negroes from
saloons. He told the committee that >
he will do anything possible and will
meet them to discuss the situation
whenever they have further sugges
tions or plans.
Following the conference Chief
"Wetzel announced at police headquar
ters that immediate action will be
taken to prevent the sale of liquor in
discriminately In the city. With the •
co-operation and help of the Steelton
police and the Bethlehem company
force of special officers, the Harris- :
burg official declared that much can
be accomplished to bring about or-1
der and end the wave of lawlessness!
and murder.
Dr. Crampton, head of the Colored
Law and Order League, is also plan-1
nlng a campaign of co-operation |
which will be a big help in educating;
the Southern negroes to become '
peaceful and law-abiding citizens.
