SHTTIB THE THXTII-t: STIUKI3!
Any one wlio looks twice nt the tex
tile Btrlke In Kenslnptton must roallzo
that It has grown tt be n previous
labor disturbance. Ai It Manila It mig
Kests that human reason Is futile, that
v,o In this city ale not observlnc riRht
Ideas of Industrial co-operatlan and
that, while force and attrition hae
been utterly dlscrcdltrd everywhere
else In the world ns means to a ra
tional end, forco anil attrition still aro
to prevail In labor disputes In
America.
Immeasurable hardship and endless
lots hae resulted so far from tlie
deadlock created between the mill own
ers and their cmplo.es. Kncli side Is
being accused by the other of bcinR
stiff-necked, ii reconcilable and unfair.
The faith of many thousands of peo
plo In our natho ability to lie and
work In amity and Rood will Is being
shaken and destroyed, and there Is a
sense of bitterness and despair not only
among those who aro paiticlpants in
the dispute, but among many who are
merely thoughtful obseners of tlio sit
uation. The, strike has gone too far
'i'liose who may be responsible for
it, whether on one side or the other
or on both sides, are doing a great
deal of harm beond the circle of their
own Interests. The agencies of media
tion proNided by the Federal Goern
ment hae been disregarded The
trouble, whatccr It actually Is should
bo brought out Into the light and
discussed and adjusted without any
further delay In the Interest of the
community, the workers and the busi
ness men themsehes, and, above all,
for the good name of tills great in

Axkeil to Arbitrate
Following the appearance of this edi
torial the i:vi:nino Public Lunciun
asked Frank McICosky, Ice, president
of the United Tetllo Workers of
Aineilca, representing the strlkeis, and
C. Stanley Iluilbut, president of the Men
and Managements' Textile Council, rep
resenting the employers, the. following
question :
"Will our organization, In the In
terest of the public welfare, submit the
questionsSu lss-ue In the textile strike to
the arbitration of the war labor board,
or If that be impracticable, to some
other mutually satisfactory body?"
Mr. McKosky answered as follows:
"We have been willing to accept arbi
tration from before the time the trouble
started. We have been willing to accept
It at any time since' then. Wo nio will
jng to accept it now.
"Befoio the full-fashioned hosiery
workers went on strike In Jnuuaiy they
offered to arbitrate their dltilcultles with
tlie manufacturers' association. That
offer was refused.
"Before the. eight-hour day was en
forced by the textile workers i eaily
February, Judgo J. Willis Martin ap
pointed u citizens' committee;- with bucn
men as Archbishop Dougherty and Bish
op Ithlnelander among its members and
Qcoige Wharton Pepper as Its chairman,
to try to prevent labor trouble.
"This committee, after investigating,
recommended that tho textile manufac
turers establish an eight-hour day tem
porarily and that the workers continue
at their jobs, both sides meanwhile lay
ing the matter beforo tho war labor
board.
"The textile workers were perfectly
willing that this should bo done. The
'employers refused to agree.
"No," Ileply 1'mplilyers
"We are willing now to go beforo the
war labor board and abide by their de
cision. Or we would let the matter bo
arbitrated by a board to be composed of
numbers, chosen by the employers and
ourselves, with an odd member to be
selected by theso two."
The same question that had been asked
Mr. McKosky, lcpreseuting the strikers,
was asked Mr. Huilbut, representing tlie
employers.
Mr. Hurlbut answered:
"No, wo would not put our case before
tho war labor board. X would ns soon
let It bo settled by the head of the
union."
"By Mr. Golden, president of the
United Textile Workers?" Mr. Hurlbut
Was asked.
"Yes, by Mr. Golden. I think we
would get a more satisfactory verdict
than wo would get from the war labor
board." N ,
Mr. Hurlbut continued. In explanation
of this refusal: "I feel this mat'ter Is
Just en the verge of settlement. Em
ployers and employes In the full-fashioned
hosiery trade liavo met and talked
things over. There will be further meet
ings. We have worked hard to get both
sides together. The Men and Manage
ments' Textile Council Is anxious to get
all labor disputes adjusted."
Mr. Hurlbut explained that at tho first
meeting, between employers and employes
held Wednesday afternoon, tho employ
ers had proposed certain things . that
met with tho approval of tho representa
tives of tho mill workers present; that
the feeling between the mill owners and
the mill hands had been greatly Im
proved by tho discussion which took
place on Wednelday, and that things
had reached a. point where settlement of
the trouble was a matter of hours. A
second meeting arranged for yesterday
afternoon was expected by Mr. Hurl
but to brine both factions together In a
peace agreement.
Mr, McKosky In his turn had some-

day between the workers and their
foimcr employers.
"The men sat unlet at tlie meeting,
making very llltlo comment, and let
the bosses do tho talking," he said.
"The cmiloers uronosed to lncreao
tlie full-fashioned bosleiy woikers'
wages by I:: per cent, Mr. Huilbut
said that tho operation of the bonus
plan of the Men and Managements'
Council should add another 0 per cent to
salaiies.
"About the only impression this talk
made on the woikers whs to convince
them of a matter about which originally
they may have had sonic (.light doubts
namely, that the stocking manufac
turers are financially nblo to pay tho
workers 18 tier cent more wages than
they got when the strike was called.
"After the men rnme back from the
meeting with Mr. Hurlbut and his as
sociates a op was taken on the propo

other meeting Thursday, although it did
not seem of murli ii'-e to us or to some
of the other emploers Mr. Hurlbut
wished It, however, and the men de
cided to nttend. Mr. Hurlbut said
there would bo conferences every aft
ernoon th s week If nccessarj. liecail'C
the woikers hud' to be got back to the
mills by next Monday.
"Mr. Hurlbut is wasting his time try

plan across. The workers won't have i
It. And they are not going to change
their minds.'
