THE MERCHANTS TO MEET.
The Version of One Merchant to the
Sunday Closing Proposition.

Local merchants meet next Thursday
night to talk over the plan proposed by
the clerks and the knights of Labor to
close up every evening except
Saturdays, at 200 O'Clock, and all day
on Sundays.
Is. Blumenthal, who opened last
SUNDAY, sad today to HERALD re
porter mat he favored closing up at
90 p. m, and proposed to close up
himself anyhOE. After Il man HAD
, been coopei up in u store all day, he
ought To close up early and get home
TO his family. This keeping open I'M
til and III o'c.ock every evening was
too mucn. ~ man had little chance to
get acq TAINTED with his folks or enjoy
Ilfe. Now, when evening comes. Mr..
B4umenthal said he coulo go home and
spend the evening ON his
veranda, or go out with his
folks, and enjoy himself ia
many ways, ana thus secure needed
change aud rest from the confinement
OF tne day at the store. However, as
to sunday closing, why, that was anoth-
er proposition. There are not few
people and especially people from out
of Town, VINO lind IT most convenient to
make purchases of pei SOfal attire sun
DAY morning, and If the stores are all
smut up in FL Paso, these purchasers
Will go over the river to buy, so that
money will b. lost to Ell PasO. Mr..
Blumenthal said that his SUNDAY morn
leg business ran anywhere from $40 to
SloO, and rooabiy business amounting
to SoOO or more Was done in town every
Sunday morning. He did not like to
see this trade go over tie river, at the
same time 1t was not necessary to Opeo
a 600 clock SUNDAY mornings. Eight
o clock was eacly enough, with noon as
the closing time. Mr.. B.umenthal said
| that II any Of his clerks wanted to 60
| to church Sundays they were at iber-
ty to go.
The opening of the stores of Messrs
Blumenthal aud He'll Sunday resulted
10 Il secret and special meeting of the
knights of Labor that night, when
| the matter was pretty thoroughly dis
| cussed. The Knights thought they
could treat with the two business
houses better if the newspapers did not
me ntlOn the matter: so cOmmiJ6ee
waiG ed On the local press. Mr.. Solke
who called on the HERALD said all the
other papers hal agreed to pass the al
fair over: and the HERALD 10 oblige
The Knights refrained from reference
to 1t. But the Times appeared this
| morning with u more or less sensation
al account, and MIR. Solke says they
are guilty of breech of faith in so
dong. But then, this is what the
TIMES calls scope and a self go-
rlhcatlOn may be expected tomorrow
