S&jretary Jack I.lght of the Barber's union, advocating the pa sage of the Sunday closing ordinance before the city commission, said there probably had been i "a misunderstanding" of his attitude. He had said that unless the city commission passed the ordinance he would swing the J suppott of the barbers to the Antl- Saloon league and force the "closing of nil saloons now running after 8 o'clock." "Did you nwko there statements?" To Commissioner Jack Jtvdcr asked. 'There must have been some misunder standing," Light replied. "If you said this," Ryder continued, flourishing a copy of The Morning ilea, "I'm ready now to vote against your or dinance. You can't foicc me to do any thing by threats. If you have anything on saloons running after hours let us know about It." "I'm not fighting your battle, " said Light A large number of barbsm attended tho meeting, the majority of them to protest against the ordinance, which prohibits any kind of barber work In any shop on Sunday. Frntrstnntn Appear. Attorney Stanley ltorfewater, represent ing the protectants, said the sentiment among barbers was overwhelmingly against Sunday closing. He named nu merous towns whero the closed shop Is not known. Several barbers, some of them head bai brs, backed' up Ilotewater In his statements. A petition of protest was presented as evidence of the antl- closlng sentiment. Secretary Light asked for postponement for a week and the council granted the request E.. B. Claik, representing the church and Civto club of the Christian Kndeav orers, supported Light Argues foi Open Shop, Attorney Rosewator, In bin argument beforo tho council, aald the doted shop on Sunday had provod unsatisfactory and that the old closing ordlnanco had boen rcpooJed after a trial; that the open shop was an accommodation to the publla; that (he closed shop hurts business and deprives laboring men of money earned toward the support of their families; that Is an unfair discrimination beoauso other businesses aro permitted to operate. Under the rotation system, he said, each barber gets one day oft each weak, He declared It would be bad advertising for Omaha to close the shops, as the travel ing publla would be greatly incon- enten'ecd. Attorney Kosr.water further maintained that this continual agitation tending to ward discord and litigation was seriously injuring the barber business in Omaha.
