BARRIERS of Illinois Are Up in
Arms Against Legislative
Measure.
CHICAGO HAS A TEST CASE
Protective Association Has Gathered
Big hund With Which to Resist
License Feature in Trade.

The BARRIERS of Illinois are up in
arms against the barber license law
passed by the state legislature last
June and are about prepared to begin
active warfare against the statute.
The fight will probably commence in
Chicago and States Attorney Way
man will, in all probability, fire the
first gun in the battle.
The combat is to be in the form of
a test case in order that the Fahey
law, which compels every barber in
the state to take out a license, may
either be upheld by the courts or de-
cIared unconstitutional. 1t is expect
ed that Mr.. Wayman will cause the
arrest of some knight of the razor in
order that the matter may be thresh-
ed out in the municipal court. This
will be only preliminary skirmish in
the big fight. however, as the BARRIERS
are planning to make a finish fight of
the matter.
Have Fund for Fight.
The BARRIERS are prepared for any
step which the states attorney may
take, and several thousand dollars
have already been contributed for the
maintenance of the fight. The law
firm of Ledbetter, Carpenter & Exter
has been engaged to fight for the bar
bers. The BARRIERS Protective asso-
citation of Illinois is handling the fl
nancial end of the compaign.
