Interesting facts in connection \\'ll‘|| he adoption by the Chamber of Com- e of a schedule of hours for the 1 stores of New Britam are con- 1 in a letter sent oui today by ry<A.“H. Andrews to the mem- | sdoption _of -.the new schedule. Part of';the letter follows The purpoSe of this movement is apparent to every live merchant, for j conditions have.been such in the | past..that neither the proprietors of the stores, .nor - the trading publi knew when the various lines of busi ness were supposed to be open. Betore cach holiday, 1t has been the practice for the merchants to call one another in an attempt to learn what others intended to ao, with the invariable .result..that the hours of opening and closing were never uni- form, and the public never knew what to expect, The resuits of the investigation of | rour committee siow that this chaotic | i.cond Dritain, and other city in much more uniform a New Britain. Adoption of this new zchedule will result in the elimination of all con- fusion and_ place the whole com- munity .in“a position of knowing fur( the entire vear just when the stores will be open, and when the trading “can and' cannét ‘be done: It has been impossible to prepare a schedule satisfactory in every detail to every individual for, as always, differ. but it has been the pur- se to produce a plan which in each detail has the support of the majority of the merchants. This_ has been done ana the assur- ances of those who disagreed with some of: the details that, notwith- tanding, they would support the plan agreed to by the majority, is most gratifying and places the success of the plan beyond the possibility of a’ dcubt. Methods of trading like most other acts: of -human beings, are those of habit and it is certain that as soon as the public becomes familiar with the plan, confusion and inconvenience will be reduced to a minimum and all will l\L well satisfied. * It now only Temains for those mer- chants . who believe in New Britai ard are dependiiig upon its prospeérity znd the growth of its retail business 10 give this plan their support and a fafr trial? & . Z J It'is desired to ‘emphasize the. fact that' .the stores shoul(l close to new K¢ timestate) '1he chedulel’ Also that all_custo; s entering the store ‘befm‘etlflmthfle ‘should bg/sérved, even 7ihough 1t ‘requires thé attention of the clerks beyond closing hour. It is within the power of the retail rierchants of New Britain to greatly increase loc the line of co-operation or team work. New . Britain., merchants have been quoted many times as working less in an those in any other city 6. 'If thig has been so in ast, now is the time to change and adopt-the other plan of co-opera- tion, which without. fail, always pro- duces more profit. It should be understood that it is not the purpose of the Chamber of ommerce to force merchants to do ‘nything against their will, or attempt tc run their businesses ror them. It is, however, organized for the express purpose of assisting all those engaged in business to more profitable and sat- isfactory results. Attention is ""¢dlled to the facts covered by the ruling of the attorney general in regard to exemption from the fifty-eight hour law of minors and wcemen employed in mercantile estab- ments between the dates of Decem- 17 and 25. Exemptions are only allowed when seven full holidays with pay have been allowed during the vea That this applies only to the regular and generally observed holi- and sugh other days as are ed by a general cessation from on the part of employes of an establishment. Keeping open the e allowing the | v-eight hour law to a.holiday, is not sufficient.
