Trust, They Say, Irat Their Purpose Is to Maintain a Stated Price. This is an era of organization, and the hrlckmakers of Portland have fallen Into line for the purpose of "maintaining a stated price," as a member of the com bine said yesterday. Heretofore bricks have piled up in the manufacturer's hands every Summer In Portland, and as the poorer yards could not carry the stock over another year the product would be thrown upon the market at Azures which allowed no profits. Here after, the price will be uniform through out the year and will be held where a small margin can always be counted up on by the men who go to the trouble and expense of manufacture. There are five brlckmaklng firms in Portland, and all have entered the com bine Versteeg Brothers, Kern Brick Company, Krebs Brothers, Bandies & Kinney, and James Anderson. The com bination Is known in the simple title. "City Brick Agency," and as the yards are located in the outskirts of the city, economy in time and distance of hauling has been effected, as bricks will be fur nished by the nearest yard. Instead of helng hauled for miles from one suburb of Portland to another. "The price of brick now maintained by the combine is not exorbitant," said a manufacturer yesterday, "as we ask only ?7 BO per thousand, delivered. The In creased cost of fuel alone would Justify a still further advance, as we have to pay 50 cents&more per cord for the wood we burn4nfthe kilns. This is quite an additional Item of expense to the firm which burns from 1000 to 1500 cords In the "nrJckmaMng .season. "Wages for those employed in the yards and on the road run from $2 a day tor laborers to ISfiO for burners. We pay our off-bearers, setters, wheelers, truckers and clay-bank men more then we did a few jears ago, and so selling brick at an actuil loss every season would soon run een the strongest of us Into bankruptcy. The City Brick Agency was established to guard against bank ruptcy In Portland. It has no connection with any organisation hejond Its terri tory, and so cannot be called a trust. "Portland's brick making capacity Is 'about 120.000 a day for the season of 100 t days, and the number of men employed is about 160. As dry weather is necessary lor successful brick making our work is naturally limited to the late Spring and -early Summer months. Even when se lecting the dryest time of year for opera tions, we are frequently caught by heavy showers, while the brick ere supposed to be drying In the yards in the sun. On Sunday fully 50.000 bnck were spoiled by the showers which were not expected, and the mishap calls for extra labor and Jiurry the remainder of the week." Vitrified hrick. which Is used for street paving, has not been Included In the combine. These brick range In price about $16 a thousand, while the Newberg white brick run from $25 to H. These latter classes are known by the makers of common brick as "fancy brick" and me used only for special purposes. that they can have an opportunity to ex plain why they break the law. They have no right to assume that they will toe fined only fL So many bicyclists per sist in riding wheels on sidewalks that I may reverse the rule and fine them 510 for the first offense and ?1 for the second of fense." These 10 bicyclists failed to answer their names in court yesterday, and their de posits of $1 each were declared forfeited: CM. Campbell, W. W. Abbott, H. D. Madi son, William Groab, John Schldman, W. J. Blakely, E. J. Gordon, C. Deal, H. Senner, Fred Zan. Six bicyclists entered a plea of guilty and were fined $1 each: Frank Waller, George Sabels, F. 'Wetzler, E. R. Spencer, R. A. Christiansen, G. F. Bradshaw. "I rode only about half a block, when the policeman caught me. I have heard that policemen ride their bicycles on side walks; yet they are not arrested," pro- jested one bicyclist. "If you see any policeman riding a wheel on a sidewalk, take his number, and we will bring him Into court and fine him," replied the Judge. MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.

HEIER & FRANK COMPANY. IIIBIIIII91I m ijERTra m m $ CARPENTERS MAY STRIKE PREPARING .TO ASK MORS WAGES AND skoRTER HOURS. Mass Meeting: Called for the Purpose of Unionizing All Craftsmen In Portland. NEGRO BOY STOLE CHAMPAGNE Says He Wants to Work and Does Not Need Reformation. MJST APPEAR IN COURT. XW.&KC Cameron Increases the Ball of Sidewalk Bicyclists. When arrested for ridlne bicycles on fldevralks, bicyclists must aovr deposit $3 cash or their bicycles with the police to Insure their appearance In the Municipal Court. This decision was reached yester day by Municipal Judge Cameron. "Too many bicyclists leave $1 with the police when the arrest takes place, and do not appear In the Municipal Court when the case Is called," said the Judge. "We must hare the offenders In court, so Walter Taylor, colored, 13 years old. cried in the Municipal Court yesterday, when he was ordered sent to the reform school. He was accused of stealing bot tles of champagne from Rothchild Bros and selling them to George Phillips, who is in jail, charged with receiving stolen goods. I took the champagne," admitted Tay lor. "An older boy put me up to It." "How old Is he?" "About 39 years old, and his name Is Phillips. He gave me change off and on. No; I didn't drink any of the champagne." 'Tn afraid we shall have to send you to the reform school," hinted Municipal Judge Cameron. "I won't go. I don't want to be re formed. I want to go to work," lsald the boy. "You can work at the reform school," replied the Judge. "Yes, but I want to work for money." "Vera sorry, but you'll have to- go to the reform school," said the Judge. "Boo-hoo-oo," said the boy. The Carpenters' Union Is making an ef fort to draw all the skilled carpenters In Portland Into its fold, and to that end a mass meeting has been called for tomor row evening at the Eagles' Hall. Several union carpenters, who were questipned yesterday, said the organization has thus far been too weak In Portland to raise the scale of wages. "About one-third of the carpenters of the city have joined the union," said one, "and this is not a sufficient .proportion to enable us to make the proper demand. We desire to make eight hours a day's work, and ?3 a day the basis of wages. Skilled carpenters are now paid from $2 50 to ?3 per day, but the smaller figure will not enable men to support their families properly, let alone save anything for a rainy day. Rents have gone up, provi sions cost a good deal more, and the price of clothing has also advanced within the past two years. Wages, the last thing to respond to prosperous times, will not ad vance unless the carpenters organize and let the contractors know what they want. "To De a skilled carpenter means a serv ing of three years as apprentice, and yet men are working on the streets as laborers who make more money than skilled carpenters are now doing. Our work is not steady; we lose a great deal of time between jobs, while In the rainy season we can hardly work at all. Union men have to stand a rigid examination as to their ability before they are admit ted into the union, and we desire to pro-' tect the employers hy injsunng jtnem good men, worth the wages. we ask. At present there Is plenty of work, and there Is no excuse for a carpenter throwing away his time on Hlaid jobs. The pros pects are thatha.deand for carpenters will increase Bere,forVthe Summer, ,and so carpenters should mike hay while the sun shines. OrganlzatfonMs of little use In bad times, as "'necessity compels men to work for what they can get. Now Is the. proper time to form a union and to stand by its principles, when we can at tain our ends by doing so. ' "The wild-cat contractor will disappear before the thorough unionizing of carpen ters, and builders will not figure on new work unless they are sure of a margin. This will do away with the present 'meth od of taking contracts at a dead loss, which always falls Anally on the owner of the property. The men who employ the best carpenters and pay the highest wages are now the only ones to depend on in letting a job; and these men never loSe on p. contract. "The remodeling of the Alblna grist mill is going to take 40 'skilled carpen ters all Summer. At present there are not that many Idle carpenters in Port land. Besides, other new work is spring ing up to employ every carpenter in the city." Another union carpenter said: "The object of the mass meeting Wednesday evening is to join hands with the Fed erated Trades Assembly and thus strengthen -our organization for the de mands we propose to make." FOR THE PURPLE SHOW. Members of vthe Local Elks' JLodge Will Tfake Part. 0 If all the features 'proposed by the Elks' committee are carried out, the cir cus which will be given Friday and Sat urday, June 7 and 8, In conjunction with the Norrls & Howe Company, will be a "purple show" of large proportions. A committee meeting was held yesterday in the ofllco of Judge Sweek, the chairman, and the various members reported nat tering progress. It Is proposed to In cludcua number of turns by local perform ers, as well as have prominent Elks act! as clowns, ringmasters and peanut butchers. They will look after all the concessions, and on the two nights de voted to the Elks the circus will have a decidedly "t Jocal flavor. The Hunt Club wllKbe asked to join In the sport, and Portland athletes will show the ieo. pie whaf they know of tumbling and Jumping. Special attention -will he given to the parade, and the committee will recommend that the local lodge of Elks turn out in full force Friday morning. Captain Charles E. McDonell, of the amusement committee, reported that he had conferred wltib. the Multnomah Club and that a juggler, two tumblers and a horizontal bar performer will offer their services. F. T. Merrill, also on this com mittee, reported that he will get a tum bler who can do the double somersault. Another idea suggested by Mr. Merrill is meeting with great' favor. I is to have a number of vatmeros glve an exhibi tion of riding, to close with the chase for a wife, in which e. number of them pur sue a maiden around the ring, the race to end when the maiden Is lifted from her horse by one of the other riders. For the equestrian features, Dr. -Whiting stated that he has been assured of assistance, butjias not made complete ar. rangements. The idea of the committee is to have a. grand entry of riders, eight for each rln&. There was a general dis cussion of the part the Elks should play and it was the opinion of the committee that well known members should be in duced to act as ringmasters, to sell pea nuts, candy, lemonade and other refresh ments, and to put themselves generally in evidence. This will undoubtedly be done, as the lodge Is well supplied with versatile members who are capable of filling the bill. "There's a purple show coming" will be the slogan of the circus. The sug gestion came from Paul R. Kelty, of the advertising committee, and was adojjteo Buttons will be out In a few days with the same inscription and they will be worn by members and friends of the or der, In order to give the circus wide spread notice. For the parade Friday morning, the Elks will be asked to turn out in a body, and besides the two bonds of the dog show, the Elks will have one of their own under the direction of C. I. Brown. Some of the side show attractions will be exhibited along fhe line of march and everything will be done to give the peo ple a taste of what they may expect at the circus. Further reports are necessary from the .various sub-committees and to receive them a meeting will be. held tomorrow evening at 7.30 o'clock at Elks' HalL LOW EXCURSION RATES.
