Women barbers In Spokane have
applied to the American Federation of
America for a charter. Some diffi-
culty is looked for, as it is said that
owning to a clause In the constitution

union men, the women barbers may
not be admitted to that bqdy. but
they say they will "boost" for the
label even if they are barred on a
technicality. There are 25 women
barbers in Spokane, and six shops are
controlled by them. On a straight
percentage basis a barber averages
between 519 and $20 a week. These

PRESIDENT OF THE PRESSMEN.
George L. Berry, the newly elect-
ed president of the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistants'
union, is a young man who has yet
to win his spurs as a leader In in-
ternational unionism, and the proba-
bilities are that he will win them, i
He Is modest and unassuming, yet
shows evidences of character, tem-1
perament and mental powers which,
when called upon, must quickly de-
velop the qualities of Intelligent and
courageous, though conservative,
leadership. President Berry's home is
in San Francisco, where, as secre-
tary and business representative of
Printing Pressmen's union No. 24, he
has made a record that has won for
him the applause of pressmen every-
where and that preceded his appear-
ance in the convention, where he re-
ceived the highest honor within the i
gift of the international union.
