A UNIFORM SATURDAY CLOSING HOUR.

To the Editor OF The Tribyne.
Sir: The Saturday Half Holiday movement has not
proved owing to the banks not closing until
O'Clock that day. Why could not the several States
adopt uniform hour for closing saturday afternoon
think 3::0 p. m. q good hour for shops, Factories
and stores to let their help go home That would give
business houses extra half hOur to close ub their
factories etc. after this banks have closed That IS
The hour adopted In Australia for closing down on
saturday. 1t would give working people time to do
their keting for Sunday. and the r-cchanic coIii
get his Sunday shave aud bath But do not approve
Of ages be ns paid that day, as II leads to too
much drinking and dissipation
