Ask the Manufacturers Sign.
The brlckmakers met ct their hall, ut tho
corner of Laurel and Prospects streets, last
night, to formulate scale of wages, which
the manufacturers will be asked to sign.
The men say they only want justice. and
have made sliding scale. to be regulated
according to the price of bricks. which, the
manufacturers say, is the cause of the re-
cent cut in wages. The grievance commit
tee of the Central Labor Union met with
the brickmakers last night and q commit.
tee was appointed to wait upon the manu-.
faoturers to-day and present the demands
OF the men.
Anderson Kincsid presented a scale of
wages based upon the selling price of
bricks. which received the Endorsement of
a majority OF the members of the union.
Kincaid's scale was as follows Bricks
per day FOR molder with cribbsr. and
S2.G2 for molder without cribber; bricks
selling at IS to 81 per Thousand. 2l.15 Der
day tor molder with eribber and Us for
molder without lbbsr: bricka selling at
"a per thousand. S1.15 per day for moldsr
with eribber and 81. 40 per day for molder
without cribber This scale il made upon
the basis ot 1850 to 5000 bricks for q days
work.
After much discussion the union de.
cilned TO accept this scale. and another
meeting will be held to-day in the effort to
agree upon one.

There are about seventy five men at work
there, the larger part of VIII I'm are union
men. but thefe are also working on the
street few nonup!on men and number
of nonunion teams. To these latter the
union men object, and Will probably ask
for their dismissal IN the near future. The
men are working ten hours a day and are
being paid 81. IS for it, and il IL understood
that they Will ask for nine hours work
with the same pay. also. There is q general
feeling of dlscontsnt among the men on
this Job, and on many of the others in the
city, and the contractors are fearing that
il will lead TO moro trouble. The union
held q meeting. Monday night at which q
motion to strike at once was voted down,
but considerable feeling was display ed.
The men were working on all of the jobs
yesterday.
