BARBER SHOPS

The barber shops throughout the city
were closed yesterday. PatroImen were
around 10 see that they closed at IL
o'clock Saturday night and remained so
until this morning. This order was pro-
mulgated late Saturday afternoon by the
police commissioners and was brought
about by members OF the BARRIERS union,
who have made several complaints to the
board OF police commissioners In the last
few weeks that barber shops were run
ming wide open on Sunday and that MEM
bers OF the union were forced to work or
lose their positions. These complaints
were followed by others from proprietors
OF shops who did not wish to keep open
on Sunday and whose trade was being In
terfered with on that account.
Chairman Luther assigned several pa
= trolmen to the task OF investigating the
complaints and last Tuesday, at the reg.
ular meetin OF the board, the matter was
brought up for action. The evidence
which had been obtained by the plain
clothes men was submitted and after a
short discussion II was voted to order
Chief Egan to see that all shops were
closed
At an early hour yesterday morning
patrolmen visited all of the shops I'm the
city and the proprietors OF any that were
found open were told that thew must at
once close the doors or prosecutions
would follow. The order was generally
compiled with.
