ten people, and the rest of the Industry in Philadelphia is employing
about one hundred and seventy-five. Considering the families dependent
on these People's ages, it would necessitate about twelve hundred
additional people going to the Relief Board.

 We are awaiting advice whether or not yrou %7ill have a meeting in
 Washington on Wednesday or Thursday of this 'cek. If so, -.e expect
 to be there to lodge our protest in person.

 7e hope it will hot be necessary to put this Industry in Philadelphi
 out of business.

 Yours very truly,

 IITGBER & COMLPAITY
