Shopper Aaked to Aid Storekeepers la Ohserraace of Strr I.awa Relating; to Honrs ef Service. SALEM. Or, Iec. . (To the Editor.) I want to beff t&ace in your valuable paper for an appeal to the public on a matter of much more importance than many as yet think. It is the matter of early holiil.iy shopping. There are very few who have not heard the appeal from many sources before, but nmny. very many, have not been moved by it as they should. As Labor Commissioner, charired with the protection as far as possible of the workers of Orecun, 1 add my voice to the appeal to every one to shop early. Do your shopnins; early in the month, early In trio week, early in the day. Observe all three of these Im portant points and you will do Justice and mercy that will bo appreciated by thousands of overworked saleswomen and salesmen, and by thousands more who realize the importance of such rtton. 8hop early and In broad daylight. Don't allow yourself t lancer with the thoughtless throns; after ti e even Ins; shadows becln to fall. Do this and the fervent "God bless you" will 5prlnu from the hearts of tens of thousands of shopgirls ready to collapse fro:n the fatiicue of the day of the hardest kind of work. Have you sy Idea of the work of both brain and body of the average saleswoman, particularly in the city or larger town? I dare say you have not not one In SO of you. On their feet all day. runnlns; hither and thither, harassed by the whim and often by the rebuke of all classes of men and wom en In all stasres of nervous tension. A more fatisrulnir occupation Is unknown. Think of It. please, and lend your rea sonable assistance by formlnir habits that will add Just as little as possible to the general strain. It Is. at these rush seasons when the Incentive is itreatest to break the law frovernlns hours of employment- And this is natural. Merchants strive to please their patrons and to accommo date the public In every way. Surely the public, also, has some responsibil ity. If the law Is violated, those charged wth It enforcement must act or be Justly censured.
