Strong action against residential
segregation will be taken by the
newly created Commission on Inter
racial Relations at which was the
outgrowth of the interracial con-
ference held at the Bowen Country
club last week. The conference was
under the joint auspices of the
Chicago Urban League and the In
terracial commission of the Chicago
Church Federation. The conference
lasted two days and wat perhaps
the most effective conference held
in recent months.

resolutions adopted by the confer

people to refrain from signing such

Frankness characterized the dis
cussions which dealt with unemploy-
ment and housing. Subjects which
have formerly been avoided at con-
ferences came in for thei. full share
Of criticism and when one OF the
white delegates attempted to tell
the colored delegates that "colored
people should be patient" he was
challenged by several Of the colored
delegates who expressed the feeling
that Negroes had been patient long
enough. The campaign which was
conducted by THE CHICAGO
