Rupert required neither. He

ployes of textile mills in Philadelphia
will be out of work this winter unless
they watch their step he said The
wedding out has already begun. Ap-
proximately forty thousand have al
ready been dropped. Whether the re-
mainder viii follow depends to a con
siderable extent on the workers them
selves.
The textile manufacturers are not
opposed TO unions. They believe labor
organizations have done and vii lido
good. But they are opposed to rsdi-
cal leaders and are going to the mat
here and now with them"
Mr.. Benton predicted general
stsbilization of the textile trades
within the next sixty days, followed by
a marked reduction in prizes TO the
consumer. Wages will not be cut, -
he added, until the purchasing power
of the dollar is as near as possible to
