The strike is a general one throughout the United State* the pr inters and operators demanding that they be given a contract for twelve month, which will guarantee them no reduction in scale of wages during that time and alao would guarantee tbem a position for twelve months. On top of those two demands, they are -king that they be given a 44-hour week, instead of the 48-hour week, wtych they have been working under in the past. .to the face of declining costs in ev "|?ry "endeavor, editor Horne was not disposed to guarantee positions for j twelve months nor would he sign up 11?

The State Highway Commission met in Raleigh last week and outlined ; plans for beginning work on the State System of Roads. The First District, which includes Hertford County, will receive f1,513,000 of the first ten mil lion dollars to be spent by the Com missi dn. The first project to be un dertaken in the first district will be the joining up of the Nash County roads with those of Wake County. Nash County has already "constructed nine miles of this road. Other pro jects are planning for other counties in this district. The plans for road work in Hertford County have not been made, as the county has made no move one way or the other. The following extract is taken from last Saturday's Greensboro News, and indicates the attitude of the Commis- 1 sion towards this section. The arti- , cle is as followers: Raleigh, April 29.?Work mapped out by the highway commission at its j meeting this0 week will* connect forgotten provinces of both the north- j eastern part of the state "and the moun ' tain sections with the state. It will not^take a great deal of construction ' work to connect these counties with other counties which already have 1 good roads, and which will put .them in touch with the whole central sec tion o! North Carolina. The commission plans not only to build links of road that will bind the central highway into a long stretch of road traversing the central section of North Carolina, but it has also map ped out plans and approved projects , which will put a road through the Dis mal swamp through Gates county,' oHth a bridge across the Chowan river , st Winton which will link up the whole northeastern section of the sta- , I*. This bridge at Winton, together . with-the one at Williamston which ? mm already been constructed and is in use, will handle an immense traffic which is now pouring over the state line Into Virginia. The central highway, of course, will ^ handle more traffic than any other road in the state, and with the good roads already constructed both by j counties and the highway commissi oh, will not take a great deal of money to j finish up the links which will give North Carolina a fine road, good in all weathers, through the heart of the ' state.
