The Central Textile Union is planning to organize a demonstration of many unemployed men in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to demand work at fair wages or unemployment relief. Such a demonstration has been delayed several times in the hopes that conditions would improve and it would not be necessary, but this has not come to pass. Many unions are cooperating to bring together demonstrators from different trades, including a number of different unions related to the textile industry. Organizers have stated that this will be a law-abiding demonstration.
