NORWICH, BULLETIN, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1919 'NEW LONDON SHAVES AND HAIRCUTS (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, May 23.—There has been no increase in the number of long-haired long-bearded, or unshaven men in New London since the barbers went on strike for more weekly pay to share profits with the master bar- bers, to form a one-side partnership, to share the gross profits and bear none of the expenses. The master bar- bers are at work at the old stands and are making expenses, if not much profit, and have not raised the sched- ule of prices, which is another de- mand of the striking shavers. In soma <hops the master parbers have as- sistants satisfied with the prevalent wages and shop conditions, but un- fortunately these assistants are said not to be up to the high standard at- tained by barbers who are a part of organized labor; no, not even if they hold state license as being fully qual- ified, and work in shops that have all the required sanitary accessories, and more. The laborer, surely is worthy of his hire, but the employe ought to be ziven just a litale bit of consideration, and be entitled to as much emolument as any of the employes plus that what invested in business and what is required to properly conduct the business, with just a little bit of pro- fit added. Employes are going a long distance when specification is made as to the prices the master barbers are to chafge for the work done in their own sheps. The striking barbers state, however, that the advance in prices will go a long way towards paying the in- creases demanded. That is, the union barbers demand from their af- fillated union members, and others, fifty cents for a hair cut and twenty- five cents for a shave. If they do not come ucross cheerfully the harbers may aim the fellow unionists are not e to union principles. It is said the strikers contemplate opening vnion shops and charge the it are now demanded of the — e e ey A GRIPPLE FOR (HREE YEARS Helpless In Bed With Rheumatism Until He Tcok “FRUIT-A-TIVES". MR.

There are all too many, assaults, rob- beries and like crimeés committed in New London that go undetected, and fully-as many that are hidden in the police safe under the present ruling of the police committee of the court of common council. This is not be- cause the police force is mot large enough for the protection of the city, for the roll now includes thirty-six members, and be it remembered that New London in point of area is the smallest city in the state. There is evidently a surfeit of policemen, for the committee has arranged to give time off to every mmeber with pay in addition to the usual two weeks' va- cation each year. With this increased force there ought to be more adequate service and so much crime ought not to go undetected, especially under an enlarged and improved police force, such as we read about. A few nights ago a couple of negro sailors beat up a white sailor so bad- ly that he required hospital treatment. This was known to the police shortly after it happened and the offenders had ample time to make a good get- away, as the pol under the rul kept it away from a newspaper that was issued a few hours after the bru- tal assault had occurred. Were the fact published the police might have received information that would lead to speedy arrest. The people who pay the freight are reaching the opinion that it is about time that the police department got right down te police business and out the grandstand and boy play. Mayor Morgan’s plan for a picnic on July Fourth, a sort of community affair, with a parade of the fire de- partment as an introducing and at- tracting feature, did not meet with favor among the firemen and the ma- vor very wisely abandoned the scheme. Fie wants to do something to make everybody ppy and spend some more of the city money, perhaps authoritatively. So he plans to hire a couple of bands, close State street to vehicular traffic, and have dances on the pavement, on the night of the glo- rious Fourth. It is the understanding that there will he no charge to the dancers and the spectators, all being free to tho public. That is a bright idea and ill add to the popularity of the mayor, and with the wish of the pub- lic for a safe and sane celejration of the Fourth of July, the great day of American Indenendence. The pave- ment dance may inconvenience per- sons who use the trolley “cars for transportation to different sections of the city, but it will be to the advan- tage {o those who want to dance in the street without being required to pay the fiddler. Street dancing will be a novelty for the city of New Lon- don and is a happy thought of the mayor, A couple of auto 'bu have com- menced operation in opposition to the trolley line to Ocean beach and are taking many nickels that formerly went to the trolley company, that serves the public every day in the , regardless of weather condition, anrl on schedule time from early n the morning 'till late at night.

That 'bus did not pay expenses on that trip, as the driver ley cars to pick ed plc ple very considerately took the injured man aboard and carried him to the hospital. An examination showed that the man had hustained a broken rib, a possible puncture of the lung, and some other injurles. It is sup- posed that the operator of that 'bus is bonded in sufficient amount to recom- pensc the man for his injuries and loss of time, at least. In the event of fata there is question whether the operator is financ ponsible. It is time little matters like these were investigated by the improved department. Wonder if there ver police is a member of the force familiar with the law touching a case of this kind?
