BARRIERS STRIKE
TO ABOLISH TIPS
Whiskers Crop Does Not
Seem to Improve, De-
spite WaIkout.

Although anywhere from 100 TO 5000
BARRIERS are supposed to be on strike
for higher wages and shorter hours
there was no unusual parade of whisk-
ers yesterday between Fourteenth
Street and the Battery, the official
walkout zone. No MODS of the un.
shaved charged hardware stores de-
handing safety razors. Barber shops
throughout the lower East Side ap-
peared to be open for business as usual.
The bosses, as a rule. refused to dis
cuss the strike.
1--WE are getting men out of the
shops by the hundreds" said Charles
VI. Fielder, first e-president of the
Journeyman BARRIERS international
Union, who has his headquarters at 175
East Broadway, in the office of Local
TSP.
Between 10 a. m. and p. m. 5000
BARRIERS quit work. From these strikers
we have organized forty committees, of
twenty-five each, to picket the shops
above Fourteenth Street tomorrow.
expect to have 10000 approx
mately all the journeymen BARRIERS in
the city in the ranks within a week.
No offers of settlement will be con-
sidered until Thursday. More than 400
employers have applied here to-day for
terms.
1--WE are striking for minimum wage
of Sl3 week. At present the minimum
in union shops is SIP, but the majority
of BARRIERS work for $3.50 If it were
not for the tips they would be unable
TO live. If we win this strike we hope
to place the barbering profession on a
plane above gratuities. The inter
national organization is opposed, alb
solutely, TO tips.
1--WE are also striking for better
hours Instead of permitting the pro-
prietor to keep his shop open from 6
a. m. to ! p. m. we demand that the
journeymen shall not be compelled to
work more than from s m. to
p. m on week days. We ask that the
closing hour be $3.50 Saturday night
and l p. m. on Sunday. We also say
that every barber should have one day
