All you have to do these days to win a quarrel with an aggressive union that wants to muscle in—is be Sherman Billingsley, and own the Stork Club.

Though they outnumber the police by a conservatively estimated five to one, the roving toughs and bums of New York City are always happy when even a single officer is taken oft patrol. They must therefore be highly pleased by the situation at No. 3 East 53rd Street, where a policeman is kept in one place all day and most of the night. This is because of violent behavior by picketing unioneers who have a grudge against the restaurant and night-spot which is located at that address and known, far and wide, as the Stork Club.
