PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. Estate
ments TO the public were published here
today by both the manufacturers and the
striking shirt waist makers. About sixty
shops in this city are affected BY the
strike and at meeting last night owners
OF forty-three establishments met and
formed an organization.
In the statement issued in behalf Of the
manufacturers It is said the association
was not formed to antagonize the strikers.
'as we know they have been misinformed
and misled."
The statement continues:
we shall insist upon an open shop and
no member OF the organization will be per-
mitted to recognize the union. We shall
try to induce our employees to return to
work and we win prove to them that they
can obtain better conditions without a
union rather than By being affiliated with
one"
The strikers demand increased pay, bet
ter conditions and closed shops.
The strikers statement is as follows:
I'VE, the striking shirt makers, are only
asking for what is just and for recogni-
ton OF organized trade and better wages.
we must pay for the power, machin.
straps, needles. shuttles. and, worst Of al
we must bring our own oil cans from
home to oil our machines. We ask the pub
lie this: Are we not justified In asking for
an increase OF wages2''
