THE COLOUR PROBLEM.
IMPRESSED UPON WOMEN’S CONGRESS.
By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received May 6, 1Q.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, May 6.
Delegates attending the quinquennial convention of the International Council of Women, came face to faco with a typically American problem, while assembled to hear a programme of American music.
Tlie programme was designed to show the development of American music, and included tlie negro spirituals of the 1860 period and modern compositions. The negroes, however, refused to sing because members of their race had not been included among the delegates to tlie Convention, but had been segregated in the audience.
When a representative of the negroes announced this decision because of discrimination against their race, all the negroes left tho auditorium.
