“BRITAINS NEED JOBS"
--WHITING WILLIAMS
Believes Scarcity of Work Prime Cause of Miners' Unrest
GLASCO BECOMES RADICAL
Bad Living Conditions and Bad Memories Aggravate Economic Problem
That the scarcity of jobs in Great Britain is the source of the miner's difficulties, rather than his desire for higher wages was expressed by Whittingill Williams, labor investigator, in Fraser Chapel in Fraser Chapel, Friday afternoon.
Whiting Williams, author of "What is on the worker's Mind," surveyed the labor situation last summer worker training programs; steel plants, foundries and shops.
"My investigation revealed more Bolshiev in Great Britain in seven days than I could find in the U. S. in seven months," he said.
"Glacier is the most radical section of the country. There are 25,000 to 30,000 miners in Scotland living in one and two room houses. Such living conditions as these—bad food, bad ventilation and bad beds—make the mood of the Britishers bad and dane-ous."
The factors of a steadily dependable job, Mr. Williams said, could scarely be over emphasized. The physiological factor and the mental factor are both important in giving Americans insight into the British coal strike.
"I ignorance is a wall between employer and employee." he stated. "The laborer is demanding reasonable self-respect, and when he loses it entirely he his lives in despair, just as 10,000 in the U. S. do each year."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY A, APRIL 25, 1921.
General ignorance he characterized as TNT of the mind. The strike, he said, is being undertaken to teach us a lesson.
Mr. Williams spoke of the British public sentiment toward the nationalization of the mines. If the miner is not considered, this sentiment is not health man in Britain happens to be a man he explained significantly.
He repeatedly stressed the idea that the fewness of jobs in Great Britain has caused the labour to cease gambling on himself and to turn his attention to gambling in other countries. Williams, Americans are living in the land of the abundant job and of the natural resource, and they cannot think as the jobless Britsher thinks. "Natural resources," he remarked, "may likely be the basis of our spiritual resources, and we must be more humble here in America."
The intemperance of the British laborer is an effort to maintain self-respect. Drunkenness deerves him into believing he has a steady job and the respect of his fellow men. Mr. Voltaire will not be enforced until we recognize this economic cause for lionor.
"The tragedy of the war is that we didn't sustain the spirit that drew us together," said Mr. Williams in concluding his address. "Broadly, we must get out of our problem anyway but to fight it out. We have the resources of our heads, our hearts and our hands to save us all. And hand in hand we are going. Hand in hand we are got to the protection of the human race."

TO TRY NEW VENTURE IN Y. W. C. A. SERVICE
College Women Will Work in Factories to Learn Conditions
A new venture in student W. Y. C. A. work is the "College Industrial Experiment," which will be carried on at Denna College and will bring six girls from several colleges and universities of Kansas and Colorado. These workers are to work in various locations throughout the state, find them living quarters, some will find their own jobs, and others who are not financially able to supe-
jobs will be helped in securing work. "These girls, we hope," said Miss Inksee, Y, W, C, A. C. field secretary, "are not to be known as college girls by either employer or employees. They are teachers of special industry but we hope at the end of six weeks and after meeting for discussion at least twice a week, that they will gain a more sympathetic understanding of the women
Some will be placed in factories where conditions are good, others in some of the worst places, some in closed shops and others in non-union shops, so that they will be able to study organized and unorganized labor. Candy and biscuit factories, garment factory and textile factories, other factories, and one or two domestic places are some of the places in which they will work.
"We hope to find girls who have a background of economics and sociology," continued Miss Inseek, "who have splendid health, because the girls in our town are Christian viewpoint and who above all possess a sense of humor."
ALUMNI OFFICE IN CAMPAIGN
The University of Kansas, if it desires, can have two girls in this experiment. They will be chosen from the departments of economics and sociology, and by a committee of the Dean of Women, a member of the Y. W. C. A. advisory board or the secretary and two cabinet members.
It is asked that those interested in such work see Miss Gunn, W. Y. C. A. secretary, or the heads of the departments of economics or sociology as soon as possible the girls are to be chosen this week.
Graduate Organization Uses Card Index for Members
As a means of locating a greater number of former students in the interests of the K. U., Memorial Campaign, the Alumni Office today started work on an extensive card index of K. U. fraternity and security members.
"The names after being listed on individual cards, will be separated according to localities." Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary said. "In this manifold of the number of K. U. people in different places will be largely increased."
"We want to use the use of all organization lists of former students, including social and professional fractions, as well as other kind of organization." Hill said.
Any organizations having present addresses of former students, is requested to lend its list to the Alumni office immediately. The fraternities and sororities which supplied lists last November, are requested to have representatives call for them and make corrections.
"The total number of K. U. graduates is something more than 7,000. For every graduate, there are more students and not graduate. The loyalty of former students not graduating has been proved to rival that of the graduates. At present, no other institution addresses kept at the University, and this is necessarily a handicap
as the campaign for Memorial subscriptions is carried through the state and over the country."
"Willing co-operation in preparation of this list will have an important bearing upon the successful complete Million Dollar Memorial" Hill said.

Little Theatre Packed for "La Grammaire" and "Le Malade Imaginaire"
FRENCH PLAYS GIVEN BEFORE LARGE CROWD
CAST SHOWS REAL ABILITY
Difficult Traits and Mannerisms Well Portrayed by Amateur
With the Little Theater of Green Hall packed to the window sills Saturday evening, the amateur French actors fully measured up to the adoration of their own characters of the two comedies, "La Grammare" and "Le Mala Imaginaire."
Actors
The result of concisentious work was evident in the complete mastery of the lines, and in each actor's intelligent interpretation of his résumé. The difference is that he was difficult in a foreign language play, was unusually good, especially in the second play, and would have beer pleasing and intelligible to a native Frenchman. Only occasionally was the difficult French "u" "miroprégnède."
In "La Grammaire," Donald Blair playing the part of Cabassat, produced with telling effect the ambitions but ignorant retired merchant He was able supported by the intrepid Donarian Stetter, Herbert Shuey was a creditable veterinarian and politician. Leslie Baild as the servant Jean, provoked considerable mirth, but did not realize all the sit-up he made. Et Twomey as Cabassat's daughter was oxyilomatic and charming.
In "Le Malade Imaginaire", the two outstanding actors were J. Neal Carman and Marjorie Ishmael. The former conceived the part of Argarty the imaginary invail, in the very spirit of Moliere. In that play, the characters of Ishmael, who played opite him as the spiritual resourceful maiden, Joinette, that the whole east seemed imbued with the spirit of the Comédie-Prancaisse.
A real dramatic fund was, Harrif McKibbin, in the role of the woodier young Dr. Thomas Wheatley, treating his stiffened compliments and his "noncompanions' aplause. Velmia E. Mathews, representing the insincere second wife, had an insimulating manner, and her tears and smiles were under perfect control. The paragon of Diofite was credibly taken by Harold Dietrich, and the functions of a notary were performed with dignity by John Miller. Goli Coffelt and Marcella Chalkley, as Cleante and Angelique, were interested young lovers, whose expression in song of their undying devotion was an assistant conclusion to the performance.
While all the members of the French teaching staff contributed to the success of the plays, especially credit is due Prof. Annie Station (French), who taught the stage schwander, who provided the stag properties and costumes.
TO GIVE CONCERT THURSDAY
This is the first year that the University Orchestra has had sufficient funds to guarantee the fees of assisting artists of distinction, and as both Mrs. Carolyn and Mr. James of recognized merit, it is hoped that the stamina support of the student body will be given.

Ernest Colvin of the St. Louis Star, says: "Mrs. Coviden has one of the best voice performances in the concert stage this season. It is semi-framed n quality, and with a richness and sweetness that makes an instant appeal."

HARVEST WAGES TO BE SET
Farmers to Determine Limits in State Meetings
Conferences will be held in four sections of the state. The first will be held at Wichita May 27, the next at Kinsey May 28, the third at Hays on May 31, and the last at Salina, June 1. The meeting at Salina will also serve as the annual meeting of the Kansas Harvest Labor Association.
Mahattant, Kans., April 25—Kansas farmers have determined to set their own harvest wage and arrangements and for dates to meetings to consider this were made recently when the directors of the Kansas Harvest Labor association met to make plans for the coming harvest.
The purpose of each meeting will be to establish a definite harvest wage scale for farmers in the district. No one but bona fide farmers will have a voice at the meeting. Each county has a representative who larger an additional vote for each 50,000 acres of wheat to be harvested within its boundaries.
The harvest labor board in Kansas consists of two farmers elected from each congressional district. A. H. Lunfer of Larned is president of the board, and J. E. Hardesty, of Pratt, the secretary.
The differences in wages paid in the past in the sections of the wheat belt has been due largely to differences of the railroad fare. Salina and Wichita be nearer the labor supply have higher wage rates than farmers in the districts farther west. Last year, however, the system of planning and sticking to a set wage was successfully carried out, and although 30 counties attended the conference state, 38 counties lived up to the standard wage set by the conferences.
Major Zinovi Peekoff, who has been sent out by the French Foreign Office as special representative of the American Committee for Devastated France, will speak in Fraser Chapel on Monday at 4:00 o'clock on "Lest We Forget."
Major Peckoff fought with the French Foreign Legion. He is being sent through the United States by the American Committee to keep alive the French-American feeling. He will tell of social and economic conditions in France, Russia and Italy today.
Docia Rose, cabinet chairman of the conference committee, is in charge of the plans and is working hard to make it a success. Shea Rippard will lead the meeting tomorrow afternoon. Several girls who attend the conference last summer will bring reports of the conference.
