All the speakers praised the work of the police and stated that they believed.the districts should be closed and kept dosed. -' â-  Dr. Harris said segregation was dan- gerous because It waa likely to be taken as a remedy. He asserted that dispersion could not be called a cure, but that it waa preferable, because it incited the public to action, while seg- regation favored neglect.

"Let Chicago require every employer hiring gifts for less than a minimum wage pay to register them and let the city appoint a public guardian, who will, when nec- essary, take the place which the family does In many cases, and at the public expense help them until they are able rm Is that to m , %S^Ms&L^sllEyKy In a country which la so thorough- ly devoted to the protection of Amer- ican labor one need not apologise when he calls for such protection.
