TT Is true that experience
abroad with government-owned

is no reason why this should be.
The telephone 10 used three
times as much in New York as in

Ready For Eiuht.

The brick manufacturers of the state
are getting ready to wage war on the
board of administration and the en-
ployment of prisoners at the leased
brick plant near Junction City. In factI
this war has already been started by
the request from one manufacturer,
for a ruling by the attorney, general
as to whether the board has the right
to sell the paving block which are be-
ing made by the prisoners at Junction
City. The attorney general declared
that contractors could not purchase
the brick, and it looked for a time as
though 100000 of them already deliv-
cred and scattered along newly built
roadway in Perry county would have
to be gathered up and returned to the
plant. But part of them were used
when the opinion was rendered, and
as no court decision had been made in.
the matter, these brick were all used.
Now, however, the brick men declare
that they will prevent the further sale
of prison-made brick to any municipal
ity a. contractor.
