SPEAKER HERE FROM K, C
Wireless Messages and An Elec trical Display Were Features of the Day
Wireless messages were received by several of the guests at the Electrical Engineer's Banquet held Thursday evening in the Parish House of the Congregational Church. The banquet was the last event of the annual meeting and was cancelled Thursday by the department of electrical engineering.
The meetings yesterday consisted of a number of talks by engineers brought here for the occasion. The morning session of the day was held at 10:30 o'clock in Marvin Hall, and the afternoon meeting was conducted in the same room at 2:30 o'clock. The banquet Thursday evening was attended by about 160 people, including members of the department and their guests.
The banquet room was decorated with a novel lighting system, and the tables were furnished with individual lights and fancy shades. The diners were entertained with piano and violin music during the banquet.
After the dinner, L. J. P. Perkins acted as tastmaster, and the following toasts were given: Dean P. F. Walker; "Illumination"; E. W. Phloeo; Intrinsic Brilliant Painting; A. G. O'Connell; Absorbent Dismounting; H. W. Belzak; "Absorption Co-efficient"; and Mr. H. C. Blackwell "Source of Power"
Mr. Blackwell, who is vice president and general manager for the Kansas City Light and Power Company, described the new Northeast power station in Kansas City, Mo., and showed a number of linten slides which pictured the construction of the first of the intest design and equipped with the most modern machinery.
After the toasts Prof. Geo C. Shaad, head of the department of electrical engineering, was asked by the toastmaster to explain his new device for lighting which was pictured on the menu and on blueprint sheets, and besides the menu and the toasts, they contained a pictorial representation of Professor Shaud's new lighting system. It seemed that a small dog furnished the power for the system, and Professor Shaud was asked for details. Accordingly he made it extremely novel explanation of the invention.
The members of the department pro-
duce the day a decided success, and
in speaking of the banquet one
engineering student declared that it was
the "most excellent feed" that the de-
partment had ever had.
The banqueters then repaired to an upstairs room where they were entertained by a high frequency demonstration. A wireless receiving apparatus had been installed in the room, and had been fitted with amplifiers so that the audience could hear the messages as they came in from the other radio station. Arrangements had been made here in Lawrence, and several guests in the audience received messages.

GREAT BRITAIN USES AIR TRANSPORTATION
TRIPLE ALLIANCE MEETING
To Decide on Time and Method of a General
Strike
London, April 8—An industrial revolution in Great Britain appearent certain today when executives of the "tribale alliance" called for a joint meeting at a clock to indicate on the date to support the coal miners.
The triple alliance meeting was called after the miners refused to reopen negotiation with owners under an agreement that the first question settled would prevent the flooding of some mines.
The organization included the miners, railway men, and transport workers. By shutting down fuel supplies in an institution they can paralize all industry.
It was believed a strike will be called for Sunday.

the mine owners committee which accepted the government proposal for approval submitted in
Peace and war plans meantwhile went forward together. Lloyd George prepared to have government representatives to sit with the negotiators if they agreed to meet. At the same time there was no slackening in the separation to have the nation ready to establish a prolonged industrial parlysis.
The governments great forces were to be turned over to food controllers to protect them. They came from country and from the continent. Air crafts of all kinds were called.
This delivery system will be supplemented by motor lorries and by what rains can run.
London, April 8—A general strike of the "triple alliance" throughout Great Britain, throwing the country into industrial chaos, will start at midnight Tuesday unless negotiations for the settlement of the coal strike are re-opened, it was announced by union leaders today.
This announcement was made following the meeting of the heads of the "triple alliance" to discuss methods of carrying out the strike. The strike if it starts as scheduled, will tie up the nation's railroads and all other means of transportation in addition to the coal mines.
Announcement of the labor leaders' decision was a virtual ultimatum to resume the coal strike before midnight Tuesday, came almost simultaneously with the proclamation of King George calling up the reserves for the strike duty and authorizing increased recruiting in the regular army.
Under the emergency act now in effect all the military forces can be used in guarding the production of food and in keeping peace. The general strike will call out four million workers.
"For the first time in the history of the nation," Lloyd George declared "it is confronted by an attempt to destroy it by destruction of its resources."
The king's message was read in the Commons by Premier Lloyd George. It states the existence of a police force to protect residents and reserve calls for volunteers.
Lloyd George urged that volunteers offer their services to unapplied railway stalkers in the effective servant support the police forces in their work.
The premier stated that the enrollment of volunteers will begin tomorrow. Territorial forces will not be included in the reserve, he said. Numbers of ex-service men have been urged to enlist.

PROMINENT SENIORS OPPOSE FINAL QUIZ
Upperclassmen Believe that Examinations for A or B Students Gain Little
A well defined opinion exists in the Senior class as to whether A and B students should be exempt from final quizzes, it was discovered today through interviews with several prominent members of Qoer Senior
MOORE HELPS IN U. S. SURVEY
"To a man who has made A's and B's in his class work all through the year, a quiz is of minor importance," said Arnold Bell, president of the School of Engineering. "A senior has an over-supply of other matters to concern himself with, and certainly deserves exemption from the time that would be necessarily taken up in reviewing for quizzes."
"I can't speak from experience," said Frank "Mandy" Mandeville, "but I don't imagine that quizzes are of much importance to a man who can make A's and B's. It seems to me that it is the lack of the year without burdening him with quizzes. A and B students should be exempted.
Another view of the question is expressed by John B. mn, president of the senior class. "A and B students have little preparation to make
" quizzes," said Benn, and get him to do the amount of work that they must do as compared to the amount that must be done by students that have dropped behind. If quizzes are given at the same year, every person should take them."
Contrary to what might have been expected, most of the girls seem to be in favor of exception. Heilen Olson, president of W. G. A. Classical organization, both expressed themselves as being strong for exemption, giving as their reasons the fact that seniors are too busy with other matters at the close of the year to be asked to take the time necessary for preparation for quizzes, when they would probably show them there would be no doubt as to their ability to successfully finish the course.
Geologists Investigate Oil Bear ing Rocks in Texas
Prof. R, C. Moore was asked by the director of the Geological Survey, Dr. David White, to assist the U. S. Survey in determining the age of some of the oil bearing rocks which extend from Texas into Oklahoma, and are present in Eastern and Central Kansas.

Clemens Maintains Kansas Industrial Court is a Necessary Organization
In speaking of the growth of the industrial unions he said, "In the early seventies the employer hired whom he pleased, and fired his employees at will. This condition was still in effect when that company established its own stores. Although they charged more for goods at these stores than was charged elsewhere the employees were compelled to buy there. It was at this time that labor saw something must be done and so the workers 1900 practically everything was organized, and contracts were made between the employer and the employees. The labor organizations had grown in strength until they could force the employee to do what they wanted. This terminology in 1900 when the refused a return to work at the government's remort
NEED ALLEN'S COURT SAYS COAL OPERATOR
Ire Clemens, president of the Southwest Interstate Coal Operators Association at Pittsburg, Kansas, spoke Thursday afternoon in Room 202 West Administration Building at 3:30 o'clock. He spoke on the need in Kansas of the Industrial Court, from the standpoint of the operator, and also gave a short history of the industrial unions.
In speaking of the Industrial Court he said, "It is in reality only an investigating committee and has no power to enforce its rulings. It aims to provide steady work for the worker and a fair return to the employee." Mr. Clemens maintained that the Industrial Court gave to the worker a square deal and was of importance in stable conditions in the coal fields.
In speaking of the amount of coal that the United States owns, Mr. Clemens said, "There are three trillion tons that are still unmined. We have thirty-four states which have coal deposits of economic importance, and of these twenty-four are now producing. The field at Pittsburgh has an estimated amount of sequestration gas." At the present rate of production it will take six thousand years to mine the existing coal."
He contended that the laborers had a chance to earn a great deal more than they do, but the number that they surpasses the number of surplus of money. on hand now is 26 per cent. "The labor leaders are afraid of the Industrial Court because it will necessitate leadership like it must to stop," concluded Mr. Clemens.
