The Germans, who had agreed
yesterday on two major Issues
delaying the new government,
came here to lay that agreement
before the American, British and
French military governors, and
ask their approval.
The big Issues concern tha fi

amount of power to be given the
member states.

'.Q.:. 1
Capital Journal, Saltm, Oregon,
Ask City to Fix
Barbers Hours
Salem barbers, both the union
and th cut-rate shops, are said
to be almost a unit for the bill
on the city council's calendar
Monday night, fixing opening
and closing hours for barber
shops.
Both shop owners and Jour
neymen are affected by the bill.
It was reported during the day
that a large delegation of men
In the trade will attend the
council meeting to urge passage
of the bill, which is up for final
action.
In their consideration of the
bill tht aldermen may have to
draw a fine line of distinction
between barbers and beauty
parlor operators, who would not
be regulated by the measure.
Also, some of the aldermen may
ask, why fix hours for barbers
and not for other businesses.
Some businesses are regulat
ed as to hours, but thev are
those that can become a nuisance
after certain hours, like resorts,
or places operating machinery
that makes a lot of noise.
It is said in some of the shops
that the bill is an approach to
move that may come later to
close barber shops entirely one
work day a week. In some cities
of the state, H was said, the
shops are closed all day on
Mondays.
The bill would make the open
lng hour for shops 8 a. m. and
the closing time 0 p. m. Each
person or firm coming under the
bill would pay a license fee of
SJ a year.
It would prohibit barbcrlng on
Sundays and the regular holl
days.
Inquiry among city officials
indicated that nothing would
come up this week on the Bal
dock traffic plan. Otherwise the
city council agenda Is mainly
routine.
Detroit Dam
(Oontlnwd from Punt) 1)
Actual excavation for Detroit
dam will not begin until early
fall because the branch line of
the Southern Pacific now oper
ating from Mill City to a point
near Idanha can not be taken
over by the army engineers
until the new North Santiam
highway Is made serviceable.
Contractors on the roadway
and the bridge have promised
that the new road will be In
shape for use about July 1, and
as quickly as tha U. S. Bureau
of Roads and the state highway
department certify that the road
can be used, the engineers will
take over the railroad and make
it available for use by the con
tractors. Then dirt will begin to fly.
(More concerning the Detroit
project in tha Capital Journal
Tuesday.)
