the reporter stopped into Mr. Col

asked for an Interview concerning

been attained by them.

It is directly related to every day

According to Mr. Collins, these
programs are always concerned
with what is going on in Morrill
hall, and items of interest from the
various museums of the world.
"This museum," said Mr. Collins,
"has the opportunity to he one of
the best in the country. There are
no museums within approximately
500 miles east or west of us. The
Field museum in Chicago being
the nearest ona to the east of us,
and the museum at Denver is the
nearest on the west"
But to get back to the subject
of radio addresses, as stated before
it is a museum service to let the
people of Nebraska know what is
going on in Morrill hall, the home
of the Nebraska State museum.
However, the interest aroused by

ders, secretary of the Chicago of
fice of the League for Industrial
Democracy, at 9 o'clock in Ellen

Friday and sessions were held yes
terday morning and afternoon.
Mr. Borders, who is connected
with the Chicago Commons, spoke
at the opening meeting of the
conference in Ellen Smith hall
Friday evening on the extent and
effects, of unemployment. He
described the effects of unemploy
ment as he sees them among the
destitute classes of Chicago in the
pauper sections and "flop" houses.
A social hour from 9 until 10:30
o'clock followed Mr. Borders talk.
Evelyn Adler, arts and science
senior was in charge of Friday
night's session.
Hapgood Speaks.
Powers Hapgood, of the Colum
bia Conserve company, spoke on
"Unemployment, Causes and Im
mediate Remedies" at the general
session of the conference Saturdav
morning. The local aspect of the
unemployment situation was dis
cussed by John H. Agee, president
of the Lincoln chamber of com
merce." Woodrow Magee. arts and
science freshman of Havelock,
presided at the .-lorning meeting.
"There is a direct connection be
tween arrests for petty crimes and
the business cycle," Mr. Hapgood
declared. "When business is on
the upper trend, there are fewer
arrests than when unemployment
and depression are on the in
crease." According to Mr. Hapgood, the
cause of industrial depression if
the lack of purchasing power to
buy the necessities which are pro
duced. He declared that overpro
duction has not caused this critical
situation but that, while produc
tion is no greater than the public
need, purchasing power has been
so cut down as to make the ap
pearance of over production.
Cites Conserve Company.
Mr. Hapgood described the
operation of the Columbia Con
serve company and the relation of
employers to employees. The work
ers are paid according to their
needs, rather than according to
their efficiency. In order to se
cure trained workers without pay
ing for their efficiency, the work
ers already employed are trained.

The less fortunate Roberts were
taken out to a lonesome spot under
the walls of the penitentiary where
the meeting of all the plotters was
scheduled to take place, but the
general gang atmosphere of the
kidnapers frightened the guards
who decided that they were organ
izing a prison break and ordered
them away.
Something went haywire tone
wher., and since tbe four could not
all be there, the big hearted gang
sters decided to let the remaining
captives go free. They were taken
back to town and they made their
way immediately to the Prom
where they west to town the rest
of tbe evening.
The Identity of the bloodthirsty
plotters has not been disclosed, ex
cept to everybody who perso&sUlj
asked the victims. The fate that
the four escaped can also only be
guessed at. (Three guesses.) But
