An Appeni TO citizens.

The CLERKS Early Closing Association
have issued the following appeal to the cit
izens OF Washington In the interest of the
early closing movements
OF all the humane movements to benefit the
toilcrs for daily bread. there Is no one thot
appeals more dire city 60 public sentiment, or
needs more the co operation OF the plblic
than the closing of stores aud the suspon 'lnn
OF mercantile business ~ an early hour IN the
evening, thus shortening the days work oi
clerks few hours. and giving to them time
for recreation and the enjoyment OF home
comforts, Of which they are now OF necessity
deprived. From 1;9o and so'clock q. m, to
$50 and p. IN. clerks. both male and female,
engage In their occupation wit a monoton9us
aud unyaiying routine that Is trying
which, when finished; units them FOR
indulgence In social pleasures, and pre-
vents that undisturhed fepose so necessary TO
prepare them for the duties of the coming
day. The clerks realize this, but are power
less to aid themselves. Employers require
unity of action to accomplish the, result. 4
few of them are just and independent enough
to respect the BURDEN" and have inaugu-
rated an early closing, but there are SO few
pioneers that they are an exception, hence
hut very small proportion Of employees are
thus benefited. Therefore the clerks have
organized Themselves as an association, ana
determine to appeal 10 the people directly,
the purchasers aud consumcrs-to aid them
II Is desired: First-1'o have the hours of

This is u reasonable request and one that
must commend Itself, and can be accom-
plishcd only by the public adhering to q deter
mination OF purchasing between the hours
named-by adopting a rule never to enter u
store aftcrG O'Clock, p. m, and TO refrain
from visiting stores on legal holidays. ~ can
be done without annoyance or INCONVENIENCE
to the public, or loss to our merchants Ana
In behalf of the hundreds who are compelled
to earn their daily bread, n strenuous and
earnest appeal Is made to aid IN this move
