Post War Increases In Cotton Mill
Wage Rates Output Cost OF Living

Atlanta, Ga.-CCtton textile
wages have increased faster
than living costs since the end
of World War II, according to
the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics.
Average hourly earnings in all
southern cotton mills rose So
per cent between VI Day and
June of l948.
In the same period, the nation
al consumer price index, com
monty known as the "cost of liv-
ing" advanced 3 per cent, from
an index point of 1898 in August
of 1945 to 171.7 in June of this
year.
Not only are higher postwar
wages helping cotton textile
workers in their battle with the
high cost of living, but cotton
mill wage rates have also ad-
vanced more rapidly in the three
years since VI Day than in the
four years of war from Decem-
Der, 194l, to Auguest, 1945.
The prevailing average gross
hourly wage in southern mills
during December, l941, was 48.3
cents. By August of 1945 this
had climbed to % cents, an in
crease of 42.9 per cent. BIS fig
ures for Ju.e, 1913, however,
show that The average hourly
wage rate in mills of the South
had gone up to S1.04, a 50 per
cent advance from the average
rate paid during TIE last month
of the war.
Not included in these official
figures is an additional across
the board pay Nike generally put
into effect in southern areas two
months ago.
The upward postwar trend of
wages has occurred throughout
the industry as a whole, North
and South. The steady pace of
wage increases since the war
helps account lor the overall
rise of III per cent in cotton
textile hourly earnings from 1899
to 1913, as reported by the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics. This .
was a greater relative increase
than occurred in any other man
ufactuing industry in the coun-
try.
Voluntary minimum wage
rates established by the industry
have likewise increased regu-
larly and at the present time are
more than double those specified
by federal wage regulations.
In addition to the wage rate
advances, textile employees
have also benefited during the
past five yars by vacation pay
increases, paid holidays, insur-
ance and similar benefits.
That the cotton textile employ
ee's wages are keeping ahead of
the rising cost Of living is also
brought out in a study by the
National City Bank of New York,
which estimates that the cotton
textile employee has had a 90
per cent gam in living standards
since 1910 alone.
In a report on economic condi-
tons, the banking institution
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-11-21

computes the command over
goods and services afforded by
groups of persons with given
types of incomes. From these
incomes it subtracts taxes and
adjusts the balance for changes
in the cost of living from base
period of 100 in 1880. The re-
suits show the extent to which
a person is better or worse off
over a period Of years.
The banks index for cotton
textile employees rose from 100
in 1880 to 107 in 1910, 127 in 1945
and 139 in l947. Ii contrast, the
index for auto workers scared to
IA in 1910 but dropped to 1872 in
1947. Persons On fixed incomes
fare bad'' in times like the pre-
sent, the study shows. Well
to-do stockholders, for example,
suffered a decline in living stan
dards from the 1880 index point
of 100 to 58 in 1947.

Monarchs Trounce
Braves 80 to @

The Carver High School Mon
archs closed their 1948 grid cam
paign with an impressive 800 vic
tory over the Phoenix Indian
School Braves. For the Monarchs,
the win was their fourth of the
season in nine starts, a very en-
couraging percentage in view OF
the fact that the school has fielded
its first football team in nearly a
decade.
Wendell Scott scampered around
right end for 48 yards and the ini-
tial touchdown early in the first
stanza for Coach Gus Shaw's crew.
The TRIP for the extra point failed.
Carver added two more six-point-
ers in the second quarter on runs
of So and "a yards by James Bill
ton and Bill Kennard, respectively.
A pass from Nelson Mathis to Scott
was good for the extra point after
Billions touchdown. Carver en-
joved a 1910 lead at half-time.
Leonard Camper added the next
touchdown on a 65 yard run in the
third quarter Freshman Ernest
Walker plunged over for the extra
point. The remainder of the third
stanza was played near mid-field.
Mathis scored another six-pointer
in the final quarter, and passed
to Walker for the extra point. The
final score was set UP by blocked
kick deep in the Braves territory.
Willie Mccoy plunged over from
the six-yard line.
Seniors playing their last game
for the Monarchs were Nelson Ma
this, Willie Kennard, Charles Van
Dyke, Doeg Nelson and Pete Dur
ham. Outstanding for the Braves
were Felix Noriego, Pete Laxon,
Captain Vincent Little and Eugene
Sundust.

DRAKE WILL OPPOSE EITHER
TUCSON OR TEMPE IN SALAD
BOWL ON NEW YEARS DAY.

Coach Al HAWAI- of Drake Uni
versity visited Phoenix last week
to look over the University of Ari-
Zona and the Arizona State College
at Tempe teams as potential rivals
for his squad in the Salad Bowl.
The Drake team, which won six
and lost three close games during
the season, was expected to meet
Arizona in the bowl tilt, the Sec
ond annual Kinwanis Club effort.
Money raised in the bowl will be
turned over to the clubs handi-
capped children's fund.
The bid to play in the bowl was
given to the University Monday,
after the team upset the favored
Marquette Hilltoppers in a Satur-
day night engagement, 24-14. The
Wildcats looked better than they
had at any time during the sea-
son.
Kinwanis Club officials, discuss
ing the bowl, stressed that this
years show will be statewide af-
fair, chiefly due to the participa-
ton of high school bands and floats
from all parts of the state.
A total of 33 bands have prom
ised to attend to take part in
monster parade of floats built by
the various high schools. A massed
band program and music by the
individual units is a feature of
plans for the game this year.
The contest is also expected to
establish the precedent of having
the best team from the three jAri-
zona colleges as the host club with
a good opponent from another part
of the country providing the oppo-
sition. From the standpoint of
crowd appeal as well as that of
gaining the state national publici-
ty, the plan is regarded as being
sound.

There is nothing left of the 10

won the district tournament and
went to the semi-finals of the
state tournament last year, yet the
club is opening against two of the
toughest teams in Arizona this
weekend meeting the Mustangs at
North Phoenix Friday night and
entertaining the st. Mary's Knights
at Carver Saturday night.
The team is really starting from
scratch. Coach J. S. Flipper had
hoped to have Erwin Bonner and
Wilson Hutchinson as nucleus for
this years club. Both were sopho-
mores last year but neither re-
turned to Carver High School.
The nearest thing to veteran
on the squad is Willie Kemp, six
foot, one-inch center, who was the
18th man on last years classy out
fit.
Carver will be represented this
year by 13-man squad made UP
of five sophomores, three fresh
men, a clever transfer, and the
rest Juniors, most of them close
enough to the age limit that this
will be their last year of competi-
ton.
The transfer is Calvin Watkins,
formerly of the Coolidge varsity
squad. Flipper thinks he is fine
ball-handler, although rather small
and not overly fast. Other men,
