BARRIERS AGREE
ON WAGE SCALE
Journeymen and Bosses
Compromise on Wage
Scale Question.
HALF DAY THURSDAY
Agree to Switch Half Day Off
From Wednesday to
Thursday.

Fears that there might be bar
bers' strike in Kenosha, similar to the
one of several years ago, WHICH fears
were aroused several days ago when
the journeymen BARRIERS presented
their revised scale of wages to the
bosses, were dispelled Tuesday even
ing when a compromise agreement
was reached by representatives of the
boss and journeymen BARRIERS.
Under the compromise agreement a
scale has been adopted for the coming
year which has slight increase over
the scale of last year but which does
not carry as large an increase as or
iginally sought by the journeymen.
The new wage scale sets guarantee
wage of $25 a week with So per cent
of all over $33 The old scale was $25
a week with 80 per cent of all over
$34. The scale sought by the journey
men was $50 guarantee with so per
cent over $40.
The agreement carried with it a
compromise on the proposed changes
in working hours. Under the new
agreement all union barber shops are
TO close at noon GA AnuAS uoyS, az 90
o'clock on Tuesday evening and at
eight o'clock on all other working
days except Saturday when nine
o'clock is the closing hour.
Previously the half holiday taken
by the BARRIERS has been on Wednes-
day but it is believed that change to
Thursday will mean increased revenue
both for the bosses and for the jour
neymen.
Representatives both of the bosses
and of the journeymen declared today
that the possibility of strike had
been most remote all of the year and
that compromise had been anticipat-
ed by both sides. The agreement ap-
peared to please both the bosses and
the journeymen.

Children Locate Him
Thru Police Help.
ARE REUNITED TODAY

On June H.. Jay Blay at New York
City, got a chance to come to the
west and got job on a farm. His
expenses were paid as far as Chicago
and he left. He was bound for Ke-
nosha. He did not have enough money
to defray the expenses of his wife
and three children, but his plucky
wife said to him when he left, Don't
worry. We will join you there. I've
always wanted to take long walk
ing trip and it will do the children
no end of good"
On June IS, Mrs. Blay and the three
children, Selma 16, Jack IL, and Le-
Roy z, all set out with their faces
westward bound. Meanwhile some re-
verses met Blay. He did not get the
job near Kenosha that he had ex-
pected, and when Mrs. Blay and the
children arrived ahead of schedule on
Tuesday evening at SO p. M, they
could not locate husband and father.
All morning today Sergeant of De-
tectives Meissner made the rounds of
the city with them trying TO locate
Blay. They came upon his footprints
for there were several places where
he had worked where he had told men
about his brave wife and kiddies who
were. following on foot.
Word was left at a restaurant at
the corner Of Howlsnd avenue and
Park street, where it was said that
Blay sometimes came for his meals,
that his family had arrived. This
noon Blay CHANGED to step in. He got
the message and fastened to the po-
lice department, where the family
fell upon one another with joyful
embraces.
Mrs. Blay said that she had $50
when she left New York. She and the
children had gotten lifts" all along
the way, and walked also from time
to time. At one time they walked %
miles at a stretch, but never more
than that at once, for the seven year
old could not endure more. They sold
copies of song for ten cents each to
defray their expenses. They arrived,
looking sunburned and healthy, none
of them the worse for their adventure.

arguments will close the trial of Will
liam Darling Shepherd for the Staying
with typhoid germs of William Nelson

be made, it was indicated, but no time
limit for them was set The demand
for the death penalty for Shepherd,
made by George E. German, first as
sistant states attorney, on the heels
of the accused's denial of all the
charges against him, will be reiterated
by prosecutor Robert E. Grove, just
before the jury begins celebrating on
his fate.
When Mr.. German concludes, at
torneys William Scott Stewart and W..
w. O'Brien will speak for the defense.
Charges Coldly Calculated Murder.
The death of young McClintock af-
ter he had made Shepherd his chief
heir was called q "coldly calculated,
brutal and atrocious murder" by Pros
ecutor German in asking the jury to
impose the supreme penalty.
He summarized and analysed Shep-
herds life as it had been detailed on
the stand a short time before by the
defendant.
Mrs. Shepherd who burst into tears
yesterday when German said she had
been used as tool by Shepherd in
keeping Billy from marrying before an
opportune moment for Staying him
arose was not in the court room to-
day She was in the criminal courts
building before court opened but
would not listen to Germans arraign-
ment of her husband.

the evidence connecting Faiman with
The case, and justified it as borne out
by other links in the circumstantial
chain.

fate, or discredit that testimony
and free him as victim of an
equally diabolic conspiracy was the
strange plea of William Scott Stew
art, chief of defense counsel, for
William Darling Shepherd today.
"If you gentlemen think this
defendant went out and talked with
Faiman, hang him." shouted Stew
art at the very outset of his ar
gument. "He didn't have any busi-
ness talking with Faiman."
Faiman, however, he painted as
a vulture, quack doctor, the low
