Many traders are arguing that re-
ciprocal tariffs will furnish the quickest
and best method of stabilizing foreign
trade Under their system Uncle Sam
would take more raw materials, not
produced in the United States, in ex-
change for a greatly increased volume
of finished goods.

CODES AFFECT CAROLINAS

RALEIGH, N. c., July 22.-With the
textile code, which directly Affects more
than 10 per cent of the States popu-
lation, concluding Its flrst week OF
operation, and with the cotton produc-
ton plan, which directly affects another
large group, about to be put into erect.
North Carolina's interest IN the new
deal has ceased to be academic and
the new plans have become . vital
part of the States life, with the pros
perity Of the people Of the State d.
rectly dependent upon their success.
Acceptance Of the national recovery
act, which has its principal applica-
ton IN North Carolina In the cotton
textile code. has from the frst been
ole-heArted. Manufacturers saw IN
it much relief from over-production and
cut-throat competition, which made the
industry sick" long before the stock
market collapse Of 1929. Operatives
saw in the code q condition approach
ing close to the millennium, with the
new minimum wage Of $l2 about three
times that previously prevailing and
the working hours Of 40 per week about
two-thirds Of previous Standard. The
only fear Of the operatives has been
lest the new conditions should turn
out to be too good to be true" but
workers in other industries, particu-
larly in hosiery plants centering In
High Point, have been unwilling to wait
for their own lot to be bettered in
the course Of events and launched
what was generally regarded as an ILL
timed strike-through fear that the
code to be adopted for their industry
would not reflect Q corresponding i'm
provement In conditions, which were
much better to start with In the hosiery
plants than in the cotton cloth mills,

code proper.

did not cooperate voluntarily would
be forced to do %.
But the cotton farmers were much
slower to see the benefits for them
selves and, in fact, the cotton reduc-
ton campaign ended with North Caro-
lima short Of its quota. But an analysis
Of the figures is revealing farmers OF
the State signed for less than two
thirds Of the requested acreage, but
the number Of bales taken out Of pro-
duction was 90 per cent Of the amount

to pad estimates of yields was sharply

Der Of operating cotton spindles in the
Nation, do not know where they are

adhction to the majority Of the man.

uniform Federal control, but now that
It has come. with its several apphca-
tions. they are uncertain Of the future.
future.
The changes that have been worked
are most drastic. Heretofore with two
shifts the overhead has been borne by
ITO hours q week. Now 1t Is to be
borne by 90 hours . week with two
shifts. This Is an increase of overhead
load by 375 per cent. Taking one Of
the largest aggregation of mills, here
tofore 80 per cent Of its labor got $3.50
and 50 Q week for IS hours q week
Now this same labor Is to get $l2 q
week for 20 hours. The laborer who
heretofore got $3.50 q week for SIS hours,
or 1876 cents an hour, Il hereafter to
get $l2 for 40 hours, or 80 cents an
hour, an increase Of more than 200 per
cent. And the laborer who received 50
for IS hours, or 1853 cents an hour, Is
to receive 80 cents an hour, about 1877
per cent increase. These two classes
cover the unskilled lAborers.
The skilled laborers have been receiv-
ing SIS to $lS . week for IS hours
They are to receive the same amount,
maybe more, for 40 hours. A decision
IS to whether those who have been re-
ceiving more than $12 . week are to be
increased, and how much, II any, Is
awaited from Washington. All who re-
ceived more than $12 . week work
under an agreement that increase in
pay Is determined by Washington Is to
be retroactive and to date from the
time the textile schedule went into ef-
feet, July II.
The provisions - to child labor Is
more satisfactory. Now families can
not 60 from mill to mill seeking where
the greatest number Of children would
be employed. The only trouble will be
to detect Misrepresentation as to age.
But the consensus Of manufacturers
IS that they welcome the change, and
are well pleased that Federal control

he Is going, but he Is on. the way with
all others In like condition.
