BARBERS STRIKE TODAY;
REFUSE TO TAKE WAGE CUT
If you happened to see a man
with long hair and long flowing
whiskers, do not think he Is from
Sacramento, Cal., training for the
celebration for the 49ers, to be held
in ttfat city shortly. He is not, he is
just one of the victims of the bar
bers* strike. The journeymen bar
bers of the city went out on striko
this morning and it is not telling
when the strike will endr although
the boss barbers are standing alone
beside their chairs. The strike ef
fecting about twenty-ftve shops
throughout the city was declared
this morning when the Journeymen
refused to take the cut of *3 per
week and to go back to the pre-war
prices of twenty cents for shaves and
forty cents for hair cut#.
The journeymen by an agreement
a year ago were receiving $2? a
week and fifty per cent over $40
taken in each week at their chair.
The prices to conform with this were
advanced to 25 cents for shaves and
50 cents for hair cuts. Just what
the outcome of the strike will be
could not he learned but n represen
tative of the boss barbers said this
morning that they would stand firm
on the reduction. As this is the first
of the week and not much doing in
the shops no one cun tell what will
be the outcome.

|M n xxtHILE the first purpose of this book is

F cord certain aspects of life in the Hollywood '

with which I became conversant in the

making. <
Curiously enough, “Linda Lee, Inc., was
written in every detail before the occurrence
of that tragedy in real life which focused
the attention of the United States on Holly
wood—and was inspired by the author’s
memory of a conversation with a famous
star and her husband, in which we agreed
that, providing means were not found to
_ stem the excesses of a certain element more
——^ conspicuouf than representative of Holly
■■ wood, some such tragedy was inevitably to
be expected.

A thrilling romance of a Fifth Avenue society beauty
who finds life with her husband impossible. She flees to Cali
