Hosiery mill workers vote wage cuts and holiday layoff
Durham timetables show five local hosiery mills and state plants closing December 16 for a Christmas vacation. For two weeks prior, a four day week with ten hour days brings wage cuts of 10 percent, then a further 15 percent on December 13 for an almost 25 percent total reduction. Opening January 3 resumes four day weeks with the current wage scale. Officials hope industrial readjustment brings work later.
