| PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-As the
| bles continues to be delayed the leaders
OF the general sympathetic strike are
| finding it harder and harder to keep their
followers in line.
The textile workers in Kensington,
who, together with the members of the
allied building trades. formed the back

| today. The textile unions represent
| about $1,000 persons.
The resolutions calling upon their
| members to return to work today stated
that the textile workers had stood 10y
ally together since the beginning Of the
sympathetic strike and had made all the
sacrifices necessary or that could be ex-
pected of them.
Sympathy Not Withdrawn.
The textile workers pledged the car
men their moral and financial support.
and agreed to refrain from patronizing
the trolley cars until the strike has
ended.
The breaking up Of the general strike
is a disappointment to the striking car
men. who believed the sympathetic
strikers SHOULD have stood out longer
especially at this time, when the rapid
transit company was showing willing
ness to treat with the men.
1t is generally agreed among labor
