Spencer, Sept. 10.-Christenson Bros.
6. Co.. proprietors of the Cement Tile
Roofing Works of this city, informs the
word that common cinders, which, up
to the present, have been considered
quite worthless save for ballasting and
filing purposes, can now be worked up
irto valuable building material. Mr.. H.
Christensen has devoted much time to
this experiment and feels confident
that he has accomplished his object.
He has discovered that by using Gin
ders which have gone thru his process
of refining and preparing, can be made
up into cement roofing which will sup
e.rcede any present roofing, both for
wear end durability. He also finds that
by using prepared cinders his cement
roofing not only increases in strength,
but also diminishes in weight, making
reduction of so per cent below his
former process and about Is per cent
below ordinary tile roofing
Notwithstanding this plant was first
put into operation in April last, a great
demand has already been created and
several buildings in this city have al
ready been covered. In order to meet
thu, increa sing demand the Christensen
Bros expect to vastly increase the
working capacity of their plant.

STILL ON STRIKE
Packing House Employees at Sioux City
Repudiated the Order to Call off the
Strike and Are Still Out.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Sept. 10.--The local strike
of packing house employees is still in
progress. The peace settlement in Chi
cage was repudiated by the local strik
ers yesterday after conference be-
tween Manager William Watson, and a
committee of strikers. The conference
resulted in Watson, of the Cudahy
plant refusing to recognize the union,
whereupon the local strike leader,
President Charles Mcclure, of the Hog
Butchers union, refused to acknow
ledge the conference ultimatum.
AS far as Sioux City is concerned the
strike is still on. Manager Watson
wants to make the fight a personal one
and is willing to continue it. Not a
hog butcher, cattle butcher, or a cas-
ing worker will go back to work in the
Cudahy plant while Watson is at it's
head" declared Mcclure in an inter-
view.
The Industrial Association, nom
union organization, may take a hand in
the local situation and secure an in
junction against Mcclure and his asso-
ciates from further interfering.
