CIerk-Item.
 The Edwin H. Hills Manufacturing company on North Washington street has gone on shorter hours. The plant IS operating on a nine hour a day schedule, and five days a week. They had formerly been operating on the usual 10 hour day with a half day on Saturday. The factory is engaged in small hardware manufacturing and novelties. Probably a little more than 40 employees will be affected by the new rules.
 MT. Hills stated this morning that he felt sure the plant would go back on its former time within a short while. He felt that the manufa curing prospects would be brighter by the first of the year. The cause of the shorter hours is due to the general slackening of the industrial factories throughout the country. There are sev- eral large orders on hand and no fear of an entire closing need be felt Mr. Hills also thought that better times would be forthcoming after this period of slackness,x and the working man would. be in a better position than ever.
