Worked for Four Years in Coal Mines and Steel Plants--Writes and Speaks With First-Hand Knowledge

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Whiting Williams, labor leader and author of several books on the labor situation, will speak in Peabody Hall, Phillips Brooks House, at 8 o'clock tonight.

Mr. Williams, who will speak at a meeting held under the auspices of the Phillips Brooks House Association, has chosen the subject "What's on the Worker's Mind." His lecture will be open to members of the University.

Tonight's lecturer writes and speaks with first-hand knowledge of the labor situation. From 1919 to 1923, he lived as a laborer in the coal mines and steel plants of the United States and Europe.

At the time when he started his career as a laborer, Mr. Williams was personnel director and vice-president of the Hydraulic Steel Company. Previous to that time he had been assistant to the president of Oberlin College and executive secretary of the Cleveland Welfare Federation. He has lectured on labor problems at the Business School and at the Tuck School of Business Administration, Dartmouth.

Colonel Samuel Hof, President of the Business School Club, will introduce Mr. Williams this evening. Opportunity will be given at the close of the lecture to question Mr. Williams, who will answer queries from the platform.
