Washington, April 5.—With indus
trial representatives favoring a quick
settlement, organized labor will de
mand a universal forty-cent hourly
minimum wage for cotton textile
workers April 14.
An eleven-man industrial commit
tee will meet here on that day to
formulate a hew wage agreement
which the wage-hour division hopes
may become effective by next July.
The prevailing minimum is thirty-
two and one-half cents an hour. It
was upon the order effecting t^
standard that the supreme comt
based a recent decision upholding
the wage-hour law.
According to the most recent esti
mates, 450,300 persons are employed
in the cotton goods branch of ^e in
dustry. Of those, 348,000 are in the
South. This is exclusive of the nar
row fabrics branch, which operates
chiefly in the North.
When the present committee’s pre
decessor met two years ago, labor
asked a forty-cent minimum. Indus
trial representatives sought a mini
mum of twenty-five cents. The thir
ty-two and a half recommendation
represented a compromise, although
a group of Southern industry men
never agreed to it.
Already, persons close to the situ
ation are speculating on another
compromise. A frequently mentioned
figure is thirty-six cents.
A chief dispute in the new deliber
ations—as was the case two years
ago—^may be a Southern demand for
wage differentials. Southern industry
representatives have contended high
er frei^t rates on manufactured
products 4nd lower costs of living
in the South entitled mills in that
area to a wage scale below that ap
plicable to their Northern competi
tors.
It was a Southern group that final
ly took the question to the courts.
They contended, among other things,
that the South did not have suffi
cient representation on the commit
tee and that C. 1. O. and A. F. L.
spokesmen did not speak for their
unorganized workers.
Some persons said there probably
woiild but little difficulty this
time in agreeing on a thirty-five or
thirty-six-cent minimum unless la
bor held out for the full forty emts.
Among reasons cited lor this belief
were recent voluntary raises, al
though it was pointed out these had
been spotty in the South.
Federal officials said all manufac
turers desired a settlement at the
earliest possible date, & because their
bids on government orders would be
affected. Manufacturers, it was said,
must take any wage boost into ac
count in fixing their bids.
It was reported here the labor or
ganizations would point to a rising
cost of living and general improve
ment of business conditions.
The establishment of the thirty-
two and a half cent minimum two
years agb brought wage increases to
an estimated 175,000 workem, wage-
hour officials said. When the old
committee first considered the wage
minimum, government economists
estimated 52 per cent of the Indus
try’s employes received less than
thirty-five cents and about 70 per
cent less than forty cents.
Labor department economists are
working on a new study of em:?loy-
ment conditions in the industry. The
report will be handed to committee
members vdien they convene here.
Ten out of twenty-one committee
members are Southerners. They are:
Representing the public: Barry
Bingham, Louisville, Ky.; Arthur
Raper, Greensboro, Ga.; Harry D.
Wolfe, Chapel Hill, N. C., and Colo
nel Ike Akibum, College Statiem,
Texas.
Representing manufacturers: Don-|
aid Comer, Birmingham, Ala.; Char
