 ENGAGE IN BITTER WARFARE

War to the bitter end is being waged by the Anchorage barbers, ac- cording to a statement made to the Times of that city by one of the pro- prietors of a barber shop there.
 At a meeting of the barbers held some time ago it was decided that in view of the eight-hour law, which went into effect on January l, and the high cost of living, it was necessary to raise the price of a shave to 50 cents. The schedule went into effect with the new year.
 After trying out the increased prices for the short period of three hours, one barber shop went back to the former price of 25 cents. Then fol- lowed another shop, which now adver- tises the price of a shave as of old, 25 cents.
 It was planned to try out the new schedule for the period of thirty days. If at the end of this period the bar bers were able to outdistance starva. tion the schedule was to be made per manent.
 The barbers in the other shops say they will continue to maintain the new price, although they admit they are doing very little business
