INCREASE IN PAY OF TEXTILE
WORKERS SEEN - A. F. OF L SAYS
THERE WILL BE NO “WALKOUT
NEW YORK CITY, Dee. 27.—Ad
▼iaing against hasty and ill-considered
strike action, Joseph Sylvia, president
of the Federation of Woolen and
Worsted Workers of America, A. F.
of L. affiliate, commented sharply
here on a CIO strike threat.
A general wage increase is believed
ilL,proip?* •»* will be no
strike, Sylvia said at his union’s head
quarters in the Bible House, 46 As tor
“My attention has been called,” said
President Sylvia, "to a statement is
sued by the officials of the CIO tex
tile union, threatening to cal la strike
in the woolen and worsted industry.
Contracts To Be Kept
"As presflent of the Woolen and
Worsted Federation, affiliated with
— A. F. of L, I would inform all
concerned that there will not be a
strike in the woolen and worsted in
dustry.
“First of all, we have contracts and
agreements with a number of mills
providing for collective bargaining
and the right to take up the wage
Th*“ contracts
will not be violated.
Secondly, we announced our wage
policy two weeks ago, giving as our
mmamummm
reason for a general wage raise, the
increased living costs and profitabil
ity of the mills to grant the same. We
have already negotiated wage in
creases in some mills and others are
in the process of negotiation.
"Third, according to our laws, no
strike can be called without a vote of
the members. We understand that
the statement issued by the officials
of the CIO textile union is designed to
force the unorganised textile workers
into the CIO. These workers will not
be deceived by trick statements.
“We are advising the unorganised
textile workers not to be stampeded
into any strike and advising them
further to come into the federation
and take up their wage grievances
and other working conditions through
the process of collective bargaining.
The organised textile workers have
not voted to strike. The unorganised
are in no position to strike.
“Our federation has just concluded
a meeting of our executive board. Our
information was that a general in
crease in wages wuold be granted in
the near future. We propose to wait
until the first of the year before tak
ing any further actions. We are
therefore, making our position lmown
at this time to avoid misunderstand
ing."
