RATES FOR SHAVING
Barbers' Union Makes New Scale, to
Go Into Eject Next
wednesday.

Beginning Wednesday morning the new
scale Of the BARRIERS union will go. into
effect and patrons Of the shops will be
given an opportunity to choose the char
acter OF shave they desire. for the union
has divided the shopS Of the city into two
classes, one where shaves will cost Is cents
and the other where a shave can be Sc
cured for 10 cents. There will be no diff
ference in the shaves, but the c~oncomitants
will vary with the price. II you desire to
have your mustache curled or the super
huous hair removed from your neck the
shave will cost 10 cents and you can have
two warm towels with the process. II you
care not how the hairs on your upper lip
may wander. or have Joined the smooth
faced brigade. the shave, minus all but the
towels. will cost 10 cents. The secretary
OF the BARRIERS union explains the reasons
for the change as follows;
ut takes ten minutes TO shave a man II
you do not have to curl his mustache or
shave his neck. II takes fifteen minutes
to complete the shave II you have TO do
these things. The barber is paid by the
week up to a certain amount and then
receives a commission on all work done
over a certain amount. We have hxed these
prices so tina a man working In either
a 10-cent shops or a l5-cent shop may
make the same amount Of money.
Heretofore a number Of shops have
been doing work for 10 cents for which
other shops charge Is cents. and thus they
have drawn trade from houses which have
paid comparatively better wages. The new
scale is to make all shops charge alike
for the same service. When we first sub
mitted the scale we fixed a price Of IS
cents for hair cutting in the shops whers
Is cents is charged for shaving, but upon
the request OF the proprietors We placed
all shops at 25 cents with the understand
ing that eight downtown shops which have
heretofore charged 10 cents would adopt
the higher scale. This scale will be dis
played in all union shops.
I'm addition TO the change In the prices
the shops which have charged Is cents for
shaving have promised to discontinue the
practice OF issuing tickets at reduced
rates"

south Omaha Police Commits

SOUTH OMAHA. March 30. 1eo3.-Editor
Of The Bee: Referring TO your article.
"Chastising South Omaha" I cheerfully
state with pride and pleasure that the new
school law and IRE and police measures
both originated in the Taxpayers league.
both OF which are calculated TO advance
and improve the social, moral and political
situation In this public school district and
city In general.
The movement in behalf Of these bills has
behind II 9S per cent OF the republican
party. as. you see. only IS or so votes out
Of 1000 we're polled at the primaries held
last week. II has also the very best ele-
ment Of the democratic party's support.
Your reference to Mr.. Van Dusen's valiant
activity in support Of these bills is totally
misunderstood and certainly misoonstrued.
Mr.. Van Dusen is not the father and first
promoter Of these benehcent bills. The
committee from the 7axpayers' league
called upon him and, after ascertaining that
he favored the5e measures, engaged him to
draft the IRE and police bill, as outlined by
the league. Its passage through the legis-
lature and his ~eficient services are fully
appreciated by all those f~svoring the bill,
and they are a legion. II must be remem-
bered, however, tina scores Of our business
men and best citizens have made frequent
trips to Lincoln. for a time sacrificing their
business interests and defraying their own
expenses, to work with our lawmakers for
the enactment into law Of these laudable
measures.
u is high time for our better citizenship
and the people who furnish the money to
run our local and state governments to have
a voice in legislative affairs. Cheap politi-
clans and demagogues have dominated the
public and political situation already too
long. Why, let me ask. does not the organ
Of our grand old party Jump into the breach
and assist to bring about a state OF econ
omy and reform In our local governments?
The great influence Of the daily newspapers
is sought and rightfully expected to assist
in the good work Of improving the condi-
tions OF society and the people. in general,
but how often is the worthy public disap-
, pointed.
No, South Omaha is not being chastised.
Only a handful of the agitators and ONCE
holders are a little Disconnected. but tine
people In general will be radically bene-
hted. D. ANDERSON.

and they bear up we'll and undoubtedly be-
lieve they suffer In a just cause. They de-
serve TO win. What has made me think of
writing this short letter Is to call marked

Among the Great Berlin Workshops"-(Mr.
Carpenters letters are always Interestingly,
which gives the opinion OF Mr.. Cation, the
assistant manager Of the Union Elekteisch
Gesellschaft in Berlin, employing 1000 men,
as to the effect Of employing the men there
by piecework. Mr.. Cation says: THE Ger
mar laborers have not the same Incentives
TO work that we Americans have. The Ger
mai system of employment il bad. Every
thing here is done by piecework, and the
price Is gagged by what a man can do In a
DAY. II he does much more than has been
expected his employers lower the price and
the result Is he has to work twice as hard
for the same money. There is little chance
to rise. The common laborer seldom be-
comes the head OF the shop. and as a result
there is an unexpressed enmity between the
laborers and their masters"
Here is the opinion Of an American man
ager In a large concern away from the scene
Of the struggle here, and who possibly
knows nothing Of what Is taking place.
Such a mans opinion should carry much
weight with 1t, and / would hope It will be
taken notice Of, and for that reason l write
