PHILADELPHIA, June u The
granting of concessions in four mills
and the coming out of the operatives
in another has revived the hopes of
the textile workers for an early settle
ment of the strike. The possibility of
it's extension to the engineers working
in the mills was another important
feature of the day. A suggestion along
that line was thrown out by Isaac
Cowan of Cleveland, O., general inter-
national organizer for the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Machinists, an or
ganization whose headquarters are in
England. The proposition has not yet
been taken up by the executive coun-
Gil of the strikers, as it has not been
formally presented to them.
Two of the four mills conceding the
shorter work week included the grant
ing OF, sixty hours pay for fifty-ive
hours work. They were the Crown
Knitting mill and the Mckinley &
Klink Spinning mill. The other places
yielding to the strikers demand were
