Foes of 32 1 2 Cent Minimum Textile Wage Argue Case
Atlanta June 28 Opponents of a proposed 32 1 2 cent minimum wage for textile workers argued that general wage minima under the wage hour law are already high enough. Mill operators led the opposition at a public hearing before wage hour administrator Elmer Andrews as he weighs the industry backed minimum against the existing 25 cent general minimum rising to 30 cents Oct 24. Proponents claim the industry can bear it, that southern living costs justify higher pay, and that low wages harm workers. Witnesses cited insanitary conditions and urged action while northern plants were accused of moving south to exploit cheap labor.
