Most of the men who have volu teered so far have been ex-service men.

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED IN PITTSBURG DISTRICT
No Actual Coal Shortage There But Serious Lull in Business Activity
A large number of the miners in the Pittsburgh district are being compelled to resort to the most rigid laws, and to take today from Thanksgiving vacation in the Pittsburgh district. Many miners are pessimistic, the students say, when questioned as to the possibility of an early settlement of the strike.
"There is no actual shortage of coal in most parts of the Pittsburgh district, but there is a very serious hull in business activities," said one student. "In communities inhibited for the most part by miners, business is reported to have decreased 50 per cent. Many of the miners are work-aholics jobs, but there is not an excellent employment for all the strikers."
Those who have returned from the coal fields recently report that many American born miners, while opposed to the government's policies in handling the strike situation, are not in agreement with the government's owers. They all have sympathy for the people who must suffer on account of their idleness, but are included to stand behind their union officials in the struggle. Nearly 40 percent of miners in the troops and volunteer miners will cause more or less trouble.
WOMAN WAR WORKER TO TALK IN FRAASEI
Miss Nell M. Reeder Will Ad address Convocation Wednesday
Miss Nell M. Reeder, efficiency expert, is to lecture Wednesday after noon, at 4:30 o'clock in Fraser Chan elon, on "Women in Industry."
Miss Reeder was formerly chief of production of munitions in the New York district. She was first a munition worker, filling shells, and the ability she showed in organizing and administration in this capacity, secured for her the position of chief of production. Although her lecture is especially for the women, it will not be missed by many in many suggestions as to occupations and training which would not occur to anyone without her experience.
Mr. Reeder has made an efficiency survey of the American Tin Can Company, the Cheney Silk Works, and the Cichle Company.

Business Prevents Executive's Addressing Law Makers In Person
WILSON'S MESSAGE
READ TO CONGRESS
Will Discuss Treaty Later
Cost of Living, "Reds" and Other Topics are Considered
Washington, Dec. 2—President Wilson departed from his custom of coming before Congress with his message on account of his illness and it was read today, at the opening of the regular session. In his message, he re-
Simplifying of income and excess profits taxes.
Establishment of a national budget system.

Protection for America's new chemical and dye stuff industry.
Federal aid in the building of good roads.
Legislation to reduce the cost of living and expansion of the Lever Act.
Development of forest reserves.
Enactment of Attorney General Palmer's legislation for dealing with the "Reds."
LABOR QUESTION EMPHASIZED Though the president several times referred to the peace treaty and the League of Nations, he did not discuss the treaty situation. He also said he would be willing to reliable information today. He also will deal later with the railroad question, he informed the legislators.
Much of the message was devoted to discussion of the labor problem. To solve it, the president said Congress "must now help in the difficult task of finding a method that will bring about a genuine democratization of industry based upon the full recognition of workers' rights in whatever rank, to participate in some organic way in every decision which directly affects their welfare."
But he added that the government has the pre-eminent right to protect all the people against the challenging aggression of any single class.
Analysis of labor's complaint the President told congress shows it is based upon justice. Capital, too, he declared, has a right to an adequate pay. He said that theeward must never "play" capital and Injor against each other.

Pittsburgh, Kna, Dec. 2, "The Wilson mine, three miles from here, today yielded the first coal under picks of Governor Allen's funky volunteers. O'Keefe, American Legion members from Wichita dropped the first pick.
Pittsburgh, Kan., Dec. 2. - In weather that would have closed the pile under ordinary circumstances, volunteer Kansas miners entered the strip mines today. A snow storm reached here early today adding a decided chill to the weather, already below freezing.
With the slogan "Let's Go," the volunteers showed no discouragement even after their first night of sleep. They waited until winter to ice-cold water this morning.
ALLEN ARRIVES ON SCREEN
Concern for the men brought Governor Allen to the scene. He was to confer with the state governor and military leaders in charge. Six hundred men detrained here this morning every one of whom will have been assigned a place in the mines by tomorrow, according to O. S. Hubert, in charge of mine operation.
First coal taken from the strip mines by volunteer coal diggers is sent to the mine and body. Whether the coal will react to the displaced populace of the state resumed to be seen.
EXPECT FAILURE TROUBLE
Out-cratching of opposition to the state's operation of the strip mines last night culminated in a report that Mr. O'Connor was forced to move brotherhood members to refuse the coal cars. It was understood that local trainenet had wired their brotherhood chiefs for instruction, received a local stube of railroad tunnel was considered a possibility.

MAY GUARD MINERS
Men to Enlist in National Guards If War Department Grants Permission
At the same time, Colonel Burdick telegraphed Adjuntant General Martin of Kansas asking whether, if the R. O. T. C. unit enrols in the National Guard to serve in the emergency, the men will be discharged when the emergency is past and allowed to return to the R. O. T. C. at K. U. B. The Army enlisted in emergency company discharged immediately emergency "nast."
Col. H. D. Burdick yesterday telegraphed the Adjutant General of the Army asking permission to send the K. U. R. O. T. C. unit as guards to the coal fields or to be used in any way the Governor sees fit. This permission is necessary because the commander has a state unit without the consent of the War Department. A reply to this telegram has not yet been received.
Colonel Burdick interprets this to mean that the adjutant general considers the R. O. T. C. men as ex-service men, and is now waiting for a message from the War Department before taking any action.
DEBATING TRY-OUTS SET FOR WEDNESDAY
Restriction of Immigration Will Be Subject For Argument
"Resolved that immigration is so detrimental to the economic interests of the American people that its prac- tices are difficult for it, and years is desirable." This is the question on which a picked team of debaters from the University of Kansas will meet the best debaters Missouri has on a K.-U. will prove the negative side.
"We have the best material in the University for a debating team that we have had for several years," said Prof. Henry Shinn of the Public Speaking Department, "and with the right kind of backing we should have taught him how to debate and have lost to Missouri in football. Let's not do the same thing in debate."
The squads will be chosen at the try out Wednesday afternoon at 3:30, Room 6, Green Hall. Although the debate will not take place until March, the teams will be chosen before the first of the year.

COAL PILE VANISHES IN STUDENT HOUSES
Mary Houses Have Only Enough Coal to Last a Few Days Or None at All
Few Have Large Supply
Wood and Oil and Gas Stoves Are Being Used For Immediate Relief
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor
On the suggestion of Mayor Kreeck I request that University students assent in conserving the city's coal supply by reducing the amount of electric lights they use at their rooming houses and by turning the lights off as early an hour as possible.
While the coal supply of the University may last a week or more the bottom of the coal bin has been reached in many boarding houses and frat houses and shivering students are coming in larger numbers to the libraries to study. Unheated or poorly heated rooms and houses are driving them to Spooner and other study halls.
Westminster Hall reported that its coal supply was exhausted while Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Phi Kappa, Gamma Pi Beta and Mu Phi have only enough coal to last until tonight or Wednesday morning. Sigma Phi Beta will twist itself and freezing. A whole flock of fraternity houses and boarding clubs, led by the conicent University Club, are in the class that has only about a week's coal supply. In this bunch with only a week's warmth in sight around the home health are the Gamma Pi Kappa, the erudite Alpha Pi Omegas, the sage Pi Kappa Alphas and the judicial Pi Alpha Deits.
PHI PSIS ARE FREEZING
To a specific question as to how much coal they had on hand the debnair Phi Piis replied with sweet frigidity, "We're freeing to death," but gave nothing definite as to how much coal they had on hand. Aethch replied with scientific precision, saying, "We had a ton last Saturday."
In the class having enough to last "two or three weeks" are the Phi Delta and Phi Beta P.
Three sororities qualified for the virgin wires' coterie, when it came to buying coal when coal was buyable. They are the Thetas, Alpha XI Delta and Alpha Osmokran F<sub>1</sub>, who report that coal from the Thetas coal to lests during winter periphery.
The Sig Alphas also loaded up on coal and in addition to keeping the home fires burning have opened the home fires burning have several tons of downtown folks have several tons of Sigma Chis, Sigma Nus, Betas and the Woman's Co-op House point to full bison as proof of their firewhee. They foresee a warm winter, whatever the weather. The Kappa Sigs are playing so by facing out with wood and gas.
SIG ALPHS WARM HEARTED
Kanzara reports a supply for a month or longer. Acacia says its coal supply is not of sufficient dignity to just keep heating, but they aren't depending on coal, but are burning wood and have about a week's supply. Delta Tans expects to go a week on the present supply of coal at least once in a quarter and estimated half ton at noon today.
USING OIL AND GAS
"We're limping along with gas stoves," said one man from a boarding house. "Gas stoves without fines." "We've got plenty of oil," said a man
"We've got plenty of coal," said a woman.
"Entirely out," chorused three students from as many boarding houses, while another chorted because his landlord had a full brim.
The boarding houses and clubs with out sufficient supply of fuel apparently outnumber the well supplied houses. Wood, gas and oil are being used in the boarding houses, or to take or to take the place of no supply. Phi Beta Kappa, the profound, reported that it had no coal because the association among Phi Beta Kappa is in the spirit and not in a social or material sense. Phi Beta Kappa never got together except when the natural environment became unearthly crashes.
