ANXIOUS statesmen,
Fears That They VIII Lose Two Half
HOlidays,

Fears That They VIII Lose Two Half
Holidays.
The statesmen in the retail stores Of this
city are just now in a state of anxiety con-
corning the question as to whether they
will be accorded the usual half holidays on
Decoration day and July of this year.
1t has been the custom of nearly all retail
houses to close at noon on national holi-
days, but it so happens that several Of
those holidays fall this year on Saturday,
which in many lines Of trade is regarded
as the principal business day of the week.
1nasmuch as Washingtons birthday fell on
Saturday. and the clerks were denied the
usual half day, many of them fear the same
course may be pursued on May 30 and July
1. Others, again, argue that as February
- has never been regarded as more than a
minor holiday, at best, it need not furnish
precedent for the other and more gener-
ally observed holidays. Speaking to Star
reporter. one Of the most prominent cloth
Ing statesmen In the city said: Il do not
share in the general fear upon this point
l regard the proprietors of the leading es-
adjustments in our line as far too patriotic
and public spirited far too cons.derate of
their own standing in the eyes of the COM
munity, well as the rights of their EN-
ployes as citizens, to let few paltry dol
lars stand in the way Of the proper OBJ
servance of these patriotic occasions. They
KNOW as well as we that America mas a
less number of national holidays than any
other civilized country in the world and
they also know the paucity of holidays in
our country is but an inherited habit, con-
tracted in the early days Of the republic
when we had a continent to subdue and a
nation to build, which called for a continu-
ity Of labor which present conditions rem
der entirely unnecessary, uncalled for and
altogether unwise. l still think the princi-
pal merchants of our city are too patriotic
to barter their and our patriotic impulseS
for the infinitesimal gains of six hours
labor"
