thing. Naturally, they admit, there has been a tendency to reduce la bor costs.
 Neither side says this first of all NRA codes has failed. The indus try swears allegiance to it and Chairman Francis German of the strike committee says the code would be all right if it were not being violated in spirit and prac- tice. The industry realizes that under the code prices have been held without being demoralized and the existence of high cost mills preserved. Continued unrestrained competition would have put out of business many mills which now at least are able to break even while low cost mills show real profit.
 The union realizes that under the code it has been able to ex- pand its membership many times to the point where it feels strong enough to strike. That child labor has been abolished, that at least 100000 more men and women are now employed in the industry than there were eighteen months ago, that the maximum work week has been established at 40 hours and that the average hourly wage was raised from the pre-code level of 21 or 22 cents to 37 cents, which is about Is per cent above 1929. But the union. complains that only weekly pay envelopes and not hourly rates buy groceries.
 The code provided minimum wages of SIS In the North and SIP in the South on the maximum 40- hour week basis. But cotton mill workers have since been averag- ing 36 hours of work a week, so
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-31

couldn't save them from such hard blows. They had to win concessions l either through strike or federal
 mediation--or else lose their jobs. The crisis came when. after three summer months under the curtailment program which meant
 two-shift, 60-hour operating weeks
 instead of the codes allowance of
 SO-hour weeks. the code authority
 proposed September-O -October-No-
 vember program of four weeks at 1 80 hours, meaning a maximum of 40 hours for each worker, and
 then eight weeks of curtailment,
 meaning repetition of the summer limit of 90 hours per worker-at the same old hourly wage rate.
 Cotton Consumption Drops
 Now that you have some idea as | to why textile labor decided to strike. look at the manufacturers side of the picture. The reason they must curtail production ani employment and pay what MIRA officials admit are miserably low wages is that the public won't or can't buy enough cotton goods at present high prices to keep the mills going on any other basis. Cotton consumption. even allow ing for the normal seasonal drop, has actually gone 13 per cent be- low the level for the bank panic month of March, 1883. Higher prices for cotton goods are due to greatly increased raw cotton prices. Higher labor and operat- ing costs are attributable to MIRA, the AAA processing tax and many cases of cotton mill over-capital- ization on which it is considered necessary to return a profit.
 Early last summer, even before | the code went into effect, the in- dustry was operating at pre-de- pression levels of production and employment. Employment rose from an index of 70 in March 10 99.5 in July as the industry sought to anticipate the code, wage and hou rstandards and other prospec- ! tive higher costs by piling up stocks of goods made at low wages and on long hour schedules.
 More Work Before Code There was much more actual employment in that pre-code peril cd when the average working week was around 55 hours, than there has ever been since under NRA's 40-h0ur maximum. For the em- ployment finder, which covers merely the number of men and women on payrolls. only rose to 101.G in August after a month of the code, fell to 99.6 in Septem- Der and was 94 in December, when the industry effected it's first curtailment schedule and textile workers were writing pathetic lett ters to MIRA here, complaining that Christmas was coming and there wasn't any work.
 March showed a high of 1O3.l during another big spurt, but the level gradually went below 94 again.
 Code Authority Indignant
 Chairman George A. Sloan of the cotton textile code authority and other industry leaders are pretty indignant about the strike because they insist they have lived up to the code and done every thing the government asked. They protest that when they signed the code they were given to under stand that general purchasing power would rise enough to %n- able the public to buy their goods and that it hasn't done any such
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-31

that their average wage prior to curtailment was about $13.32, while lowest paid workers were averag- ing but $10.S0 instead of the so- called code minimum.
 Under the curtailment plan the average worker is held to $11.10 week by the 30-hour limit and receives less than that because the average work-week has gone be- low 80 hours. Many individuals make more but many make less. The workers on the minimum scale in the South who can only get 20 hours a week are making but six dollars week-and the union will show you many such pay en- velopes, though as late as June the average week was 2S.S hours.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-31

But you mustn't forget "the stretchout." an equally important part of the picture. You get "the stretchout" when you're working in mill and tending a certain number of machines and the boss tells you you must handle some more. Those strong enough to cope with the added load are the ones who keep their jobs. The industry and the cotton textile in- dustrial relyations board say there has been littleof this abuse.
 But more than 1000 stretch outs" complaints have been for- warded here by workers nthe l. 900 American cotton mills-most- ly from the south. The industry's the complaints and seldom finds them justified. Buet the flood of complaints was sufficient to lead Secretary Perkins and Chairman Lloyd Garrison of the national labor relations board, as they sought to avert the strike. to be- neve some concession involving the stretchout would placate the workers. The 25 per cent curtail- ment order which meant a corre- spending reduction in weekly pay envelopes, piled on wide spread resentment at the stretch out, simply bred another of these big rank and file outbursts-in- creasingly common in the Ameri- can labor movement-which swept along the conservative national officials of the United Textile Workers.
 Other Complaints Made
 There were other complaints that workers were being fired for union activities and that mill own CTS were forcing maximum wages for skilled and semi-skilIed work CTS down to the code minimum, but there is little data in Wash- ington with which to judge the seriousness of these factors. Ma tionai union officers were hardly loath to go along with the striker wave because the ourtailment cut heavily into payment of union dues and some 250,000 newly organized workers were asking what good the union was doing them when It
