OPPOSING VIEWS
OF TEXTILE PLAN
Originator of Council Sys
tem and Workers' Offi
cial Express Opinions
JOINT FUND DISCUSSED
Number of Hours in Week
Also Considered by Hurl
but and McKosky
Striking textile workers In Kensing
ton have so far Ignored the Men and
Managements Textile Council plan, pro
posed by C. 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."
