A number of merchants Of the city
are giving Friday afternoon half
holiday to their employees, which is
greatly appreciated by the clerks, but
il has been suggested that a change
be made in the schedule and the half
holiday given Monday morning instead.
1t is argued in defense of this propo-
sition that Monday is usually dull In
business circles, and that clerks would
greatly appreciate the fact that they
could have Monday mornings instead
of taking half day the latter part
of the week which prevents them
from going anywhere to spend the
time off. Just what will come of the
matter is problematical, but the ques
ton is being agitated and those who
are interested believe that the effort
will meet with success.
