 This statement was made today by Harry J. Battistoni, a contractor and secretary of the Contractors as sociation, whose meeting last night voted unanimously against fixing the scale at $12 s day
 Meanwhile, the bricllaycrs do not appear to be greatly disappointed at the second refusal of the contractors to pay the price they have set oil their hire, and Chairman Anthony $. Iaoncssa of the union said to- day that the men would be on the of their demand.
 We have received no information excepting what we have seen in the newspapers, and we arc not plan ming q meeting, as far as I know, , Mir. paonessa said. He remarked that few bricklayers are employed at present, therefore few are finan- Cially interested at the present timr About 35 contractors met last night at the Chamber of Commerce offices ill the Leonard building to consider the second demand for an . increase of $l a day made by the brick masons this year. They were speedy ill arriving at a unanimous verdict to refuse.

He explained that contractors { K the wages of the more productive I their employees at $12 or moro 5put do not intend to be bound by { my agreement that will rcquir2 them to pay more than $l 8 day to any workman whose production docs not warrant an increase in pay.

PUNCH and SKILL
PROMISED FANS

Followers OF boxing, who like to
see the boys mix UP plenty of sci

their wishes gratified by the 10
round scrap Friday night between
Jimmy Black and Benny Kid Car

these fighters can be taken as crit

Black is a hustling little colored
boy, who has been doing plenty of
damage among coast featherweights
in the past two years. He has II

and many local fans saw him break
Jackie Speneer's jaw with a hard
wallop here two years ago.
In Carter, however, Black will be
meeting a boy as tough as he is. and
good enough to be taken to Europe
after cleaning up most of the feath-
erweights in this country. Carter
is a Phoenix, Arizona, boy and will
be the only Arizona entry in the
featherweight elimination tourna.
ment which is being conducted at
the local boxing club to provide
champion for Southern California
and Arizona.
Young David, the Fresno Filipino
who pleased last weeks crowd with
a fine showing against Lorenzo
Reyes, which ended in a technical
kayo against the latter, will be in
a tougher spot this week. He is
booked for the six round semi-final
with Battling Chico, a hard hitting
Mexican boy who was formerly
kingpin of the featherweights in
Texas. None of the coast boys
seem to want Chieo's medicine.
The veteran Battling Doty should
show plenty of fight against Harry
Jennings in the six round special.
Doty still has few good bouts in
his system and hopes to get them
out in this community where he was
a tOpnotcher few years ago.
De La Fuente and Pilino Kiiatt
will tangle again in the opener, and
as usual, the boys can be depended
upon for real scrap.
Ladies will be admitted free Fri
day night, for the last time during
