Two Walk Out;
 Proprietor Says
 Price Cut Cause
EmbIoyes Counter With Assertion That Boss of PariOr Failed to Wait Until Termination of Armistice, Set for Saturday-Bitte Strike War Looms

that union men cannot work in his place, the journeymen officers stated today.
 The two barbers who handed in their resignations to MT Baron are Joseph Renna and Louis D'Am- brose. both well known and prom inent Exchange Place barbers who have been engaged in barbering for many years around the center.
 Mir Baron claims that the req son he lowered his prices is be- cause everything else has come down. He points out that prac- tfcally every wage earner in the city has had his salary slashed and 1t appears only the right thing to do to try to meet the wage earners' pocketbook. He says 50 cents Is a good deal to pay for a haircut and 25 cents for a shave. His new schedule, he points out, 35 cents for haircuts and 20 cents for a shave Is in keeping with present conditions. He also asks why the union did not take similar action on the other union shops that cut their prices on haircuts and slaves. He claims there are a good many shops that have reduced their prices and no action against them has been taken.
 The union representatives claim these shops were not among those who signed the 30 day pledges.
 The whole question is expected to be settled when the mass meet ing of the Master Barbers' and Journeymen Barbers' association is held in Garden hall on August 9th.

The fire that has been shoulder ing beneath the surface in barber ing circles for the past several weeks broke into flame this morn ing when two prominent barbers walked out of Baron's Exchange Place Barber Shop. Different req sons for the walkout were pre- scented by both sides, the side rep resented by the barbers themselves, known as the Journeymen Barbers' association and by Vernier Baron, proprietor of the shop in ques- tion.
 1t is MT Baron's contention that the reason for the walkout is due to the fact that he lowered his prices for l1aircuts and slaves, the new prices becoming effective yes- terday. The journeymen claim the reason is because MT. Baron broke his pledge that he would not take any action in price lowering until a 30 day armistice was ended. The date for the end of the armistice was set for this Saturday.
 The journeymen at a meeting last Sunday morning asked MT Raron to take 24 hours to consider whether he would lower his price and at the end of that time if he decided to go ahead with his price reductions, his membership card in the union would be suspended.
 MT Baron went through with his plans and made his new price scale effective ,yesterday. The union card was suspended which, under the uniof, laws, makes 1t mandatory

NAUCATUCK 3rd Ward Democrats
 To Name Candidate
Want Nomination for State Representative This Year
 Last Week to Pay Property Tax

. Third ward democrats, it is re- ported, are determined to have a member of the party from that ward nominated for the office of state representative when the party caucuses are held in the next two months.
 The Jeffersonians of that sec- tion complain that it is several years since the ward was repre- scented by state representative, while on the other hand the first and second wards have had the hoonrs of naming the candidate for representatives..
 The present members of the legis- 1ature from the borough are both democrats, Hugh Burns, who is now connected with the staet de- partment of labor being from the first ward and Joseph L. Jackson, who has served many sessions in the house is from the second ward.
 It is the belief at the present time that these two men will again accept the nomination if 1t is ten- dered to them. However, according to the political gossip the third ward leaders have already made it known that they want third warder nominated.
 In order to bring this about it will be necessary for the Union City ward to at least capture a part of the delegates to the bor- ough conventoin either in the first or second wards. Overtures have been made lookin forward to such a coalition by third warders, but it Is reported that the leaders from the first and second did not see the matter in favorable light. though the state department de- nies he intends to resign.
 last Week to Pay Tax
 Property owners are reminded that this is the last week in which to pay their property tax due July 1. This tax is 19 mills on the dol lar on the grand list of 1881.
 Collections to date have been up to normal. It is expected that the big rush will be on for the balance of the week. Interest for one month will be added to all unpaid bills on August l.

GOV PINCHOT
 HAS TURNED IN
 NEW SENSATION
Charges That Utility Inter- ests in His State Paid Bills of Public Service Commission Chairman

Harrisburg, Pa, July 26.-(UP) Sensational charges by Governor Clifford Pinchot that utility inter- ests paid bills for w. D. B. Ainey, chairman of the public service commission and a we'll known util- ity expert, were under investiga- ton to-day.
 Pinchot made the charges in a personal appearance before the senate. He demanded Ainey be busted at once from office, and that the entire public service com mission be investigated.
 The charges were referred to the public utility investigating com- mittee. They involved among others, the Philadelphia company and the Mitten interests.
 Pinchot charged that:
 A. w. Thompson, former presi- dent of the Philadelphia company, a huge holding company for utili- ties, paid s3,000 hospital bill in 1926 for Ainey.
 A, B, Millar, representative of Mitten management, paid for trip abroad in 1927.
 Ainey deposited $1s5.oo0 in banks in five years on a $10,500 annual salary.
 The governor previously had charged that Ainey received $15O.- 900 in 15 years from Mitten man. agement.
 He added to this charge the claim that Ainey, in answering the previous charge, has perjured him. self by saying T have never per- mitted any man directly or in- directly to influence me in my pub. lie duties. I have never been and would not be the recipient of any favor, gratuity. gift or bribe from any person or corporation what soever."
 Pinchot announced public hearing August 8 in which Ainey may appear with counsel and an- sWer the charges.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, July 26.-(UP)- Andrew w.. Mellon is on his way home and some doubt he will go back to the Court of St Janies al- though the state department de- nies he intends to resign.
 The suspicion is based partly on negotiations said to have preceded the ambassadors departure for London last winter. A forwarding company, 1t is said, was given the job of packing and shipping his valuable goods" at Q price sup posedly made on the promise that he would come back home within 12 months.
 { Much the same rumor was cir- culated at the time of his depar- ture. He never gave up the lease to his expensive and luxurious Massachusetts avenue apartment. where many of his fine paintings are stored and where he had a wine cellar said to be the envy of Wash- ington.
 Mellon was reported then to have been loathe to leave the treas- ury where he had just made recom- mendations for tax bill. It was the bill which the democratic house ways and means committee scrapped. The bill finally passed, however, was very similar to his.
 At that time high officials were said to be as anxious to get MT Mellon out as he was anxious to stay. Increasingly heavy pressure was brought to bear on him to &C., cept the ambassadorship. For sev- eral days he resisted.
 The break came while he was a guest at 8 very private little din- ner. The only others present were four or five high administra- ton officials. Wherever the con- versation turned 1t finally came back to the question of Mir Mel lons' proposed transfer. It was put on the basis of necessity.
 Finally the secretary gave way to the hammering. Another guest hurried to the telephone, called MT Hoover and handed the phone to the secretary.
 "Tell him you have agreed to go," was the terse instruction. ac- cording to the story, and Mellon, still in somewhat of a daze, gave the word. The next day the an- nounceemnt was made at the White House.
 Vice. President Curtis is going to stop over at home when he goes to. the Olympic games and few residents of Topeka, Kans, will miss the genial handshake of the vice-president, for this Is campaign year.
 Curtis has the reputation of be- ing one of the best handshakers among current politicians. It is q hangover of the days when the race went to the handshaking champion and campaign cigars figured in the jokebooks.
 The power of the handshake will have a chance to prove itself in Kansas. Even republican lead- CTS admit some doubt of the states regularity this year. The Indian vote,j which Curtis is most likely to control. may become increasing ly important And he is a great believer in the handshake.
 "When Charlie gets off the train," a friend notes, "he doesn't miss hand from the station- master to the corner druggist"
 The vice-president will take plenty of hot-weather clothing on his trip west. Mrs Dolly Gam is seeing to that. Hot weather is one of her brothers worst problems.
 Senator "Jim" Davis, repn, Pa, casually referred to as "Iron Pud- dler Jim" solves 1t by not wear ing an undershirt. When he sees a friend perspiring too freely he exhibits a patch of his hairy chest and urges his listener to discard the neither garment.
