when citizens start out to coerce
and intimidate the council it was
time for members to form and
stand by opinions of their own.
That some of the members have
done this is evidenced by the fact
that they do not appear to be afraid
to express their own ideas this year

ordinance as amended, despite the
allegation by Hizzoner that the

He also spilled little more vitriol

"The poor mans COW" and he,

the cause of a visit to the city coun

owners and citizens and vigorous
protest on their part against the

The ordinance as introduced pro

the exception of "cats" and dogs

"cows may run at large in said
pound district between the hours OF
100 a. IN. and p. 1n."
The second section read as fol.
lows: "It shall be unlawful for any
person who owns or has charge OF
any animal or poultry to allow the
same to trespass on another per
sons garden or lawn; provided that
this section shall not apply to COWS
running at large in said city during
the time allowed in this ordinance
for them to do So"

VIRGINIA RETAIL CLERKS ASSOCIATION
Formally Organized at Enthusiastic
Meeting Monday Evening.

The early closing movement and
desire to submit the proposition
to employers prior to taking formal
action in the matter by the clerks
was the cause of a we'll attended
meeting at the Finnish Temperance
Hall Monday evening, of which r
J. McGhee acted as chairman and
II. ]. Nathanson as secretary, and
at which many of the business
houses in the city were represented
The request for an earlier hour OF
closing received not only the sane.
ton but the ardent support of a
number of those present, the hour
of closing, as indicated by remarks
of employers, ranging from 600 p
M. to 800 p. m, and by majority
vote as expressed by some twenty
merchants the hour of $50 p. m
was definitely adopted, the new rule
not to apply to Monday or Saturday
evenings or to payday night, and
4
May 14th.
Following the meeting the clerks,
of which large number were pres.
ent and in which was included
many of the fair sex. formally or
ganized the Virginia Retail Clerks
Association, with the object of up
holding the standard of working
hours thus agreed upon, and to
make the observance of the rule
and of the Sunday closing law las
regards mercantile esta ablishments)
effective so far as possible. OF this
Association the charter officials
elected comprise John Driscoll as
president, Miss Clara Miller as Sec
retary, and Leo ]. Kilduff as treas.
urer.
Committees have also since
busted themselves in securing sig.
natures of business men to the
early closing movement, the com.
plete list of which firms to date may
be found in the advertising columns
of this issue.
The movement is not the first OF
its kind launched in Virginia., but
the promoters feel that in the pres.
ent instance, with the substantial
backing of numerous leading firms
and the stolid determination on the
part of members to enforce the
movement, their efforts will receive
merited reward.
