THE HALF- HOLIDAY.

TO THB EDITOR.

Sib, — As one fully competent to judge I fully eadorae the remarks m yodr leading article In Monday's issue of the " Guardian," aud connider It would only be jaet and fair to the employees if the five gontlemen who advertise would sub* atautlnte their statement by giving a few nsmas of customers who find tbe halfholiday Inconvenient, During the time the half-holiday has been Id foroe I have oarefully wktohed reiults. I find that no Inconvenience his been oaosod to any oastomer, In fact tha publlo h»ve given It their hearty support. The employees by their striot attention to the wants of oastomera have at all times conducted themselves In such a maunet »s to e»ro tbe appreciation of the publlo, who consider that they are fully deserving of tbje half holiday. I am a staunob supporter of the movement, it Is a step m the right dlreotloa, not only now but la the years to come. Ratnomber parents your boys and |t'l aro to follow In our footsteps, alto possibly the children of the five gontlomen who have ndvertlsed may have to fight the battle between labor aud capital. Thanking you Mr Editor, [ lameto., ; Lohdonkb,
