THEATRICAL, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL
NOTES OF INTEREST.

The lockout Of the brick manufacturers and the con-

amount OF suffering upon -workmen ana teir iaini
lies, who dependent upon the building TRACES lor
living Bricks we're being drawn yesterday from sup
plies forwarded before the lockout went into operation

mature.
