At the regular meeting of the cleo trical workers last night the clerks | Tuesday night closing movement was discussed and a vote passed endors- ing the proposition. In addition to this, the society decided not to trade | in any store that opens Tuesday night and to endeavor to induce their friends | to do likewise. It is said that all the other labor organizations will scon take favorable action upon this qucs- tion and if this be true it looks as if | the clerks are reasonably sure of car ryinG their point. Most of the deal CTS are willing to close, but they COIL slider it a hardship to ask them to comply with the request until the 1 thing becomes general. Some of ,he clerks look at it that way, too. but they are of the opinion that in short time l all will fall into line. and that in the cEd the clerks will profit by it and 1 their employers will be out nothing.
