tire year 1913 was only about 81 per
cent. and thus far In 1920 about IS
per cent The capacity OF all cement
mills In the United States is 1885,
100000 barrels or more annually.
The most cement ever used In the
country In any previous year was
about 100000 barrels In 1915. That
Is TO say. the country has never used
as much as rs per cent OF its produc-
tive capacity, conservatively esti-
mated.
RAILROADS MUST HELP.
There is now and will be plenty
cement TO supply the country's needs
as long as transportation and other
conditions permit the cement mills TO
operate reasonably near full capacity
and TO ship the finished product. Many
people are too complacent about the
railroad situation. Undoubtedly rail-
road service has improved greatly
through increased efficiency In oper-
alton, but the roads are not now called
upon to do what they were called up
on TO do through the last year. Bust
ness In general Is slowing down and
farmers are holding back their prod
ucts from the market
Business In general is sure sooner
or later to revive. and the farmer to
send his stored products to market.
When both or either OF these things
occur the railroads will again have
more than they are able to do. II

FOUR BAY STATE
YOUTHS BREAK
JAIL AT BELFAST

Belfast. Me. Oct 13-(SpeciaD-
It was discovered Thursday morning
that four Boston boys, committed to
jail last week, had broken out and
made a getaway. They are known
as the Boston quartet, composed of
William J. Scannell, Joseph Corey,
George Darragh and Arthur Digan
With the exception of Darrah, who is
serving 10 months. the boys were
committed for eight months each,
having plead guilty to the theft of
an automobile in Belfast, June 10.
since when they have been in Jail
here. Darragh has made two other
unsuccessful attempts to break Jail.
The boys sawed the bars from their
cells and from window at the back
of the Jail. A hacksaw which they
had dropped was found near the
window. It is believed that they had
outside help as no possible trace has
been found of them up to noon on
Thursday. Their absence was not
discovered until Thursday morning
at breakfast>time. The four other
occupants of the Jail claim to know
nothing of the break. The quartet is
also wanted in Bangor for breaking
| and entering and for the theft of an
automobile. to which they have con-
fessed. They came here from Ban
gor with stolen plumber and said that
they were on their way back to Bos-
ton to sell the goods, when taken into
custody, June 10.

UNION SuSpENOS
KANSAS MINERS;
GUSTS OFFICERS

Pittsburg. Kas., Oct. 13.-The Kan
sas district of the United Mine
Workers of America has been sus-
pended by John l.. Lewis, interna :
tional president, it was announced
today.
Alexander Howat and all other dis
trict officers are summarily removed
and George L. Peck, until the dis
trict's suspension the international
board member. has been appointed
acting president of a provisional dis
trict.
The Kansas miners have been. idle
for two weeks. or since Howat and
August Dorchy the district vice
president, went to Jail at Columbus 10
lation of the Kansas industrial court
law
The cause Of Lewis action, how
ever. in suspending the district IS
based on the refusal Of Howat and
his district board to put back az
work miners called out on tsrike at
the Dean and Reliance mines last
spring. The international organiza
ton holds that the strikes were IN
violation of agreements with the op-
orators and the international board
ordered Howat to order the men back
TO work. Howat refused to do so.
The recent international convention
at Indianapolis sustained the action
of the international officers. hut
Howat still refused to order the men
to return to work.
When Peck entered the headauar-
tiers of the district union today and
asked that the place be turned over
to him. John Fleming. acting pres
ident of the Kansas district refused
to do so.
II won't pay any attention to you.
Fleming told Peck.

New York, Oct 13-(By The AS

cial and attendance records for
future championship contests to
shoot at. The total paid attendance

by the fans of the two cities during
