CONSUMERS LEAGUE
 MAKES AN APPEAL.
Urges Early Shopping by the Public
 to Help Saiesgiris.

The Bulletin has been requested to publish the following appeal from the Consumers league:
 Tn the approaching holiday season, the harvest time of the merchants, the temptation will be great 10 meet the demands of the purchasing public by iengthening the working hours and shortening the dinner and supper hours Of the salesgiris. Some candy stoiI and bakeries are already lengthening the hours of work on Saturday by ern- ploying two shifts of girls and keeping open until 10.30 or Ill., but are working each shift eleven and half or twelve hours on this day, in direct violation of the law Of 1909. Many stores have not posted the employment notice fur nished them by the factory inspector as the law requires; some have posted them in the girls dressing room or some other hidden part Of the store and not in conspicuous place as the law requires: some have heightened the hours Of work on Saturday and have not indicated this in their employment notices.
 All these things are in direct viola tion Of the law and lay the employers open to prosecution. The temptation will be great to keep the girls at work at some counter after the stores are closed to the public at 10 o'clock. The Consumers lea que is urging the public to begin it's Christmas shopping early to relieve the zalesgirls from the strain of unnecessary overwork, and IL now begs the merchants to conform strictly to the law on grounds both of expediency and mercy.
 Signed by the committee on public policy Of the Consumer league Of Connecticut.
