Front avenue, near Post street,
gave out his statement to The
Press this morning:
MY men were willing to join the
union," he said, "but / refuse to
be dictated to as to how the work
that | have undertaken should be
done The union would have the
work run in place, but my contract
calls for the staff work to be stuck,
instead, and the local men in the
Spokane plaNerers union are in
competent to execute the artistic
staff work. This is not a matter
between the union and myself, but
between myself and the architect.

pointing to Tony E. Milani, lis my
foreman. This is the man who had
charge of the statuary and decora-
