IS THE M4YOR RIGHT?

At the last meeting of the
common council a resolution
was passed giving to City Hall
employees half holiday on Sat-
urday. The mayor will return
the resolution to the council
and ask a reconsideration. If
the council refuses to reconsid-
er he will probably veto it.
The mayors reason for this
stand is that it would seriously
interfere with the proper dis
charge Of public business.
Now this is a very old argu-
ment. 1t was used when the de-
mand was made for an eight
hour day for government en-
ployes long ago. But the em-
ployes got the eight-hour day,
and the business of the govern
ment was never crippled. When
the clerks of the city asked for
the early closing Of stores the
same argument was used. at
would ruin business" but the
stores were closed and business
goes on just the same. It is all
in the habit Of doing business.
The banks close at 1 O'Clock on
Saturday. Does this cripple
business? Are we not in the
habit of going to the banks a
little earlier on Saturday?
We can just as we'll apply
ourselves to this in the transac-
ton of business with the city.
The city will never lose a dollar
in granting employees a Satur,
day half holiday. Much good,
however, will be done by this in
itiative on the part of the city.
We, who are struggling for bet
ter conditions for labor can re-
ceiye much ragement
when the city has established
certain things that we are striv-
ing for, and perhaps this is one
OF the real reasons why some
opposition is manifested at this
time.
In England, all branches of
labor quit work at noon on Sat-
urdays. Even in Chicago some
of the building trades enjoy the
Saturday half holiday, while
the department stores there OBJ
serve it during the greater por-
ton of the year.
In Duluth the board of trade
closes at noon on Saturday,
and even the cigarmakers who
work eight hours on every other
day quit earlier in the last day
of the week. The movement for
the Saturday half holiday while
in it's infancy here should be
encouraged by all. Even the
preachers should take it up. It
would aid in filing their
churches on Sunday morning.
Visit a workingman's communi-
ty, and he will be found doing
some necessary work about his
home on the Sabbath morning.
1t is dark when he returns after
his daily work is done, and as
he is usually unable to employ
anyone to do some work that
is required of a man about a
home, he must do it himself on
the only day he has, which is
Sunday. In municipal matters
the city of Duluth is leading in
the van guard of progress. 1t
has already solved some puz-
zling questions. 1t will yet
solve many more. Other cities
refer to us as being the leader in
the public ownership idea. Let
them also refer to us as being
the leader in the complete shor-
ter work day idea,

Soule, Dan Derrin and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Bradstreet and son collided.
The mishap took place opposite Hills
store and was due to the darkness Of
that locality as the electric light at
the gate Of the H. & w. mill was not
burning at the time. An arc light
farther up the street made it almost
impossible for Mr.. Bradstreet to see
ahead and before he had time to stop
his horse the collision occurred. Mr..
Bradstreets carriage was damaged
quite badly. but further than that no
damage was done. An odd feature of
the mishap was that Mr.. Soule's wheel
went up over the front axle OF the
other wagon and dropped between the
two wheels of the carriage.

soon the house will be ready for occu-
