How did tlicy nrrlvo at those flfeurcn?
Certainly It wnn not hy cxumlnlnu tho
books of the (125 textile mills they say
are operated in Philadelphia.
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. The wnr is over now nnd
we don't intend to stand for It."

Hear these famous Victor artists!
Extraordinary interest attaches to these recitals because of
the double opportunity they afford the music-loving public.
It is a privilege in itself to hear these recitals, and added
importance is given to the events in that they enable you to
compare the exquisite interpretations of the orchestra and the
soloists with their Victor Records.
Attend these concerts and note the qualities that distinguish
their renditions. Then go to any Victor dealer's and hear the
Victor Records by the same artists. Note how faithfully their
interpretations are portrayed on the Victrola.
It is because of this absolute fidelity that they make Victor
Records; that the greatest artists of all the world are Victor
artists.
Victrolas in great variety of styles from $25 to $1500. New
Victor Records demonstrated at all dealers on the 1st of each
month.
