HARRINGTON

During the hot weather of the past
summer, the leading stores Of Harrington
closed their doors at seven O'Clock each
day of the week except Sundays and !
Saturdays. and they found that the pro |
puetors were equally benefited with their |
clerks, by reason of having the freedom /
of taking comfort, and resting for the |
following day There is no reason why 4
any store should be kept open after seven
o clock Of amy evening except possibly
Saturday evenings, in the town of Har-
rington. The parents Of the young women
and boys who are clerking in these stores
for the small sum Of four and FIVE dol
lars per week, should object to them
working more than ten hours each dav,
unless they are paid better wages and for
the extra time that would etfectuallv
stop the practice of keeping stores open
until late at night at any season of the .
wear. The young women can make bet 4
ter wages in the kitchens q the better !
homes of Harrington, and have far more |
time to themselves, than workingon dav
and night tours in the stores Demand =
fair deal should be the motto of the {
clerks, and they can get what they de !
mand, If they will stand together.
