A to SUNDAY Shaving.

Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The Barber's Union had it's drag
net out last Sunday. The union II
bound to protect the bosses who OBJ
serve the law and punish those who
insist on violating the Sunday closing
code, so the practice of Sunday shaving
must either cease or they will be ar
rested every time they are reported.
Some Of those who were arrested and
fined called upon q number Of the Cen
trail City BARRIERS and tried to persuade
them to keep open until nine o'clock -
q retaliation upon the BARRIERS union.
They were turned down in great shape,
however, and now II IL said they are
racking their brains to concoct some
scheme to get even with the boys. Will
they do? Well, nit.
Yours truly,
JOHN VOLKNANDT.
