TrotHs Went to Government "Furthermore, the council seems to lmvn overlooked the fact that the more money the manufacturers made tho prcater the amounts they turned over to the government. These sunn have been enormous. The workers do not tnkc that Into consideration. There Is "no reason why the manufacturers should make nny answer to the Rratultlous as sertion of the Textile Council that enormous prollts have been made. "A comparison of the cost of living as It gradually Increased from 1013 to 1020, with the increased wages paid In the textile trades during the Bame period, will show that the weavers In the Wilton trade, nbout which I am best (iiinlllled to speak, were ublo to force the manufacturers to pay an ex cess In wages of about 35 per cent over the lncrcned living cost. Every ono knows that the 'Wilton wenvors made a nice living before the war. "This being the case, why should the manufacturers be forced to continue to pay them this excess now thnt the artl llclol condition litis passed which made it possible for the wenvers to demand ii rate that was unreasonably high? If they nre getting 35 per cent too much why should they object to a reduction of 25 per rent? "The fact of the mnttcr Is that the Wilton weavers have an extremely strong union nnd have had things their own way during the war.' Now they nre trying to foice us to comply with their wishes.
