ACCUSES BARBERS' UNION.

An unknown vandal during Friday night slashed and almost totally de­stroyed the sign at the non-union barber, shop of Roy Daugherty, 610 South High street. The work was evidently done maliciously, as the sign was cut and slashed until almost unreadable.

Following his belief that members of the Barbers' union did the act, Daugherty yesterday replaced the sign at the side of his shop and above it printed the question: "Will this dirty work get the union anything?’’

Union men are indignant at the ac­tion of Daugherty in practically accus­ing them of the outrage. They ridicule the belief that union barbers were at all responsible for the action of the vandals.

Daugherty states that he was for­merly in the union, but left because the rules for charging did not meet his approbation.

The barber shop is located near the railway yards, adjoining a saloon where disreputable characters may be found. Tramps are blamed for the deed by some of Daugherty's friends.
