PARIS CAFES DO NOT CLOSE
Employers Postpone Execution of
Their Threat to Close as Protest
Against Rest Law.

PARIS, Sept. 2.-Contrary to the general
expectation that the threats of proprietprs
of hotels. cafes and places of amusement
to close their doors would be carried into
effect, Paris was not transformed today
from its usual gay aspect because OF the
application Of the compulsory weekly rest
day.
The hotel and restaurant keepers at the
last moment decided that they would post
pone for another week the carrying out OF
the Alimentation syndicates action in
faor of a complete closing on Sundays and
rejecting the proposal to give employees a
day on in rotation. This adjustment of ac-
ton was due to Minister of Commerce
Doumergue. consenting to receive this week
deputatnon which will request a modifica-
tion of the law that will permit employees
OF their establishments TO work seven days
each week, IL the employees are willing to
do so. M. Doumergue, 1t Is believed, is not
willing to give his consent to such a modi-
fication.
Many department stores already have
made application for permission to be al
lowed to grant employees on days in rota-
ton in order that the stores may remain
open daily. Others of these places of bust.
ness. however, have decided TO close al
together Sundays.
Government inspectors have been ordered
to show tolerance at the beginning in their
enforcement Of the new law.
