Moore Of the department of geology tind Mr. Mnnle, who is Interested in the "Nebraska quarry industry. The object of these experiments is to find out Whether n conunoreiiil cemont can bo manufactured from Nebraska rocks. The experiments include the making of Content from the limo rocks that are found in the southeastern part of the jJtn'o and the comparison of the article with cement that is successfully made for commercial uses. Flattering re 3ults have been obtained by this in vestigation In the laboratory. A ce ment has been made from native rock that compares favorably with the ce ment that Is on the market. The ques tion yet remains to be solved as to whether this product can be manufac tured profitably In large quantities. to to to to to to to to to j? 00 jf?

Sat urday Evening Post. COl'NCIL MEETING POSTPONED. The university council, consisting of the heads of the departments in the university, the presidents and heads ot dupartments In the colleges of tl.o slate, the board of regents of the unl A'drfllf y, the governor and state officials and the' principals of accredited high st'hools, which was to have met on charter day, was postponed on account of the Impossibility of finding time for it at this charter day. The regents had so much business outlined for them that it was impossible for them to take any time for this purpose, and accordingly they approved of the post ponement. The council will meet, however, on commencement day, June 7. and probably the meeting will bo a fuller one then because of the failure to have a mooting at this time. JUSTICE TO INDIVIDUALS. A bill relating to the discharge of railway employes has been introduced in the Texas legislature, which pro vides as follows: "That when any employe is discharged with or with out cause, that tho wages of such em ploye shall bo paid so far as due on the day of discharge, without abatement or deduction, and If tho same bo not paid on such day, then, as a penalty for non-payment, tho wages shall con tinue at tho same rate until paid; pro vided, such wages shall not continue moro than CO days, unless an action thereforo shall bo commenced within that time. That when such employe secretes or absents himself or refuses to receive his pay ho shall not bo on titled to tho benefit of tno act. That any sorvant or employe engaged for a definite period of time who Is dis charged without cause before tho time expires may, in addition to the pen alties prescribed by this act, have an action for any damages ho may have sustained by Iho broach of tho con tract of employment, and such action may bo joined with an action for un paid wages and vqmiMch. Hallway Ago. A Knight of Labor writing to the New York Sun strikes the nail squarely on the head in the following: I "I agree With your correspondent , that labor unions are trust-like in rec ognizing as tho moro generally exe crated industrial combinations, better 1 "known as trusts, have long ago recog nized, tho fact that competition Instead of being tho life is really the death of trade, and they have evidenced that recognition by abolishing competition among tho!r members. A member of a labor union is taught that he must not deprive his moro fortunate follow t member of employment by offering his services for less than the wage scale 1 adopted at a meeting by a majority of j tho members; In other words, the or ganization will not tolerate competi tion among the members. Were this not the case Avorkmen would be con- tlnually In danger of being deprived I of work by other men offering to do the i same work for less wages than those j who aro fortunate enough to be em- ployed, as is now done by the unorgan I ized toilers. The above mentioned abolition of competition among organ i Ized workmen Is to my mind the only excuse tho enemies of labor organiza- tions have for calling tho organizations , trusts."
