Bakers Renew Fight
Against KrUg.

The LEGAL members OF the Bak-
ers' Union have renewed their fight
against the Krug Baking Company
of Dayton, Ohio. The Krug firm
is non union from cellar to the roof
and they sell their non-union pro-
ducts by giving prizes, moving pic
ture tickets, etc. 1t is said that
at one time this concern sold six
thousand loaves of bread in Hamil-
ton each day, but lately the sales
have dwindeIed down to three
thousand. Taking this to be true
the bread consumers of Hamilton
must be getting next to the out of
town bread. The bakers say they
have some inside information on the
methods used by the outside bak-
cries to sell their goods, and they
are going to reach the grocers with
these facts.

Seven Hour Day Stands,

Washington, March 24.-Con-
gresham Borland's attempt to
lengthen the work day of Washing
ton government clerks from seven
to eight hours was defeated by
large majorities on three separate
votes, after the chair had ruled that
the motion to make it rider" to
an appropriation bill was out of or
der. Congressman Borland then
introduced a resolution which pro-
vided for 10 per cent reduction
of the number of clerks and that
hours be increased to equalize the
loss of service to the government.
This resolution was defeated. A
motion TO recommit the resolution
was also defeated. As the house
was sitting as in committee of the
whole, no record vote was taken.
The attempt to lengthen the
clerks work day was opposed by
the American Federation of Labor.
President Gompers agreed that
the work day of mechanics and
other workers who now labor eight
hours and longer should be short
ened instead of the clerks hours
heightened.
The agitation has resulted in the
formation of Federal Civic Ser
vice Employees union, chartered by
the American Federation of Labor.
Hundreds of clerks are joining this
organization.

rest
Having eaten a comfortable lunch,
talked about the mornings business
and lighted good cigar over a cup Of
black coffee, Wall streets mind again
concentrates on the market and the
telephone load Immediately begins to
rise and soar upward, while the ac
tivtty, which usually marks the stock
market from 2:30 until the closing at
s. is in progress. However, the after
noon peak does not reach the morning
peak load.
After 8, Wall street puts on its hat
and goes home leaving the myriads
of clerks, stenographers and book
keepers to straighten out the tangles
and clean up the mess which the days
business has brought There is little
time for telephone talk. Everybody
wants TO get home, and in consequence
the number OF calls declines sharply
up to g. then fades away for the rest
OF the night.-Wall Street Journal
