SAYS WHISKERS FLOURISH
Striking Barbers' Leader Declares
Male Population Is Miserable
How are your whiskers?
If the journeymen barbers are right
in the number of shops they claim to
have closed by their strike two-thirds
of the men accustomed to being shaved
in shops In that district bounded by
Itace and Spruce streets nnd the two
rivers are now raising beards.
Michel Circclli, president of the Jour
neymen Barbers' Association, at a
meeting last night, painted n harrowing
picture of the woe and misery of these
unshaven thousands.
After half a minute of Circelli's
speech his listeners were left with the
thouijht that a big majority of the city's
population were wandering around, sur
lcptitiously feeling their faces to see
how far their beards had grown in
the search for a barber.
The barbers, who demand a ten-hour-day
and an Increase in pay, say
they will win the strike today.
