A Kensington man who claims to be we'll informed on the brick situation declares that fully 200 brick makers left Kensing- ton when the manufacturers failed to agree to their terms. Among these, it is said were the most experienced men. They had no trouble in ob- taining work at advanced prices and immediately left town. As 8 result it is declared brick production has fallen far below normal tim es A number of yards which are not at present in position to operate ma- force together on repair work and odd jobs about the yards.
