Lincoln, .Neb Sept 27,1'oor service
for western newspaper was the cause
of much dissension in the recent meet
ing of the Associated Press at New
York, C. B. Kdgar of thl city is said
to have started a lively debate, 4n
which-Harvey W. Scott of Portland.
Colonels A. J. Blethen of Seattle and

itors participated. JEdgmr led .the bat
tie for better service by addressing the
ch&ir on the subject of delayed report,
and he also referred to the slim re
ports received on account - of the. oper
ators' strike and probably because of a
tendency of the Associated Press to
give a sort of haphesacfi service to it
western- subscriber. .
General Manager 'Melville Stone of
the-Associated Press, voicing the senti
ments of the eastern publishers, said
that he wee sure that the service was all
that it 'Should have been and that the
lowance of copy. It was maintained by
Mr. Stone that the eastern newspapers
were satisfied, - and his position was
made strong by the backing he received
from member of the association who
were present and who represented news
papers the other side of the Rockies and
the middle west.

worked to some points, and on the
whole, it developed, the strike did not

The western editor did not think that
they should be made to pay the full rate
for a poor service, and they asked for
rebates. This concession was refused.
Stone said that it was costing the Asso
ciated Press a deal of money to fight
the operator' strike, but that the asso
ciation was in the struggle for a finish.
He was not In favor of concessions, and
he believed that Jt waa the duty of the
