The convention of the brick man
ufacturers' association lasted three
days. The Chicago manufacturers
had planned to gain control of the
organization and make Chicago the
permanent headquarters. There was
q lively fight over this plan, the .op-
position being led by Mr.. Bloomfield.
The test came over the election of
officers, as the executive committee
has the selection .of.the annual con-

complete the election. The result
was as follows: President, Charles

president, w. I'll. III. Rodgers, Ro-
chester, ~ r; secretary, Theodore
A. Randall. indianapolis, Ind.
treasurer, John w. SibIey, Birming-
ham, Ala.
The National Brick Manufacture
ers' Association has been in exist
ence over thirty years. Itis a pow
erful organization embracing all
kinds of burnt clay manufacturers.
Mr.. Bloomfield will devote much of
his time to the association during
the coming year.
The exhibit OF burnt clay prod
ucts WAS the first of its kind ever
cum and showed everything that
can be made of burnt clay products.
One OF the features WIS q complete

lar ready for a person to move in.
1t was erected inside the Coliseum
and was finished In four days, mas
ons being employed In three shifts
of eight hours each. The walls Of
the bungalow We're of red brick and
the roof OF green tile, making a
handsome structure.

president; the Roessler e Hasslach-
err Chemical Company, showing their
coIorfng products for use in pottery,
