NEW YORK. July Is. lUP)-As
the todays melt into yesterdays, and
the grave looms increasing large,
I am becoming convinced that the
prime purpose of a sports writer
is to sit in front of a desk and
listen to publicity agents talk big
about small things.
For example, an agent wearing
a gray hat and seersucker trousers
has been sticking as close to me
as a Siamese twin for the past two
weeks telling me about a horse
named Greyhound. The agent
started slowly. He first acquainted
ME with the parents of Greyhound
and then worked up into such vital
information as that Greyhound"
ate four quarts of oats at five in
the morning. six quarts of mash at
II in the morning. and four quarts
of oats just before the sun sank
beyond the horizon.
As soon as had "digested" these
illuminating statistics the agent, in
a burst of confidence, let me in on
the secret that Greyhound" was
l6.2 hands high at the Withers and
1914 hands from point of breast
to swell of quarters. I was so ap-
preciative of this information that
| asked my man in the grey hat
who by this time was this horse
Greyhound?
He proceeded to tell me that
Greyhound was undoubtedly the
finest four-footed outfit that ever
switched a tail, kicked the stavs
out of a stall, or bit the hand that
fed him sugar, and that he was
going to try and pull buggy over
a half-mile course faster than a

LAUNDRY STRIKERS
ASK FOR ELECTION
Want National Board to Or.
der Vote on Bargaining
Rights.

Striking dry-cleaning employees,
whose walkout has affected l3 plants
here, said today they had asked the
National Labor Relations Board to
order an election to determine COL
lective bargaining rights of employees.
Samuel Rubenstein, spokesman for
the plant operators, said Saturday
the employers were waiting for the
board TO hold an election to determine
whether Laundry Workers. Dyers and
Cleaners Union, Local 1877, represents
a majority of its employees.
Declaring they had received con-
trlbutions sufficient to enable them
to carry on the strike for another
week, the strikers resumed their pick
citing today, their ranks bolstered at
some plants by representatives of con-
sumers' groups. They also said they
had arranged for plants in "a nearby
city, to handle the work of tailors in
| sympathy with the strike.
Formal charges against the oper-
ators we're filed by the strikers with
the Labor Board Saturday. Included
were charges of discrimination be-
cause Of union activity, refusals to
bargain collectively with employees,
intimidation OF workers, attempts to
deal individually with workers and
transportation Of strike breakers across

POST OFFICE WORK
ORDERED STARTED
Union Complaint Here Fails
to Stop Issuance of U. S.
Directions.

Notice to the contractor to proceed
with a s42.685 job of painting and
plastering in the city post office was
sent out by the Procurement Division
OF the Treasury Department today
despite complaints of the local paint
ers' union that the contracting firm
employs Ron-union labor.
Similar notice involving three other
jobs. one at the city post Office and
two at the annex OF the Internal
Revenue Building, were sent out last
Friday. The painters union had
lodged the same protest in these
instances.
The first job awarded to Coones &.
Raptis OF New York City and involv-
ing the largest sum, is to be COM
pleted within 80 days. The others,
all awarded to William Wilson g. Sons
Inc, are to be finished within 10 days
Firms Named Low Bidders.
In all cases, it was explained at the
Procurement Division, the firms named
were the low bidders, but under terms
of the Bacon-Davis act submitted
complete wage rates at union levels in
their specifications. Compliance with
these conditions bring them within the
laws affecting Federal construction
work.
B. P. Holcombe. spokesman for the
union, said today he contemplated
no action until one or both of the
companies actually put non-union
men - the jobs. If this happens, he
said, ~dnion painters and plasterers
now at work on Federal contracts, will
be called out on strike. Small groups
Of union members now are on paint
ing or plastering jobs at the Apex
Building, the Archieves Building and
the Procurement Building.
Holcombe said the difficulty might
be removed by employment of unior
labor by the two firms on the govern.
ment jobs here.
If strikes are called, he continued
he will ask that union workers or
other Federal construction tasks here
join with the painters.
Major construction jobs are under
way on the Apex Building, the anne,

craving and a new warehouse for tn
