In answer Mr. Richards contends
THE statute IN question was passed

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
We heartily approve the action Of
the Consumers League in trying TO
secure the Saturday half-holiday dur
ing July and August We believe
the rest and recuperation for all
clerks, male and female would re-
suit in better service for the mer-
chants. as well as benefit the clerks
The shoppers would also be bene-
fitted as they would be free from the
responsibility Of buying after
o'clock Saturday a little forethought
would of course be necessary for this
plan. but if everyone would do their
part II would mean sunshine and hap
piness for a great many.
