Cotton Textile Institute head outlines new wage code
George A. Sloan of the Cotton Textile Institute says the proposed code would create over 100000 new jobs and lift total textile employment to 515000 as the minimum wage of 11 dollars north and 10 south would boost purchasing power. He expects child labor to end within 60 to 90 days and argues the industry seeks protection from foreign competition. William Greene of the AFL opposes the 40 hour week and the minimum wage.
