RACECOURSE STRIKE
(Rec. 2.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, October 15
Twelve hundred grooms who exercise at all the metropolitan racecourses struck today for a union shop and wages increases. Pickets were placed outside Jamaica, the only course at which there was racing today, and union drivers bringing horses in floats from other tracks refused to cross the picket lines. Many horses had to be scratched and trainers had to saddle and lead'the starters.
