Wright’s col- i umn. "Thinking Out Loud,” which appears in the four newspapers pub lished by the Tri-County Publishing Co.. Ardmore, Pa. | Mr. Wright wrote, in part: "Once upon a time a newspaper editor lay down for a few hours rleep at the end of his busy day and in his sleep he dreamed a lovely dream. It was not a dream of great ! wealth, or of exotic doings on some South Sea fsle. or of hearing the world applaud his name, fr news paper editors dream of other things. The dream was so lovely that a sera phic smile illumined the editor’s face. He dreamed that the paper came out on time and Everything Was Right! “In the dream everything was in the paper that anyone wanted in, and yet nothing was in that anyone might have preferred left out Every word was spelled right and every comma was in its proper place. 1 Every photograph was reproduced beauti fully and had the" right caption.

The wheels have stopped rolling on the Missouri Pacific. 'Hey may stop rolling on other railroads at any timo. Recently the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis continue operation for several days under similar circumstances. What are These Strikes About? These strikes and strike threats axe not about wage rates or hours. They result from disputes over the meaning of exist ing contracts. They cover obiim* for a full day’s pay for less than a day’s work, or for payments for services performed by others who were fully paid for the work done.
