The first touchdown was made following a thirty-thair pass, Wood to Laslett, which put the ball on the four-yard line. A succession of bucks by Wood and Simon took the ball down, followed a through-tackle run by Mandeville for twenty yards, and line bucks by Simon, Simon was given the ball and took it over for the second touchdown, Lonberg licking goal. The quarter was made after Mandeville caught a punt out of Pittsburgh's dangerous territory, and run through a broken field 34 yards to the six yard line, where Simon took the ball out, and the quarter ended.

"Phog" Allen announced that he woulk be back in the game next week.
McCarty sent in almost the entire second string in the third quarter, and the Pittsburgh eleven kept the K. U. team on another touchdown.

OPEN LABOR MEETING TO DISCUSS SITUATION
Wilson Believes Security of Nation Depends Much On Outcome
Railroad Men Will Join
High Cost of Living, Strikes And Industry Are Big Problems
(United Press)
Washington, Oct. 6—The four railroad brotherhoods have decided to accent representation at the industrial conference which opens this afternoon at the call of President William J. Roberts, the chairman of Roberts of the American Federation of Labor. Roberts said the brotherhood delegates would be President W. G. Lee of the Trainmen, President Timothy Sheen of the Firemen, President Roberts, and Hermann Wills, legislative agent of the locomotive engineers.
Fourteen railroad unions considered withdrawing from the conference because no efforts were made to meet their proposals that the conference include one representative from each national or international union.
A share in the management and profits of all industry for labor will be one of the first proposals to be placed before the conference.
A new step in the conference at 2:30 p.m. will mark a new opening in the effort to bring permanent industrial peace. Fifty-
men and women, all noted for activity in the industrial and financial world have been invited to sit in the conference as representatives of organized labor, capital, bankers, farmers and
WILL DEBATE STRIKES
In many sections of the country strikes and walkouts have been postponed at the instigation of government officials to await action by the conference.
The president is know to believe that on the outcome of the conference today depends in a great measure the security and happiness of the United States both internally and internationally.
TO TRY TO LOWER H..C. L.
First, what the conference does will have an effect on the high cost of living. If capital and labor can reach a basis of harmonious action, the president has made plain, production will increase and this will bring down the prices of all products it will be ready to undertake new enterprises both at home and abroad.
Second, what decisions the conference reaches will have a determining effect on whether there is to be a concurring agreement to one another once the signing of the armistice. Unless they do well, well informed officials here believe this country is facing an easy win; they will shake every nation on the globe.
Mis Veronica Harkins, c'33, returned to Lawrence last evening after spending Saturday and Sunday at her home in Paola.
TO DEMOCRATIZE INDUSTRY
Third, out of the conference, the president hopes, will come the beginning. He emphasizes the identification of industry, a thing which the president has declared must come. He has never explained the phrase in detail but briefly it is taken that he believes the workers must have a larger share than those employed. Some of the specific questions which will be before the delegates are the strike of steel workers, the postponed strike **5** railroad shopmen, the scores of smaller strikes that are in progress among railroad operators, the problems of railroads—all problems which enter into the present critical industrial situation.
"Have you any blond hair nets?" asked a young boy, leaning anxiously toward the girl behind the counter but turning away again with discouraged eyes at the clerk's negative answer.
Needful Nets Needed More Than Eve
American men may be annoyed by the shortage of sugar, the faculty of the University of Kansas may be impatient at the apparent shortage of school books, but the women of America may still squirrel over the shortage of hair nets.
The reason for the scarcity seems to lie in China, where the nets are manufactured. They are hand-tied by Chinese peasant women, who re-use them, however, work on the nets only in the winter, as in the summer they are needed in the fields. Last winter a severe scalp disease spread through China and the United States, all of which all hair goods from that country, thereby putting a stop to the importation of hair nets. This summer the women have been in the fields and as yet they have not begun on the winery, which leaves the United States with only the stock of nets of two years ago.
A few nets were received in Lawence Saturday but not enough to ieet the demand; however, a manger of a local department store said londay that by January the supply could be ample.
Big Slaughter Framed By Arkansas Negroes

A number of guns and ammunition had been accumulated by the negroes in preparation for the general slaughter
Lynch Two in Georgia
Washington, Ga., Oct. 6--Jack Gordon and William Brown, negroes were taken from the county jail at Lincolnbury by a mob and lynched, according to a telephone report received here today. Following the lynching, the bodies of both negroes were burned at the stake, it was said.
Oklahoma City, Oct. 6- A radian move to prevent race riots was an announced by Governor Robertson when after a brief conference he appointed a committee to put out propaganda to create good feeling The organization will have branches in every county.
Plans to Check Riots
London, Oct. 8—British railway workers were returning to their posts today after both the strikers and the government had made concessions yesterday which ended this country's greatest labor walkout.

(United Press)
The 30,000 fans who came to cheer (or the White Sox victory remained) to cheer for Eiler for one of the most marvelously pitched games in World Series history. Only 31 batmen raced Eiler. Never after the first was missed by a batsman or first two games a one-inning attack on the run on the game for the Reds.
Cast aidrift by the White Sox once upon a time because he would not do. Hod Eller, the burly shinbail artist of the Fat Moran Terns took revenge today in the fifth game of the series. Eller shut out the American League champs by a score of 5 to 0. He allied with his opponents and struck out nine of them. Six of his strike-outs came in succession second and third innings.
Up to the sixth Little Claudia Villiams had pitched sterling ball. Eller himself started a steam roller attack that sent Williams to his second defeat. Eller's long飞 fall between Johnson and Felch for a two-bagger with the ball. He was at third. Rath cut in with a single and Eller was over.
After Daubert had sacrificed Robe walked. Rouch then accepted a triple. Duncan's sacrifice fly scored Rouch with the fourth run.
The Red's other run came in the 9th without a hit. Rosch was safe an Colin's double. Oafs sacrificed and outplayed. Riberg was throwing out Noate.
Schalk was sent to the bench by Umpire Kigier when he disagreed with the decision and scored in the sixth that umpies banished him. Schalk randised his fist beath the umpires nose. Pat Moran has won four games with four different pitchers, a feat said to be unprecedented in history. He had expected to pitch Reuther tomorrow it was thought likely he would send in Lauque an dry to take the series with five different pitchers. Kerr ill probably pitch for the Sox. Autumn weather overtook the World's second-largest ski hill in the air when the Reds and White Sox opened the fifth game today. Rain that caused the postponement of Sunday's game routed the summer weather that has followed the games. Overwhelmed by the shirt sleeves of the earlier players.
In acordance with the plan entered into last year by which the rules of the University Senate should be made known clearly to the student body by publication in The Daily Kansan I recently call your attention to the following rule of the Senate:
APPLAUDED RUB PLAYERS
It was rather a subdued crowd. Cali-
cagio fandom to all appearances had
about given up hope for the White
Sox. When the Reds walked from
the dugout, they gave a general round of applause. The Reds received another good hand from the
crown when they supplanted the Sox in front of the batting cage.
There was a bad slippery spot on
the wet field grass of third base and
the outfield grass is a bit wet and slip-
All hazing, including 'paddling' and all other methods of enforcing student regulations by physical violence, is forbidden.
Class elections will be held October 17. John Monteith, President Mora's Student Council.
Notice
A similar rule against hazing was enacted some years ago upon direction of the Board of Regents. A similar rule is in force in practically every university in the United States and is regarded as fair and necessary for the best interests of the institution in question.
The Senate is in honor bound to this rule which is in accordance with the earnest desire of the Board of Administration.
I am asking you to publish this so as to give fair notice to all in the University, and I sincerely hope in all friendly feeling that the student body will observe a rule so clearly in accordance with fair play and the interests of our University.
FRANK STRONG, Chancellor

FRESHMAN HURLS DEFI AT K. U. CAP TRADITION
Raymond P. Henze Has No Fear of Paddles,
He Says
Calls Custom Antocratic
To The Daily Kansan:—
Asserts He Will Sacrifice Himself For Benefit of "Green" Men
10 The Daily Kansan:
Pray let the truth be known to all you trust. All of those concerned with the regulation on freeshain dunce-caps or those in who some way could prevent this outrage, that I, the undersigned, fail to appreciate the humor and justice of being forced to wear a cap, do hereby take up the issue with the hope of proving the falsity of your unjust ruling; and helping to create a peaceful settlement; and helping to make K. U. a safe and sane University.
I have been warned, by those who mean well, that the best policy would be to submit meekly to your ignoble decision. I have considered the matter from many angles, and yet I fear not, for I have been through many struggles and hence, as in the past, and have survived them, the form of liberty which is a man's unrestricted name, the privilege of wearing whatever headwear he chooses.
**SYMBOL OF DEGENERATE *tradition***
It is a small matter, you say and you fully realize that close attention to the rules will sure foundation for the greater ones.
I realize this; you may injure me in the eyes of my fellow students, you may prevent my being voted into any club or fraternity, you may prevent my entering in any school activity, or hinder my otherwise—but you cannot mike my spikr, after my thoughts, or cause me to suffer. I must sacrifice self for the benefit of the school, and the freshmen now and in the future.
Gentleman, I came here to study and learn because I wanted the chemistry course so I would be good. I did not come here to be an am or to your folly. I have paid for what I want, only, and have no money to buy symbols of a degenerate tradition.
I have always admired a strong school spirit and have always done all I could to further that spirit. Nevertheless, I know and you know that behind the whole purpose of the symbol is nothing but autocracy of the richer students, egotism of the upper class constitutes school spirit, disregard for moral rights of a freeman, idolatry of a spurious tradition, and graft.
"WHERE IS BROTHERLY LOVE?"
The cap custom was brought here in 1912 but it was wrought from the evil scum of misconception, and to this the degenerate snob class of students added injury, injury and dishonor. If the intentions were to help the freshman become acquainted, the moniker and distinction was ill-conceived; it was not a sign of good luck that he had to accept it for barter value in exchange of honor for graft. If there is any logical reason for distinguishing the freshman why, in the name of common sense, don't you select some badge, button or service stripe with an additional stripe of for every year spent at the University? Why select personal property which is none of your concern?
You give us the glad hand when we arrive. You invite us to stags, give us refreshments, preach to us the gospel of brotherly love, and make us your friends. When you ask our heads you try to bully us into submission and meekness, so it seems. Where is that Christian spirit gone? Have you not read and understood Exodus XIII:2 as follows: "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do such an ungrateful thing upon spence to decline (follow) after many to wreak judgment."
"A SPIRIT OF GERMANISM"
You realize that the cap brings ridicule, mackery and raillery to the wearer and yet you who are supposed to have the welfare of each student at heart, bolster the cause of the bully. In your vanity you claim that the purpose of the cap is to rid the freshmen of that which you possess the greater portion. You speak for the people and speeches are polluted with verbal dust to blind the mind and frighten he spirit of the "green" mem.
Men, where is your honesty? Where is your better judgment? Where is your heart? Why are you so selfish? You are intimidating our boys
