that after February LIST. regardless OF
the action taken by the local. they
will charge thirty-five cents for 4 hair
cut instead OF twenty-five. The other
tonsoriai artists claim they will on
unue with the present price list.
The boss BARRIERS in their contract
with h local reserved the right TO
charge whatever prices they desire,
though II has been the custom to pre-
sent any changes in the price list TO
the union for its sanction. AS long
