cotton mills have been as low q q o
Sc week for some types Of wusk.
There have been no fixed hours Of
work In the industry except in States
where q maximum number Of hours Is
fixed by law. This, in most cases, Is IS
hours week
The code will bring to thousands an
automatic wage increase, as the $12 and
$13 are minimum wages, with higher
scales prevailing for skilled workers.
Many mills in recent weeks have
voluntarily increased wages, but the
majority Of these increases were to
restore previous reductions, and in many
instances additional increases will be
necessary to meet the codes require
ments.
The code was drawn up and approved
by the Cotton Textile Industry Com.
mittee, in collaboration with Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson, administrator of the re-
covery act. 1t was also approved by
President Roosevelt, who retains the
right to amend, modify or cancel any
part of 1t and to approve supplement
tary provisions.
Few Decide on Course.
Few cotton mill executives have de-
cided how the plan, will work out for
them individually. Many have declared
the plan will have to be allowed to
work itself out" Shortage of skilled
labor in some sections may work
against the code at first.
Each mill will be allowed to decide
whether to run double or single shifts.
Executives were hopeful the code would
first absorb all surplus textile labor.
Learners during a six-week apprentice
ship, cleaners and outside employees are
not included in the minimum wage
agreement.
Leaders Of the industry in the North
and East saw in the new code pos
sible return Of some Massachusetts, cities
to leadership in cotton textile produc-
ton. In recent years the textile
leadership has shifted to the South,
with South Carolina a consistent
leader in the number of spindles in
operation, although North Carolina
has the largest number Of spindles IN

Former Kaiser Disagrees
 With Technocrats; Declares
 MacIline Rule Can Be Broken

DOORN, Holland, Feb. 21.- Copyright by the Asso ocia e d Press) Wilhelm the Second, for mer Emperor of Germany, reflect ing in solitude and punishment, looking upon American discussions concerning technocracy, has arriv- ed at the conclusion that the tech nocrats are wrong in conceding su- premacy to machine rule.
 He believes that by International agreement and cooperation ma chine rule can be broken by the same human mind which called the machine into being. Only then can the problem of unemployment be solved
 [ The former Emporer's views, briefly, are that unemployment cannot be cured by material means alone. for it is spiritual dis tress.'
 The human mind can control the machine. One effective way of meeting unemployment is that of taking industrial workers out of the big cities away from the ma chine dominated factory and put ting them to work building streets, canals or cultivating waste land, or colonizing them" as small farm CTS.
 The machine must be regulated by International agreement, he concludes.

HE STUDIES THE BUDGET

Visitors to Warm Springs found the President-E Elect with copy of that ponderous volume known as ''the budget" open across his knees, and saw the light of indig- nation flaming in his eyes as he reviewed the multitudinous expen- ditures of boards and bureaus.
 His first reorganization propos- als, such as the consolidation of numerous regulatory functions un- der one highly centralized agency figuratively took away the breath of some of his own supporters in Congress.
 His plan for development of the Tennessee valley was so far-flune in its ramifications that there car be no question it was designed to remake the whole pattern ot daily life throughout a large sec- ton.
 The Roosevelt proposals on war debts-likely to be the key to American foreign policy for some years to come-remain to be de- veloped in detail, but it can be said with reasonable certainty that they are far removed from any, thing which has been considered in Washington heretofore.
