j "As Industry Prospers--So Prosper The People"
Extended Labor?Is It Fair ? I
SACED with a threatening competition which relentlessly demands better cotton goods at lower ., II
prices; and realizing that competition caff only be successfully,met through a permanent re-,. , " _ ' II
ductioit-in prodCction costs; many manufacturers of South Carolina as well as of other Southerh' '"* jj j
cotton manufacturing- states, Have, adopted at heavy Cost for new and improved machinery what v" II
is commonly Known as the extended labor system. , " ~ > - .11
The intricate nature of the textile industry has caused a misunderstanding in some cases of the j
| methods adopted. These methods have been in use in many South Carolina mills for years ' ||
with pleasing results. Particularly have they been successful in millf where there is a closer understand- |
ing between officials and operatives and a mutual appreciation of each others 'problems. | j
As a basis;of agreement in a South Carolina mill recently,' both officials and operatives con- . ||
j eluded that "The fundamental principles of extended labor are correct when prpperly applied." 11.
| The essentials of extended labor, applied principally to the weave room, lie in relieving the
weaver of all but the more technical operations of weaving; thus lifting him out of the class of common I
laborer and elevating him to the fioaition of skilled specialist. His assistants attend to the more laborious j
and simpler duties. Thujs the weaver is enabled to give his whole time to weaving. In his new capacity as j! j
expert weaver, he is enabled to SRfpervise more looms and'thus earn greater .wages. In one South Carolina l |
o", cotton mill the weaver who formerly alone attended 24 looms can now with more ease, less exertion and I I
greater skill, care for a hundred looms with tbe help of his assistants. With 100 looms, his~work-is no ||
heavier and his health is in no way jeopardized. However, the "number of looms attended is not an accu- ]
- rate measure of the weaver's accomplishments, Tor with different rmjls the width of the cloth varies, and II
:l with the width the number of threads per inch also varies. Some threads are coarse, others fine; some i
yarns are strong, others weak; and the more closely spaced the threads, the more difficult the weave. ')
~ ; Thus it is obvious that in one mill the handling of HO looms could be more difficult,than the operation ij
of 100 in another. - - V
Under the new system the principal duty of the weaver is that of tying broken threads. With ||
automatic looms the machine stops for every broken thread. Production costs are largely gauged by I
loom stops. As broken threads results from many causes, and there is a limit to the number of threads j
j a weaver can tie in a day, manifestly no mill can install the new system until so organized as to eliminate . II
defects all along the journey of the cotton through its machinery. No mill can successfully put in a sys- jj 11
tern of extended labor without first carefully selecting an improved grade of cotton and replacing de- ji
fective machinery wherever necessary throughout the mill. Thisalone has involvedSouth Carolina mills II
in the expenditure of millions of dollars within recent years. Nothing is left undone in an effort to spe- ji
eialize the weaver's work, and enable him to accomplish more, and earn more. ji |
Thus there is nothing in extended labor to cause suspicion. It is a scientific, a sound, and an . W
honest effort of the manufacturer to meet exacting competition with improved production and abetter f
product. Nothing npw is needed but time to cohvince the operative that the principle is sound, and its |!||
adoption-inevitable. * It is but a logical and natural step forward in the advancement of the industry. II
