PUTNAM CLERKS WANT HALF
HOLIDAY ALL YEAR
HAVE AN INFORMAL ORGANIZATION CALLED THE
PUTNAM RETAIL CLERKS ASSOCIATION
Representatives Appear Before Merchants Committee of
Chamber of Characterization Being Circulated
Among Store Keepers.

The retail clerks of Putnam jump
ed into the limelight last Saturday
morning when it was learned that
they had held meeting in the Blan-
Ghetto store on Main street and talk
ed over matters concerning their wei
fare. All kinds of stories were cur
rent regarding what the clerks pro-
posed to do, but it is now authentical-
ly stated by reliable men who attend
ed the meeting that all they seek at
present is the continuance of the
Thursday half holiday now given dur
ing July, August and September.
This they want continued throughout
the year, pointing opt that other en-
ployes get a half holiday out Of the
six working days.
At the first meeting there were 32
present. There were no women
clerks at the first meeting, but at a
subsequent meeting held in Forest
ers' hall Monday evening it was es-
timated that between rs and 80
clerks attended, including both men
and women.
Following this meeting delegates
went to the rooms of the Putnam
Chamber of Commerce and there met
members of the Merchants commit
tee. These delegates were George
Lewis, Jr., Armand Farley and d. B..
Gilbert. Those of the Merchants
committee present were Chairman
Warren Ames, who called the meeting
to order at $40 o'clock, w. J. Bart
lett. Alfred Bonneville, Ralph Bugbee,
Miss Katherine Byrne, Oscar Dugas,
Omer Milot, Edward w. Mullan, Will
liam st. Onge.
Mr.. Lewis acted as spokesman for
the clerks and stated to the committee
that he represented the newly formed
Putnam Retail Clerks Association and
that this organization had voted unan-
imously at a meeting just concluded
to request Thursday afternoons off
all the year round. He estimated
that there were 32 clerks present at
the first meeting, all being men,
while Mr.. Farley estimated that there
were between rs and 80 clerks pres
ent at Monday nights meeting, in
Guiding both men and women.
Mr.. Lewis spoke Of the fact that
workers in all other trades had one
afternoon off week and received
higher wages than do the clerks.
Mr.. Milot asked whether if Thurs
day afternoon half holidays were
granted it would be an inducement to
hold them, and if that would satisfy
them.
Mr.. Lewis thought it would for the
present or until other conditions
arose. He did not think that this
would permanently satisfy the clerks.
He said he had talked with several
merchants and understood that most
merchants were in favor of Thursday
afternoon closing.
Miss Byrne said that she had been
told that Saturday night closing re-
Gently adopted by the stores OF Provi-
dence had badly hurt business in the

stores were springing up and taking
the trade, remaining open while the
other stores were closed.

A REAL BLOW AT LYNcH1NG.

CONGRESSMAN Frederick w. DalllnSer, vi
Massachusetts, has introduced a bill when, II
if becomes law, will strike straight and strong
at lynching. 1t will mean that the state OF the
officers of any state in which lynchlng taxes
place by mob of three or more persons, anu
where the citizen who is lynched is not given
protection. will be considered as denying TO
such citizen the equal protection OF the laws ana
violation Of the peace OF the Umteo osates'
Also every person taking part IN the mop by
which a citizen is put to death shall, under Tue
Dallinger bill. be deemed guilty OF murder, SUP
iect to prosecution and, if convicted, subject 10
nnni shment under the laws Of the state In which
the Iynching occurs Any state in which lynch
inos occur would be subject to a forfeiture OF
five Thousand to ten thousand dollars, tor the
use of the dependent family or next OF KIN OF
the victim. Officers of the state who fail to
prevent lvnchings when they know they are
liable to take place and prosecuting ofhcers VINO
fail to prosecute to judgment under the laws Oh
the state all persons participating IN such
mob. would be deemed guilty OF an o1fense
against the United States. Those found guilty.
wonld face punishment of not more than hve
years imprisonment or flne not exceeding i've
thousand dollars or both.
# is by laws such as this that the Will OF a
great majority of the people OF the nation can
he asserted to stop this abominatlon which not
only persists but tends to increase. The issue
is not partisan, even though majority Oh Tue n
otfenses are committed in southern states IL
is one to enlist the cooperation OF every good

DR.. MAC DoNALD's PROPOSAL.

DIR. Carlos f. Macdonald, the noted aIenlst'
Of New York City, has proposed notapie
change in the method of our court procedure
where insanity pleas are offered, and 1t deserves
the attention of all intelligent people. Ihere is
already wide interest in this matter OF INSANITY
Meas and considerable doubt in the minds OF
many people as to present methods OF dealing
with such cases Dr. MacDonald's proposal IN
brief is this: that the jury in any case where
a defense based on plea of insanity is offered
mass simply on the facts of the guilt OF the dc
fendant: in many cases guilt as to act is admit
fed and in others the evidence is not involved
and the Jury would be called upon to weigh
straight statements of fact; that when the guilt
as TO the act be established the question OF the
sanity of the defendant be tried before legaiiy
constituted tribunal of incontested fitness and
impartialitv; that the verdict, if insaniy is es-
tablished be in accord with British custom,
equity but insane,' instead OF our illogical
..not guilty because of insanity"
This. as Dr. Macdonald argues, will remove
the present practice of arraying before Jurles
experts employed by both sides in the case and
presenting exactly opposing views. Few Jurles
are influenced in their verdicts by the expert
aspects of the evidence; it is rather by other
factors that opinions are swayed. patholog-
zeal matter needs pathological tribunal. There
seems economy Of time and money and better
probability of Justice in such method as Dr.
Macdonald suggests or in one modelled on ms
suggestion.
