Buildings, Eto.

CHICAGO, October q. There was some
talk yesterday aud the day before Of a
strike tor higher wages by bricklsyers,
but they finally concluded not to do so.
A strike among bricklsysrs would of
course suspend all work In the burnt dis
trict, except men cleaning sway the rub
bish, and would throw out Of employment
not only the brieklsyers themselves, but
the carpenters, stone-cutters, furniture
makers, gas-ftters, plumbers, iron work.
ers, etc. The price now paid for good
brick layers is 81 so per day, which is 81
per day more than they obtained previ-
Gus TO the FIRE. 1t Is the general impress
sion that at this price building will pre-
ceed steadily through the winter. There
are many masons, carpenters, etc., COM
ing to this city from other points, and es-
pecially from Canada, where wages are
low and business dull. ANY reasonable
number that come cannot fail to get all
the work they want through the winter
1t Is understood thst the proper govern
ment oetcials viii make recommendations
to Congress to provide literally for Chi
cago In the way of the erection Of public
buildings. The Ole customhouse and
pcstoflce combined in one building was
not sufficient in cspscity for the govern
ment business transacted there, and &c
has been suggested that the government

ask al the way. from 5000 TO 5000 per foot
front for their lots, which Is largely in
advance of the price asked previous TO

feel Obliged to pay these increased pricea,

down In their views, tho government
