National Builders.

The Builders and Traders exchange of
this city has selected Richard Smith,
Jacob j. Jobst :and Alex Shul as
delegates to the fifth annual conven-
tion of the National Association OF
Builders that convenes in New YORK on Feb
ruary for six days session.
The convention will in many respects be
one of the most notable of the kind ever held
in the east.
One of the special features Of this conven-
tion will be an inspection and study Of the
trade schools established by Colonel Auch-
muty of New York, which offer the finest ex-
ample Of what has been and can be done by
individual philanthropy and effort in the
preparation of the youth of the country for
actual work as journeymen in the various
trades In addition TO this the committee
felt that it was equally desirable to offer to
all delegates an ocular demonstration Of the
possibilities for work in this same direction
by exchanges of builders, and in connection
herewith an object lesson of other possibli-
ties for good work by such exchanges in the
way Of building exhibit, and buildings
owned by exchanges and devoted eX-
clusively TO the interests of the build
ing fraternity, which demonstration and
object lesson could be obtained by in
spection and study of the property Of

They Talked of Paving Brick.

The National convention of brckmakers,
held in Indianapolis, Ind, has closed and
most of the delegates have returned to their
homes, though Richard Smith, who ably
represented Omaha and her indus tries is
still absent, having gone on TO New York
city, where he will remain a couple of weeks.
The convention was an interesting one and
was attended by 9!5 delegates, nearly every
state In the union being represented.
During the last day Of the convention,
much time was given TO the discussion of
paving brick and brick pavements
Mr.. j. c. Shea of Decatur ILL.,, was the
first speaker He was not only a brickmaker,
but contractor and had enjoyed an extended
experience In this line. Brick pavement, ne
knew, gave better satisfaction, where it had
been tried, than any other material. He dis
cussed the various sizes of paving bricks, the
economic virtues of various cays, the proper
manner of laying brick paving, etc,
Mr.. Beattie OF Atchison, kaS., next spoke
He considered the poorest brick pavement
better than the best wood. In his state sta
tistics showed this 10 be the fact. In Omaha
only vitritied brick pavement would now be
accepted. He mad laid several miles of brick
pavement in Atchison and l. had given the
best of satisfaction and had outworn all 9TH
er forms of pavement.
MIR. Anthony lttncr Of st. Louis said he be-
lieved In brick pavement and thought it
would soon supplant granite, though that
largely Ccpenucu upon the Orlck makers, III
they made good brick IL would be used. He
wanted to see brick take the place of all 9TH
er pavemcnts
MIR burlington cited an instance in Chicago
where paving brick had outlasted all other
pavements and gave it as his opinion that this
-<Material would soon supersede granite for
paving
Mr.. Galloway called attention to the impor-
tant test of paving brick regarding its imper-
viousness to moisture,
Mr.. Grummond put in a strong claim fol
ury-press paving brick.

OFFICERS OF THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Omaha at the BriCkmakers' and Ma
. tional Ruiidcrs' Conventions -
What Laborers Are Doing
Here and Elsewhere.

The South Omaha BARRIERS have taken
steps looking towards the organization of a
union. Thursday night they held rousing
meeting which was addressed by w. B..
Musser, William Sebriug and others of
Omaha, who advocated the action proposed
by the South Omaha men. After the ad-
dresses 1t was decided to send delegates to
the Central Labor union to ask for admis-
sion.
In the matter of organization the BARRIERS Of
South Omaha are far ahead of their brothers
In this city. Two years ago the Omaha bar
bcrs had one Of the strongest unions in the
city, but factonal feeling worked its way
into the ranks and the organization prac-
tically went to pieces. A reorganization was
affected and for time harmony prevailed,
but it was only for short time. The Sunday
closing order was adopted by number OF
the large shops, but as the smaller shops
would not fall into line the union split upon
this rock, since which time Omaha has been
without a BARRIERS union that has been
worthy of the name.
