Much interest is centered in the joint conference to be held Monday night at o'clock in the Morris hotel between the clerks union committee and members of the Merchants exchange. At that time the question of opening hours will be dis cussed and it is hoped by both sides that an agreement will be reached.
 The clerks and the merchants have each submitted a proposition regarding the opening and closing hours, and the holidays to be allowed. There is very lit- tie difference between the two proposi- tions except in the number of holidays. and this it is believed, will be the bone of contention

Mr.. Leland was equally non-commit-

that he does not especially care for the
place.
In the meantime there are other forces
which are desirous of putting a stop to
the factional fights within the party.
The hone of this element is in Senator
Long. Although Senator Long is a fast
friend of Mr.. Leland they are hoping
that he viii find a way to quiet the in

entirely new element may come to the
front between now and the holding of
