divided by partisan lines. IL 10 declared
that all attempts TO mix politics with the
unions has resulted disastroustly TO the

therefore to be the future effort of the
council TO provide the mesns whereby the

not forget their promises after the cleo

Fifteen -cent shaves' is the war cry Of
an organization formed at the Denison
House barber shop last night. and known
as the Bari bers' and Employees Association.
There were present at the meeting repre-
sentatives from the nine largest downtown
shops, and officers were elected and plans
for an aggressive war prepared. The Off
Gers of the assOciation are: George Fate
president. Willis Kersey vice president, @.
G. Schmidt secretary. and @. l.. Knox
treasurer June has been decided upon as
the day when they will inaugurate the war
upon moderate prices at least that
is the intention at the present time.
Those persons who wish to avoid the
rush of Saturday night will be compelled to
pay q cents for the luxury of Sunday
morning shave. The BARRIERS say that their
rents are so high. and shop expenses so
great that there is absolutely no profit in
the business at 10 cents per shave. Nr.
Knox, in speaking Of the organization last
night. said that il would not amount to as
much to the customer as did the present
system. Said Knox: ~ man comes into o
shop and gets q shave. and pays 10 cents for
II. He gives the porter 10 cents for brush
ing bis clothes" Under the proposed new
system the proprietor will get the little
odd change that used TO 20 70 the porter
in tips"
The BARRIERS say that. If they succeed in
establishing the higher prices. tho wages of
their workmen will be increased.
