WESTEHLY BARBERS' UNION RULES| { Being Openly Violated—Hopes of Tin Can Industry Van- ish—Political—Dissatisfaction Manifest—$200- Fire Loss in Chapman Building v W W~ ~ oy s About a week ago the Westerly"Cen- fral Labor union secured a charter for ‘the Barbers’ union, after agreement had been recelved from the majority of the shavers that they would adhere to the union rules’ for at least one year. Among other things the rules provided that all union ships would close on all work days at 8 o'clock in the evening, except on Saturday, when the work- limit was extended three hours. 'he year's agreement is at an end, end one of the union shops now has no regard for union rules, and it s said that others will follow suit, which will imean disruption of the Barbers’ union. Several offorts have been made to un- donise the barber business in Westerly, but all have falled. The last move- ment was more successful than any zhu receded. Hffort is being made to e seceder back Into line before t]u break becomes general, but to meke the union a unanimity i9 an im- posstbility, for there are some barbers who epenly declare they will never as- sociate themselves with some of their fellow tradesmen, and these have a fol- lowing ef supporting customers. The ¢in can has evidently been tied to that canning industry that, accord- ing to the promoters, was surely to lo- cate In Westerly, It was given out that property in Main street had been purchased as a location for the mill bulldings and that work thereon would begin without delay. This was a year ago, and now there {s nothing heard of that tin can industry for Westerly. The property mentioned was owned by the state of Joshua Thompson, and comprised & wharf, water rights and two @welling houses, at present leased by the F. H. & A, H. Chappell Coal Co. of New London. This property has just been sold, but not to the promoters ,of. that tin can industry. The purchase has been made by the Smith Granite company, and will be used in connection with the shipment of paving stones and granite stock, when such can be male to the best advantage by water. There Is .lw-y. political activity Tn Westerly, which increases as election day draws nearer, and this is all with- in the republican ranks, as there 1s only & remnant, and a small one at that, of the democratic party in this border town. Of course there are rings within rings, and groups opposed to those selected as party managers; and some opponents of the party erganiza- tion are already framing up a council- manic slate for the June, election. One faction of the purty has held three sessions in a law office, and an- other is scheduled for next Saturday evening. ‘The present town councll is compos- ed of William L. Clark (president), Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, Albert H. worthy, Horace Burdick, C. Maxson, William Culley and Wayland Baunders. All are favored for renom- fnation by the town committee, all except Dr. Scaulon would accer he has announced that he is candidate for re-election.
