.kEOKUK MERCHANTS
TO CLOSE EARLY
Nine O'clock is Hour Placed for End
ing of Day on Saturdays, by
Those Meeting
Yesterday.

TO HELP SAVE THE FUEL

heokuk merchants are going to
close at nine o'clock Saturday even
angs commencing Saturday of this
week, and continuing until April 1.
The move is made in the interest of
fuel conservation, and also out of
fairness to the clerks, who have
hitherto been kept on duty long
hours during Saturday.
A meeting of the leading retail
mel chants Of the city was held yes
te- day afternoon at five o'clock at
which it was decided that the clos
ing hour would be nine o'clock. All
of the merchants who were present
at the meeting were quite willing to
try out the nine o'clock closing,
until April 1. and a motion to that
effect was carried unanimously.
While all of the retailers of the
city were not at the meeting it is
quite generally believed that they
will all follow in the lead of those
merchants who attended the meet
ing, and will bring the shopping day
to close at nine o'clock Saturdays
hereafter. The movement was start
ed in the interest of fuel saving, and
also to help out the clerks. and to
make the day lighter for them.
The new closing order will make
it possible for people to shop early
in the evening, and to go to amuse-
ment places later in the evening.

Hayes of the United Mine Workers of America, in reviewing the activities of the organization at the biennial convention today, urged the delegates to ratify the wage agree mcnts entered into at Washington with the bitlminouS and nnthra cite operators and sanctioned by tine fed eral government.
 The agreements, now in effect call for increases in WaGcS and extend tho present contracts two NcurS, from April l, I9l%.

 The report reviews the litigation in which the union is involved, partic- ularly the West Virginia case wherein the organizations of the United Mine Workers of America are cnjoincd from soliciting employees of a coal company to become members of the organiza ton. The supreme court of the United States sustained the in junction.
 President Hayes also drew the at tention of the delegates to the con- tempt proceedings in the United States supreme court, growing out Of the West Virginia case and recom- mended the appointment of q s2e cial committee for formulating policy to meet the issue.
 The report recommended the build ing up of the organIzation's finances for the purpose of creating defense fund for use after the war if need be, and urged that something should be done by the union to assist foreign born members to become American citizens. He rocomm ended the ap- pointment by local unions of commit tee on naturalization to carry on this Ork.

BRITISH ENGINEERS
 HARD HIT BY GEDDES
Return of Wounded Men to the Front At
 tempted.

London, Jan. 15.-The reference made in the house of commons yes terday by Sir Auckland Geddes, min ister of national service to the engi- neers attempting to force the govern ment to conscript their fathers and return wounded men to the front has focused attention on the attitude of engineering and shipbuilding en- ployes along the Clyde, where the trouble has been most active.
 Sir Auckland declared that many young men in essential industries had acted as though they held a privileged position. He said they must share the burden with the others.
 At meeting in the Clyde district on Sunday the engineers and ship builders decided to strike if the gov- ernment manpower bill was not with drawn before the end of January and a peace conference called.
 The rebuke given these men by Sir Auckland is endorsed generally by the press and members of parliament.
 J. R. Macdonald, labor leader and who has just been elected from the Clyde. says that the view of the work men was that they had a definite bar- gain by which it had been agreed to give the government certain support and the government was now trying to repudiatc it's side of the bargain.
 The press condemns the malcon- tents. The Daily Mail describing the threat tostrille as a betrayal of free dom and stahbing of sons and broth CTS in the back. A liberal member of parliament is quoted as saying:
 '"Thc men want an excuse to end the war and this excuse is as good as any other"
 In the Hobbies of parliament the opinion is expressed that if a strike occurs it is not likely to last long, owing to the strikers lack of funds.
