New York ADVERTISEMENT, al —— ADVERTISEMENT. - ~ To the Public » Representatives of the Master Barbers’ Institute and the Master Barbers’ Associations’ Central body, at a meeting in the Hotel McAlpin Sunday after- noon, unanimously. decided to flatly reject the unreasonable, unfair and im- possible demands made upon them by the barbers’ union. The granting of these demands would mean increasing the price of haircuts to $1 and proportionate raises in the prices of all barber work. ‘The master barbers are unwilling to participate in an act of extortion upon the public and herewith announce: Despite the threatened strike of the barbers there shall be no further + increase in the present In presenting their position to the public, the master barbers. wish to call attention to the following facts: 1.—The union is violating its sacred contract. One of the affinated | proprietors’ associations has an agreement with the union which still has 18 months to run. It is signed by both the Local and the Intefnational Union. It is being flagrantly broken. 2.—Certain members of the unions are making false and misleading statements that members of the owners’ associations have signed new con- tracts with the unions. The master barbers not only have refused to sign such contracts, but they will have nothing further to do’ with the unions. Past ‘experiences with the unions have proved so unsatisfactory, and con- tracts have been so easily broken, that the boss barbers consider further dealings with the union to be futile. ‘ 3.—Open shops will be conducted by the proprietors. All barbers who arply will be given work regardless of their union affiliations, and the public will be served regardless of the cost to the shop owners. 4.—The union’s demand: equal approximately 75 per cent. of the gross receipts of the individual master barber, leaving him only 25 per cent. for| rent, light, heat, clean linens, antiseptic lotions, etc. It is utterly impossible to conduct a barber shop on any such basis. 5,—When the proprietors pointed out to the union that they could not stand the proposed increases, they were told to pass them along lo the public. This they have and will continue to refuse to do, 6—Barbers are now earning an average of 150 per cent. more than they did three years ago. The cost of living has increased only 100 per cent. The barbers have received advances far in excess of the increase in living ex- Lsacpen and, therefore, can have no just basis for their present un-American ~ ‘ + T—Barbers to-day are earning as much as the skilled mechanics in any | * other industry, aside from which they are employed for 52 weeks in the, year, instead of being forced to work at seasonable occupations. | &—The boss barbers’ associations expect an carly collapse of the strike; | bat under any circumstances they are prepared to fight to a finish, both for the public's interest and their own. e Mlustrative of the impossible conditions the union seeks to impose upon | _ the shop owners Is the following demand: No proprietor shall have the right to lecharse an employee without the permission or approval of the union, In other words, if a barber insults or renders unsatisfactory service to a cus- tomer the proprietor must consult the union before he can discharge the offender. In presenting these facts the proprietors earnestly request the indulgence ‘of the public pending the settlement of the present disturbance. The master barbers of the City o w York will hold a mass meeting | at ® o'clock to-night at Arlington Hall, No. 98 St. Mark's Place (Eighth | Street near Third Avenue) and hereby request every boss barber in the city | to attend, both in his own interest and in the interest of the public at large. | J, PRAITANO, President, Central Body.
