C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1947 Mills Raise Wages The textile mills here and in Gold- \ lie have announced an increase in .vapes effective this week for their .employees, in keeping with increases given in other textile a:eas. The raise tame voluntarily without strikes or threats, which 1 is to the credit of employers and employees. The old cry of labor leaders used m be the difference between textile wages in the South and those in the North, with the scale of pay in favor of the letter. No such disparity exists now, since the wage-hour law for the textile industry puts all plants prae- trcally on a parity. The truth is,!, the Southern textile worker, due to cer tain economic conditions, gets more from his weekly payroll, envelope than Northern workers. The rates charged for house rent in mill vill ages' in this area, is a notable exam- -pl.e keeper, developed a great on sound principles, and not through the benevolence of government. Those who are watching the present day scene are well aware of the fact that orgahized efforts are now being exerted to undermine confidence in our private enterprise system which has made this country great and given every citizen the maximum m opportunity, freedom and religious liberty. Our salvation rests in our .1 own hands—not in Washington. The danger is that we are listening to false prophets rather than -following the teachings of our forefathers. the cbunsell members say this is the. only way to protect our citizen', against rat fever which is worser than rabbit fever, they say a flea business bites a rat and then comes and bites the people and whoever has benn bit ketches the fever that the said rat had when him or her was first bit COMMERCIAL HOUSEHOLD WIRING Electrical Appliance Repairing and Electrical Construction Work Floor Plugs A Specialty ARNOLD M.
