abridgement ot the freedom of the press"
 Majority Views
 The majority opinion affirmed the order of the National Labor Rela- tions Board directing the Associat- ed Press to reinstate Morris Wat son, New York editorial employe. Watson contended he was dismissed because of activities in connection with the Americ Newspaper Guild. The Associated Press said he was discharged because his work was not up to proven ability.
 Guild Charges
 The Guild charged the Associated Press violated the Wagner Act by discouraging membership in the la Dor organization.
 The Associated Press contended the legislation violated the freedom of the press and took property without due process of law
 Justice Roberts in the prevailing opinion declared that the actual reason for his (Watson's) discharge as shown by the unattached find ings of the Board was Guild acti- vity." He said that while the os- terlsible grounds of his discharge was on grounds of his work, there was evidence that his agitation for the collective bargaining stat ute was really the cause and that Watson was guilty of only what the Act declares permissible"
 Justice Sutherland, dissenting, said the minority did not agree on other issues in the case.

One of the colorful characters that follow the racing clans from track to track is Dick Long, an old timer of the ancient and honorable profession of saddlery. More than 40 years ago Long came to America from Berkshire, Eng, to practice his trade. His father had been a saddlemaker and he had learned all about saddles martingales, hob- bies, muzzles, brides, stall guards, blinkers and heel boots in his fa- ther's shop.
 The old 1eatherman is an indis- pensable adjunct to the racing re- tinue. In his brides and saddles he uses only the finest English cow hides and pigskins, although Amer ican leather is cheaper. Long feels that American products cannot com- pare with those of English tan nerieS.
 Most veteran jockeys facing the riders bugaboo = weight making have shown interest in new Brit ish saddle, which fully rigged weighs only about pound. Those now used in America weight any where from a pound and half to four pounds, unrigged.
 Two Saddles Per Jockey
 The new light saddle (about the same size of an American one) is made on a tree or frame of a much lighter wood. That's where the diff ference comes in.
 The average apprectice is con- tent with a single. saddle. Most jockeys have two "a long seated saddle of the type made popular by Tod Sloan, Snapper Garrison and other heroes of the past, and a modern flat-seated, postage-stamp English, of a type that came into use many years ago. The more affluent top-notch jockey has a dozen or more saddles-which cost from SIS to $100. These are scaled according to weight so that the lead pads will not have to be used in weight variance.
 Workman Goes Hungry
 Western riders, such as Charley Stevenson and Basil James, cling to the long-seated type. Eastern CTS, like Eddie Arcaro, Sonny Work man and Silvio Coucci, prefer to do their riding in flat-seated model Several eastern riders who have tried thaneE dltant 1Eng]igh saddle

objected. Rockwood visited the job
personally, and again ordered the
