Stanley Hurlbut, attorney and secretary of the Fuil.rashloned Ho siery Manufacturers' Association letters explaining the plan are being sent to several thousand einplojes, both I thoso on strike and those nt -nork. ' Frank McKosky, vice president ot the United Textile "Workers, says the plan will be Ignored by the members of his organization. The American Federation of rull- FasKloned Hosiery Workers, Branch 14, l wnoso members are not on strike, Iiac not jet passed on the plan. A special meeting will be held to consider the plan In the near future. Meanwhile Mr. Hurlbut, who drew up the plan, secured Its adoption bv the textile manufacturer ot till cltj and who Is president of the council, Is hope ful that It will find faor with (he ma jority of men and women In the textile trades. AleKoalcv'a A lens Mr. McKosky said his oiganlzatlon would co-operate In any measuic which promised better working conditions and a better understanding between the tex tile workers and their emptors. "We camot npprove the Mm and Managements Textile Council, howeef." said Mr. McKosky In an Interview, "since it 'h apparent to in that Its first purpose is to do nw-ij with our labor' organization. "If the mill owners want to get to gether with their cmploves their first trp should be to establish confidence. Tl cannot do this unless they take the men into consultation . "Let the mnnufnctuieii ge better hours and better pay, and then It will be time to ta'U co-operation. A hotise cleanlng is needed In the mill"? before the workers are ln!ted In to talk about getting together. "The men hae not been consulted Ip drawing up the men-nnd-manage-ments plan. Therefore, we aro not going to enter Into It. AVe fee' that the plan Is not going to be a success. It looks like a huge Joke to us." The men and managements: council plan iroides. among other things, for tiisiriDution to inc woriteis. or a joinr. , fund to which the mills and their em-' pioes win contuuute. Ilnslii of Objection!! The workers' base their objection on various gmunds. Among these are the stipulation of a fifty hour instead of a I fort-clght hour week; the tlelng up ot the workers' money for a sK-month period, nnd the failure of the authois of the plan to consult the workers In drawing up the provisions of tho pio-' " ' , ,, n.. , The reason we made It a flftj -hour week Is this." said Mr. Huilbut. "About 80 per cent of the workeis In Kenslng - ton want a fift-four-houi week, because It enables them to cam that much more -..,. . "in making the wee., even one of fifty nuuin vo i.,UuB,.,. ,c n .i.,,,..,r, i eomewnac vi i. uarusiuij un 1110 peupm who wanted to work lift -four hours ' "The objection that the money paid In by the workers adds to the working capital of the mills is easily answered. The dues are taken out of the workers' wages. As soon as this is done the money Is turned Into the central fund In addition to this, the mill takes out of Its treasury an amount equivalent to ten cents a dozen on every dozen stocking 'firsts' shipped. This Is turned right into the treasur. Both tho money paid by the treasurj-. "This fund is under the joint control of the men and managements. The mon ey will be disbursed bj' the treasurer of the council, who will be elected not bv the managements, but bj- the emplojes It cannot bo disbursed, however, save with the counter-signature of the presi dent, who Is to ho elected by the manage ments The individual mills will not hae any o'ce '" handlln the monej or disposing of It. ' "The letter which I am sending out to the textile emplojes explains that anj- one who wants to withdraw from the fund maj- do so at anj- time. Only twentj-four hours' notice will be le quired to get the monej-. The return of the money In full Is guaranteed by the mills. Fund ot 160,000 A Year "The amount paid In by the workeis will be only a fraction of the. total put Into tho fund. Averaging it up, the workers will contribute about $20 a jear for each one of 3000 emplojes in the Htocktng trade. This wlll make a total of $60,000 a j-ear. On a production basis of 2,000,000 dozen stockings a J ear which ls a falrverage when things are running normallj- the mills will con i trlbue $200,000 j-earlj-." Statement Fron Council The executive committee of the men and managements council has Issued a statement denying that the body Is op posed to organized labor. The statement was sent out over the slgnatuie of Mr. Hurlbut after a meeting In his office, at which the following mill owners were present: John W. S'novvden, of Stead & Miller: II. H. Bosworth, of the De laine Mills; C. II. Masland, of C. II. Mfcsland & Sons Company; W. II. I'ol well, of Folwell Brothers & Co.; Joseph "Wasserman, of the Philadelphia Tap estry Mills ; William G. Wall of the Nice town Dye Works, and Samuel R. Hoggs, of the Model Mills. Tho statement follows in patti "In addressing a meeting of several hundred textile workers In Kensington John' Gol den, piesident of the United Textile Workers of America, endeavored to Jn form his hearers that the textile manu facturers of Philadelphia were endeav oring to apply a bonus sjstem as a mtans of keeping their mills operating during the readjustment period, "Such a statement Is absolutely un founded. "Every one else after studying the Idea believes it to be the only real solu tion of tho labor problem, for It gives the workers equal olce and equal vote with the managements of a mill, "The old idea that unless a man fol lows the advice of a paid agent of an organization lie ls an enemy to the workers is rapidly disappearing. The council ls not opposed to unions, Jn fact, It ls sponsoring an organization, or union,- or doiii employers ana emplojetf. That ls its great object." Four Obtain City Position!
