WOMEN TO JOIN
 v BARBERS' UNION
Membership Assures Ample Protec- ton and Numerous Other
 Material Benefits.

~On the first of the year the women who have become proficient in tonsor-
 a1 art as cosmetic artists, beauty ex- perts, hair dressers. etc., will be elf gible to full membership in the Journ- eymen Barbers' Union.
 | At the recent convention of the 1 Journeymen Barbers International l Union at Indianapolis an almost un- anin1ous vote permitted women bar bers to enter the union. The change in the rules of the union, goes into effect January 1, 1925.
 Among the advantages the women barbers who will become eligible on January l, 1925, to join the Journey men Barbers' Union, will gain, the following benefits merit attention:
 Enforcement of the union wage scale and fair working conditions
 Sick benefits of $10 a week from the International Union. Sick benefits of S a week from the Local Union-a benefit that probably will be increased to $10 week. Death benefits of $100, if decea sed has been a member but one year, 1 Gradual increase of death benefit according to years of membership.
 Death benefit of $500 at the end of 1 Is years of membership,
 The sick benefit is payable for l6 weeks of any one year, but limits the liability of~the organization to the class of disabilities to which men and wom- en are subject
 May Retain Membership as Employer. l Another change which was made at the convention permits a journey man barber to become a boss and still retain his membership in the or ganization If he feturns to the trade as a journeynan, the union restores to him the rights he has gained through length of membership. A special card Is issued to him during the period he is active as an employer of other barbers.
 Here Is a distinct benefit to the journey1nan barber who opens his own shop and who may later return as an employee
 About 35,000 women barbers in the United States are now eligible to mem bership in the barbers union Their pay will equal the wages of the men.
