SHAVING FoK FIVE CENTS.
AND 4 GLASS OF LAGER REER OR
SEGAR THROWN IN.

AND GLASS OF LAGER REER OR A
sEGAR THROWN IN.
In New York the Union BARRIERS held
meeting to take action against the cutting
down of prices in shaving and hair cut
ting on the part of non-union men.
1t was asserted that there were over
twenty shops in which shaving was done
for five cents. Indignant members relat-
ed.that not only was shave given for
five cents at some ofthese places, but a
cigar was thrown in for the purpose of
drawing custom. Other members men
toned places where shave and glass
Of beer were given for five cents. Then
member exhibited printed circular, in
which "a good shave with good cigar"
for ten cents" An excited united barber
in the back of the room said that he knew
shop where 'schooner" of beer were
given for five cents. This was confirmed
by another united barber, and was regard
ed as the crowning atrocity. A section
was adopted in the constitution, prohibit
ing all BARRIERS keeping, or working in, the
five cent shops from becoming members
OF the association. 1t was also decided
that no boy who learned his trade in a
five-cent shop should be admitted to
membership, or be allowed to work in
the shops of members. In the discussion
it was suggested that the keepers of the
five-cent shops be persuaded if possible to
conform to the customary prices. The
members said that if persuasion would
not do, the organization would set up
shops in the vicinity of the refractory bar
bers and shave for three cents, or even for
nothing.
