Io a Boycott.
AtiantA <'«pit*>L Yesterday own
ing nt n prh-ito resident, « very in
portaut nm-ding wnn held by the inosf
profiainnnt ladien io Atlanta
The object of the meeting w«< to
di’K’uiui a question of much iii>|>ortan< <-
end whether it would be advrisble to
reeort toe lioycoft in older to iinpic
the morchente of thin city that they
were in car newt
The hoxteHH who calle.l thia m- -t
--ing together st tier residence aaid
that she had a letter which ah< wanted
every lady in the city to r aI, that
she waa sorry that it had k-'onie her
duty to demand the mi r< hanta of
Atlanta b> reform, but aince it was an
act which waa to lie eeeri m the largeat
store* in the city, ahe did not heaitate
to denounce them. The painful
suffering of my eex caused by thia
rule is great, and I will proceed to
rea<l the letter. I have prepared,
hoping you will all agree with me
w hen I have finished
In some of the largest dry goods
houses in this city the proprietors in
employing female help give the em
ployees to understand that they will
bo compslled to stand on their feet
without a moment’s rest during the
business hours in which the store is
kept open Now these employers
will require their female help to
remain standing whether busy or not.
No scats are allowed behind the coun
ters for rest during idle moments
From half-past seven in tlm morning
until 2 o’clock, they stand up behind
the counters, fearing to so much as
lean on the shelves n moment for a
brief rest One hour they are al
lowed to rest and cat their dinners.
When the hnnds show t hat I odock
has strived, they are again required
to resume their standing , ositioiis,
not daring lobe crught in any other
for five long Lours, as they would
forthwith be invited by the floor
walker to go to the office mid get
their pay, and their places are declai
ed vacant.
Ladies, this is my honest convic
tion. I am willing to t ike a vote
either by acclamation or by ballot.
Her friends rose at ones and unani
mously agreed that such treatment of
their sex would no longer be tolera
ted.
Ono of the Indies got up and
recited a very pathetic story.
Last summer in the l itter part of
July, I was in one of the large drv
goods house in this city making
some mnall purchases, when the
young lady who had charge of the
ribbon counter fainted 'Die floor
walker came up and asked what was
the matter, aa several young ladies
had, as soon ns the young lady fainted
quit their work and come over to
see that their companion did not
suffer for attention. Well, two weeks
Inter I was again in that large store
and saw several new clerks, and just
before 1 had finished my purchase
one of the young ladies, who was
clerking there the last time 1 wns in
the store, camo tupping in. I asked
her where her friends were, and she
aai<l they hud nil l>een discharged for
the time they lost in waiting on their
companion, who fainted in the store
one day when the lady was present
1 took this young lady home with
me and gave her a position ns seams
tress in my family, and she has been
there ever since
Uii» lady had no soouer completed
her illustration of the cruelty these
young ladies were subject to. than
eeveral other equally aa annoying
had been related by othei's pres
ent.
Ous of the ladies drew up the
following agreement and contracts,
which was approved by all. iyid which
will be presented to the merchants
for their signaturea at an i.idy
date:
\\ e, the undersigned merchants of
Atlanta, do hereby pledge ourselves
to agree mid comply with the request
of the majority of the ladn > of this
city:

matter to hi - employer.
"Suppose the Loaned men refuse
. io sign this agreement,?’’ inquired a
young married lady, “what shall be
done '
'Boycott! said the lady who waa i
actin'/ as president
