TRUCKING GOODS FROM CHICAGO

W. J. Wright sent his truck to Chicago Monday to bring down some goods O for his furiture store which he could not get by rail, on account of the switchmen’s strike. Some day, when we get more hardsurfaced highways, these gentlemen who are so anxious to tie up the .industrial business of the' entire country by strikes, will find themselves striking at the air, for the public can tell them to go straight up. It will take months to get rail transportation back to normal again as the result of this strike. And in the meantime, food prices will continue to soar and the fool strikers will bleat like a stuck calf over conditions which they themselves are largely responsible for.
