XUSOBOE W. RtTABT. Town Clerk.President Swanstrom replied that he was sorry,
t>ut he never had the pleasure of Mr. Tilton's ac-QoaJataaoe.
Coroner Xllch.irl J. Flaherty si an acti\*e andardent labor ln.ui. He Is eeeretary of the Brock-lyn Central Labor T'nlon. IJe^ently he b*sa.n to
build a fine hous» In Ocean Park*-».y, near Bey-
Tloy Road. "IT Idon't put away some of mysalary in this way kow,~ he said. "Iwon't haveHtiy Ir-f: WSMSi my term of office expires.
"Ard
he was ripht. becjuse tl»o coroner"i> Kenerous Cis-pnsition has always prevented him from laying up
nior.cy. Niiw. us to the hoi:so; the coroner is ashappy over It as a child with a n^w toy. He Isnot a member of nr:y of the building; trades lilm-
scst but he has taker, tho diiijiritinterest in svery
IbsM of the new structure. WlMoevsr he c^.n p-t
an hour or f)off, be turns at once toward thoOcean Parkway.
That ai.v of th« workmen employed on the bofld-ing should not 1* members of the union crpar-«>Rtly never occurred to him. One day by chanceh« happened to ask one of the men. with whomJi« had talked on (several previous occasions, whatunion he l»elon^ed to. "Iam a non-union man.was the reply. The coroner was dumfo-jnded. H<»didn't Bay anything to the man. but quietly went
nround the buildinr makinic inquiries. Much tohis a*ton> and chagrin he found severalmen at work who confessed that thoy wer.- notrrerr.r^rs of any union. Inifl was a scandalouscondition of affairs, nnd It was not many hoursbefore the builder knew all about it. Wnen n«had tol>l the coroner that the non-union men hadbeen dlscharg-ed. that worthy official breathedeasily aeain. At first Flaherty thmight to KOl'"!>it all a profound ferret, but Iom he is tel'ing1 it toh;s friends as a cood joke on himself.
Some unusual and trying d»mari3s have been
made on Borough President Swanatrom. but he
has succeeded in pleasing almost everybody. He
has been unable however, to Btlatr the following
request, which was turned over to him by the Post-
