Every bottle-guaranteed.?Adv. (Jn ?fth% Top World ENGLISH 1 trench J* V JAPANESE CHINESi\ 'K) > ITALIAN Measured by every standard, the American worker is truly "on top of the world". Here in South Carolina our m^1 textile workers, with their comfortable homes, congenial Community life, opportunities for recreation and amusement. [f reasonable living wage, and substantial wage equivalents, are maintaining a standard of living not even approached by textile operatives in any other nation on earth. ^ ; According to statistics published by the United States Bureau of Labor, American textile operatives receive in wages more than twice as much as similar workers receive in England, approximately 2 1-2 times as much as in Gerrclhny, 4 times as much as in France, 5 times as much as in Japan, 6 times as much as in Italy. Other figures ~~' show that he receives 15 times as much as in China. " ( These comparisons represent only the money wage, and the question is frequently raised as to how much these 1 wages will buy in the countries where they prevail. The purchasing power of the money wage is the true standard i of earnings. % . , ' President Hoover, In a speech dealing with comparative wages in foreign countries, said, "Our real wages and our standards of living are the highest in the world. And again I am speaking of the teal buying power of wages." To illustrate this point, Mr. Hoover adopted as a unit of value, a pound of bread and butter (95 per cent wheat 1 flour and 5 per cent butter),. The number of pounds of bread and butter that a weaver in various countries can \ purchase with bis weakly wages are shown in the following table: ] ^ "UNITED STATES 823 lbs/ " I ~t United Kingdom 136 lbs. ' Germany 106 lbs. * France %. 78 lbs. Belgium ........... 94 lbs. 1 Italy .................... 75 lbs. . Sweden 1 f>f> lba ^ ~ - Japan 83 lbs." The cotton manufacturers of South Carolina are anxious to see our ./ textile operatives keep their place "on top of the world". In the face of ever-increasin^~ pressure from foreign competition, this can be accomplished only through muttifcl co-operation on the partof the workers, the inanagemeiit. and the people of South Carolina* - ^ ^ ; ? _ ? *? i-fjfc*Syl88wT * ,?:??* n V V ~>Tfir VVrrhj^Hl
