leading money winner, favored
in the bulky cast of 232 players.
For the first time in six years,
Bantam Ben Hogan was not
among tn e pre-tourney choices
because of an ailing back.
The tournament will be play
ed over the 6,310-yard par 70
Miami Springs course which is
owned by the City of Miami.
The course was flooded dur
ing the October hurricane but is
in playing shape again with GER
tain local ground rules existing
because of water Or mud in
spots.
The Greens, however. were
pronounced in perfect shape.
The course is not considered
diffic''1t and for most of the gol-
fers the green's are within two
shots of the tee.
Snead who plans to play in
only four tournaments a year
after the winter tour in order to
devote his time to new Job at
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va,

ers who can hit the greens in
couple of blows.

ported last wek.
Approximately 22OO strikes
were recorded by BIS in the
first six months. These strikes,
said BIS, involved about l.
100000 workers and accounted
for a time-loss of between 20
and 21,000,000 man days. BY
contrast, during the first half of
1946 when ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
controversies reached their post

ness amounted to nearly 3d.
100000 man-days."
There were only 13 strikes
from January to June involving
10000 or more workers, the
report said. Largest of these
was the lengthy telephone
workers strike in April and
May, and. the strike of the coal
miners in late June. In the same
period of 1916, 18 large strikes
involving 10000 or more work
