A GIGANTIC PAVING TRUST
ITS OBJECT To CONTROL THE OUT
PUT IN THE UNITED STATES.


Chicago. Jan. 1.-The gigantic paving
brick trust. which seeks to control all the
paving brick made in the United States.
will be organized In New York about
Jan. T.
The meeting Of the manufacturer and
promoters OF the trust wiz. be held In the
metropolis the first week In next month.
and as all the details have been worked
out. Is Is expected that the organization
will come into existence at this meet
ing.
II is likely that ID. v. Purinton of this
city. president of the big brick company
which operates at Galesburg. ILL.,, will be
the president of the trust. He has been
one of the chief promoters, and IL an ar
dent believer I'm the feasibility of the pro-
ject. and believes that to maintain the
paving block industry In America on a
successful basis and compete with as
phalt and other paving material "A close
organization must be formed.
The trust will likely be Incorporated un-
der the avs OF New Jersey for something
like $40. 900. 600. The options on all the paw
ing brick manufactures have been signed
and are now In the possession OF y. q.
Kipp OF Massillon. who Is cooperating
with Mr.. Purinton In the cosummation
Of the project.
There will be no curtallment of the out
put of any factory. Tn consumption Of
paving blocks In America Is so great that
nearly every factory In the country Is
being operated to the limit, and In many
instances the output has been sold for
months ahead. The price OF paving blocks
In some instances has been less than "a
per thousand. when to pay the employees

blocks must be sold. II In said. at not less
than $40 per thousand. and IL Is expected
that In the new method of doing business
the price of brick will be advanced to the
iast-named figure.
An Important feature OF this organiza-
! ton will be that which has reference to
contracting. There viii not be the COM
petition that has characterized the busi-
ness heretofore. but In one section OF the
country certain contractors will have the
work lone and thus prevent competition.
The combine will include some OF the
largest contractors In the United states.
among them being John Mack of Phila-
delphia, millionaire owner Of many brick
plants and a contractor on n very ex-
tensive scals. +. !. Kip Is also a con-
tractor and IL well known all over the
country. J. e. Bolen OF GAINESVILLE. Ohio,
ls an extensive contractor. as Is also the
Townsend company. which II one OF the
largest contracting firm in the United
States and has lone public work all over
the country.
II Is stated by those on the inside that
the headquarters OF the VIII
be in Chicago. where Mr.. Purinton re-
sides and has the headquarters OF MS
extensive business. and Il Is also stated
that while many Eastern people are inter
ested In the project. Chicago capital will
figure largely In the deal. The options on
the brick plants In the United states ex-
pIre In June. but Il Is stated that mt the
meeting 10 be held In New York next

A SOCIALIST IS MAYOR

Tenets of His ISM"
HE HAS SEVERAL SCHEMES

Potato Patch for All
Who Ask for It

Haverhill. Mass, Jar. 2.-John c.
Chase, elected OF a socialists plat
form. took the oath OF Office OF mayor
speech Mr.. Chase assured the men,
bers OF the city council and the people
that every power possessed by the
mayor would be used in the defense
and support of the principles of social
ism in so far as they may be applicable
to a municipality"
The mayor then referred to h de-
STABILITY OF preserving equal rights.
upon which "the liberty and happiness
OF every man, woman child are
conditioned. and asserted that these are
possible OF attainment only through
the establishment of the cooperative
commonwealth" Continuing. Mr..
Chase said:
Il believe that every power the mu-
nicipality possesses should be placed at
the disposal of the people in the interest
of civilization. With that aim in View
l submit the following specific recon-
mendations:
First, the passage of an order estao-
fishing the minimum wage for street
employees at 81 for eight hours work.
Second, union wages N conditions
to prevail in all brick and stonemasons'
work performed under the direction of
the street department.
Third. all city printing to bear the
Mo- label" .
The mayor then took up the subject
of the unemployed. which. he said, had
developed from the displacement of la
Dor by machinery and the concentration
OF capital, and a question which m
municipality could solve, as II a he
come a national and International one.
Yet" he said. some little relief at
least can be afforded by this city "
eminent. / therefore recommend:
First. that you proceed to secure a
tract OF land suitable for the raising OF
ood products. and that such of the
unemployed as desire may be permitted
to use this land. the city to furnish
proper seeds and tools.
Second, the enlargement OF the fuel
yard at the city farm to such propo
tons as will permit all who desire to
earn by their b such fuel as they
may require.
Third, the appropriation of such an
amour of money as circumstances may
warrant in providing employment
directly upon public works, not in COM
petition with the regular employees of
the city. but upon special works, two
kinds of which / herewith suggest:
First. improvement OF the park system;
second, construction Of a system OF
bicycle paths through all the principal
thoroughfares."
Mayor Chase condemned the system
OF contracting with the lowest bidder
for city work and said the system
should not be tolerated. He said:
Low bids mean cheap work: cheap
work means cheap men and low wages
and low wages lower the standard OF
citizenship. The city should perform
it's own work and furnish Its own ma
terial. giving employment to its citi-
zens." The mayo advocated increased
appropriations for educational purposes
and municipal ownership of the electric
lighting plants and street railways"

Twenty Fast sud Hard Rounds Fought
By zeigler and Owens.
New York. Ian. 2-The Greenwood Ath-
which began at . o'clock this afternoon.
and the house was uncomfortab,y crowd
ed The star event was a 20-round bout
at catchweights between Owen Zeigier
and Matty Matthews of this city. both
welterweights with good records. They
fought the 20 round hard and fast. each
displaying a great deal OF science and
judgment. Neither let his opponent have
an idle moment. and before five rounds
had been gone through each a face
was well marked.
For Is rounds Matthews had a slight
lead and. although Zeigier did most of the
leading. Matthews counters on the wind
were effective. Zeigler got some heavy
jolts on the other mans face and swung
both hands to the head. stopping Mat
thews. Matthews. however. always had
a left uppercut or a swing ready when
Zeigler came within his reach and the
latter must have been in grand shape to
Withstand such hard punches In the stom-
ach.
Toward the close OF the fight Zeigler
was the stronger. but once. In the nth
round. Matthews caught him with a left
nook OF the jaw which forced the Phila-
delphian to his knees. Zeigler was very
strong in the last round, but Sam Aus
tin, the referee. could not decide that
either man was q winner and declared
the bout a draw. The decision was a
popular one.
