"GO TO WORKSHOPS," K. U. WOMEN ARE TOLD
Miss Lina Bresette, Secretary of the Kansas Industrial Commission, Speaks to Class
NUMBER 153.
Many Kansas Women Work
Packing House Work Woul Help K. U. Women, Social Worker Says
"Go to the packing houses and laundries for a week and see the kind of life working women lead," saidanna Bresette secretary of the Kansas Industrial Commission, to a class of women in Public Aspects of the household in the department of home economics at 11:30 today.
Loosening of social lines by University women to admit women industrial workers was strongly commanded by Miss Bresette, who said that if University women would spend a short period in the packing houses and laundries with the unskilled workers, good positions would be waiting for them on account of their experience.
BUCK WORK NETTED $3.00 PER DAY Miss Bresette also spoke of the work of the Industrial Commission, and of her work in investigating conditions of women workers of Kansas. She gave several typical cases encountered in recent investigations.
Some industries where women are found are in packing houses, laun dries, stories, garment factories railroad shops.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 19, 1920.
"More women are found in these industries than would be imagined," said Miss Bressette. "At one time during the war I was in the Argentine, Kaa, rail station, where I lived. 180 girls doing truck work. They were not supposed to seem to appeal to them greatly, because by working they could increase their standard of living. They were paid $3.00 per day.
"In Topoka the women in the railroad yards sort scrap iron. because they were forced to wear union suits in doing this work, and because the public scorned them for not wearing their uniforms," the work for any length of time.
WOMEN SORT SCRAP IRON
RESPONSIBILITY RESTS WITH WOMEN
“In Lawrence I went into a tent store and saw a young girl gifting glasses. She did not know how to break three glasses. I asked her if she had to pay for the glasses she broke, and she said she did not. Women should see that a lot of their reputation as efficient industrial workers depends upon themselves. But imm any cases, such as this one, are responsible for her own low salary.
"The public should be educated to accept these methods of dress as necessary for safety. Every twenty-three and one-half minutes of the day an industrial worker is killed, and every sixteen and many of the accidents being due to incorrect methods of dress."
But in many cases, such as this one efficiency, the fact remains that many girls and women, interested in the care of newborns are living on wretched salaries."

Faculty Men Recommend Y. M Conference Grounds as Summer Resort
Fred Leach will accompany the K. U, quartet and assist their program by giving readings and Chalk talks at their series of concerts on the way to Estes Park Conference of the Y. M. C. A. next month.
The quartet consists of Frank Baldwin, Phil Darby, Foster Myers, and Paul Stauffer with Dick Fox at the piano.
Besides giving concerts on the trip to Estes, the quintet will furnish special music at the conferences.
The purpose of the series of concerts is two-fold, to put "K. U. first" in as many towns as possible and to finance their trip to Estes Park. The dates are being arranged with the cooperation of the Rotary Clubs.
The Y. M. C. A. office has recently received a statement from Denver giving the cost of the trip from K. U. to Estes Park. The registration fee is $15, and room at the conference $15, and room at the conference, $5, a total of $610. Dr. W. L. Burick, who has a summer cottage in Estes Park said this morning, "the park is one of the spots in all of the United States."
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, also favors Estes Park as an ideal place for a vacation. He said, "For recreation, you should go to the flier place than the lofty peaks at Estes Park. The higher things are attained there. At present there is no place in the whole United States where you can see the Park and like content with nature."
Last year K. U, had a larger delegation than any other state university, and the goal set to keep up this record this year is 50 delegates.
"All registration fees and applications must be in the M. Y. C. A. office or handed to me by June 1." Erwin Stugard said this morning.

KANSAS-TIGER MEET WILL BE HARD FIGHT
Schlademan Men Will Contend Against Dope But Expect Victory
Jayhawk Squad in Shape
Coach Working With Relay Team; Weather May Slow Meet
When the Kansas track team goes to Missouri Saturday they will go fighting against the dope and with the intention of evening up the score
Since last Saturday the Jayhawk squad has been training for the Missouri meet, and if the sure point win will be one, then the Tigers will be given a hard battle.
Coach Karl Schlademann is centering his training on the relay team and expects his men to win over the fast Missouri quartet.
In the 100-yard dash and the 220 yard run Missouri is practically sure of firsts and seconds in both, as either Scholz, Williams, or Messenger of the Tiger team can show their heck to any of the Kansas sprinters. The 440-yard run is a toss-up between the two squads with Rodney having a chance to win and the Miller mile event is practically an even chance for both teams. The two-mile race will go to Masssey of Kansas and the mille will also go to Kansas if Masssey is going up to his usual form. Williams and Albus of Missouri both are going the high-hurdles in 16 1-5 seconds, while Gallagher of the high-hurdles in 16 1-5 seconds has last Saturday's low-hurdles. In the low hurdles Kansas has a chance for a second with Rodkey in the race. The pole-vault, high jump and broad jump will be evenly divided. To win the shot put the Kansas men will be forced beyond any length they have done this season. In the discus McClung of the Tigers will be forced by a dual deal with Grimson so Bradley Pringle will have trouble getting a first out of the event.
There are no injuries on the Kansas squad that will keep any of the men out of the meet. The weather while it will have as bad effect on one team as another is a factor to be reckoned with, and in the Aggie meet some of the events were necessitated by the cloudy day is hard on the distance men, and tends to make the whole listless
"We do like to put out any alibies either before or after a meet, so we will not make any broad statements, other than that the Tigers have to fight to win this meet." said Coach Schaitmann this morning.
Congress to Adjourn Sine Die on June 4?
Washington, May 19—June 4 has been decided on as the date of congressional recess or adjournment. It has not been definitely decided whether a sine die adjournment will be taken.
Tennis Tournament Off
There is some sentiment for a sine die adjournment, which would mend that congress would not come back until December.
Chicago, May 19—Striking "outlaw" switchmen served notice on the United States railroad labor board that demands for recognition and higher wages must be heard before it passes on demands of a strike. The Board declared an annual wage increase of $1,000,000. Declaring their number is a force to be reckoned with, John Grunau, president of the Chicago Yardman's Association, the original "outlaw" union, filed a petition asking the yardman be given a hearing. The union also requested road employees who have tired of waiting for action on increases.
The tennis tournament scheduled with Baker for today has been postponed on account of the death of Hubert Wesley. No arrangements have been completed by the athletic department for playing off the postponement.
The strikers were represented by a delegation at today's hearing, which considered demands of engineers for 'increased wages.'
June 4 is the Friday before the Republican national convention which meets in Chicago the following Tuesday.
Outlaw Switchmen Demand Large Wage Increase
Y. M. Has Last Luncheon For This Year Thursday
"Dutch" Wedell and M. H. McKean, state student secretary from Topela, will be the principal speakers. There will also be special music.
The last Y. M. C. A. luncheon of the year will be Thursday noon in Myers Hall. It will be somewhat in the form of a rally and it is reported that it will be an extraordinarily good luncheon.
Dean Templin would be glad to have the name of any student who would be interested in taking such a course next fall.
The tentative plan contemplates offering of Japanese short courses of probably three hours each semester, with the idea of giving elemental instruction in the language, both spoken and written. A year's study of the elements of Japanese gives an excellent foundation for a study of Chinese, as Mr. Golde at least 75 per cent of the Japanese language is based on Chinese roots, and the differences in pronunciation are not great.
MAY OFFER JAPANESE
Courses in the elements of the Japanese language will be offered at the University of Kansas if there is demand on the part of students for such instruction, according to Dean Templin. That the University should take more account of Oriental learning has long been the belief of Dean Templin, and when S. J. Goto, a student in th. School of Medicine approached him on the subject, the students agreed with him that the students, and follow the inquiry with a recommendation to the faculty.

Banks were reported calling in loans, forcing merchants who had borrowed money to purchase to unload in order to meet their notes.
The "tight" condition of the money market.
Congestion of freight shipments due to lack of cars, the "rump" railroad strike, and the prevention of proper distribution of merchandise.
The food market, according to today's reports had not been generally influenced by the general odwndar movement. However grocers predicted a slight reduction, due to general economic conditions. Thefreight¹³ condition is given the reason for food prices remaining up.
The price-cutting movement has hit the middle west, all cities except Kansas City, Cleveland, and Detroit reporting slashing reductions.

DEMOCRATS SELECTING LAST OF DELEGATIONS
Conventions in Three States Indicate Pre-Convention Political Upset
Politicians also are watching the convention in Indiana as they force symptoms of a definite drive against the candidacy of William G. McAdoo.
Virginia, believed to be a McAdoc state, is choosing forty-four delegates at a convention today.
New York, May 19—Democrats are holding three important state conventions today. The most interesting is in Michigan. Democrats of that state gave Herbert Hoover a primary in the primary last month. Today's expected to undo the work of the primary as far as Hoover is concerned. William G. McAdoo was second in the preferential vote, but the growing boom of Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio which has its home in an adjacent city probably have an important bearing in the action of the convention.
The only Republican activist is a state convention in Alabama where fourteen delegates are to be selected.
As a result of the Democratic primary, Pennsylvania's seventy-six delegates are expected to support at least 50 candidates. Pennsylvania's "favorite son,"
The situation in Pennsylvania, following yesterday's Republican primary, was as obscure as anticipated. It appealed to a real preelection vote made. It appeared that the second choice candidate would not be known positively until the balloting started in Chicago, Gov. William Milley chose the choice of the seventy-six delegates.
General Wood apparently won the Vermont primary yesterday with ease, adding eight delegates to his list.

Out of the number of subjects judged at Kansas, as if fewer as five as second class, and the remaining eight qualified.
"Of these last eight, four were readations from last year and four were new," said Dean Kelly. "This is a good record and shows that a good quality of books are being used."
State Wants Teachers Graduates Have Positions
According to a report in the Columbus Daily Advocate, approximately seventy-five more applications for teachers than the number of positions to be filled have been approved by the Galena board of education.
"This report does not indicate the true state of acairs," said Prof. W. H. Johnson, Chairman of the Bureau of School Service.
"Every school board has a large number of applicants that they can use, but the material is not what they want. This is due to the fact that so many and so varied combinations are required of applicants for positions."
Professor Johnson said that nearly all of this year's graduates have been able to innurable calls from all over the state for instructors in every line.
Chancellor Strong went to Lindsburg Wednesday to give the high school commencement address.
Dean Blackmar of the Graduate School, will go to White Cloud to give the commencement address Friday.

ACCIDENT TAKES LIFE OF WESLEY
Varsity Right-Fielder, While Fielding Foul Fly, Runs Into 16-Pound Shot, Hurled By Charles Heizer
Lived But Fifteen Minutes
Two Pulmotors Were Employed But Failed to Save 21 Year Old Sophomore
Wesley, a member of the Varsity squad, was playing right field and running at top speed in an attempt to field a high foul, went directly into the path of a 16-pound shot which was being put by Charles Heizer, a member of the track squad. The shot knocked him unconscious. Heizer saw Wesley just after he threw the shot and called to him but before Wesley could check himself the shot continued its deadly path.
In one of the most tragic accidents in the history of the University of Kansas, Hubert R. Wesley, c22, was fatally injured Tuesday afternoon while practicing with the Varsity baseball squad on McCook Field.
LIVED BUT 15 MINUTES
Wasley lived only fifteen minutes after being hit, never regaining consciousness. The blow probably caused either a rupture of the heart walls or of the large artery leading from it.
Two pulmotors were used in a vain attempt to save Wesley, but authorities state that he was beyond the aid of the pulmotor by the time they arrived.
The accident took place at 3:45 Tuesday afternoon. Wesley was taken to the University hospital but the emergency team was reached as he died at 4 o'clock.
MANY WITNESS THE ACCIDENT
The entire baseball and track squads and not a few sport fans witnessed the accident, as it happened when practice was on, and everyone stated that Heisen was in no way to blame for the shot from the regulation shot ring while his located in the extreme southwest corner of the field, across the track and entirely removed from the crowd. As grief-trikened over the occurrences.
Wesley was a member of the freshman basketball and baseball squads in his first year and has played in the University band since he entered school. He was a member of the university school affairs and very popular among the students. He was 21 years old and lived at Bancroft.
FUNERAL HELD AT TWO O'CLOCK
Parents and relatives of Wesley arrived late last night and arrangements for the funeral were completed. A short service was held at the Pi Upson house following which death was taken to Bancorf for burial.
The flag on Fraser Hall was at half-mast today in respect to Wesley and the University paused between the 10:30 and 11:30 classes to do homage to his memory. Attention two matted twouffed blasts of the whistle.
