GREYHOUND SHELVES PICKET BAN REQUEST

Strike-torn Greyhound Lines Inc. has postponed a planned legal action against pickets outside the Richmond bus terminal because allegedly illegal strike activities decreased over the weekend, a letter to a union official said.

The transit company had planned to ask a Richmond Circuit Court judge to bar striking workers from picketing the station.

If illegal activities resume at the Richmond station, the company will ask the court to "reduce and strictly limit the number of picketers at each entry-exit point at the Richmond facilities," Greyhound lawyer Donald L. Creach wrote to to Roger L. Hedgepeth, president of Local 1516 of the Amalgamated Transit Union. - Associated Press
