There seems to be a fairly general Idea, snysii the X.Z. Times, that on the afternoon at least of election day it will be compulsory upon shopkeepers and even factory owners to close their premises and give all their employees a holiday. This impression, however, is quite wrong, foi a Times inquirer sfiwona remfw dscrl xzfifl vbgkTA TAA was informed by «u oflicial of the Labor Department on Tuesday that there is absolutely no compulsion in the matter. In the case of the majority of shops, for instance, it is optional for employers 'to close, at 1 p.m. on election day in lieu of .the regular half holiday, as this will be regarded as quite sufficient compliance with the provisions of the Act. In other eases, however, when- Arbitration I Court uwards are in. rorce, shopkeepers .will have no option in the matter, but will have to observe the holiday therein provided. All that will be necessary for factory owners to do will be to nee that all employees arc afforded a reasonable opportunity up to one hour in length of visiting the polling booths and recording their votes without any reduction in wages. Intimation to th'j foregoing effect is being sent to all factory inspectors.
