"Am Industry Prospere-.So Prosper The People"
Can We Compete With The World?
- ' * ^
I'lplHE competition which South Carolina cotton mills are facing today is not merely the competition
$ M within the United States. It is also thd 'cojnpetition of foreign countries, where lower stand'
: T'htds Of living preVaiJ, and where workers l&aceive a mere fraction of the wage ^earned by
'r t '* ' '4 American operatives* iF
W Cotton goods are sold the world over. The markets of the world are naturally seeking the lowest
priced goods.agitable. It makes no difference whether goods are produced in South Carolina
or in southerh;(China, if the quality i$ the same. The mill which cannot adjust its production
costs to meet ever-increasing competition, cannot exist.
In England wages are only about half as high as in South Carolina. In France, Germany and
Italy wages are lower than;mj,ppgland. In Japan and India the cost of labor is still less. In China, which
is fast becoming a textile ihahufacturing nation, the wage of the worker almost reaches the vanishing
point. They are all directly competing with our South Carolina textile operatives.
Our American standards of living require the highest wage in the world.. South Carolina cotton
manufacturers are not only heartily in favor of maintaining present wages, but are anxious to see their
operatives earn more. How can it be accomplished?
The answer lies in modern methods.Ij
?; South Carolina news an understanding of these fundamental facts. We are facing the necessity
of joining forces; and with shoulders to the wheel, setting about to increase the efficiency of the
cotton industry with improved methods, moderh equipment, and a spirit of mutual understanding and
f J friendly Co-operation. " .' .fc . ;;
1 Ckftton manufacturers realize that standards of living should not be reduced. But the price of
~ raw cotton is beyond their control, and the price of cptton goods is relentlessly fixed by competition.
v\,",. mTfiey are attacking the problem by the u?e of scientific methods of production, seeking to reduce^
production costs, within reducing wages?truly a great problem. Their first step is in the use of
better grades of raw cotton, having stronger and more uniform fibers; cbtton that can pass through the
machinery with a minimum of breakage. Next comes the installation, wherever "necessary, of new and
improved machinery to expedite the passage of the raw material through the plant in the course of its
manufacture; " " " '#?"
Having first an improved material and plant, logical, scientific methods of labor extension are
then employed. ,
The method used by many, known as the "extended labor system," is fundamentally spund.
Where understood it meets with the approval of operative and official alike. ... > C
1 "Through this method only can American industry successfully compete with cheap foreign
labdtyahd-at thb same time hold up the high, standards of living necessary in America, and the high
,< American .wage scale. . *
