Textile Workers Seek 15-Cent Southern Wage Increase
The Textile Workers Union of America CIO seeks a 15 cent per hour general wage boost for 125,000 southern textile workers from 190 mills. Delegates authorized reopening contracts and immediate negotiations to close regional wage gaps, citing higher living costs and inflation. Balance sheets show southern averages about 94 cents versus northern 1.07 dollars, with mill profits rising 35 percent this year. Julliard Mills in Georgia were among few not to respond yet.
