INTEREST LAGG|NG
 IN BRICK STRIKE Critical Period in Its History Believed to Be Approaching BANQUET IS ENJOYABLE

 Interest in the strike of brick workers, which has been waged in Berlin for the past year, is tagging according to information received today from some of the strikers. A representative of the Herald" who has been among the strikers con- siderably and who has had occasion to size up the situation, attributes the waning interest to the fact that other affairs have become uppermost in the minds of the striking work men.
 Last year the strike was of pri- mary importance to the men. They were out Of jobs and, in many eases, out of funds. They were highly in terested and enthusiastic and were anxious to have their demands met. But the weeks have stretched into months and there has been no for ward movement in the direction Of a settlement.
 X large percentage of the strikers, discontented with being out of work, have secured positions in other branches of work, in New Britain and other towns and are now making good wages, it is said. It is thought that many of those who walked out last summer will never return to the brick making trade.
 It is probable, according to re- ports, that this summer will prove of the strike. Either a settlement will be reached, or the affair will die a natural death. That is the opinion of many of those out on strike, according to the reporter who has been Investigating condi- tions.
 And, meanwhile, the yards are manufacturing bricks. It is said that all yards are working and that production is being maintained as usual. Several of the yards are ir- stalling new equipment and the outlook is bright for the yard own CTS it is said.
 Banquet Proves Enjoyable
 The banquet held last night at the Rurritt hotel, New Britain. by the Kensington Bowling league proved 10 be the most successful party the organization has held to date. About 125 men gathered in the ballroom Of the hotel, where an attractive spread was served.
 The affair was a jolly one and progressed enjoyably under the leadership of Dr. Matthew II. Gris- wold, who proved to be an able postmaster. His remarks were well chosen and he introduced the speak CTS in a capable manner. Among the invited guests were James c. Hart, president of St. Paul's T. A. B. society; Arthur L. Moffatt, past president of the league and Arthur H. Bushnell, Each of these guests was called upon to make remarks. responding in an excellent manner. Team captains and winners of prizes also made remarks when called upon. Pasquale Giannotta, presi- dent of the league, opened the meet ing and introduced the toastmaster to the gathering.

GOLDEN v|STAS
AHEAD Of
BURNS
Victory in Scrap With
Manley Means Three
More Bouts.

If Chuck Burns of San Antonio
beats George Manley of Denver at
Wichita, Kan, Monday night, he will
tread golden path for a few weeks.
Don Curley, his manger, sent back
word Monday that victory for Burns
will mean a scrap with Everett Strong
at Omaha, an Eddie Welsh meeting ut
Kansas City and finally collision
with Harry Greb. the champion of the
middlcweights, at Wichita early next
month.
Curley says Burns has made fine
impression on the Wichita fans, send
ing clippings to prove the statement.
In a workout, Burns knocked a 200
FOUNDER named Brooks to his knees
and the ringworms went wild with en-
thusiasm.
The American Legion is promoting
the bout and expects a $1,000 house,
which would mean $500 for Burns.
