BRICKMAKERS" COMBINE
AII. PORTIiAXD FIRMS FORMED XX-
to a crrr agency.
Rot a. 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.

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

names in court yesterday, and their de
posits of $1 each were declared forfeited:
CM. Campbell, W. W. Abbott, H. D. Madi

"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.

When arrested for ridlne bicycles on

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

"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
