A wide range of activities are COW
cred in the annual report of Presi-
dent James NJ. Lynch of lndianapo-
lis. Chief of these is the fight for
the eight-hour day. which has been
successfully waged by the printers
of the country during the last few
years.
1.-The strike roll has been reduced
to comparatively inconsequential pro-
portions in all but a few Cities says
President Lynch. I'm these centers
of agitation and trouble, such as
Philadelphia, Buffalo, Detroit, st.
Paul and Louisville, we are still
stubbornly contesting for the recog-
milton of the eight-hour day.
One of the important matters to be
considered is the report of the COM
mittee appointed at last years Colo
RADIO Springs convention to devise
ways and means for the establish
ment of a pension system for super
animated and incapacitated mem
berS.
1t is announced that the fight on
the Los Angeles Times, admittedly
the foremost opponent of union labor
in the west, will be continued with
greater earnestness than ever before.
Methodism and not hair tonic that
Is responsible for his dense auburn
locks.
1.-The question of long hair is
delicate one," said the Rev. william
B. Leach, pastor of Sacramento-Bou-
levard Methodist Episcopal church.
I'D like to grow head OF long halr'
but Methodism and hair tonic COM
bined don't seem to produce the de-
sired result. / think / can tell Bap-
fist preacher by his hair cut, all
right"
Presbyterians are not long on
hair cuts, according 10 the REV. lIouis
P. Cain, pastor of Edgewater Pres
byterian church.
"There was time, some years
ago." he said, when you could tell a
Methodist preacher by his style OF
hair cut. He wore Burnsides and
long hair. But | think preachers
have outgrown most Of those styles.
Today it is the man first and the
preacher second with all pastors.
They dress like other men. You
can't tell Presbyterian by his hair
cut
George McWilliams, head barber in
the Palmer House barber shop, who
has had twenty-four years expert
ence as atonsorial artist in Chicago,
says there was time when he could
tell the sect of preacher by his dress
and hair cut. Today he can only tell
Methodist or Catholic priest
"Methodists like their hair cut
long, and almost always wear little
short burnsides," said the veteran
barber. priests always are smooth
shaven and keep their hair short"
THAT preacher would put most of
the BARRIERS out of business or compel
them to undergo pretty thorough
