ing to statement by local unionists
only about twenty shops have refused
to sign, about nine of which have never
been union shops.
The main point of contention seems
to be the uniform closing hour provided
for in tire contract. The butcher shop
owners are said to have agreed to all
the other provisions of the new con-
tract. The union cutters claim that
the same closing clause has been In the
contract for the past three years. The
shop operators are willing to let the
union men all quit at a certain time,
but insist upon the right or Keeping
their shops open longer and operating
