Textile workers cite pay and hours as obstacle to recovery
William S. Betty, spokesman for New Bedford and Fall River textile councils, argues the cotton goods industry pays too little and operates too few hours. He cites May 1933 wages of about $10.40 weekly, with some envelopes as low as $4.54, and calls for a universal 40 hour week to put hundreds of thousands back to work. He warns unequal weekly standards across industries would be unfair.
