BARRIERS
Disagree on Price.
Many Of the ProprietOrs
Are Opposed
To Any Increase In Price
Of Shaving.
Two Shops Started tuesday to
Charge 15c.
But 1t Is Improbable That All viii
Follow Suit.

For the past two weeks petitions
have been circulated among the bar
Der shops of the city for the purpose
of learning the sentiment of the pro-
prietors towards establishing Is cent
price for shaving.
A Democrat reporter was informed
Wednesday morning by well known
barber that there is n great difference
Of opinion in regard to changing the
present price of shaving, and that a
number of proprietors will probably
refuse to increase the prices to 10
cents
A few days ago several shops in the
business portion of the city tackled up
cards announcing that on and after
January LIST, 1901, IL cents would be
charged for shaving, but only two are
carrying out the announcement and
asking for the extra nickel.
Many Of the proprletors who are
opposed to asking the increase be-
lieve that it will result in loss in
stead of gain to their incomes. Their
customers are largely worlingmen re-
ceiving small wages, cannot afford to
pay more than the present price for
n shave. II 1t Is increased, many or
them will buy razors and shave them.
selves, and others who are in the habit
of getting shaved three and four times
week would try and equalize things
by entering the shop less.
Some time ago the local union of
Journeymen BARRIERS started the move
ment to have the union shops estab-
lish II new schedule and charge ;
cents extra for neck shaving. The
Journeymen Bnrbers claimed that on
busy days when the average customer
wanted his neck shaved, II amounted
to considerable loss In time to the
employers which could be equalized
by making n charge of cents for
this work, The movement met with
considerable opposition In the union,
but finally passed, and all OF the
union shops in the city are now charg-
ing this extra price, This resulted
in the attempt 10 establish straight
price of 10 cents for II shave,
The action of the Rarhcrs' union does
not meet with the approval of many
of tho lenders of other labor organi-
zations. however. They claim that
II Is poor policy for the BARRIERS to as
sIst In raising the price OF shaving
when their wages or salaries are not
increased In proportion.

How Fast Can We TrAvelH

The announcement that company has
been formed in Germany to build system
of electric railways On which 1t Is expected
that passenger trains will be run at a
speed Of from 100 to $50 miles an hour.
suggests the marvellous possibilities Of the
immediate future in the way Of rapid tran
sit. Even at the rate of transit to be
achieved under the German system a re-
markable transformation will be effected
in the methods and customs of civilized
life. With trains moving at the rate Of
$50 miles an hour. all the region about
New York within radius extending to
Albany would be brought within the range
Of suburban residence. Boston would be
brought within less than an hour and a
half of New York, Washington within q
little more than that time, Buffalo less
than three hours. Chicago six hours, and
San Francisco less than day. What such
marvellous achievements IN passenger
transportation mean for the Industrial and
commercial interests of the country can
be family imagined. When 1t becomes pos
sible. for example. for a New York man
to make the round trip to Chicago within
twenty-four hours, and have a consider
able period of time for business included. it
may be readily conjectured that the COM
mercial interests CT the country will be
affected by the change to a very large and
serious degree.
