WITH OPEN SHOP
National Hotel Is Running Bar
Der Emporium Again.
Union Is Now Working on Com
promise Agreement.

The National hotel barber shop
opened this morning with a full sum-
mer crew, five men, and in a Few
weeks two more BARRIERS will be at
work in the shop Horace Hum
phreys, manager, stated that the shop
would be an open shop in the future.
Il don't care if they are union or
non-union men just so l can keep
the shop open to accommodate my
early and late transient trade" said
Mr.. Humphreys
The manager of the shop came
here from Wichita and is a man who
has had years of experience in run
| ming one of the best shops in that
city, according to Mr.. Humphreys.
The shop opened at o'clock, half an
hour before union men will put a ra-
zor on a customers face. and it will
remain open later than union shops,
Mr.. Humphreys announced.
Hours No Longer.
''The hours will be, no longer for the
| men," said Mr.. Humphreys. They
them to take care of my transient
trade coming in and going out on late
and early trains"
Matthew Langhart, secretary of the
BARRIERS local union. admitted today
| that several plans were being formed
| thru which it is hoped a compromise
might be made with Mr.. Humphreys.
| Langhart admitted that there was a
difference of opinion among BARRIERS
as to the business of Humphreys de-
mand for special hours on account of
| the hotel trade.
= However," said Langhart "a ma
| jorfty of owners have been against the
IL o'clock closing and favored the 10
O'Clock closing. Also a majority of the
BARRIERS were not in favor of working
| until IL O'Clock on Saturday nights
Humphreys Suspected Plot.
At the time the union voted the 10
! O'Clock Saturday night closing, Hum
phreys declared it was plot on the
part of owners of other shops to get
| him in a row with the union and
| force him to close shop. Threatened
with strike September 1 when the
! 10 o'clock closing hour became effec-
/ tive. Humphreys found Saturday night
that only three BARRIERS were working,
and he declared those three had other
jobs lined up and were telling GUS
toners where to find them. So Hum
phreys paid them in full and told
them not to come back. He closed the
shop and It remained closed until to-
day
'I thought I would have more diff
| ficulty than I did in finding BARRIERS,
said Humphreys. That was the rea-
son 1 announced the shop wouldn' t
| open until September l."
