LARGE INCREASE IN
THE POLICE FORCE
City Council Indorses the Plan
for Putting the Policemen on
an Eight-Hou Schedule.

City Council, last night, after con-
sidcring a petition in committee OF the
whole, adopted resolution authorizing
The Board of Police Commissioners to IN
crease the police force by employing one
additional captain of police, one addition.
nj captain of detectives, three additional
sergeants Of police, 32 additional patrol
men, three additional detectives, one adj
dtional lineman and one additional
matron, which will enable the board to
put the force on an cight-hour schedule.
Councilman Forwood, chairman OF the
finance committee, expressed the opinion
that the police appropriation would be
sufficient for increasing the force and
stated that if the sum appropriated were
insufficient other financial provision would
be made. Mr.. Forwood said, and Council
man Johnson concurred in the statement,
that practically the same agreement was
made with the board when the finance
committee prepared Councils budget for
the next fiscal year. They were surprised
that the board did not start to increase
the force then.
Councilman Mearns remarked that the
petition presented last night was the hrst
formal request for permission to increase
the force.

ters OF the building business. He has a
big plant at Hamilton avenue and Fiji
teenth street, Brooklyn.
- In the routine of his trade he applied
for a job with the National Park Real
Estate Corporation which was getting
ready to put up'a million dollar building.
In June last he signed a contract for
wrecking work. Here is what happened.
as WALES tells IL:
II received a letter from George II.
Pigueron. president Of the National Park
company. saying that our negotiations
regarding wrecking of buildings at Front
and Water streets were at an end, as the
understanding was that my company
was affiliated with the labor union con-
trolling all buildings operations and
saying we could not be employed or q
new building could not be erected.
Il showed that we were in the union
and regular. i was told by the Park
company that would have to fix things
up with Brindell before could go on.
I was told that Brindell had served no
tice that II the company continued to
employ my men he would not permit the
erection of a new building, so the COM
pany asked he to quit work and see II
we could not straighten things out with
Brindell. My watchmen were with
drawn and the Job was given to the
Globe Construction Company.
"Brindell sent word to me that
would have to sign up with him and
employ only his men as house wreckers
I had a job with the John T. Brady
Company. in West Forty-third street
on a new theatre. When the work
was half finished, word was sent to

the president OF the company, John
Dordan, that he would have to put our
mon off, or Brindell would call strike
on all of Brady's jobs in the city.
Dordan suggested that 7 try to patch
things UP with Brindell.
Three men, named Peter Stadmul-
Ter. Moran and Cunningham, came to
me representing Brindell and asked me
If didn't know 7 was licked, and
whether ] wanted to quit. 1 said I

situation when the Lockwood committee
was named a few weeks ago.
After the committee had taken testi-
mony for two days the situation is said
TO have undergone a decided change.
Unions began calling on their delegates
TO inquire about the big sums Of money
which. according to witnesses, had gone
to some one on the jobs where their men
were working. Now the 1877 delegates
are on the defensive. All the unions are
asking questions.
In the face Of those annoying queries

Is said to have sent out the promise of
a Wholesale wage boost with the begin
ming OF the new year II the men would

against Brlndell in the union of long
shoremen is said to have been spoken
last Monday. One OF the delegates spoke
about Brindell's life contract with that
union, by which he received fifty cents a
month from each of its 5000 members.
This delegate Is reported to have said
that "a life contract might not prove to
be such a good thing because no one was
sure of living very long" What was
meant Is not explained.
