BRICK iNDUSiKY
 HEADING FAST
 TOWARD BREAKERS

Aftcr sailing fairly smooth seas since the beginning of the year. the brick industry is now heading into breakers. This is common with the experience of all industries due to the coal and railroad situation. The coal strike was so we'll advertised in ad- vance that its actual occurrence found -he brick men we'll stocked with fuel It was believed that the supply would outlast the strike, but the current months report indicate that in many sections the manufacturers are at the end of their supply. With production cestricted for lack of fuel and manu :'acturing costs greatly increased on account of advance in prices of coal, still brick prices show practically no change during the past month.
 Big brick producers in Ohio that have contracts with the mines at s3.5o per ton, which means about $500 10 S5.25, delivered at the plant, are un- able to get sufficient coal upon their contracts. When they go into the To- cal market to buy they are forced s1o.oo to s1o.5o delivered at their plants This makes a difference in Ehe actual cost of manufacturing brick Of from s2.5o to s4.o0 per thousand. according to processes used. This sit uation Is typical in many states.
 While several manufacturers report restriction of production and increas- ed cost due to the coal situation, only one plant is actually closed down for lack of fuel. The plant is located in

 Cigarettes are not only more fash ionable, but they are becoming cheap CT. Perhaps this explains their in creased popularity said Med. Cigarettes are now the cheapest in five years. Leading manufacturers selves that has lowered prices to very attractive levels.

Labor is commanding and receiving a pay far above union scales. There is a common report that the efficiency of skilled labor Is not as high as t was earlier in the season. The mar ket for building has by no means been satisfied and if both material and la bcr keep their feet on the ground and will be reasonable. there is every in- dication that building will not only continue but will increase in volume. Fer the first time in more than a year brick manufactursrs are report ing a shortage of skilled labor.

FIRST SHIPMENT OF ORE FROM MINE

 Operation of the Ford mine. near here is as similar to the other indus tries carried on by the manufacturers as is permissible. Working conditions for the men are revolutionary, mining men say. When the workers come out of the mine they remove their work ing clothes, stand under warm shower baths don street clothing, and then go to their homes.
