Half Holiday On Saturday Is Pro-
posed For All Business Establish
ments in the Capital.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
= There lisa great deal OF agitation in
reference TO the Federal employees being
granted Saturday half-holidays all
through the year.
For my part j think the request Is
worthy, commendable and In all fair
mindedness should be acceded to. At
the same time, why should not II be
fair and right for the merchants and all
other business people to grant the same
privilege to their employees and let busi-
ness of all kinds be closed at o'clock
on Saturdays all the year through and
give everyone who tolls just a few hours
each week TO use as they will?
Why should the clerks In department
stores and other places be compelled to
WORK extra hours at laborious and try
ing work. being compelled TO be on their
feet all day long, in order to serve the
other class who work at much better
paid and more agreeable occupations?
II the reason that IL usually put forth,
viz: That the Government employees
have time to do their shopping is to be
quoted again as has been within the
last few days. let me suggest that the
aforesaid Government employees draw a
day now and then from their annual
leave, for which they will be paid, and
thereby avoid working hardship on
others.
Not more than a week ago special
notice" appeared announcing that a
number of mercantile establishments
would close every Saturday afternoon.
These employers. representing big con-
Germs Of the city, realize that the busi-
ness that Is not placed on Saturday
afternoons will certainly come to them
some other day In the week, that a
great many people will be benefited IN
having this little rest and that no one
will lose by the transa elton.
Certainly the employees affected will
bend every effort to Increase business
for firm which considers the welfare
and comfort OF its employees to this ex-
tent. Let the. merchants who are advo-
eating the half day for the Federal
employees stimulate their request by
saying: I'VE. too. will Join in the Move
ment to give everyone a few hours Ia
themselves each week and, therefore
agree to close our establishments at
| o'clock on Saturdays
Let me say in closing that l do not
| como under the head OF either OF the
above mentioned classes. but ! am In
favor OF a square deal all around.

LESSONS FOR US TO STUDY

Europe is tightening its belt,
training itself to the minute, for the
long struggle that it sees ahead. The
feeling that the war is only fairly
begun is gaining ground. There is
no slackening in the purpose, on
both sides, to see it through to what
is certain to be a bitter end for all
concerned; only less bitter for the
vanquished than for the victor.
II one were to cast about for the
most important single result that
has come to the fighting nations
thus far, he might well fix on the
awakened social consciousness; the
realization of the relationship of the
individual to the community, the ap-
probation that the individuals en-
ergies must be directed so that they
will bring the MAXIMUM Of good to
the community first and to himself
incidentally The community that
lacks social consciousness goes the
other way around; the individual
seeks to improve his own situation
first, and the general social benefit
is expected to come incidentally.
II this war is now half finished, it
is about entering on a phase in
which real, close, definite, effective
community organization will be de-
veloped as it never was before in
this world. In no other way will it
be possible for the nations to sus-
tain the burden. They are all de-
termined to 20 on, and to make such
sacrifices of individual freedom and
satisfaction as may be necessary.
BY the time the struggle ends, Eu-
rope will have learned a myriad les
sons in economy, efficiency, social
cooperation and-let it be said with
as little tremor az possible-practi-
cal application Of socialism.
America will be rich when the war
ends; but it will be sadly out of
training for such a contest as it will
then be called to enter against the
most highly organized society and
industry that has ever been per-
fected. The time to study these
conditions is right now. ~'-r'
The British Board of Trade finds
that prices OF necessaries of life
have risen 81 per cent in the last
year. That is not very much more
than they have risen in this coun-
try. But in England, the govern
ment, with the people back of it, is
taking steps to deal vigorously with
this condition. There must be re-
adjustment Of industrial methods,
wages. distribution and production,
even Of details of consumption, in
order to make the total social pro-
duction serve the community's
needs. England, Germany, France,
are learning how to 70 these things,
because necessity forces them to it.
The United States should be work
ing in the same direction. Methods
applied and found effective in Eu-
rope, should be adapted to our
needs. If Europe learns that GER
tain revolutionary methods are bet
ter, may we feel confident that when
war ends Europe will drop those
better methods, and fall back to the
level Of inefficiency on which it ex-
listed before the war; 1t is at least
a good deal 10 expect. After the
war Europe will need to continue
the most effective methods; we will
need to understand them, because
we must compete with Europe, not
only commercially and industrially
but socially. Is this country doing
its share toward preparing for that
exigency?

coast, as formerly. The local trains
between Glasgow and Williston will
also be restored to service, to do the

appeared before the commission and
complained that much better service
was given these towns by the Great
Northern few years ago when there
were not nearly so many people to be
served as there are today. One o!
the principal grounds of complaint
was the elimination Of Sunday ser
vice on local trains. The commission
insisted that the local train service
when restored should run seven days
week instead of daily except Sun
day. as there are number Of good
towns having no service whatever
