FAILURE OF EARLY
CLOSING MOVEMENT

OGDEN, June 2O.-The first break In
the early closing movement occurred
Saturday evening when number Of
clothing merchants Kept their stores
open till 9 O'Clock Although all the
better class stores in the city recently
signed an agreement to close their doors
at O'Clock on Saturday evening, yet
several prominent merchants claim
that the movement is inJuring their
business and therefore they have de
cided TO ignore the pact and govern,
their own closing hours A number
of Jewish merchants of the city re-
fused to observe the o'clock closing
agreement, and it is thought that the
other merchants are taking this stand
in self-defense. No final agreement
has been made and it is likely that the
Retail Clerks association will call
general mass meeting TO discuss the
matter In an amicable manner.
