Secretary L. A. Sprague pre- sided and afte few opening re- marks as to why the merchants should recognize the need of coming to a unanimous decision in the mat- ter of closing their stores and also outlining the faithful work which the uniform hours committec had done, in submitting this schedule the meet ing was then opened to the discus- sion of the hours to be observed. The schedule was adopted unani- mously as follows Tuesday, Wed- Thursday and Friday, gener- al and miscellaneous stores close at 6 p. m., on Saturday at 10 p. m.; eve- nings before holidays observed, close at 6:30 p. m., except evening July 4th and Thanksgiving; ber 18, 19, 20, close at 9 p. m.; De- 23, 24, close at 10 p. m.; July 9th to September 15 p. m.; close Lincoln’s birthday, day, July 4th, Labor day Thanksgiving and Christmas; Good Friday close at 12:30 p. m. Stores will be open on Washington's birth- day, Saturday, February 22. The question of Monday night clos- ing was left until the last in that any merchant who might come in late could have a volce in the mat- ter. Considerable opposition was brought out Ly the stores, who justly felt that it was for their best inter- ests to close every Monday evening, and though in the opinion of the re- tailers gathered there had been con- iderable concession made by those favoring the opening, the clo stores could not see it in this light. A vote was taken at 11 o’clock and the decision was unanimous as far as the votes taken, that the recom- mendations of the committee be put into effect. This would provide for stores to open up every Monday eve- ning until 9 p. m., except during the months of July, August and Septem- ber, when the majority of stores agreeing to the schedule will close at 6 p. m. Secretary Sprague very clear- Iy outiined the real need of the re- tail merchants of the city getting to- gether. If all merchants live up to schedule adopted by their own repre- sentatives, competition then becomes a matter of business initiative and does not flavor of deceit or mistrust. New Britain needs this among her mercantile stores and unless it is cor- rected and each merchant feels that all want to play fair, harmony and progress will be sacrificed until they do. The committee will v tomorrow and review the opinions advanced and will decide what changes, if any, will be recommended to the directors of the mercantile bu- reau for their adoption. New Britain is too large a city to have this strong foeling among its merchants and it is that those who oppose the of the committee will sce the right light and come In with the ma- Jority.

Reports are to be made dails by the canvassers to their team cap- tains and these will be given out so that the progress of the campaign ill be known at all times. A house- to-house canvass will be conducted by the canvassers and pledges taken in this way During the past voung women have been served daily at the newly established cafeteria in the Y. W. C.
