Boss Barbers Slgn Agrcement Wlth
JournCjnieu for Comlng Year.
The difflculty whlch has threaten
ed the sltuatlon In regard to the
barbers fo this clty, has been clear
ed up by the slgning of the blll pre
sented to the bosses by the journey
meu barbers. Tho agreemeut was
slgned Friday mornlng and went in
to effect Saturday, May 1st, as the
present agreement explres at 12
o'clock Friday nlght.
There will be two open shops in
town this year, those operated by
E. A. Smith and C. J. Limoges,
the latter having held a unlon card
until this year, white the former has
never entered the unjon. Mr. Lim
oges declded to run an open shop
and so has refused to slgn the bill
presented by the journeymen bar
bers, although he has until 12
o'clock tonight to slgn tho hlll if he
so deslres. It was sald sorae tlme
ago that two or three other bosses
contemplated glving up their unlon
cards but evldently they have re
considered their attltudo and t-1U
continuo under tho old plan.
Tho new agreement, whlch was
drawn up after the refusal of the
boss harbers to slgn the flrst one
presented, ls quite dlfferent from
the original ldea of the Journeymen,
hut it is thought that tlio terms wlll
work out to the satlsfactlon of all
concerned. Tho most radlcal change
of program Is that alt the shops wlll
bo open from 7 a. ni. to 8 p. m.
every worklng day in the week, ox
cept Saturday nlghts, when they will
bo open until 10.30 p. m., wheroas
durlng tho past year every unlon
shop has been closed on Monday
afternoons. '
As regards the observance of the
holldays, this Is at the dlscretion of
tho bosses themsolves, and if they
wish to keop their shops open on
theso days, they may do so, but tho
shops will bo kept open until ten
o'clock on nlghts preceding holl
days oxcopt when tho hollday falls
on Monday. The matter of half hol
ldays for tho journoymen barbers ls

mentloned In this mattor. Tho mln

Poor Rlchard says that some men

he mlght havo added, many women
llke the pedestal too well to trouble

of their posltlon. In spite of tho
"poor thlng" argument advanced by
many men In regard to tho possi
billtles of women accompllshing
anything outside the Hne of actual
home dutles, and in spite of the ex
terior calm wlth whlch women, in
general, accept tho sltuatlon and
settle down wlthin four walls and a

being that the chlldren are to plant

that few women who wear these

Xiarly 2,215 3IIlcs of Idle Cars ln

The recent statement of tho Blg
Four rallway that it had over forty
elght ralles of ldlo cars in Indiaua
alono has started offlclals of other
llnes flgurlng on how many mlles
of ldlo cars they owned, stored away
ln varlous yards, awalting sufflclent
lmprovoment of business to brlng
them Into the actlve ranks agaln,
wlth results that lndlcato a condl
tlon of affalrs by no means so good
as somo of tho prosperlty shouters
would lcad to imaglne. Whlle the
Canadlan rallways were not nearly
so badly hlt as many of those in
tho United States, It was flgured out
yesterday by an offlclal of tho Grand

idle cars at varlous places along its
llnes. The Grand Trunk's crop of
unused frelght cars, even slnce the

nmounts to 3,000 whlch, at forty
feet per car, glves 120,000 feet, or
well overd twenty mlles of Invest

Wlth ragard to this, lt was said
that whlle tho earnings of tho Grand

durlng the past few months, tho In

Increased ln anything llke a ratio to

In fact in tho United States there
has been an actual increaso in the
number of idle cars since the flrst
of Aprll, the flgures quoted by the
Omerlcan Rallway Associatlon for
the flrst two weeks of Aprll show
Ing an increase of 119 in the num
ber of Idle cars, tho total being 296,
320, whlch means that nearly 2,245
mlles of track ln the United States
are encumbered wlth rolling stock
for whlch they have no work.
