THE TRADES ASSEMBLY.

The trade and labor assembly held its
regular meeting last Friday evening.
Three new delegates were admitted
from the retail clerks union. Miss
MOllie Lee was elected trustee to fill a
vacancy. The committee on organiza-
tlOn reported that the StOnemaSOnS and
painters are about to organize. The
same committee WAS instructed to visit
the photographers, bricklayers, tailors
and other organizations not fully repre-
scented in the assembly.
The committee on early closing re-
port that thorough canvass of the city
has been made, and nearly all stores
how close at 6:30 or every evening eX-
cept Saturday. The grocers have been
closing early of their own accord.
Messrs. Valesh, Daggey and Coughlin
were appointed committee to call on
the leading grocers Immediately and
make some permanent agreement
with them. A blackboard will be
placed this week in the lobby
at labor headquarters, bearing
the names of all firms who agree to close
early. Every opportunity has been
given all merchants to sign the agree
ment drawn up by the trade and labor
assembly, and it now feels justified III
using every effort 10 withdraw working
peoples patronage from those firms who
Insist upon keeping open evenings.
The following is the agreement in re-
gard to early closing and full list of
the signatures obtained:
Resolved, That the merchants Of 81. Paul
be requested 10 join in the early closing
movement by closing their places of business
at q 80 O'Clock evenings, excepting Satu day
and Monday evenings, and from Dec. 10 TO

The shoe dealers have signed sep
arate agreement, whose provisions are
practically the same as the above agree
ment, and every shoe dealer of any
standing closes early. Quite number
also close early who are not on the list
because they object to binding them
selves TO any particular action. The
Sunday closing law is also being rigidly
enforced.
The following communication was re-
eeivcd in reply to resolutions recently
forwarded by the assembly:
