Brickmasons Talk Of Strike

Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 4. - The stone and brickmasons of this city will decide to-day whether or not there will be a strike, and the chances seem to be much in favor of an armistice until spring. A large number of the members of the union are at present receiving 40 cents an hour, which is the scale, while others are working for 25 cents an hour. The 40-cent men have no ; case to strike, and the contractors who are paying 25 cents claim their contracts were made when that was the scale.
