Big Fight Brewing for the Convention of
Bricklayers in San Francisco.

The question OF the installation of hreproohng
brlck, which. IL learned yesterday, may cause
split in the executive board of the New York
Brcklayers' Union. will be the main order of busi-
ness at tho annual convention Of the Bricklayers
and Masons' International Union which begins in
San Francisco to-day. AS it affects the Mason
Builders Association. the members Of that body
are looking forward anxiously the bricklayers
To the convention.
international President Bowen's report deals at
great length with the agitation this subject and
shows dissensiOn in the ranks of the New York
executive board over the hreproodng question.
1t is the intention of President Bowen to force on
the New-York unions compliance with the lreproof-
ing resolution passed at the convention in Trenton
The Trenton resolution provides that any person,
hrin or corporation install the material pro
vided union wages paid and union conditions
are observed The resolution was introduced at the
request Of a hollow tile brick hreprooing company
which wants TO become a sub-contractor for in
stallng the material and the report contains copies
OF number Of protests from the company to the
general executive board against the New York
unions for preventing 1t from getting a footing
here Bowen stands up for the resolution and gives

ton. No attention appears to have been paid to

IN the replies of the New-York executive COM

here the frepToOfiug company at whose request the
Trenton resolution was passed would make il =
specially and send special force of men every
contract, thus shutting thousands of brick
layers. President Bowen meets this by saying that
concrete is being used in many cases for reprOof-
ing instead Of hollow tile brick because IL is
cheaper.
Some of the meetings in this city which Bowen
attended appear 10 have been exciting. He de-

After the Wanderers had gone through last season
without losing a game and gaining the champion

Club OF New-York at st. Nicholas Rink on Tuesday
evening must have come rather hard 1t was the
second game for the Wanderers IN the Amateur
Hockey League season. The hockey club outplayed
the champions in all departments of the game and
left not the slightest chance for the Wanderers to
make excuses after the game. The Wanderers
team work is stil poor and their defence is weak.
The only man on the defence doing quick work
seemed TO be Carruthers. The close checking OF
the hockey club. however, probably spoiled the
Wanderers chances for concerted action. The
hockey club played a fine game from the start. and
the result of the contest was early removed from
doubt. Their team work was good and the defence
strong. The seven proved themselves to be strong
possibility for the championship this season. The
scufIle between Clarke and Phillips in the game was
the worst ever seen at the rink. Phillips had a
