About one-third of the journey

morrow morning unless the differ
ences existing between their union
and the Master BARRIERS associa-

night. AS a result of the trouble
there is a prospect of the master
BARRIERS declaring open shops and
calling off the guarantee alto
gether. compelling BARRIERS to work
on straight percentage basis and
filling their places with outside
help. in case they refuse to accept
the terms.
On the other hand, the journey
men say they will open shops on
their own account and say they can
beat the masters to finish by this
plan. They claim the masters were
brought to time in this way at Ia
coma, Pittsburg and other places
where the BARRIERS had trouble. An
other point the journeymen claim
in their favor is that before the
union was organized Spokane was
the cheapest barber town in the
country. and that the master bar
bers were anxious to have them
organize. Benson being the most
prominent advocate of the union
among the masters. They wanted
the scale put in force to drive ont

they will guarantee but SIG a week
