Without a dlssenting v.alce tbe Central Labor Union,
at iu wdl-aUended meeting ln Clarendon Hall yester?
day afteru.xm. deuouueed tba methods employed in pre
PHiing aud laring the cross-walk. rrf tbe uew Broadway
paveaieut. The matter wa* brouglit to the auentiou
of the delegat-s by Wiiiiam J. O'Brien, of the New
York brancb of the (.r-iiit* Cutters' Natlonal I'nion.
Mr. O'lirieii wa_ tlje secretary of a commlttee of three
appointed by the (iranlte Cutters' Natlonal I'nion sorue
tlme ago to Investlgate charge* thnt bad been made
concernlng the work being done on the cro-s-wnlhs.
Thi* coiumlttoe, Mr. O'Brien said yesterday, had ex
aniuicd the cros.-walks after a careful study of the
opeciilcutloiw. It was lound that tbo work in many
piaces had uot been d..ne according to speclfications.
When the commlttee hud tinialied its work, Mr.
O'Brien had a typowritten satemeut prepai-d. ln rwhieh
lie aet forth some of tbe opecilicationa ln relatlon to
dre.-_.iiig and luying the stone* of the cross-walks. The
statement then gave sevenU instances of the faulty
work. This statement wa? mailod to Ttiomas t. Gilrov.
Conimlssioner of Public B/nrks, on December *__. Mr.

. .ampletely ignored by Mr. Oilroy. although he had re
amt unl blm Ua givo Uie Uianite Cuitet-' Naiioual li.iou

Tiie letter to Mr. Oilroy says that on Inveitlgation of
the cros-walhs it was found that tlie work was not
