WASHINGTON", Mav 6
Delegates attending the quinquennial convention of the International Council of Women came, face to face with a typically American problem while- assembled to hear a programme of American music. Tho programme was designed to show the development of American music and included negro spirituals of the 1860 period and modern compositions. The Negroes, however, refused to sing because members of their race were not included among tho delegates to the -convention but had been segregated in the audience. When a representative of the negroes announced this decision because of the discrimination against their race all the negroes left the auditorium.
