THE NETWORK STATE ASSOCIATION THINKS L
WOULD DO AWAY WITH MANY ALLEGED
ABUSES IN THE TRADE.

meet In convention in Syracuse to-day. The con-
vention was called by W. E. Klapetzky secretary
of the Journeymen BARRIERS National Union, and
its object is TO draft bill TO License BARRIERS This
contemplated bill provides that all seeking to be-
licensed BARRIERS shall an apprentice
ship OF three years and then pass examinatio
before authorized commission. The members
of the State BARRIERS Association declare that
their business is being ruined by amateur BARRIERS
who shave for five cents and cut hair for - cents
The Italians. they declare, responsible for the
cut in prices. There are places. they say in this
city where 4 man can not only get shave for
five cents, but have his shoes shined in the
bargain. The owners of well-apponted barber
shops declare that they cannot furnish their places
in the best style nay The high rents deman ded
and good wages to their men. and thea shave for
10 cents They insist that If all BARRIERS had to be
licensed the public grounds for grumbng and
complaint would be taken away. and that the
beauty OF mankind in general would not be daily
marred by cuts and court plaster. II Is also said
tina. the barber business is flooded by half-taught
BARRIERS from barber schools. of which there are
several in this city ana other parts of the country.
one of the BARRIERS said yesterday that whenever
an Italian barber cuts mans hair he marks him
for future identification.
The admission of women to the ranks OF jour
neymen BARRIERS will also probably be discussed at
the Syracuse convention. although Mr.. hlapetzky
has already announced thar the Journeymen Bar

THE GENERAL TRUST COMPANY OF ILL

NAMED AT 100000


NAMED AT 100000
Chicago, Jan 1D-Articles Of incorporation
were secured yesterday at the State Auditors
office at Springfield fer what is designed to be
the largest banking institution west of New
York City. The concern is styled the General
Trust Company OF illinois, and it's capital stock
is named at $J.OO0O0O The Incorporation fee
of SJ.2I5 is the largest ever paid into the State
Treasury under the new incorporation law.
The incorporators named employees in the
office of the law firm Of Goodrich. Vincent &
Bradley.
Ex-Judge William A Vincent declined last
evening To shed any light the big corpora
ton beyond saying that it is a bona fide enter
prise, and that it intended to be a NAM
moth affair.
Il am sorry that the news Of this has got
out said Mr. Vincent as the gentlemen who
are back of the enterprise ar. not ready to
make their plans public. However. I can state
that the institution is genuine. The mere fact
OF such large capitalization fee being paid
in cash Is evidence Of the sOundness Of the COM
pany. Articles of incorporation state it is de-
signed TO carry on a general banking business
under the laws of tic s ate of Illinois"
