Salem's downtown streets were
strangely quiet last night as the
early night closing became effec
tive for the majority of business
establishments. Hertofoe Satur
day shopping has continued at a
brisk pace until 9 p.m. Last night
, the t p.m; closing was In opera
tion among fully 95 per cent ot
the reUil establishments. Restau
rants, soft drink places, theatres
and cigar stores are not Included
In the retail closing regulations
adopted during the past week.
A few merchants continued
their protests against early clos
ing yesterday. They declared
their disagreement was tsedv on
a desire to fulfill, rather than
block, the purposes of the N. R. A.
program. . These merchants point
ed out that stores averaged 0
open hours per to this week. The
new schedule makes tor only 54
hours for business a week, and
thus reduces the number of prK
Ina- hours for employes. These
store owners said they were com
plying rigidly with the 40-hour
work week for each employe.
' Twenty-nine members of the
newly formed Salem-Retail Fuel
Dealers' association agreed here
this weekend to raise the price
paid wood cutters for each cord
of wood cut. 50 cents a cord, . Ir
respective ot the scale heretofore
paid. From 75c to 11.50 a card for
cutting has been the prevailing
rate before the increased payment
was agreed upon.
