No Dispute About Wages, but Insist
Upon Right to Regulate EN-
ployers' Business.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Tribune
says:
The brickmakers Of Cook county,
constituting one Of the strongest labor
organizations in the West, stand ready
to go on strike Whether they will
or not will be determined by the action
to be taken by the executive board
Of the Illinois Brick Company today.
If the company refuses to grant the
request Of the board Of business agents
from the building trades council to
make no discrimination In the sale Of
material. every one OF the thirty-six
brickyards in the county will be tied
up inside Of twenty-fOur hours.
It is claimed by members Of the Illi-
nols Brick Company that there has
been no discrimination in the sale of
material since the formation Of the
company on April 2.
There is possibility that the meet
ing of the executive board will exercise
an important influence upon the gem
eral labor situation. The request of
the bricklayers' and stone masons'
that the manufacturers and dealers in
building material assist in arranging
conference between the master ma
sons and bricklayers viii come up and
favorable action by the company may
lead to developments that will 90 far
towards settling the whole trouble.

higher, Corn closed firm and 1sc up,
and oats steady and only slightly
changed from yesterday.
Wheat opened easy on the lower ca
bles and the increased Argentine ship
ments. The first hour the tone was
heavy and trading dull, prices receding
n bit from first figures. At the decline
the cash demand showed up In en-
conrarIng form; chinch bugs were re-
norted from Tennessee and Texas and
consideration was given the liberal size
OF clearances, both weekly and for
to-day. Under the impulse derived from
these considerations, the market rallied
and the close was firm. The demand
for May placed that option ut INC dis
count under July. Senboard clearances
for the day were equal In wheat ana
-four to S75,OO0 bushels, and the weekly
clearances from both COASTS were A.
