A MOVEMENT TO RELIEVE BOTH Standing From Morning Till Lunching in a Cellar —The quent Pleas of Shoe Clerks for Early Closing. The ladics of Women's assembly, No. 0379, Knights of Labor, duving the past few days have taken a most, decided interest in the hardships that surround the pathway of the workine girls, and espacially the clerks and shop girls of the city, One lady, who is a prominent officer in the association, s terday : “It is an outragzo upon humani these girls are compelled to endure such gre: hardships. Our assembly has made o thor- ough canvass of the sitaation and we find nearly two thousand young girls in Omaha whoare compalled to toil from ten to four- teen hours per day six days in the weel. We don’t object to the hours they labor if they were well treated and received fair wages for their services, Now e for instance the girls in most of the stores and see what they haveto do. At7:30a. m. a y oung girl com down town, and five minutes later she is be- hind the count where she is constantly on her feetuntil 6 o'clock _at night, and fre- quently two or three hours later. If a girl at- tempts to rest, by leaning against the counter, she receives a severe reprimand, and if the called into the 1discha ged At noon the girls in many of the fashiona- Dle stores ave given fifteen minutes for lunch, but what a lunch it is, not that_ there is an, thing wrong with the quality, but the place where it Down in the basement of tly every store in the city there is an un- occupied room, dimly lighted and without ventilation. In this place, call at high noon and you will find any where, depending upon the magnitude of the store, from five to twenty young women, leaning against the wall, ov sitting upon the floor, devouri cold Tunch. When this is finished th in at their places inthe palatial sales when weary, footsore and despondent, they are expected to smile upon customers and ré ceive the insults of shoppers for six hours more. This thing is repeated after day, weel after weel and month after month, and never a hand is raised to help the poor young creatures who are giving their lives to” their employers, receiving but little better treat- ment than the beasts of burden. “With these girls,” said the lady, “the wage question is another matt that must receive the attention of our union.

At the meeting held last we members were admitted, and neerly double that number of applications for membership filed. Most of the applicants are young ladies Who are employed in the stores, shops and factories, who believe their condition will be benefited by placing themselves under the protecting wing of the Knights of Labor, who ave pledged to look after the welfare of this sister organization as watchfally as after their own. fifty new Tourteen Hours a Day For two successive scasons the clerks in the retail boot and shoe stores of the city have endeavored to prevail upon their em- ployers to close their places of business at 6 o'clock p. m., ut least during the summer months. Two years ago the clerks prepared and culated a petition, which was pretty gen- erally signed; but, as one or two of the lead- ing fivms failed tolive up to the agreement, the experiment was not tried. Last year, as summer approached, not i couraged by their former failure, the clerks again made an_ effort, to bring about the r form, but again their work went for naught. Some of the firms would not enter into the compact, und for this reason no results were attained. This year, for the third time, the men come ngly to the front and ask their employ- s to grant their request. Last week o petition was circulated among the retailers, and with put few exceptions, was signed, most of the merchants fecling that when their men commenced work at 7 in the morning and labored until 6 o'clock in the evening, their interests were being served as fuithfully as they could demand. To get an expression from the clerks upon the subject of closing representatives of the various houses were interviewed yesterday and found to be almost a unit in favor of clo .

Of course, the clerks are for ea osing and, to make up for the three hours, we would be given, we would be perfectly willing to work much harder during the day.
