SATURDAY NIGHT CLOSING Addrt-NM to tli I'ulillu liy Six lcndiut Itetnll I'Mriim of Thin tllly. To the Citizens of Omaha and Vicinity : The growth of our city has been rapid , so rap hi Indaed that wo still unconsciously nilhero to soma of Uio customs which pre vailed when wo were a town of a few thou- taud Inhabitants. Onu of those customs la the keeping open of our stores on Saturday evening until 10 o'clock. This is done at a great sacrifice , of energy and considerable expense on ttie part of employers and em ployes , nnd yet.no one haa bad the courage or forethought id suggest a change In keep ing with the chdnged conditions of our city. The conscquenco rls that we nro somewhat behind the times and In the matter of early closing behind our slater cities , both cast and west. A new law passed by the legislature of AJcbraska , through the Influence of the labor bureaus of the state , requires that all women employed in public work should not labor more than ten hours in any one day and this law has brought to our attention In a practical way the fact that keeping open on Saturday evening necessitates employing both our men and women for twelve hours. This la much too long for a day's work for either men or women , Therefore , after careful and aprloue con sideration , we , the undersigned merchants , have come to the conclusion that the only proper solution of the matter Is to acknowl edge the justice of the law and consequently close our places of business each evening of the week , Including Saturday , at 6 o'clock. It might too possible to arrange with the women employed by us BO that we could evade the law and have no trouble so far as the state was concerned , but we think the law a Just one nnd that It Is In keeping with the humane tendencies and spirit of our progressive ago. We therefore feel It our duty , so far as la possible , to conform with Its spirit , as well as its letter , and so close our business at 6 o'clock , thus securing to ourselves und our employes , male and female , the needed rest , leisure and recrea tion which was the purpose of the law. In doing so we need tbo co-operation and assistance of the public , and we therefore respectfully and earnestly appeal to you to sustain us In this movement. You can dose so In many ways. It is , Indeed , almost wholly In the hands ot the women of our city , and we are confident that when the matter is brought to their attention they will realize and appreciate the duty and reeponslbllltjr which rests upon them , We appeal to the women of this community on behalf ot the young women who are. ' com pelled to work for a living , and on behalf ot all others , employers and employes. You can assist us in this without any actual sacrifice or self-denial , by arranging to make your purchases during the day , be fore 6 o'clock , including Saturday. Fledge yourself to do so , and as a matter of honor , and for the good of those who serve you , keep faith with jour own sense of right. That Is all. We do not ask you to boycott anyone , or to change the channels of your trading , If you do what we ask then there will be no one to boycott , for without trade no one will keep open evenings. Early closing need In no way Interfere with your convenience , and you should esteem It an honor to be able to help a genuine1 reform with so little trouble. Come early and do your shopping by daylight. Help us to conform with the spirit of the law which you , through your representatives , have enacted , and help our employes to obtain the fullness of the boon which you have thus provided in thin law. Wo guarantee to you the prompt and care ful attention that comes naturally from those who have had proper rest , leisure and recreation. W. it. BENNETT COMPANY. THOMPSON , BELDEN & CO.

WAR AMONG THE BOOTBLACKS Owm > r * of Sldcnnlk KtnndH "Will VlKorouwly Ht-Nlnt Attriiipt til I > - IIIINI ; I.let-line Vuv UIMIII Tlieni. When the city council gave ear to the request of Homo of the bootblacks of the city for the passage of an ordinance to li cense the sidewalk chairs the members had little idea of the real Issue Involved , which Is nothing less than the leadership of the "profesb , " which two prominent owners of "parlors" are struggling for. There is a division between the Hide- walk bootblacks and those who -work Inside , but the lines are not strictly drawn , as one who may be said to 'bo ' the leader ot the anti-license faction is the owner of an In door establishment , One of the bootblacks who appeared before the council list Monday to ask for tbo paceage of a license ordinance works In a shop owned by Herman Cohen. His reasons , as published at the time , were that the street workmen came to tbo city in the summer , paid no rent , and simply took away what money they could make during the season of the year In which they could keep their stands In the open. It was urged that they wcro not permanent resi dents of the city and that the bootblacka who wcro permanent residents needed pro tection from them. It was thought that a license fee would put them more nearly on an equal footing with the men who paid rent the year round and remained In the city through the dull winter season , The men of Cohen's shop claim that It Is the Journeymen bootblacks , and not the pro prietors , who are demanding the license ordinance , and that the proprietors have no Interest in the matter whatever. On the other band the sidewalk faction claim that they do pay rent Tor every stand in the city , and pay In many cases a high rent. They deny alee that they arc foreigners , and claim the same right to do business without a license as is en joyed by the owner" of parlors. Mogy Hern , ateln , the owner of a parlor , wlio Is on the side of the sldowalk men and against the ordinance , Bays that when the men from Cohen's shop came to him with the propo sition to demand an ordinance of the coun cil ho refused to Join the movement and Is strictly against It. Ho Mays that ho IB a loser by reason of 4(10 ( sidewalk stands , Just as every owner of a parlor IB , but tint ho ' docs' not consider that fact an excljo for trying to drive others out of business , "IUa and let llvo" Is the position be takes. Polish la another clement In ( lie compli cated situation. Doth Cohen and Bernstein we agents for polish and this fact Is prob ably the explanation of their struggle for leadership , although the Cohen men claim that tbo fact that Ccdcn is an agent for pollih proves that be could not bo Interested in driving any bootblack out ot town. Co- hen's adherents soy that the council will have to pass the ordinance , while Mogy Bernstein 1 Just an sure that they will never be allowed to.
