Several of ' the men . temporarily ap pointed and acting- as drivers. Jailer, de tectives and captains have passed from ' one to Ave physical examinations and many of them are objecting to again go- : ing- through this test.

The examinations for the Police De . partment can not be held sooner than June 8 for two weeks' notice must be given after the time of the examination is decided on by the commission, ana the probable date will .be from three tdays to a week later.

Happily he had a time clause In the con tract, and when that expired Mr. Shap iro had it in his power to rn things the way that he desired. - He, therefore, took matters in his own hands, and from that day to this only" union labor has been permitted to perform any serv ice whatever upon the building. Today there are union carpenters, union paint ers', and uniorf plumbers putting on the finishing touches, and when the place iBjrthrown open to the public the eye will! feast upon a bdwer of beauty typt fylng the skill and genius of union labor, This building was 'begun, early in , the spring, and if the contractor had not stood out ' against the unions, would have been completed and occupied by this time. Mr. Shapiro expostulated first, without avail, then pleaded .that unioa laoor on employed, out was pow erlesH to command until the time clause In the contract became operative, where upon he made use of his authority and the battle for union principles, so far as he was concerned, was. won. It was struggle, but worth the effort it cost, and it is now surmised' that unionism will reciprocate, and that union men will see to it that their champion and friend is remembered for- his loyalty to union principles. Not ': in - sympathetic contributions, indeed, for 'Mr. Shapiro Is not In need of that, but when op porfcunity offers the men who have been the victors in this struggle foft union supremacy will doubtless see to It that tint opportunity Is Improved. It has cost Mr. Shapiro considerable more to carry on the work the way he has ddne. than If he had permitted the contrnctor to proceed until the structure should have been completed. And this might readily have been done had Tie tot been o much of a stickler for union ism, but he seems not to regret tha extra expense entailed, so long as ne won out against the non-union contractor. He is well satisfied. Indeed, . over the turn the affair 1ms taken, -but his experience this time is one he will not forget. The next contract of this character he lets will have In It a cast-iron clause that only union men shall be ernplojled. There will be po dodg&g that.- When Mr.retHmplro's place Is opened for- business, he will . : welcome his friends' and show them how beautiful union labor has made the interior of the bulldlne.
