BARRIERS AGREE TO
5 O'CLOCK OPENING

Richmond union barber shops will
open at 8 o'clock Thursday morning.
Owing to the fact that several OF
the boss BARRIERS thought the ruling
made by the union was unfair to them
slight controversy has existed be
tween the two factions for several
days. At the regular meeting OF the
BARRIERS union, it was decided that
no union barber shops should open
until 8 o'clock in the morning, start
ing Thursday at o'clock. The union
set this hour as it did not believe
that enough business was done a,
this hour to maintain the expense OF
opening the shop.
Some of the boss BARRIERS oppose the
plan, while others favored it. So spe
cial meetings of the BARRIERS union
were called Sunday afternoon ano
Tuesday night to discuss the matter
The union BARRIERS decided to stand
by their ruling and not open until
8 o'clock. Monday night the Boss
BARRIERS met but could reach no agree
ment. 1t was announced Wednesday
that no union shop would be oper
before o'clock Thursday morning.

ART ASSOCIATION
BUYS MORRIS WORK

The Richmond Art Association has
purchased Autumn Pinks and Shad-
ows," by Elwood Morris, local painted.
This is the fifth local artist to be rep
resented in the collection. The Art
Association is endeavoring to possess
in its collection a good exampe of the
work of the local painters. In the COL
lection now Elwood Bundy, Maude
Kaufman Eggemeyer, Frank j. G1rar-
din, Elwood Morris and NJ. T. Nor
dyke are represented.
Marsh in Winter is the picture
that has just been purchased. Other
pictures will be bought in the near
future. Considering the difficulties
under which the association worked
during the war, it considers that this
year has been a very successful one.
Four pictures have been purchased.
including the est. Louis Cathedral,
by Robert Grafton, which was pur-
chased with the Mary T. r. Foulke
purchase fund. They are 1.-THE Red
Bud" by Mrs. Eggemeyer; Marsh in
Winter" by Nordyke, and the recent
addition, the Morris picture. The Nor
ris picture and the Nordyke pictures
are both excellent examples of the
work of these two artists. Both have
been exhibited in Indiana exhibits.
The Bundy-Eggemeyer exhibit has
been taken down. This was one OF the
most interesting exhibits held in the
gallery for sometime. More interest
was manifested in this exhibit that
has been shown for some time. Both
Mr.. Bundy and Mrs. Eggemeyer sold
five pictures each. The exhibit gave
the public of Richmond an unusual OPP
portunity to become acquainted with
the two local painters.
