the car for runs as far out as this city.

the merchants in the city this morning
when the Red Front, one of the largest
clothing establishments in the city, an

remain open until o'clock every even

one announced that unless the order
was rescinded they would quit The
order stood and the clerks gave notice.

circulated a petition entering into
new agreement to close their places

time, completely ignoring the move of

up bitter feeling.
