What a Mad Scotchman H<js Done. ■
Charlotte Observer.
What, next! Here somes The Na-i
tion’s Business with a story that is cal j
dilated to revive discussion of the brick
layer’s union, for it lias to do* with “a
non-union” bricklayer. The story is to
the effect that a mechanical bricklayer
has been invented by a Scotchman. Very
probably the device sprang full-grown
from the heat of, his indignation over
the performance of the everyday sort of j
bricklayer. With a mortar tank, a j
hopper of brick, and a motor, the new !
machine is said to lay its course of brick, I
come back, break joints, and even skip |
the openings. The things even "fops” |
each brick to settle it in the mortar.
