BARRIERS Of RICHMOND
WANT SHORTER HOURS
Efforts Will BE Made BY Newly
Formed Organization TO Close
Earlier, on Saturdays

Efforts to get all of the barber shops
street, to close an hour earlier on
Saturday nights, will be made within
the next few days by the Richmond
BARRIERS association, which organiza-
ton was formed yesterday afternoon
at a meeting held in Franks shop TIA
East Main street
The meeting yesterday afternoon was
the largest and most enthusiastic one
ever held in this city by the ton
serial artists, there being something
like fifty BARRIERS and shop-owners
present at the gathering. Because of
the fact this organization may be
merely ter porary affair no officers
were elected but j.. A. Braitwaite was
made permanent chairman. Arthur c,
Runge. who operates his scissors and
razor in Franks shop. was made gen.
eral chairman of committees.
1t was made plain at the start of
the meeting yesterday that ii had
nothing to do with unionism, and the
organization is not contemplating
calling a strike or anything like one.
The BARRIERS made It plain that they
are satisfied with the money they are
getting, but are very DESTROYS OF
getting shorter hours, especially on
Saturday nights. At the present time
the shops are opening in the morning
at 1870 o'clock. and in order that
they may get thirty minutes additional
beauty sleep, it is their desire now to
have them opened not before A. N.
While the BARRIERS will not demand
that the doors be closed an hour
earlier Saturday nights. they will
make this request to the shop
within the next few days They will
also make an effort to get the custom
ers to have their work done as early
as possible on this day in order that
the shop owners will be justifiable in
chipping off these sixty minutes.
The ohop-owners present yesterday
seemed to be as much in favor of the
early closing as the men, but they
have made it plain that they can't
very we'll cut the day short unless the
people will have their work done al
an earlier hour However, 1t Is be-
lieved that the customers can be per-
suaded to do this and before very
many days elapse the stores will be
drawing the CLOSED" curtain at 8
o'clock on Saturday nights,
