It was not a political gathering in an sense, and although the mayor was the / host, he found time to get as much pleasure out of theh big event as any of his guests and their enjoyment was enjoyment, aturally in the party were some who were pronounced political oppon- ents of the mayor, but on that special occasion they were the guests of the mayor's closest |nMo friends.

New London rday night at half- past ten o'clock, whether the bosses are in_favor or mot, provided they abide by a vote of the local union, i e, they will not do any work on customers that are admitted into the shops after that hour. So the bosses must comply or a strike will e the re- sult, and what will the unshaved do then, poor things? In addition the barbers demand that shops close at ten o'clock on the nights before holi- days. and that the shops be closed on all holidays except when they come on Satordays and Mondays, when the journeymen will consent to work un- til_noon, It is said that a majority of the bosses are not opposed to the proposed change in working hours, but there are some who are unfavorable, believing that a failure to accommodate late customers on Saturday nights will e- wult in the loss of business. The claim is made that some customers are not able to leave their work in time to reach the barber shops at the earlier hour, and therefore are liable to go into the shaving business on their own account. The _journeymen, howeve take no stock in this claim, say that it is silly and not worthy of serious coonsideration. Therefore, the journeymen will per- slst in respeet of their ultimatum and are confident that the present dis- agreeing bosses can be whipped into line before Saturday night of next week. The barbers’ action has not cre- ated much anxiety to the dear public, the majority of the people believing it to be a matter that will adjust it- self without the inconvenience of pa- trons and to the satisfaction of the employers and employes.
