TT WAS not a strictly Ameri-
L can institution.
In fact, the private shaving
mug was always more general
in England and Germany and
other European countries than IT
was in the United States.
But we doubt that any Euro
pean ever reached the height of
mug adornment tn at was
achieved by a gentleman Of the
hot sport type back in our old
home town of Pueblo who had a
reproduction of a famous nude
painting on his shaving mug.
One day the BARRIERS wife
came into the shop and seeing
this painting was so outraged
that she grabbed the mug out OF
the rack and broke IL over her
husbands skull
She said afterwards she had
been wondering for months why
her husband was answering her
in a preoccupied manner.

Old Timers When Sore
At Barber Took Mug Out
BY DAMON RUNYON

many gentlemen could manipuf
late the old-fashioned razor
without hazard TO their outlets
and when a visit to the barber
was a daily rite with nine out
of 10. The standard price of
a shave in those days was Is
cents.
The private mug and brush
was a sanitary measure and
barber would not have thought
Of using one gentleman'S private
shaving utensils on another
gentleman.
Many of the gentlemen even
had their private razors in their
favorite barber shops. some
separate razor for each day in
the week.
Sanitation has advanced 10
such an extent among the ton
socialists that the gentlemen no
longer fear contamination, and
while you still see a private mug
and brush occasionally in
barber shop, the old mug is
mainly a collectors item.

WIIEN a gentleman got sore
w at his barber in the good
old days for shaving him too
close, or for any other reason,
he not only stalked out of the
tonsoriaf parlor in high dudgeon.
but also sent around later for
his private shaving mug and
brush.
That was his notice TO the
barber that all was over be-
tween them.
The mug and brush went 10
some other shop.
OF course this was an cN-
treme step. as gentlemen did
not often change BARRIERS in the
private mug era.
Once a mug went up IN the
rack along with the other mugs
in a barber shop. it remained
there for years, sometimes even
passing from one generation TO
another.
These mugs were Of heavy
china and were almost always
embellished with the name of
the owner in old English letter
ing in gilt.
We saw couple of the old
time mugs in Spinrads on
Broadway the other day.

cording TO statement of Richard T..
Leonard. Ford Division director
OF the CLIO auto workers union.
The UAW-CIO has just complet-
ed negotiations. under the terms OF
its contract with the Ford Motor
Company for wage increases at the
Rouge plant" Leonard said. The
wage rates negotiated there. which
amount TO a total of $50, 900 a
year. are TO be automatically ap-
piled 10 spending classifica-
tons in every Ford plant In the
country where a majority OF the
employees are members Of the JAW
Go.
In the fourteen Michigan plants.
where the National Labor Relations
Board has ordered employe cleo
lions for October %, this will mean
annual wage increases totaling near
ly million and quarter dollars.
Under the UAN-CIO contract
Leonard explained further, these in
creases will be retroactive 10 June
20, 1871, the date the contract was
signed.
This will mean, for example that
an employee in the Ypsilanu plant
who receives a IS cents an hour
increase under the UAW-CIO con-
tract viii get a check from the com
pany for approximately sos, since
he will have worked approximately
700 hours at his old and lower rate
since June %.
An important principle OF col
lectiye bargaining is involved in the
elections, Leonard explained the
principle that employees working for
the same corporation achieve better
results in negotiating for improved
wages and working conditions when
they are organized into the same
corporation-wide industrial union.

ton
The Ford Motor Company Itself
has recognized the importance and
the soundness OF this principle OF
collective bargaining. On the day

company made this statement:
On May 26. Ford workmen

the taxi as 1t stopped before the
club building On the street was a
crowd Of people, a large number
Of which were guests from the
Cromwell party; others were early
delivery boys and late stragglers.
All were gawking upward and
laughing. Ylena quickly stepped
from the cab and looked upward
also. But she did not laugh. Even
at that distance, from the side
walk to the roof-top Of ten-story
building, she recognized Tate.
From an impromptu rope, made
Of black ties from the mems din
ner suits, and several women's silk
stockings, he was letting down a
bottle OF champagne. Someone in
the sidewalk party would take a
drink, then Tate would yank it out
Of reach, let It down again teasing
ly-lower lower, lower-an inch at
a time, until another fortunate per-
son would get his drink. Those
maneuvers were repeated several
times. Roofing friends stood back
Of Tate in the wide window, en-
couragingly showing second bot
tie to the people in the street
Where are the police ?" she
irately demanded Of her cab driver,
but he did not answer. He was ex-
citedly hopping over, after his own
free drink.
Ylena made leap for the build
ing and entered the private ele-
vator, reserved for club members.
Upstairs, she had pretty much Of
a fight getting through the crowd
around the window, but finally
reached Tate and tugged angrily at
his arm.
He was quite intoxicated. Oar
ling" he exclaimed with delight,
and threw both arms about her.
Ylena had a vivid picture Of
what had happened to the partially
full bottle OF wine he had been
hosting.
In a barely audible voice she
pleaded, Lets get out OF here,
Tate"
Members Of the gathering who
mad given way as she battled TO
reach Tate, now surged forward
again with persistent cries to con-
tinue the fun. Ylena felt suffocated.
Again she tried to get Tate to
leave. II she could get him away
from this yelling, bawdy crowd,
perhaps she could make II clear
about Vernon Stones telephone call
and how imperative It was that she
go to New York Immediately. Still
Tate might not understand. He,
undeniably. was in an extremely
foggy condition. She made one
more attempt at gentle coercion,
but Tate unceremoniously pushed
her aside, as he accepted in high
good humor, the second bottle Of
champagne.

Gingerly he let the fresh bottle Of
wine slide over the window ledge.
Welcoming cries rose from the
street participants.

York in less than six hours and I'd
like to tell you why"
Vie had hard time focusing his
eyes. With a limp pointing finger
he motioned a friend to take hold
Of the bottle string. then, both arms
free, tried to pull Ylena into his
arms.
