decision of the union was flat and
final for the initial figure so: and.
while not outspoken about the mat.
for. indicated the difficulties might
result in a general walkout. Ono
obstacle to such a course is that 12
barber shops. in the lower section
of the city alone. are non~unlon, and
the harbors do not wish to holp non-
union shops at the expense of their
own.
Hr. Selzcr says the men on strike
are asking for wages of 830 a week
and commissions of 50 per cent on
receipts taken in by them over $42.|
The present scale. he says, is $25
a week and commissions on receipts
over $40.

union head. have signed the new
union agreement. They are: Apron

Bargain Hunters Out In
Previous,
Profit ’l'lil'n inck Turn-Over.
While the bargains offered for the
exact one dollardhat the name im-
plies were many, the main impulse
of the buyers seemedto be purchase
in all lines. regardless of whether
articles were more or less than the
iexact hundred cents. For this rea-
son stores carrying higher priced
lines, such as Jewelry. millinery and
women's dresses, felt the stimulated
business as much as the notion and
department stores. The; dollar is not
the thing anymore. as. the mer-
chants agree..it is merely the sym-
bol that extraordinary bargains are
to be had and that the stores have
banded together to give the public
the benefit of.collectlvo trading and
the savings that the resulting quick
turn-over affords.
Hundreds of articles were dis-
played for the exact dollar. howev er.
most of them .as legitimate bar-
gainsand many practically gifts at
the price offered to attract shop-
pers and stimulate buying in other
lines as well. This explains the fre-
quent observation coming. from
shoppers who declared on seeing the
price tags. .“It's impossible. They
can't sell these things for a dollar."
Yet it was done and both the store
'ewners and the shoppers are more
than satisfied from all indications.

would probably be gregter than those of any previous dollar day.
The hundreds of women who fil-
lcd the stores all morning were not

The early morning cars from the
surburbs brought in the largest
shopping traffic of the year. And
they came to buy.
As one merchant put the attitude
