Explains His Bureau Favors
Neither Union Nor Nom
Union Workmen.
DECLARES HIS ANSWER
NOT MEANT AS APOLOGY
Writes Manufacturers Association
Representative Following Criticism
Over Repainting of White House.

The Office of Public Buildings and
into the spotlight recently by the pro-
test raised over the employment of
non-union labor in repainting the
White House, favcrs neither union nor
non-union labor, but awards contracts
solely on the basis of the lowest COM
petent bidder, in conformity with law
Sees Rap at Non-Union Labor.
This is the gist of the reply that
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of
public buildings and public parks, made
public today to j. E. Edgerton, presi-
dent OF the National Association of
Manufacturers, in New York City, who
charged that Col. Grant appears to be
favoring union labor. Labor leaders
asserted that their group was being dis
eliminated against in the White House
painting job and this brought an ex-
PLANTATION from Col Grant. Mr.. Edger-
ton protested to see in this explana-
ton a rap at non-union labor.
Insisting that his letter is not an
apology" Col. Grant wrote to Mr..
Edgerton as follows:
Your letter of September 81, 1880,
on the above subject contract for re-
painting the White House, has been
received. The small extract from a let
ter written by me to certain members
of Congress about the award of the con-
tract for painting the White House is
correctly quoted, but the inference you
draw from this quotation is not justi-
fed and was certainly not intended.
Records Show No Prejudice"
my original letter was written in
reply to inquiries, from which it ap-
peared that 1 was being accused of
showing favoritism to an employer of
non-union labor, and the fact that the
practice of the Office in connection with
all construction contracts entered into
since January l would not justify such
an accusation was pertinent and con-
elusive. The same records show that
there has been no prejudice against the
employers of non-union labor. Award
has been made in each case in accord
ance with law.
My original letter was a statement
of facts and an explanation of the legal
question governing the action taken
by this Office. 1t was not an apology.
Neither is this letter to be taken as an
apology. 1t is merely an effort to pre-
vent any possible further misunder-
standing"

II YUDAUNTED by the dire predic-
tons of heat, golfers of the Co
lumbia Contry Club have made
the initial gesture in move
to gather together as many OF the
washington Golf and Country Club
golfers as care to brave the blazing sun
to play in a friendly match week
from tomorrow over the course of the
Columbia club.
An invitation, sent from Columbia
by Miller B. STEVENSON. the District
champion and captain of the Columbia
team. to the Washington club. has been
accepted by chairman Paxton OF the
Washington Golf Committee and early
in the afternoon of August II the trek
will begin from the club across the
river in Virginia over TO Columbia,
where the towering oaks OF Montgomery
County have failed to keep the neat
from the fairwayS.
STEVENSON makes plain in his invita-
ton that the affair is not to be in the
nature of a formal challenge to team
match, and couches his letter in phrases
that indicate the affair will be nothing
more than a friendly get-together. But
then ''Stevie" always is that way He
always does the nice thing. Matches
will be made up at the f1rSt tee at the
suggestion of the players themselves,
and there will be no formal business
of naming team, such as there used
to be when those unpopular team
matches were being played by half
dozen or more of the local clubs.
In other words the affair will be
nothing more than group of Wash
Ington players going over to Columbia
to play with their friends from Co
lumbia. And a repeat engagement Will
be played at Washington later in the
year. STEVENSON points out that II the
sun continues to pour down its heat
and the weather is deemed too hot to
play golf the whole thing may be called
off by agreement of the two clubs, but
he hopes the weather will break before
the seventeenth and that good. old
fashioned get-together may be the re-
suit of the friendly gesture.
The professional sweepstakes tourney,
scheduled to be held at Columbia on
Monday, has been postponed because
of the conflict of the event with the
Philadelphia open championship, sched-
uled for decision next Monday and
Tuesday. Two or three local pros plan
to go to Philadelphia and several Balti-
more pros are going. Anyhow" says
Fred Mcleod, Its too doggone hot to
play golf" Freddie has played little
golf during the hot spell, for he does
not like to play those crisp iron shots
for which he is famous of ground
whose consistency is like unto that OF
concrete.
H. L. Rust has reached the final
round in the competition for the ellis
Cup among the senior players of the
