There's an item in the news that is
of considerable Importance to the fam
lilies of great many retail clerks
throughout the United States.
A. & P. has granted five-day week.
And this is announced in display ad
vertisements in daily papers. These
do not, however, appear in labor pa
pers. This is to be regretted.
But there is something else to be
regretted.
The A. & P. ads do not say that the
five-day week has been accorded in
agreement with the Retail Clerks
Union
However, we do know that if there
were no union there would be no five
day week. There are a great many
other things that would not be, were
it not for this union and for the Meat
Cutters Unions and the Bakery Work
ers' Union and the Teamsters' Union.
However, even though we regret
that the announcement does not say
that the five-day week is by agreement
with the union, we must not forget
that thousands of A. q p clerks are
union members, working under union
agreement and that the Meat Cutters
enjoy union agreements in great
many A. & P. areas, as do the Bakery
Workers and the Teamsters.
An interesting case history could be
written, showing the progress of a
great merchandising company and the
progress of great group of unions.
The five-day week is no longer a
startling innovation.
1t has existed for years in some in
dustries, as have vacations with pay.
But the break into the retail mer-
chandising field is new enough to be
worthy of comment. 1t is good.
One thing we do know about such
advances. Once gained they are almost
never lost.
In this field the unions have done
magnificent job.
The progressiveness of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen, in the defense proclamation
of policy, this week presented to the
President of the United States, is a
milestone mark in trade union ad-
vance. It will not be lost on employ
ers, either those who still resist stub
bornly, or those who are willing to
march along with labor to a better
world.
The A. & P, announcing it's five
day week, could well offer congratu-
lations to the Meat Cutters and prom
ise cooperation toward defense eff
fectiveness. With it's increasingly in
telligent and modernized policies, the
A. & P. should find itself wholly in
accord with that magnificent labor
proclamation.
Such merchandising organizations
as A. & P. have found themselves sub
jected to many unjust attacks.
Politicians have tried to punish
them out of existence with taxes.
Smaller merchants have sought to
show that the great chain organiza-
tions are enemies of the community,
sapping its money.
The chains have their answers and
they know how to make them. And in
the whole process they have found the
way to many progressive step, one
more of which now is announced.
Many interesting and important
things are happening in these critical

Bedtime Stories
Bv THORNTON w. BURGESS


AS Peter Rabbit sat staring up at
the tiny nest of Hummer the Hum
mingbird which he had just discov-
cred, Jenny Wren came along. Be-
ing quite worn out with the feeding
of her seven babies, Jenny was con-
tent to rest for a few minutes and
gossip. Peter told her what he had
discovered.
Il know all about that" retorted
Jenny. You don't suppose I hunt
these trees over for food without
knowing where my neighbors are
living, do you? I'd have you to un-
derstand that that is the daintiest
nest in the Old orchard. 1t is
made wholly of plant-down and COW
cred on the outside with bits of
that gray, mosslike stuff that grows
on the bark of the trees and is
called lichen. That is what makes
that nest look like nothing more
than knot on branch. Chatterer
the Red Squirrel made big mistake
when he visited this tree. Hummer
may be a tiny fellow but he isn't
afraid of anybody under the sun
Tha bill of his is so sharp and he
is so quick that few folks ever
bother him more than once. Why,
there isn't single member of the
Hawk family that Hummer won't
attack. There isn't a cowardly
feather on him
Does he go very far South for
the winter?" asked Peter. He is
such a tiny fellow, I don't see how
he can stand such a long Journey"
Huh" exclaimed Jenny Wren,
distance doesn't bother Hummer
any. You needn't worry about those
wings of his. He goes clear down
to South America where he has ever
so many relatives. You ought to
see his babies when they hatch out.
They are no bigger than bees. But
they certainly do grow fast. They
are flying three weeks from the time
they hatch. I'm glad I don't have
to pump food down the throats of
my youngsters the way Mrs. Hum
mingbird has to down hers"
Peter looked perplexed, What
do you mean by pumping food down
their throats," he demanded
Just what say" retorted Jenny
Wren. Mrs. Hummer sticks her bill
right down their throats and then
pumps up the food she has already
swallowed. l guess 1t is a good
thing the babies have short bills"
do they?" asked Peter, opening
his eyes very wide.
Yes" replied Jenny. when they
hatch out they have short bills, but
it doesn't take them a great while
to grow long"
How many babies does Mrs. Hum
mer usually have?" asked Peter,
Just two" replied Jenny. Just
two. That's all that nest will hold.
But goodness, gracious, Peter, can't
stop gossiping here any longer. You
have no idea what a care seven
babies are"
With a jerk of her tail, off flew
Jenny Wren, and Peter hurried back
to tell Johnny Chuck all he had
found out about Hummer the Hum
mingbird.
