The Brick Question Again.

To the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
The statement made against the committee Of
the Federation of Labor on bricks is not reliable
In the first place. the Brickmakers' Assembly ia
not part Of the Federation, as stated. The
Federation Of Labor Is not small organization.
We have many inventions of machinery among
our branches-it Is the machinery of the law we
oppose, and not the machinery for making
bricks, as stated. The committee on
bricks called on the inspector Of build
lngs, and were not shown any OF those
bricks which The EVENING STAR stated were
the qualified size to answer the purpose at the
present time. The committee carried samples
from different yards TO the Commissioners. who
measured them, and found very large differ
ence. Those SAMPLES were left In the Commits
sloners Office, and when the committee called
for them they were told that they were mislaid
or lost, but il any one is Interested enough in
the size OF bricks he call at No $50 9th street
northwest, TO the chairman Of the committee
and see for himself the difference. and il not to
the mentioned place, in passing the new pension
building. just take a few bricks and measure them,
If permitted by the superintendent of the build
ing. Another thing, as far the statement in
regard to the shrinkage OF clay is concerned. II
man Is professional and a mechanic at the
branch OF his business, he can make his material
to suit any size he wants. We do not want to
advance the price in brick. a. stated. but the
brick merchant has raised Seyenty-ive cents
per thousand in tine last month bat they have
made no increase in the price OF labor We also
inform the public that invest their money in
building, of the large profit which the brick mer-
chants makes. In the yard where bricks are
made without machines the brick merchants
make net profit of s5. Sc per day and in the ward
where the bricks are made by machines the net
profit is S7S.42 per day. The Washington ma
chine company make $4,000 bricks per day, and
since the raise of seventy-fiye cents on the
thousand 1t increases their profit to $50 profit
per DAY extra to the above amount, and we
think, as workmen and citizens of the District
that the brick merchants ought to be the last
ones to cry labor is too high.

Warrington and Georgetown Harbor
To be Opened During the w inter.


To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
would respectfully call your attention TO the
prospective improvements of the harbor Of
Washington city and Georgetown. A bin was
introduced in the House few days since 10y the
Hon. John S. Barbour (and referred to the river
ana narbor committee) to build breakWater at
or near Cockpit point, on the Potomac river,
about thirty miles south OF this city. There Is
also movement being made TO build first
class ice boat, tor the purpose of cutting canal
through the ice during the ice embargo; to tow
all vessels that seek protection in the break
water, and take them up TO the city and back
to open navigation. BY this means there will
be no stoppage of the trade. and an immense
saving OF time and money to the merchants and
vessel owners and citizens generally. as well as
to the U. 5. government, by having an open
harbor all the year round, which will prevent
the spectators from imposing upon the neces-
stiles Of our people during the winter months
by their high prices. The building of this break
water is a necessity that has long been felt
1t ought to have been built long ago
as a large amount Of valuable property has been
lost, as we'll as many valuable lives for want OF
it, as there is no safe harbor or anchorage from
the capes Of Virginia to the city of Washington,
where q vessel can remain in safety durjnr the
period when those immense fields of ice break
and come down the river. backed by that ire
mendous force Of water descending from the
Blue Ridge mountains and forcing its way to
the ocean. As the United States navy as well
as the commercial marine interest of the north
aud east is yearly increasing. and the harbor of
washington Is daily growing in Importance. IL
becomes the duty OF the government to provide
safe and commodious shelter on the Potomac
river. where the government. as well DIS private
vessels, can seek safety from destruction. II the
Secretary or the Navy wolld give this matter
his attention and interview the officers and
pilots OF the U. s. navy / feel assured that he
would without hesitation recommend the con-
struction of the breakwater at orce as q protec-
ton to government vessels passing from the seat
Of government to the Atlantic ocean.
