Textile workers warn U S industry may die without foreign competition
Emil Rieve, president of the CIO Textile Workers Union of America, warned at the TWUA biennial convention in Atlantic City that the U S textile industry faces ruin unless it can compete with Britain and Japan. He cited a drop to 900000 workers from 1250000 and said 350000 former workers are out of jobs, with 200000 on short time, while the union shrank from 400000 to 325000 under contracts. He argued wage gaps and high tariffs are not a solution, though they may be needed to save the industry.
