THE HALF-HOLIDAY QUESTION.
[TO IDE EDITOR.] Sib,—l am informed that the question Thursday or Saturday for the half-holiday was settled at Carterton in favour of the former day by a small majority at a meeting of loss than twenty includingemployes. Also that the meeting was assured that both Masterton and Greytown would fix on Thursday. As Greytown has decided upon Saturday, there is to bo ar.othermeeting at Carterton to consider tho question before it goes to thoir Council to be confirmed, and from what I have heard Saturday is very likely to be tho day there, and I trust it may be the one selected hero too. If all the important affairs of our life, the millions of the world's business, has to be suspended at one o'clock on Saturday, and that is a fact that cannot be disputed, surely the question of selling a little extra tea, sugar, or drapery, should bo capable of being arranged in the same way. Your correspondent " Impartial " in Monday's Daily Times, is correct when he says in effect "Fix Saturday, and those who want to do business may safoly be left to tako care that it is done. Yours,etc., PROGRESS.
