CITY POST OFFICE
T|E-UP IS FEARED
JurlsdlctionaI Dispute OF La
Dor Crafts Impairs Work
on Addition.

A JuriSdictional dispute of four weeks
standing between two labor crafts Is
threatening seriously to tie up work on
the addition to the City Post once at
North Capitol and G streets unless
there Is an early settlement. II was
learned toSay.
The question at issue is whether the
mill rights or the elevator constructors
shall install the conveyors, which are
travelling belts carrying mail.
Is Men Needed.
Only about Is men probably would
be employed in the work, it was said.
but due to labor Affiliations, walkout
of up to 200 workers is feared If either
OF the crafts Is put on the job
Meanwhile, construction of the addi-
ton has progressed to q point where
some OF the conveyors should be in
stalled Immediately, and within a
month the work win be seriously ham,
pered unless the jurisdictional Differ
ences are composed The matter has
been laid before the National Labor
Board and the American Federation Of
Labor.
A similar situation exists or has ex-
listed in several cities where post Offices
have been built. Construction officials
here said difficulties of this sort now
are being encountered in Philadelphia.
The general contractor for the post
Office addition Is the B-W Construction
Co., and the subcontractors who obtained
the contract for installing the conveyors
are the Associated Erectors, Inc, OF
Chicago.
Most Equipment Here.
Most of the equipment mas been
brought here. For some time the Asso-
ciated Erectors paid oemurrage on it
as it lay on a railroad siding. Then
they had it transferred to warehouse.
where they are having to pay storage
charges.
officials of the Associated Erectors
said in the past they always have en-
ployed millwrights for installation OF
conveyors. Pending settlement of the
dispute the general contractor will not
allow them to start work.

Coaches en- route to various

The fact that the squad will repair for
Summer practice to Lake Sebago in

past, should not minimize the fact that
the Violet is as heavily committed to
preseason preparation as ever. The
fact that the camp at Sloatsville is run

Cockiness Seen as Golf Asset for Harper

house. Harper is a fine golfer. He
hits his shots well-perhaps better
than Howell, and he can play money
golf, too. That match few days
ago in which he and Morton Nc
Carthy beat Harry Pitt and Maury
Nee demonstrated that. Against
Nee and Pitt-two men who play
really fine golf and who know Co
lumbia like a book - this Norfolk
pair shot a best ball of Ct, with
Harper playing most of the golf.
Cockiness? Yes, Harper has 1t.
Watch him hit one of his low-fying
iron shots dead. on the pin and
congratulate him with Good shot,
Chandler" He will usually reply,
THANK you" Implying that he ex-
pected the shot to come of in just
that way and that if it had been
otherwise it would be unexpected.
That's cockiness, but it wins golf
matches. Sometimes it pays to be
cocky, but from the conversation go
ing the rounds at Columbia Harper's
brand of cockiness didn't make a
great big hit. The kid Is good
all right, but he "can be had" just
