No Boycott
Is Needed.

It is particularly unfortunate that
the representations of the trades
council should have gone so far as
to advise a boycott of those places
of business that have not seen fit
to cease their businesses for a Fri
day afternoon holiday.
Friday afternoon closing is very de-
sirable, especially during the sum
mer time, when a mans business is
in such a condition that it is pos
sibIe and advisable to close That,
however, is one of those things that
can be determined only by the pro-
prietor himself and, whatever his
action, there is no excuse for an
organized interference, either with
him or his business.
The boycott, like the black list, is
an un-American institution. Both are
or ought to be-illegal. Pensacola
does not need either, and The Jour
nal hopes that no attempt will be
made to institute one at a time when
the city and everyone In it-em-
pIoyer and employee-needs harmony
and good will as they never did be-
fore. The Journal does not believe
that the representatives of the trades
council really intended to go as far
as their open letter indicated. At
least it hopes they did not.
