Mrs. Ernest Ballard introduced the speaker of the afternon, Mr. Horace Bridges, president of the Urban Lea- gue, whose subject was "The Race Problem." The speaker referred to the influx of negro population in Chi- cago due to the shortage of labor during the war and, while their la- bor was welcomed yet no provision was made for adequate housing facil- ities. Refusal was given for allowing the negro to move into quarters where none had been previously; con- sequently their quarters are over- crowd and unsanitary, contributing toward crime and disease. The negro should be given a fair, unhampered opportunity to do what he is capable of doing. Mr. Bridges told of the progress made by the negro in the past sixty years in education and art and paid tribute to their loyalty dur- ing the last war.
