BUSINESS HOUSES
OF DISTRICT WILL
CLOSE At G TODAY
For First Time In History of
Region Mercantile Estab-
lishments VIII Start Clos
ing Every Night at 6 O'clock

For the first time in the history OF
the Warren District all of its mercan
tile establishments, with the possible
exception OF two or three, will close
this evening at o'clock and will re
main closed all day Sunday. This is
the result of the cooperative
campaign which has been been carried
Aon by the clerks and theemployers for
ahe last several weeks.
1t has been urged, in the past, that
there is no excuse for the stores re-
naming open after 8 o'clock on Satur-
day evenings. The fact that the shifts
of the mines of the Warren District,
come off in the middle of the after
noon, affording men ample opportunity
to do their shopping before O'Clock,
has added much weight to the argu-
ment of the clerks. The larger stores
were the first to endorse the move
men. and the employees, after some
work. convinced other merchants OF
the stability and reason of their eff
forts.
In one or two instances the mer-
chants have declined to sign the petit
ticn of the clerks. This fact, however,
has not deferred the majority from de-
Gliding to close their places of business.
Following Close on the heels of the
clerks efforts to close the general bu-
siness establishments, the drug stores
have decided to investigate the posi-
bility of closing at o'clock every ev-
ening.
1T is largely a matter of education,
the getting of business houses to
close at any given time" said one
druggist yesterday When the people
understand that 20 get their needs
from business houses they must do so
within certain hours, then it becomes
an easy matter to close the establish
ments.
Il have no doubt but that the drug
stores of Bisbee and, very POSSIBLY, of
the entire district will get together
and close at o'clock every evening.
| can see no more reason why we
should remain open every evening un-
ill 10 o'clock any more so than any 9th
er class Of business. Because it has
been a custom here and in most other
communities does not make it obliga-
tory or essential. ! feel certain that
the general public will approve of any
action the druggists may take along
the line of closing at an earlier hour
and giving their employees some time
ror leisure"
Last night the clerks of the district
met at the Y. NJ. c. A. and, after re-
viewing the business of the meeting,
passed a vote of thanks to the mer-
of the district who have coop
Grated in the o'clock closing cam

Dear Sir:-Would you please pub
lish in the columns of your worthy pa
per the following in answer to the let
ter published, on this day, September
IL.
l wish to notify the public of the
unfair way, the committee appointed
to circulate the petition, for 6 o'clock
closing, 6 days a week, including all
day Sunday, have treated this firm. Mr..
Jackson. who appeared to be the
whole committee of six, came to me
for my signature to close at o'clock.
He was met as a gentleman and told
that | would consult the remaining
members of The firm and that he would
be given an answer that same day But
he never came back. Instead of that
an attack came out in the Bisbee Ore,
by some unknown party. stating that
the firm of Caro- & Co., refused to close
and also stating how small we are
making ourselves.
Very evident he was not standing in
front of a mirror, when he made that
statement to the Ore. or would have
never used the word small. We were
willing 20 close at and still are, but
will ask this worthy Citizen. to retract
his statement of the 9th and 9TH OF
this month, that was purely uncalled
for We are always with the major
ity and want the public to assure them
selves of this. Now if the committee
will answer we will be pleased to COM
ply with the majority.
