Wage Cuts Ordered
For 10000 10 Help
AiIing Hosiery Mills
BY the Asseeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Twenty
thousand hosiery workers will re-
ceive wage reductions ranging UP
to Is per cent under a decision
handed down yesterday by a spe-
cial wage tribunal.
The tribunal said the decision
was taken "in a determined ef-
fort to keep 20 major hosiery
mills from going out Of business
and to safeguard the Jobs OF thou
sands of hosiery workers"
It attributed the plight of the
mills to competition from non
union areas which pay lower
wages.
In Mill Association.
The workers affected by the
wage cut are employed in mills
whose managements are associ-
ated under the Full-Fashioneo
Hosiery Manufacturers OF Amer
lea, Inc.
-Four thousand Of the workers
are employed in Philadelphia and
others in Reading, Pa; Milwaukee
Wis, and Fort Wayne and In
dianapolis. Ind.
The tribunal consisted OF Sam
uel F. Rubin, president OF the
manufacturers association; VIII
liam M. Leader, vice president OF
the AFL's American Federation OF
Hosiery Workers, who dissenteo
in the decision, and Ralph Seward
of Washington. neutral member.
Present wage scales OF the al
fected workers were not available.
But, alluding to non-unlon
competition, the tribunals state
ment said wage differential as
high as 81 per dozen pairs OF
hose manufactured existed be-
tween union and non union mills.
Labor Costs Cited.
"A significant number OF mills
had already liquidated because OF
their inability to operate in this
highly competitive market, bur-
dened with such labor costs" the
statement said.
Although the sales OF full
fashioned hosiery had reached a
record peak last year, union mills
were steadily losing business, the
statement continued.
Citing statistics, the statement
said that in the last three months
of 1851 only 100000 of 13 mil
lion dozen pairs of full-fashioned
hosiery manufactured in America
were turned out by union mills.
Normally, Is per cent is pro-
duced by union mills in the IN
dustry, the statement said.
Hearings on the wage situation
were held in Philadelphia on
January 21 and %.
Big Plant Shuts Down.
Testimony at the hearings in
dicated one of the largest mills
in the country, Rosedale Knitting
Mills, OF Reading. Pa, shut down
in January because it could no
longer operate with present labor
COSTS" the tribunal reported.
LAS a result, some Of its ma
shinery was moved South to plants
In non-union sections OF the
country. Unless the present wage
cut had gone into effect, other
mills would probably do the
same"

/ Textile Business Bad.
Right now the textile business
lis very bad. in woobenS anc
worsteds, as we'll as in cottons and
rayons, and there is no improves
ment in sight.
So a large part of New England
| is in a slump at a time wher
the economics of most parts o1
the country are riding at all-tin1e
high levels. Unemployment is
heavy and mounting. Many mills
including some of the largest EN-
ployers. are threatening to shut
down permanently or move to the
South. If they carry through the
threats, New England, or a large
part of it, will be in a major
depression.
UNLESS the situation is changed
shortly" said Edward F. Walker
of the Rhode Island Textile AS
scciation, there will be no situa'
ton to change" -.
There are two reasons for the
critical situation. One is that the
textile business nationally ha!
been in q slump since last May
and it has gradually become more
severe. High inventories Of goods
and apparel at all levels Of trade
and slackened civilian demand
have caused it.
The other reason is the old ont
of the inability of Northern pro-
ducers to meet the competition
for business of mills in the South
where the costs are much les
because of lower wages, higher
worker output and more favorable
tax situations.
