Philadelphia Textile
Workers Decide to
Resist Lower Wage
Accuse Mill Owners of Hav.

der Losses of Hard Times

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.--The Phila-
delphia District Council of Textile
Workers at a meeting here to-day de-
cided TO resist "to the limi. of their
ability any wage scale reductions and
called on the people of Philadelphia to
support them in their struggle "for
fair play and for a chance to live as
citizens of a great American city
should live"
Most of the textile manufacturers
recently announced wage reductions,
ranging from 10 to % per cent, and
told the men they either would have
to submit or be thrown out Of work
by the closing of the plants.
Fourteen local unions, with mem
bership of approximately 10000, were
represented al the council meeting to-
day.
Adoption Of resolutions setting forth
their attitude followed the reading of
a detailed report in which statistics
and memoranda were quoted to show
that the average worker in the textile
industry is at present receiving a sal
airy Gar below the amount needed to
manufacturers have reaped for the last
five years exorbitant profits"
conclusive evidence" the resolu-
tions read, "shows that the textile
manufacturing concerns in Philadelphia
have made profits since 1914 which are
grossly exorbitant. Such profits have
furnished ample opportunities for the
mill owners to create adequate financial
reserves.
During the same period the workers
in the textile mills were denied any
share of this prosperity and received
wages utterly inadequate to support
them in health and decency.
This low level of wages has made
it impossible for the workers to Law
up any financial reserve whatever. and
recent unemployment in the local tex
tile industry has already reduced the
wages of the workers to point that
breeds desperation and renders them
prey to restitution and disease.
The present depression in the tex
tile industry is merely temporary
transition from unnatural imitation to
normal and prosperous business condi-
tons.
Therefore, the textile workers here
represented call upon the employers to
shoulder all the losses of hard times,
as they reaped all the benefits of pros
perity."
BOSTON, Jan. Representatives
OF unions in many textile centers of
MASSACHUSETTS, and Rhode Island affili-
ated with the Amalgamated Textile
orkers were authorized at meeting
here to-day to report to their organiza.

earthly Pay Up Bill for His
Charges; slower Social
Caste, Demand Best Cells"

The City of New York, represented
by Sheriff David H. Knott, and the gov
eminent of the United States. repre-
scented by Marshal Thomas D. Nc
Carthy, are in controversy. The trouble
has arisen over a bill for few hum
dred dollars which the Sheriff pre-
sented to the marshal for the keep Of
Federal prisoners in Ludlow Stree,
Jail.
This bill owing Father Knickerbocker
from Uncle Sam dates back as far as
1919. In reply to request from Sheriff
Knott that the bill be settled, Marshal
McCarthy said Indefinitely that it would
be. This reinsurance, however, failed
to assure the Sheriff that there would
De an early remittance to the city, so
he sent the following further com
munication on the subject:
My Dear Marshal: Your letter re-
gardlng overdue account received.
Really, your assurance that the United
States government would pay was not
necessary. l have felt certain of that
all along, even since 1919, when the ac
count now owing began to accrue. But,
dear marshal, the matter is like this:
II, as Sheriff of New York County
keep your Federal prisoners in Ludlow
Street Jail. We support them out of
the mcager allowance we get for that
purpose. ! have to account for every
thing that is expended, so if there is
any money coming back to the Comp
trollcr, who, you know, does not like to
see accounts get mixed up, should re-
ceive promptly any such money due the
city through the Sheriff's office.

no better, yet at the same time cheaper.

oners clamor for it's warm comfort and
substantial, though plain, meals. My
own prisoners are civil defendants only.
alimoners, ETC.; yours are, for the most
part, men held in connection with
crime. They do not add any social dis
tinction to the Jail. Yet, strangely
enough, your prisoners are the more
troublesome. They demand the best
cells. One of these not long ago actu-
exposure. (This man is now in At
lanta PRISON. Also, the Federal pris-
oners are so fussy about their meals.
"Now, the City of New York does not
seek to make any money on Uncle SAM
but neither can | be party to Father
knickerbocker being 'knicked.' We
must get back what we lay out. We
are hardly getting this at the present
70-cents-a -day rate charge, with the
price of coal where it is. Therefore, /
wish to confirm my prior statement to-
you, that hereafter the charge for Fed
eral prisoners will be 80 cents a day.
the same rate charged by the Commits
sioner of Corrections for the main
tenance of Federal prisoners in the
Tombs.
"And, please, dear marshal, hurry
along that check to the city for 1919
and 1920"
