Philadelphia, representatives. Of all
branches of the textile business here
have organized a Men and Managements
Textile Council which will be a perma-
nent organisation. G. Stanley Hurlbut
was elected president
The Men and Managements Textile
Council was really formed as a result of
civic pride and local patriotism for the
future OF the textile industry in Phila-
deipha, which is menaced by the inter-
ference from outside scouroes in the
shape of Bolshevik leaders, ]. W. w.
leaders and other radicals" said Mt
Hurlbut today.
ut is the purpose ef this council 10
promote the welfare and insure tho
success of the textile industry in Phila-
delphia by promoting tho business inter
ests Of both the mana gements engaged
and the men and women employed in it.
"The council Is opposed to the slogan
of the radicals--the |. W. w, the Boil
sheviks, eto--that all wealth is pro-
duced by labor as that statement is
not only misleading, but contrary to
facts. The council does stand, however,
for the truthful slogan. that natural
resources of the United states of
America developed by the men and
women guided by the managements pro
duce prosperity. Each depends upon
the other two
Undeve1oped Resources Not Wealth
"Undeveloped natural resources are
not wealth. Managements must have
the natural resources at their disposal
and can only develop these natural re-
sources by the help of labor. Labor
cannot produce wealth unless they have
the natural resources to work up and
then only II instructed and guided by
the managements as to how those nat
ural resources should he developed and
distributed.
The council has already appointed
various committees TO take charge of
and conduct various beneficial lines rel
ative to the creation OF harmony and
cooperation between the men and man
agements, which will not only insure
the success of the textile industry In
Philadelphia, but will insure the per-
manent possession for every man and
woman of his or her home. his property,
his family and his rights as citizen
of the city of Philadelphia.
THE plan Will be placed on per
manent basis and will be worked out
chiefly by an educational campaign. In
formation, facts and figures will be cor
lected and distributed among the man
agements and among the men and won-
en- engaged in this industry, so that
they will be truthfully informed and be
able to draw the correct conclusions
80 that there will be confidence be-
tween the men and arrangements and
consequently a fair distribution between
both the men and the managements of
wftxtever prosperity the industry may
enjoy"
