Hosiery payrolls rebound as High Point braces for full recovery

Labor leaders say deliveries may resume on booked orders if mills honor the agreement, and no new trouble is expected. A line of hosiery workers paid initiation fees at the Industrial Workers Association headquarters signaling solid support for workers rights amid the recovery.
