WAGE EQUALITY EFFORT
SEEN IN SOUTHERN MILLS

NEW YORK, May Especially The
present labor crisis in the Southern
textile mills, according to the United
Business Service, is of deeper signifi-
canoe than is generally recognized.
This is more than an ordinary strike.
It marks a turning point in Southern
labor conditions.
For many years past there has been
a steady movement of textile mills to
+ the South. This was based partly
on nearness to raw material bus chiefly
on the attraction OF cheaper labor and
absence of labor troubles. 1t is now
evident that with the increase in manu-
featuring operations in Southern States
the condition Of cheap and easily man.
aged labor supply is passing and labor
situation is beginning to develop more
like that existing in the textile centers
of New England.
Not only have efforts begun to raise
wages in the South, but an active cam
paign is now on to unioniZe the work.
ers and to improve working and living
conditions for labor In the South as
they have been improved in the North.
Northern labor. meanwhile, has been
somewhat chastened and has acquired
a more reasonable disposition as the
result of long period OF depression.
Thus 1t is evident that conditions
are now tending to even UP as between
| the two Sections-a situation which Is
encouraging TO the owners of Northern
mills and allied enterprises.
