Margaret Hill McCarter, Mother's Day Speaker, Among Many Books, Wrote One of K. U. Campus Life
"The most successful Kansas woman writer financially and the most prolific is Margaret Hill McCarter of Wellesley," she wrote in the book, "A Bundle of Things; Tied Up With Strings"; to the hearty reception of her latest novel, every Nettie Garner in her book, "Kansas Women in Literature," in describing the Kansas author who will speak Saturday at the Mother's Day banquet.

Kansas City Firms Receive Printing Bids for 1930 Jayhawker
Immediately
The Burger-Baid Engraving Company, and the Joseph D. Havens Printing Company, assembled the engravings and printed contracts for the 1930 Jayhawk yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the Jayhawk ad committee.
These two firms have handled the printing and engraving for the Jaybawker for the past several years. "This year the board felt that the situation for the printing and engraving was good, but that a change would be unnecessary. There are very few college annuals that enjoy such a convenient situation as that of having their printers and engravers come up with a plan to create a block apart," John D. Dyer, chairman of the board said this morning.
The contracts were iet by compre-
tive bids on the basis of art work
presented, quality of work, and repu-
sition of the company. The bids
were paid in price. Other companies
that bid on the engraving were
Stafford Engraving Company of In-
dustry of Minneapolis, Minn.; and
the Art-Crafts Engraving Company
of St. Joseph, Mo. Tre Hugh Stephen
Presbyterian Church, also bui-
ded for the printing.
The dayhawk has come to be one of the leading annuals in the United States and for the past two years has been a national contest for yearbooks, winning it in 1928.

Her stories are excellent and have improved as individuals to William Allen White, who is probably the next best writer of stories in Kansas and should be among those who belong to the state."

Death of Women
"National" Causes Local Disturbance With Labor Union
Lawrence Officials Claim University Situation Beyond Their Control
"An irresistible force meeting an immovable object," seems to characterize opinion from the local stage hands union headquarters today concerning the ultimatum in Chancellor agreement, "the University will not yield."
B. M. Howard, newly elected president of the mixed union of film operators and stage hands, expressed him unimpressed with the surprise that the matter reached such a stage as to cause public inconvenience last Wednesday when the patrons of the High School learned that they were to the High School. The men of the union are extremely sorry that such a thing should happen; but the matter has been entirely ignored by the University turned down our proposal approved by the International, that is maximum of four union men be employed and not five, and not just notifiers and regular employees.
University Refuses Proposal
The University took the proposal with alterations for a three man proposal which was turned down by the Inter-American Commission since late in February, in union that no show contains the position entertainers could perform on the campus under International union order.
"The University has never agreed to a four-man arrangement excluding the three men and an electrician. The university proposed three men with an electrician."
Says Local Union Not to Blame
“Dutch” Husband, former president of the organization, who says he joined the union while working his way in school here, asserted years earlier that the blame for the change in place of the Minnesota Symphony performance. That order was directly related to a new deal with the rock festival in negotiations, between the University and the International union. The “unaffir” order came from international headquarters by way of an email. We had nothing to do with it.
Later yesterday it is understood Humbinger made a statement resigning from the local union and informed me that I, Wifred C. Humbinger, am no longer connected with the Lawrence local of stage employees, because I was a member of the action of the local in the matter of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra. "Furthermore, I have not been involved in organization for the past three months."
Union Urges Concessions
Unless some working agreement is arriving for the Internationals, we will see that the UN organizations with union men can be shown on the Hill, according to information from union sources. It is not the local men who are dictating the ban-warfare; it is the order of the organization that enterprises through the country.
nowad, commenting on the situation, said, "We feel that the University is due some consideration as the University is now offering courses we are willing to go more than our share in helping the school, but we have our own resources and we are over. We have urged concessions from the International in the special case of the University. These were no longer available for our office, but were turned down by the University and more concessions proposed by the International and declined. That is the way the matter has stood for some time. The University should be more effectively aware of Wednesday's order."
