United States Leads World In Labor Strikes
Mudge Hamlin, Jean Clark, Mildeed Hart, Agnes Eagle and Gertrude Hude will be home-party guests of the Renaissance Home in Kansas City this week end.
Strikes are more common in the United States than in any other country. The annual number of strikers to each 1,000 laborers is 33.6 in the United States; in 'Great Britain, 27.6; in Germany, 11.1. Strikes are not increasing as rapidly as the industrial population, but the number of successful strikes is increasing in proportion to the unsuccessful. This isization and control of the strikes by labor unions.
The first known strike in America was among the bakers in New York in 1741. In 1877 the first strike of national size among the railroad employees necessitated the calling out of the railroads and protection of the railway property.
At present, about 52 per cent of the employees involved in stricken are successful in gaining all or part of their demands.
The three kinds of strikes of which the public least approves are sympathetic strikes, which have proven unintended by the government and the employment of non-union men; and strikes to compel the employer to accept union regulations. The courts usually uphold the view of the public that strikes of strikes declare them unfuloy.

Wicked Woman Routs Circulation Manager From His Downy Pillow
Flord Hockenhull, circulation manager of The Daily Kansas, was called from sound sleep to the telephone at 3:50 elocit to move his machine to the subscription rates of The Daily Kansas. Indignant, Hockenhull slammed up the receiver with an angry exclamation and demanded he be summoned back to the telephone.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Hockenhull," the feminine voice remarked calmly. "You're wide awake now and won't lose any more sleep by giving me the information I want. How much is the paper?"
"Three and a half for the school year," Hockenhall snapped, "but if you'll give me your name and address I will send it." He added a premium of the supreme server.
"Pretty please, Mr. Hockenhall," the voice replied. "Let's talk nice. This is more of an honor than you realize. How many times have you and how many men in the University have had a pretty girl call them up to talk to them at 11 in the morning. Oh, yes, I am pretty—and nice too." "All right," replied Hockenhall, "make it snappy."
"Still groomy, old dear, now do be good. I haven't been able to get to sleep and lying awake I thought of a means to do that. You might do that and is one of them. Did you ever think of the telephone as a means of entertaining yourself when you couldn't sleep. I never did either, but now I'm dependent and original, don't you?"
now I've been thinking of subscribing to The Daily Kansan, but want to ask you do you think it is as good as it was last year?"
"Sure it is. We're taking United Press telecommunications service now—daily reports right off the wires, just like the big motonetian daily."
"But that is what is worrying me.
Isn't this telegraph news crowding
out campus news?"
"Well, if that's all that's worrying you you can go to sleep. The telegraphic news isn't crowding out one line of campus news."
"Are you quite sure?
'Sure I am. The Daily Kansan this year has increased the width of its pagen by one column and the length
by one inch. Before this year we had a 6-column paper. Now we have a 7-column paper—seven columns on each page, that means. The longer page and extra column to the page gives us five more columns than we have had previously in a 4-page paper.
"These five extra columns take care of the additional space required for all telegraphic news and besides at the same time allow more space for campus news than we ever have had before."
"And I'll subscribe."
"Oh, I'm so glad."
"Huuh."
"Name and address please."
“Oh, no, I couldn't tell you that But honestly I will, good night.” “No wait a minute.”

"No wait a minute."
"Well."
"Call up Hall and Cochran, too?" "Hall and Cochran?"
"Do me a favor will you?" "Perhaps."
"Yes, the business manager and advertising manager of The Daily Kansan."
"But why?"
"Why? Why because I'd like those two birds to have to climb out of bed just as you made me do."
"Oh, certainly. Good night." And she did and they did.

Illinois Constitutional Convention Recognizes K. U. Authority on Ballot
A monograph on the cumulative voting system for legislators in Illinois, written by Prof. Blaine F. Moore, will be used for reference by the Illinois Constitutional Convention which will meet in January. The monograph was written by Professor Moore ten years ago as his masters thesis at the time of his graduation from U.S.A., and during summer it was revised and brought up to date by Prof. H. B. Chabb, under the direction of Professor Moore
The article contains much valuable information regarding the results of elections held under the cumulative voting system, which early in the 1960s was deemed necessary to obtain minority representation. It is the only state using the system at present according to Professor Moore. The revised monograph will review the results of elections using tables of election results for every election since 1870.
Professor Moore has had his thesis revised for this purpose at the request of Dr. W, F. Dodd of the University of Chicago, who is in charge of the convention. The collection, Mr Moore says, will be one of the largest and
"Although it has in the past had its good results, it also has developed weaknesses," said Professor Moore, "one of the most notable of which is the strong party control which it gives."
It is probable that the cumulative voting system will be the subject of much debate in the convention, and it may be included in the new constitution.
