THE WORKER’S POSITION IN REGARD TO THE WEDNESDAY HALF-HOLIDAY. All employees in establishments \vhich work under the Factories Act have their half-holiday absolutely fired by Act of Parliament on the Saturday. They have no choice. As a consequence, "factory workers, artisans, mechanics, aud all similarly employed naturally look to Saturday as their one great opportunity for shopping. And why should they be deprived of d? Do their wives want to lose the Saturdays? Do they themselves .want to come home at half-past five, wash, dress, and hustle down town on the Friday night? And who DOES want it? Certainly not the vast number of assistants who are engaged in the George street shops, they know full well that were the Saturday afternoon and evening’s trade lost, a stump in assistants would soon rise But WHO WANT’S THE COMPULSORY SATURDAY, when the present Wednesday half-holiday is working so well ’ AS A WORKER, YOU DON’T. So jl™dly just let that fact be known. STICK TO THE WEDNESDAY, and put down yonr heel on this stupid attempt to deprive you of your privileges,
