settlement of the differences be-
tween the boss BARRIERS and the
journeymen is apparently as far
away now as II was when the strike
was declared the first of the month
The boss BARRIERS have agreed to sec
a week wages and fifty per cent over
S3s taken in at each chair. but this
the j-ourneymen have fatty refused
and through their organizer. NJ
chael s. Warren. who has been here
for the past week or more. want s27
per week and fifty per cent over $40
taken in at each chair. The bosses
are standing firm.
They say that If the journeymen
do not return within a reasonable
time they will have to declare their
places vacant and seek other help
in their shops. The journeymen in
their demands are asking the bosses
to restore the twenty-five cent
shaves which they reduced to twen-
ty cents at the time of the strike
