Statement From $4,000 Textile Work
ers in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June 9.-The work
ing committee of the Central Textile
union, composed of one delegate from
each union on strike, met at strike
headquarters and considered the situa-
ton. After a five hours session the
committee, in conjunction with the
executive board of the textile workers,
issued long statement to the public,
giving reasons for the strike of over
$4,000 men, women and children.
The statement says that the strike
was ordered for sanitary reasons; that
it was necessary because the health of
the men, women and children was at
stake. The statement called attention
10 the fact that children were COM
PEELED to work 10 3-4 hours day in
the mills from Monday to Friday and
six and one quarter hours on Saturday.
The statement asks for the support of
the public and reiterates the willing
ness of the workers to meet for a con-
terence. The statement also declared
that the textile industry, as shown in
statistics produced before the anthra-
cite coal strike commission, is dead
Ter than the mining industry.
