Hazard Shop
Shuts Down for
Indefinite Period

The r. P. Hazard shoe shop shut
down 1uesday noon for an indefinite
per!od; This encouragement was
MADE known to the employees q few
minutes before noon. This means a
great deal to this city as the weekly
pay role Is about $4,000. It is said
that the reason for this shut down
was fastened by the action of one OF
the rooms who demanded that some
OF their members be reinstated who
were recently layed off. The shop
had announced that they would not
run during the first week of July to
allow the hands to have a vacation.
Now this announcement has set all
TO guessing. 1t is acknowledged that
the work has been and is still a little
slack but when it is considered that
this is the only shop in the United
States that run without a break dur
ing and after the war they ask. Why.
1T is also known that Belfast is also
putting forward every effort to Sc
cure the shop there. wher a branch
is now running and it is also known
fact that other places have made of
fers for the shop which have been
considered. The merchants and all
are aware of this and are putting
forward every effort to keep the shop
here and to avoid all labor troubles
which have been all too many.
