Textile Workers
for Arbitration
OoadnoM from Tajra One
portunlty fo the mill owners to create
Herniate financial resources. During
the same period the workers in the tex
tile mills were denied any share of this
prosprlty and received wages utterly in
adequate to support them in health and
decency.
This low level of wages has made it
Impossible for tho workers to lay up
nnr financial reserve whatever. He
cent unemployment In the local textile
industry has already reduced the wages
of the workers to a point that breeds
deaperatlon and renders them prey to
desperation and disease. The present
depression Is the textile industry is
merely a temporary transition from un
natural inflation to normal and pros
perous business condition.
Therefore be it resolved, That the
textile workers here represented call
upon the employers to shoulder all the
Uea of hard times, as they reaped at1
the benefit of prosperity ;
That the textile workers denounce the
attempts of the Philadelphia manufac
turers to reducv wage scnles nt this
time as contrary to the dictates of Jus
tice, human decency and sound public
policy ;
That the tcstilo workers, as a duty to
themselves, their families and the com
munity at large, pledge resistance to the
Halt of their ability against any wage
scale reductions at the present time.
That the tetxllc workers here repre
sented call upon the people In Philadel
phia to support them in their struggle
tor fair play and for a chance to live
ns citizens of a great American city
should live.
The resolution was based on a re
port of the Labor Durcau of New York
city, which made the point that the
workers could not possibly accept any
cut in wages and said the manufactur
ers who the report held had made
&reat profits during the war, should
ear the burden of the present indus
trial depression.
In the resolutions the workers tie
which have furnished them adenuate
financial reserves for the present crisis,
and that the workers during the same
period were denied any share of this
proseprlty, nnd in fact during that time
received wages that were Inadequate to
enable them to meet the Increased cot
of living. It was also decided to resist
to the limit any attempt to make them
accept uaec reductions. It was stated
that only tft per cent of the textile work
ers were foreigners.
Experts Got Klgiires
The Labor Ilurcau report was read
by Evans Clark, director of the bureau,
formerly an Instructor in politics nt
Princeton. The Labor Bureau is n New
York organization of experts, most ovj
tnem college men and specialists In
economics, which conducts investiga
tions and compiles statistics for the
unions. The figures embodied In the
report, which follow, were obtained
lorjelv from the Commercial Museum
and similar Institutions,
Hit Ily nuslncss Depression
The textile Industry in Philadelphia
as elsewhere, has been affected to as
great a dejree ns any other by the pres
ent business depression. Every compe
tent authority, however, admits that
his depression Is temporary : thennturn'
reaction from unrcnlthy wnrtlme Infla
tion. Opinion of thu well-Informed in
the financial and business world 1"
iiractlcally unanimous tlmt the countrt
Is on tho verge of a period of bushies
recovery and ultimate prosperity. Opln
inn is only divided upon the date when
tho revival will begin. Home nredirt
February or March ; other April ; the
more conservrttlvo prophesy nut latet
than Mny or June.
"The problem which the Philadelphia
textile Industry faces Is this: Wliloli
party, capital or labor, should bear the
burdens of this period of transition?
"TIr- accumulated net profits of the
02. textile plant3 in this city during th
j ears 1D1G to lftlll Inclusive were an
proximately ..!.-i-,.tm. iiuring the
year lillR nlone the peak year of pros
perity, the total profits amounted to nt
least SinL'.OlS.TOO, or an nverogo of
yjiVMiuu per pmnt counting nig and
little, well and ill-managed alike. The
profits of theso 025 textile firms aver
aged In 1018 n. much ns 117 per cent of
the invested capital in the industry and
JU per cent or tnc total cost of produc
tion for that year.

Some Profits Are More
"In some branches of the Industry
the prollts vastly exceed these figures,
For instance, the twenty Philadelphia
hosiery nnd knit goods manufacturers
mnde net profits of 200 per cent on their
Invested capital and 1JU oh their cost
of production In 11)18: the twcnty-nlnn
wate plant mnde 244 per cent, and
HW per cent, respectively, In the same
jear.
"Some of the smaller concerns made
even greater profits. Four plants manu
facturing bags netted 031 per cent on
their Invested capital In 11)1; and two
uooi-miiiing concerns in the same year
made 811 per cent on their capital. Dur
ing the five years, 11)15 to 1010 Inclu
of $0.14. Prices of nectssltlea had risen
with such rapidity In the meantime,
however, that In 1010 the living wage
level had reached $1803. The textile
worker In 1010, therefore, received $800
less than he needed to keep his family
In health nnd decency. The protection
afforded flic Phllndenhla textile worker
against squalor and disease in 1010 was
less by $327 than it had been In 101B.
"The year Just closed lias proven even
re disastrous for the Philadelphia
slve, the nverage net profits of the 025
Philadelphia textile tilunf.s Increased
some 327 per cent.
"In some branches of tho Industry the
Increase was even greater. Profits In
the manufacture of blankets (eleven
Arms) Increased 1110 per cent. In the
cotton goods group fifty-six concerns
increased their net profits 710 per cent,
while twenty-two plant manufacturing
hnndkerchlefs, lace, etc.. Increased
theirs JS40 per cent. Wool-pulling
profits increased 443 per cent; brnids,
tapes nnd binding, 310 per cent; bocs.

per cent.
"Dilrlnr these same flrn vonr of ron.

the cost of living incrensrd faster nnd
left them in 1020 even further beiow

were before.
$41 1 Average Annual Wage
"The average annual wage received
by the Philadelphia textile worker In
1015 was $411. In 101ft the least pos

more
textile workers. Without any lowering
of the wage scale the amount of wages
actually received by the workers hna
already been substantially reduced in
tne industry, ine almost complete
shutdown of the local mills during the
utHt three to four months has forced the
1020 wage level down to an extent that
Is breeding desperation among the ma
jority of textile workers. There is more
hnrdshlp nnd suffering among the
workers today than there has been for
the last ten years,
1920 Figures Not Available
"Complete Wage statistics for 1020
are not yet available. Investigation
among textile workers, however, indi
cates that the average wage for 1020
will opproxlmatcl $000 or about one
half of tho living wage standard for that
year. In 1015 the margin between the
nctuul and the living wage was but
$,"42. Now It has been increased to
$1088.
"During the five-year period of 1015
to 1010 inclusive the mill owners piled
up net profits thnt amounted to half a
billion dollars. In this prosperity the
workcra were denied till participation.
Instead, the owners pocketed among
themselves some $148,235,200 and gave
each worker $702, or about $15 a week.
"The possible average wage increase
allowing for a (1 per cent return on in
vestment for the tlve-ycar period, Is as
follows: 1015, $307: 1010, $1238;
11117, $1581; 1018, $2450, and 1010,
$2058. The five-year total is $7730. A
deep feeling exists among the messes of
textile workers that if the mill owners
failed to share with them the blessings
I of prosperity the mill owners hnve no
right to iotcc tnem to shoulder tne bur- I
den of hard times.
"Any reduction In wage scales nt this '
time would be obviously a disaster to i S
nee uu.uuu worKers. it would bring i
thousand of families face to face with
extreme undernourishment, lack of suffi
cient clothing nnd evietlone from their
homes. Wage scale reductions, further
more, ennnot be Justified on the basis of
a decline In the cost of living. Until tho
workers In any Industry receive a living
wage there Is no Justification for wage
d.luctlons, Tho cost of living would
havo fo fall 53 per cent to make the
present average, wage adequate to muln
tain a worker's family in. health and
decency."
Disagreed In Lawrence
In Lawrence, Mas?,, according to
word received today, thn toxtlte work
ers are disagreed as to the proper course
to take in face of the announce cut
In wages.
The American Woolen Co, and other
big mills in Lawrence hnve announrcd a
22 W Pr cent cut. The United Textile
orkera of America, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, have
decided against a strike. They made
the statement, however, that "when the '
time Is ripe the United Textllo Workers !
of America, backed by the American
eacrnwon ot jaDor, will seek restora
tion of tho 22 per cent In wages
stolen from us through the manipulation
of the employers,"
The Amalgamated Textile Workers
of America, which favors the "one big
union" Idea, has left to its locals In nnd
about Lawrence the choice of striking
or accepting the' reduction. The 'union
will give full support, however, to any

Benjamin Franklin
Invented a
Musical Instrument
Wonderful Progress
made in recent years
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, whose birth
day is today and who is featured this
week by the Thrift Week Committee
because he was such a noted advocate of thrift,
was a great lover of music. In 1762 he in
vented a musical instrument known as the
Armonica. This was played by the fingers
touching revolving glass discs passing through
water.
During the 159 years since Franklin's
invention wonderful progress has been made
in the development of musical instruments.
This is particularly true in the case of the
piano, the player-piano and the phonograph,
the last two being the product of the twentieth
century.
The remarkable spread of music among
the general public since the advent of these
instruments has clearly demonstrated the in
herent universal love for music.
The action of the Thrift Week Committee
in inviting the Music Industry to co-operate
in its campaign definitely classifies musical
instruments as a desirable investment for the
thrifty because of their educational value and
of the permanent pleasure to be derived.
We are celebrating Thrift Week by con
tinuing our Annual Sale of Used Pianos and
Player-Pianos an unusual opportunity to
secure a good piano or player-piano at a
reasonable price,

ThiB sale has always been the most important of the whole year, and will
be found by far more important than any we have ever held before on account of
the foremost silk manufacturers having been forced to liquidate their stocks of
staple silks at a less price than they could be reproduced, even at the lowest
price raw silk has reached in its tumble from $18.00 to $6.00 per pound, also, on
account of the stringency in the money market and curtailment of credit by the
banks, for several weeks we have been making largo purchases of regular, staple
silk for spot cash, some of the makes are a household word throughout Penna.
Wo have been requested by' the manufacturers not to mention their names in
