BARRIERS Union Decides To
Shorten Working Hours

Members Of Richmond Barber's
union at a meeting Wednesday night
at Luken's hall, decided that all union
barber shops of Richmond would not
open until s o'clock in the morning.
starting May 1. Adolph Fritz, secre-
tary of State Federation of Labor and
James C. Quinn, representative of the
United Hatters of North America, ad-
dressed the BARRIERS.
After much discussion of the num-
her of hours which BARRIERS are forced
to work, it was decided by the BARRIERS
that as the hour between 7 and 8
was the time when shops had the least
to do, union shops need not open until
o'clock every work day. This order
takes effect after May l.
Fritz, speaking to the BARRIERS, out
lined the work that the labor fedora
ton had already done and what was
yet to be done. He said that the fed
Grafton would approve of the bill re-
curing each barber to pass quail
fed examination. This bill is known
as the BARRIERS license law. 1t was
turned down two years ago, by the
state legislature.
James C. Quinn was present to urge
the buying of union-made hats. He
spoke on the work the Hatters' union
had been able to do in the last year,
recalling the fact that panama hat
makers had joined the Hatters' union
last summer.

A COPY OF general order 201 regard

1918. During this period the division
gained q distance of seven kilometers
over a country which presented not
only remarkable facilities for enemy
defense but also great difficulties OF
terrain for the operation OF our
troops.
Eight Hostile Divisions.
ell The division met with resist
ance from elements of eight hostile
divisions most of which were first
class troops and some of which were
completely rested. The enemy chose
to defend its position to the death. and
the fighting was always of the most
desperate kind. Throughout the
operations the officers and men OF
the division displayed the highest type
of courage, fortitude and selfsacrific-
ing devotion to duty. In addition to
many enemy killed, the division cap
tured one thousand four hundred and
seven enemy, thirteen 77mm. field
guns, ten trench motors and numerous
machine guns and stores.
iii. The success of the division in
driving a deep advance into the en-
emy's territory enabled an assault to
be made on the left by the neighbor-
ing division against the northeastern
portion of the Forest of Argonne, and
enabled the First Division to advance
to the right and outflank the enemy's
position in front the division on that
flank.

noted in this division a special pride
of service and high state of morale,
never broken by hardship nor battle.

Declines rs Per Cent
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Stocks of
bituminous coal in the hands of in
dustrial concerns, public utilities and
the iron and steel industry declined
% per cent, or about eight million
tons in the three months from jan
uary l to April 1, 1919, the fuel ad-
ministration announced <odey. Retail
coal dealers had forty per cent less
on April 1 than on January l, but this
amount was one-fourth as great as
their sales for the first three months
of the year. 1t was stated that such
stocks were considered large for April
and were the result of the large ac-
cumulations last summer and fall, and
the small deNland during the months
of open winter.
The decrease in stocks of bitumi-
nous coal in the hands of consumers,
including the railroads, did not exceed
100000 tons in the last three
months, the fuel administration an
nounced. The drop in production dur
ing the same period was 81, 100000 tons,
as compared with the same months
of 1918.
