it was decided to extend the time for
closing the barber shops at o'clock
every night except Saturday. until Mon
day, August 10th. 1t was formerly de-
rid"d to start closing at O'Clock next
Monday night. The change was mad"
TO give the public one more weeks notice.
l The journ"ymcn BARRIERS are much en-
courngcd over the success of the mov.-
| mcnt. There have only been few en-
poying BARRIERS who have refused to
close their shops at s o'clock. The of-
forts Of the BARRIERS to get shorter day
has attracted much attention and nearly
every patron Of barber shops in the city
wishes them success. The obstinate
stand of several of the boss burhcrs is
being commented on and many men all
over tn" city threaten to withdraw their
cups from any shop that refuses to
grant the journrymen BARRIERS just rr.

City AGAINST Country.

John W. 'Bookwalter of Ohio, be-
fore sailing for the United States
recently, spent a few days in London
after two thousand mile bicycle
trip through southern Europe,
during which he traversed Italy al
most from end to end, crossed the
Apennines, went over the Saint
Gothard range and wheeled over the
mountainous roads of Switzerland.
Mr.. Bookwalter spent the greater
part of his time living among and
closely studying the peasantry, and
be is thoroughly convinced that a
crisis is imminent between the urban
and rural populations of the world.
In the rise in the price of grain he sees
the beginning of a struggle of the
agricultural element against the con-
centration of capital in cities.
This movement, he believes, will
commence in America, where, he de-
clares economic conditions are in
ferior to those of Germany and
France, especially the latter, which,
he maintains, is the soundest country
in the world, owing to the distribu-
ton of wealth between the agrarian
and metropolitan classes.
