How 1t vynl Effect Business.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:
If Congress thinks the department clerks are
the ones on whom their law is to fall with the
greatest severity, they don't look far enough into
the matter. Business men are the ones whom It
will be the hardest on 1t is bound to extend their
tom, and to cost them large part OF the custom
they have tried so hard to keep. Within a few
years the enterprise OF merchants in this city has
secured vast amount OF custom that formerly
went TO Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York Ii
the shopping hours of department clerks are re-
duced, practically abolished, the old custom will
again obtain, and merchants will suffer. Congress
succeeds better In making Washington the worst
place for business In the country than In most
anything else 1t undertakes.
