LABOR IN BEHALF
OF THE CLERKS
Stores VIII be Asked to
Close at Noo.:: on SATURDAY.
Agitation for New Reform
Meets with Public Approval
Especial to the Tribune)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. May 23-
The women of this city who have done
so much to bring about reforms and
better conditions for the laboring peo-
pie are active just now in an effort
to have all the retail stores close at
noon on Saturdays. To further their
purpose in this matter, the daily pa
pers contain communications from
many women calling attention to the
long hours of those who clerk in stores
and showing in a most logical way
advantages that wou.> accrue by let.
ting the weeks toll end at noon on
Saturday. In these communications
they call attention to the fact that
many delivery boys not more than
twelve years old are kept busy on
Saturday nights very frequently un-
til after midnight, and in some in
stances these lads have had to com.
plete their deliveries on Sunday morn
ings. The women take the position
that the stores will not loose any
trade by Saturday noon olcgsinetaoi
trade by Saturday noon closing, since
those who have to make deliveries
can compete their work early in the
afternoon. In addition to this those
who are employed in the great stores
viii be given an opportunity to look
after some of the duties of life Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday, under this
will become a real day
of recreation. As it is today, many
shop girls are compelled to use Sunday
as mending day and for the atten-
tion to little details that can not be
taken up at any other time. Much
interest is being taken by the various
women's clubs of the city in this mat
ter, and, since the women of San
Antonio have never scored a failure
in any reform undertaken, it is be-
lieved they will succeed with this.
Many people Of the city aside from
the women are becoming interested
and the movement for the half holi-
day for those employed in the retail
stores is gaining popularity lal the
time.

AFTER'THAT
EXPOSITION
Magic City VIII Try to
Land Big State Show
Believes Commissioners
Suggestion Good One

MlNOT, May 24-It is probable that
Minot will make strenuous effort to
land the big state exposition, which
is planned by Commissioner Of Agri-
culture and Labor Gilbreath and which
it is estimated, will attract $4,000
visitors to the city.
The formal proposition has been
submitted to the Commercials Club in
a letter received by Secretary Ellis
yesterday. The idea is to have q big
exposition showing that North Dakota
can produce along the line of agri-
culture, dairying, manufacturing, min
ing and there will be departments de-
voted to education, domestic science,
art. horticulture and every other phase
of activity in North Dakota.
The proposition has been submitted
to the larger cities of the state. In
asmuch as the state fair is held in
the Red River Valley, there is strong
sentiment in favor of holding this big
in one of the western cities.
and Minot stands as good chance as
any. Every oEe in North Dakota has
heard much about Minot, the biggest
little city In the world, and those who
have not been here are anxious to see
what kind of town we have.

CROOKED TAXES BAD FOR
EVERYBODY

If the things that the wage
Garner must buy are made more
costly by taxation he can buy
less of those things with what
he earns. If the wage-earuer
buys less the merchant sells
less; if the merchant sells less
the wholesaler or iobber does
less business. This gives the
manufacturer fewer orders and
he protects himself by diminish
ing some of his employees. AS
a consequence there are idle
men who compete more keenly
for employment and wages in
evitably tend downward or fail
to rise as they should upon the
introduction of improved met
hods of production. Further
the building of new homes is
checked by the same process,
and thus the natural demand for
land is checked and the land
owner suffers with the rest.
Every one is really injured.
Ultimately no one profits.
A mistaken system of taxa
tion entails a chain of disasters
that begins with the wage-earn-
er and ends with the land owner.
