MERCER And LABOR UNIONS
Representatives Of Latter Declare No Body

Many strike Leaders and other
Prominent Union Men Say POliti-

Denounced.
CLAIM OF MERCER IS CALLED LUDlcRoUs

Several Union Pacific strike leaders and
other local organized labor leaders repudi-
ate the statement which appears on David
II. MERGERS electioDeering card 10 the
eject that the lstter has been endorsed by
union labor. Not one has yet been found
who knows that Mr.. Mercer has received
such enforcement. but many can testify
positively that Mercer has not received a
single intimation Of endorsement from ann
organized labor union in Omaha.
Why. it's too ladicrous to think Of"
said a representative union labor man.
Three Of the strike leaders were con-
fronte6 with this question and in each case
the answer was that no union in Omaha TO
their knowledge had endorsed Mercer or
given him the FIRST excuse for claiming such
support II is q notable fact, however, that
Mr.. Mercer has been severely denounced By
scores Of union labor men. and as one OF
these expressed IT yesterday. II the
unions as bodies have not specifically con-
oemned Mercer for his arrogant disregard
OF organized labor. it is because they DO
not consider it worth while.
Gives Strikers Ten Dollars
Mercer gave US $40 the other day" said
one Of the strikers, but ! never heard that
ne was promised any support from any Of
US. We took the $40. for we needed the
money, and as IL was given just as all such
money is given 10 US, we did not stop TO
question whether it came in the true spirit
OF benehcence. We naturally took this for
granted. You know politicians are given TO
doing such things for the sake Of benevo-
%lence," and h smiled.
Strikers here claimed that twenty-five
OF the nonunion shipment in Omaha quit
work Wednesday and nine yesterday.

There is universal regret among the Union
Paelne strikers ever the pending departure
Of General Manager Dickinson. Mr.. Diekin-
son has always been a ~favorite with the en-
ployes Of the road; the men have left that
they were assured Of fair treatment at his
hands and they have hoped that he would
not leave the road until this strike is set
tied at least. But many are Of the opinion
that the strike has increased Mr.. Dickin-
sons anxiety to get away.

I think that a remin- iscent glance at our smoke chat meetings night after night, wherever we chanced to be, reveals to me most freely the great qualities in the man which the world has-.n profoundly honored. I can see that kindly, euzzical look in his deep blue eyes under his bushy eyebrows, when he broke the silence after medita- ting;

 Looking back over the long years of as- sociation with William Mckinley, noth- ing seems to stand out more prominently than the hearty and sunny way in which he always enjoyed the friendly hours of recreation. These pleasant episodes of a purely personal nature are emphasized more and mere as think of him. and tt is these that I most cherish in the memo ry of the man. His greatness as states man was but the reflection of his greats ness as a man. William Mckinley was faultless in his friendships.

When They Smoked.

Senator Hanna to the National Maga-
 zine.
 I got the closest revelations of William McKinley's character, I think, in our quiet hours of smoking and chatting, when all the rest had retired. Far past midnight we have sat many times talk ng over those matters which friends al- ways discuss-and the closer l came to lhe man the more lovable his character appeared Every time we met there was revealed the gentle, growing greatness of | man who knew men, respected them and loved them. Never was it the per- sonal interests of William Mckinley that he discussed, but those of friends, or his party and, above all, of the people, His clear-cut conscientiousness was pro- aounced In these heart-to-heart talks friend to friend-in the calm serenity of .he nights quiet hours, we felt the ties )f our Iife's friendship growing stronger ,s we simply sat and puffed and looked in sach others faces. These home smoke chats are the treasured memories of a man who loved mankind much more shan he did himself, and who had con- ,ecrated his career to the people. He al- ways was interested in business and in iustrial affairs. and understood them as Jew men did in their relation to the home comforts and happiness of the American people. It was In these quiet

are. 10 feet in height and klinkers are held there in Il cooling process for eighteen hours They are made cool by the blast ing of cold air through their entire length.
 This Is done automatically.
 When made cold the klinkers are corr veyed by belt elevator into the building occupied by the ball mills. After passing through the ball mills the powder is sent through still finer tube mills. From the latter it comes out the product as placed on the market. It is so fine that 95 to 9a per cent will pass through 100 mesh screen.
 In the stock room it is rlaced in bins ready for the. man who packs it in bar rels and sacks for the market.
 The company owns ten mill buildings, and will soon have completed 100 cot tages for the employees in the works. All the mill buildings but two are built Of steel frames and all. The sizes of the various buildings are: Main mill, 1OOx12o feet rock mill, SOx12O; engine room, 5SxSo; coal mills 70xS0; kiln mills, 7Ox100; ma chine shop 4Ox1OO; stock house. 1OOx12O; rock shed. 5Sx150; an office building, 5Qx7O
 The brand under which the company sells It's goods is Red Diamond" It is exceptionally high grade, and 1t is ex- pected to soon be recognized throughout the South as the best portland cement in this section of the country. For the pres ent the market of the concern will be confined to Louisiana Mississippi. Ken lucky. Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina Missouri and Cuba.
 MT. Hampton Smith, who is selling agent for the concern at Birmingham. has had several tests made by MT. w. H. Hall, assistant city engineer. These arc interesting from the fact that they show tensile strength higher than that shown by any brand ever brought to Birming- l ham. A briquette made of neat cement broke at 4S0 pounds for twenty-foul hours. A seven day briquette broke a S92 pounds.
 This, according to MT. Smith. Is re markable, and proves that cement cal l be made right at home equal or superio l to any foreign domestic brands o | portland cement. It will unquestionabI. 1 supplant all others in Southern territory

Curious Facts AboutDynan1ite

Many erroneous beliefs are entertained egarding that innocent-looking, pleasant ,asting composition know to the world as lynamite. Even it's name is sufficient to strike terror to the heart cf some.
 And yet dynamite is not the dangerous ;ubstance that most people suppose 1t to ,e. It can be handled with impunity and ven recklessly, and will not detonate ex- ,ept under certain we'll defined clrcum- stances.
 Dynamite is not an explosive. It is letonator-a difference in degree only. lut Q wide difference in effects and one worthy of remembering An explosion is aused by the generating or liberating of gases from Q solid, liquid or other gas aous substance so quickly that the gases formed cannot be confined in the space # the original substance. Detonators lib rate their gases practically instantan- ously. The greater bulk must find out .et at once and does not have time to icek the path of least resistance, but must find space.
 When dynamite lets go 1t has the right if way above, below and on all sides md Is never disposed to waive that right n favor of anybody or anything. If load d in a gun or cannon it would come ut at the side, stock, breech or some where in addition to driving the load from the muzzle A detonation is in round numbers one thousand times quicker than an explosion.

 How Cement is Made.
 While I was at the plant of the com pany I was kindly shown the process by which the portland cement is manufac- tured. Speaking without technical knowledge the work is somewhat as fol- lows:
 The limerock quarry now being made use of is situated just across the railroad track from the main buildings of the

nature. varying in color with the absor- bent used. Certain other ingredients arc combined with the absorbent, so as to obtain perfect results in absorption and to guard against the danger of any free acid left in the nitro glycerine.
 Nitro-g -glycerine is the only detonating property; the absorbent neither helps nor retards this property. AS it's name implies this powerful agent Is the result of the action of nitric acid upon glycerine. and in its manufacture must be handled and treated with the greatest care. A sudden jar or the natural heat developed y the chemical action of its component parts will often cause 1t to detonate.
 Dynamite is placed on the market in the form of sticks, varying in diameter from half an inch to three inches. and In length from two and one-half to twelve inches. It is perfectly safe to hurl these sticks with all the force you can against any object you may pick out without the least danger of its detonating. A shock will not set it off. It is possible to safely strike small quantity of 1t placed upon an anvil with a sledge, but be sure to hit it squarely. You may load it in pieces of gas pipe and throw 1t from the top of a tall monument with no danger of damaging any one Dynamite under these conditions would be as harmless as sand
 It is also perfectly possible to open the end of one of those sticks and set fire to 1t. It will simply burn, giving off red dish fume with a rather pungent odor. It
 will not detonate. If a large body of 1t
 were set on fire the heat generated by the burning part might be great enough to raise the temperature of the part still unburned above the detonating point of 260 degrees Farhrenheit, or a stick thrown into a fire would undoubtedly reach this point before combustion took place.

given special treatment by the rotary system.
 Another screw conveyor now carries the reperly proportioned, but raw material, the rolling mills. These mills are nade up of plain cornish rolls and leave 1e material one-eighth of an inch thick then 1t comes from them. To the yer ioal sturdivant mills it is next trans 'orted by screws. These mills consist of lrge emory wheels, four in number, and he effect of the materials passage trough them is to make it powder so inc that 90 per cent will pass through quare inch 1000 holes.
 In this powdered condition the material ] given the first step in the finishing gorks. It is carried from the sturd- ant mills into the kilns These kilns cnslst of large. long cylinders built of teel and lined with fire brick. It re- uires twenty-four hours for a handful material to pass through them. It nters automatically from the rear end the kiln and passes through by rotary 'cton. While in the kiln the material subject to sn inter SC heat of 5000 to 2O0 dagl ees.
 Coal is Ground.
 The intense heat of the kilns is se- ured by the use of coal ground to a pow CT so fine that 90 per cent will pass trough a 100 mesh screen. The process f crushing this coal is similar to that y which the stone is disintegrated. It } done in separate building The coal , blown into the kiln by a small blast ube like a gas pipe.

This chemical action .auses the material to roll up into lit- le balls, as snow rolls into balls when 'alling down a roof. These pellets vary Il size from hickory nut down to a 1uckshot and are called klinkers.

It is not as hare as the ordinary stone used in street pay ing but more like a mixed clay anc stone. From the quarry it is moved to shed at present by carts. Work on tramway over the tracks is being planned. so that soon 1t will be moved automati. cally.
 In the shed the stone is slightly sprink- led. Then 1t is sent up an incline ana Jumped into the disintegrating or reduc- ing machines. Here the blocks arc mashed and dsntegrated almost to powder.
