From a Stan Correspondent
LINCOLN, Nov. 10.-(Special)- "A rumor
Is current in Lincoln that a gigantic trust
or corporation has been formed which has
for it's object the control Of the brick yards
Of the entire west II is understood that
large eastern interests are in the move
ment together with the brick manufacture
ers Of Omaha and probably Of Lincoln. 1t
Is known to be a fact that many brick
yards in Nebraska which are backed by
small capital and which have a small out
put have recently been bought and in some
instances options have been taken on the
yards TO hold good until the first Of the
year. One brick yard has closed down, sold
its output and IL now waiting to be trans
ferred to the new company.
Who is in the company and who is flnan-
cling II cannot be learned here at this time
and neither can It be learned here who is
making the deals for the yards. IL is said
by one who has been looking into the mat
ter that the organization has been quietly
at work for some time, but so far he had
been unable to get line on the personnel
of the company. 1t is his Arm belief, how
ever, that movement is on foot to buy up
every brick yard in the west in order to
control the output and the price Of brick.
Whether IT is the intention OF the company
20 shut down some Of the yards or to run
them as though owned by individuals he
could not say at this time. He was certain,
however. that some Omaha parties are in
terested in the deal.
