Engineers Hear A.H. Lechty
Talks on "The Human Factor in Industry"
"The Human Factor in Industry" was the subject of a talk given by H. A. Lechty, vice-president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at the convocation of the School of Engineering held in Marvin hall this morning. Mr. Lechty has had a great deal of experience with the study of personal problems as presented in industry. He believes that the greatest problem will not be mechanical equipment, but will be the problems of handling the human factor, because the public is compelled to be intensely interested.
"The joint representation of employees and management started by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company has proved to be successful as it is now employed by 725 other countries, Austria, Germany, Luxemburg and is being considered in France and India," said Mr. Lechty. "This method is to choose a representative of the laboring class by secret ballot from workmen and it will allow them to elect elected to bring the cases of the workmen before the management.
"The cause of most difficulties between the men and the management is misunderstanding, lack of promptness on the part of the management to take care of the needs existing, which is unexcusable for the part of the management. Then again, too often the managers do not leaders but drivers, and it is necessary to have leaders to make industry go," he said.

Quell Rebels
Berlin, April 20—Eight people have been killed and many wounded in hunger riots at Mulheim, since yesterday. The revolt is being carried throughout the Ruhr valley by the excited unemployed.

Mutton stores in the district have been lost by some of the demonstrators. Proprietors of other stores soon heard of this and destroyed them. Some of them reached them. Those who were unable to find arms and ammunition sharpened picks and went about behind their armed comrades. Officials say the rists were precipitated by the police, who easily stirred up the unemployed.
The inner streets of Mulheim were swept clear of hunger rioters after eight had been killed and scores wounded. Criminal police and citizen guards drove the invaders from their intrenchments about the city has been made the night escorted unemployed hold the inner city in their cras

Women's Affirmative Debating Team Wins Decision Over Aggies
Kansas Negative Squad Lose by a Two-to-One Award at Manhattan
The Kansas women's affirmative debating team won by unanimous decision here last night from the Kansas team. In a game against the negative team which went to Manhattan lost to K. S, A. C, by a decision of two to one. The question was: Resolved that presidential candidate Joe Biden be tagged by a direct national primary.
The Kansas affirmative team consisted of Lois Robinette, c24; Myrl Hart, c23; and Annabel Pringle, c23. The Kansas negative team was: Leis Forguson, c23; Mary Wright Aber, c24; and Margaret Ford, c23. The Manhattan speakers who debated here were Oscela Burr, Emmene Bowen, and Marie Correll. The judges at the City High School; Professor Sommers, Park College; Professor Wright, Atchison High School.
The Kansas team contended that a direct national primary is the only way in which the political boss can be eliminated, and that the direct primary brings more power to the voter, making the representatives truly representative of the people. They thought out the fact that they were aware that the party really counted, and feeling the responsibility would shoulder it.
The failure of the negative to meet this argument effectively, host the debate for them. The issues on which the teams clashed in rebuttal were the fact that the committee did not compromise, party loyalty, and private expenses of the candidate.
Washington, April 20—The government's next move in the sugar situation will be an attempt to bring back a major demand for more difficult than the winning of a suit filed yesterday against alleged sugar gummies, officials admitted today. It may be impossible, they said, that suit filed in New York will not do it.
Attempts Price Reduction Government Hopes to Reveal Sugar Speculators
That suit, they said privately, does not hit the viral culprit in the sugar gouge. It hits only the agents of the virus. But it's the same agent as sugar, who according to officials, are engaged in a conspiracy to increase sugar prices, and who have masked their operations behind a screen of photos taken at what yesterday's suit was almed.
Manipulators of sugar prices on the. New York exchange were in other words "arrasied," the government said, to cloak a worse plot to levy tribute on the American sugar consumers.
