Migration of New England textile plants to the South blamed on wages and workloads
A New England governors committee led by Harvard economist Seymour E. Harris attributes the migration of textile plants to the South to lower wages and heavier work loads there. The year-long study covers Lawrence, Lowell, Fall River and New Bedford, Manchester, Nashua, and Woonsocket, citing wage differentials up to 15-25 cents per hour and larger South workloads as key drivers. The report urges stronger New England congressional organization, minimum wage measures, and expanded unionism to reduce gaps.

If beef ceilings roll back, the effect would be small, up to four to five cents a pound on inexpensive cuts. Clothing accounts for about 10 percent of the budget and will soon fall to 33-35 percent under controls. Rent remains federally controlled in about 1,500 communities. Fruits and vegetables were exempted last summer by Congress.
