Excerpt from Kansas Labor Laws and Laws Especially Affecting the Employment of Labor (Annotated): Compiled for State Department of Labor and Industry In the work of law enforcement the Department of Labor and Indus try has found that in many cases the law is unintentionally violated because of the failure of the offending parties to know or properly under stand the requirements of the statutes. Some employers are found also who take advantage of the fact that their employees do not know of the protection offered by the laws, and who deliberately ignore their legal ob ligations. To meet this situation and to place within the reach of every employer and worker the opportunity to familiarize himself with the laws affecting labor, this book has been prepared and a sufficient number printed for free distribution to those interested therein. An effort has been made to include in a small and conveniently ar ranged volume all the laws relating to the employment of labor and to the relationship between employer and employee in the state of Kansas, including the latest labor laws and amendments, arranged and indexed so as to make them readily accessible. It is the present intention of the department to issue a supplement to this volume at the close of the next and succeeding sessions of the legislature, containing such changes and additions as are made necessary by new acts that are passed from time to time.

One of "our most insightful social observers"* cracks the great political mystery of our time: how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank turns his eye on what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the populist revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment. The high point of that backlash is the Republican Party's success in building the most unnatural of alliances: between blue-collar Midwesterners and Wall Street business interests, workers and bosses, populists and right-wingers. In asking "what 's the matter with Kansas?"—how a place famous for its radicalism became one of the most conservative states in the union—Frank, a native Kansan and onetime Republican, seeks to answer some broader American riddles: Why do so many of us vote against our economic interests? Where's the outrage at corporate manipulators? And whatever happened to middle-American progressivism? The questions are urgent as well as provocative. Frank answers them by examining pop conservatism—the bestsellers, the radio talk shows, the vicious political combat—and showing how our long culture wars have left us with an electorate far more concerned with their leaders' "values" and down-home qualities than with their stands on hard questions of policy. A brilliant analysis—and funny to boot—What's the Matter with Kansas? presents a critical assessment of who we are, while telling a remarkable story of how a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs came to convince a nation that they spoke on behalf of the People. *Los Angeles Times
