The Betterment of Labor in Southern Cotton Mills
A review by Mr Holward J Sanborn of the National Association of Manufacturers concludes the Southern cotton mill towns show notable improvements in worker conditions. Pelzer and Molzer in South Carolina illustrate paternal employment, strict schooling, housing, libraries, savings, and church life. The report credits mill leadership, notably Capt Kilison A Smyth, with civilizing influence and argues Southern mills uplift labor without foreign immigration.
