The FLY-TOX "Chamber of Death"
is a small room in which live, healthy
insects are turned loose. They are
strong and lively. As they fly and
buzz around inside the "Chamber of

Less than a teaspoonful is used. Almost
at once the buzzing stops. With- _

to people. It has a delightful perfume-like
fragrance that pervades a

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* - ^ ^ ;
