N urging fhe various ioeal unions
in Grass Harbor County 70 support
them ia their fight o. tAe nen-union
barber shops in Aberdeen, Franz H.
Smith representing the BARRIERS
Union. told members Of both the
Aberdeen Central Labor Council and
the Grags Harhor Building Trades
Council Ct their last meetings. that
the reason the Club Barber shop and
the Dewitt Barber Shop had thrown
their union cards out and declared q
non-nnion shop, was because they
could not make them pay, and the
reason they could not make them pay
was because there were two shops
too many in the city.
Mr.. Smith declared that his or
eanization had been severely crlti-
cized for picketink these non-unlon
shops and that Dewitt had obtained
a temporary restraining order pro-
hitting them merely observing those
who patronlze the shop. .We are
charged with intimidation, obstruction
Of traffic and usurpations ne have
never attempted to prevent anyone
from entering his shop. Although,
We did stop union members and few
others whom we knew personally and
explained to them that the shop vas
unfair to our organizstior.n said Mr..
Smith.
when you were paying BE Tor
'haircuts, the master barbars were paw
ing 35c per hundred for face towels
and 81 per hundred for towels for
steaming purposes. Nov the master
BARRIERS are paying 81 per 100 for
face towels and 50 per 100 for the
steaming towels It was necessary
for the Iaundries to increase their
rates for service in order that the
laundry workers might also have
more pay. When you were paying
Csc to have yeuf hair cut, the BARRIERS
were being paid from $17 to s18 per
week. Today the barber has guar
hntee of $50 per week.
Mr.. Smith asserted that many men
with large families were working for
small wages and had complained that
they could not afford to pay the union
rate. and that if these men would
send their children to any shop in
the city during the day, other than
on Saturday, that the shop would
cut the children's hair without charge.
He also pointed out that about 800
souls in the city Of Aberdeen are
depending on the BARRIERS for the ne
cessities Of life, and II they are COM
PEELED to work for $1s per week
