CLERKS, MERCHANTS
WILL DISCUSS HOURS
AT MONDAY MEETING
Retail Employees Agree Regard
ing Wants but Propositions
Offered by Various Business
Houses Are in Variance


In an effort to reach an understand
ing and agreement satisfactory to
both sides, five members of the exe-
cutive committee of the clerks union
will meet with representative mer-
chants Monday night for a conference
regarding the proposed new scale of
hours and conditions offered by the
clerks. So far seven local business
houses have signed the argument and
are willing to stand by 1t.
Although the retail clerks of the
city have come to an agreement re-
garding their wants. the lack of or
ganization among the various kinds
of retail business houses has resulted
in a different proposition from nearly
every different businessman who has
been approached. Some think they
will lose heavily II their stores are not
opened by 1880, some object to .
hour day. some want to keep open la
ter than $3.50 Saturday nights and
other considerations are offered.
Monday nights meeting will be an ef-
fort to explain fully the union offers
and attempt to bring the merchants to
an agreement among themselves.
Members of the union point out
that IL all houses agree alike on
opening and closing hours, none will
suffer. They assert that their re-
quests are reasonable and that few
cities. small or large. open their shops
before 8. In most towns the Saturday
evening open has been done away
with entirely.
The clerks had a closed meetinR
last evening at which time they took
mp their requests and outlined plans
for Mondays meeting. They are
hoping for a favorable report from
Mondays meeting.
