LABOR. CONDl-
TIOlV IMPROVES
Little Idle Machinery. in Eextile
Plants
MANY MILLS ARE
,s; OvERsToCKED
Wages and Housing Conditions
Were Never Better Officials
Declare

Colnmbia, August 2-7-Iabor condi-
ttons In the cotton mills OF the state
show marked Improvement in recent
mcnthE acc ording to reports reaching
the state department OF agriculture
from the textile plants of the state.
There is very little idle machinery in
the cotton mills, state mill inspectors
for the department.
At the sslme time, the mill inspect
ors state that they are told by many
of the mill officials, especially those
of mills that manufacture sheeting
and the like, that at the present time
many Of the mills are overstocked on
goods and some are expecting to have
TO shut down temporarily in order for
sales TO catch up with production.
During the early part OF the year
there was a great deal of .dle ma
ciiinery in the mills. Labor was hard
toget. The mill inspectors state that
this is not the condition now; that la Z
Dor sis more Plentiful with the cotton
manufacturing plants, and the trend
Is towards a lowering OF prices.
The increase in the supply Of mill
labor Is ascribed by mill officials as
being due to several things. Many
of the mill operatives have worked on
the farfnS and now that crops are laid
by they are back at their looms.
Building operations Of the country
have slackened to an extent, releas-
ing a number of employees.
Living conditions among mill oper-
atives were never better. Wages and
housing conditions are good, and
much is being done by the mill au-
thorttfes in the neture OF welfare
work.
