SHOWS HOW PORTLAND
Cement IS MANUFACTURED
Model of Plant Placed on View at
National Museum by Division
of Mineral Technology.

In connection with its educational
exhibition work. the division of min
eral technology of the National Mu-
scum has just completed a model Of a
Portland cement plant and placed it on
| exhibition in the southwest corner of
the older building.
This model is a miniature of real
cement plant and covers eighty square
feet. its design and layout being such
as to enable the visitor to follow sue
cessively the various steps of the proc
ess by walking around the model from
left to right. so that he can learn more
in half hour, perhaps. by viewing
this model than spending a whole dav
in an actual plant
Portland cement may be defined as
product made by burning limestone and
clay, which have been mixed so as to
form certain composition. and grind
ing the resulting "clinker" to powder.
In the early days much mystery sur
rounded the manufacture of Portland
| cement when it was first discovered by
a bricklayer OF Leeds. England.
In this country the Portland cement
industry had its beginnings in the Lee
high valley in Pennsylvania, chiefly in
Lehigh and Northampton counties,
where John w. Eckert. a chemist. dis
covered that there occurred a limestone
,, composed of approximately the correct
ingredients necessary for the manufac-
ture of Portland cement. The model
represents the process of manufacture
used in this section of Pennsylvania
where the limestone that is used is
termed cement rock.
This exhibit is the most recent
achievement of one of the museums
newest divisions. mineral technology,
which was organized about three years
ago to increase the popular knowledge
OF the mineral industries of this coun-
try and to further the understanding
of the adaptability of the derived prod
ucts.
Other Industrial exhibits in this di-
vision of similar scope include: Soda.
glass. gypsum, caol, graphite and oil.
while several more are in course of
construction.

More Than Fifty Cases.

president Marks has referred to the
trial board more than fifty cases in
which he possessed the arbitrary power
of removal. In every case the judg-
ment of the trial board has been unan-
imous, the two fellow employees in each
case reaching the same conclusion as
the representatives of the president
THE effect of this joint trial board
upon the discipline of the department
has been most salutary. Instead of dis
torted descriptions of the star cham
Der proceedings which preceded the
arbitrary dismissal of guilty en-
ploye, the employees who have served
on the joint trial board have returned
TO their fellow employees with the doc
trine of the square deal No innocent
employe can lose his position while
his fellow employees sit upon the trial
board to protect his interests. but his
fellow employees cannot undertake to
protect him if he has really been
guilty of serious misconduct In each
found guilty.
The abolition of the fning system in
the fire department and the establish
ment of the joint trial board in the
Office of the borough president have
greatly improved discipline in these
two branches of the New York city ad-
ministration. Should this not teach a
lesson to other cities and to private
employers who have the interests of
their employees seriously at heart?''
