With the return of Superintendent OF

of the southern strike, it is expected
that the representatives of the Brother
hood of Railway Carmen, who are in
Topeka, as related in the State Journal
of Thursday evening, will have a con-

All the men maintain a strict retic-
ence regarding the purpose of their
gathering in Topeka; but they assume
an air of confidence that there will be
no difficulty whatever in securing what
they ask. What this may be they do
not state. They are willing to admit,
however, that they are not looking for
trouble and believe that their meeting
with Mr.. Henderson will be most har-
monious. 1t is surmised that they may
come to an understanding with the
mechanical department that the system
of piece work at the Topeka shops be
not extended to any of the other shops
of the system, though there is nothing
definite as to what is their attitude in
this respect. There may be some talk,
too, as to the Encouragement of their

This number of members is increasing
rapidly. The Brotherhood always has been

is properly effective next Sunday, but
who has not been handling his duties

D. E. Barton who takes charge, is a
man of much experience in N echanics.
Lately he has been what is known as
track foreman in the Baldwin plant at
Philadelphia; that is, he had jurisdic-
ton of the locomotives as they were
being finished and sent out to their re-
spective purchasers. Previous to his
connection with the Baldwin people,
which dates back some years, he had a

The lola Cement Plant Conn.,
PEELED to Enlarge.
An Additional Two Sections
Costing 100000.
WILL EMPLOY $50 MEN.
Construction to Begin on the
Mill October 1st.
Have Largest Capacity Of Any
Plant on Earth.

lola, July 1S.-The lola Portland Ce-
ment company has decided that the only
way it will ever catch up with its orders
is to enlarge, and engineers are working
today on the plans and specifications
for a twO-section addition to the mill.
This. will increase the capacity of the
plant from 1900 to 5000 barrels per
day, will increase the number of en-
ployes from 400 to $50. will cost 100000
and will make the lola cement works
beyond comparison the largest in the
world.
For several years the business of the
present plant has been growing, and
several times the travelling statesmen
have been ordered to quit taking or
ders. From Chicago and St Louis to
the Pacific coast and south to the Gulf
of Mexico lola cement has been ship
ped, tested and found to be the very
highest grade Each order has brought
two orders. The plant with it's 5000 bar
rels a day capacity has run behind with
its orders. The officials and stock
holders considered the matter and de-
cided to occupy the field by enlarging.
Engineers are now engaged in draw
ing the plans for the increase. 1t VIII
take some weeks to complete these and
then the steel for the buildings. the
engines, Griffin mills, rOtaries and the
immense equipment must be secured.
So October has been fixed as the date
when ground will be broken for the adj
dition.
The new building will be like the
south main building of the present
works. 1t will contain two sections,
with seven rotaries in each section and
2S Griffin mills. 1t will be erected right
north of the present mill and the ware
room will be extended north along the
west side of the addition. The estima-
ted cost of addition is 100000. 1t will be
an increase of &C 2-3 per cent of the
present works. The present mill en-
ploys 400 men and the addition will in
crease this number to $50 and swell the
local payroll in proportion.
Owing to the scarcity of houses for
men and the inability to get good board,
the cement company has decided to
erect a large boarding house near the
mills where accommodations for 80 men
can be secured.
In spite of widely scattered advertise
ments for men the company has been
unable to secure all the workmen need
ed and several representatives have
been on the road looking for men. Fiji
teen were brought in Monday and
Tuesday evening Sid Wing returned
from Louisville, Kentucky, where he
secured 80 experienced cement work.
