[ To determine positively and accurately the weekly wage of the operative in 'SofJth i Carolina, a careful investigation has been made with a group of representative, sep1 arately located mills (mostly print cloth manufacturers) of the state. What is true with this group of average mills will be quite generally true throughput the state, ' for South Carolina is one of the largest manufacturers of print cloths. The 21 mills j i included in the investigation are: I 11 . . Broad River Mills, Blacksburg Monarch Mills, Union Alice Mfg. Company, Easley Judson Mills, Greenville, Victor Mills (No. 1), Greer Brandon Mills, Greenville Gosseft Mills, Williamston Arcadia Mills, Spartanburg Saxon Mills, Spartanburg Orr Cotton Mills, Anderson Hamrick Mills, Gaffney Calhoun Mills, Calhoun Falls Chesnee Mills, Chesnee Greenwood Mills, Greenwood Clinton Mills, Clinton Chiquola Mfg. Co., Honea Path I Mills Mill, Greenville Aragon Baldwin Mills, Whitmire Inman Mills, Inman Republic Mills, 1 & 2, Great Falls Dunean Mills, Greenville 1 ' jj 1 These mills combined have an average weekly payroll of $201,224.55 distributed J| among 15,997 operatives (including part time workers). The 16,997 operatives car- i, . among 15,997 operatives (including part time workers.) It would appear that the av- ji ' erage wage would be but $12.58 per week. The 15,997 operatives carried on the pAy- ? [ rolls, however, represent a surplus of 3,392 more operatives than are needed to fully '> ! - man-'the mills. The excess number is carried because many cotton mill operatives work ( only on a part time basis; some for an hour or so each dav and others more. s i ' f ? Apparent Weekly Wage $12.58 -Actual Wage ~ <j (Operatives working full time) \\ $15.96 I J1 An estimate of average wage, therefore, which includes the wages of part time workers is misleading. The only accurate average is one that is based on total reg- ![ i ular help required to run the mill upon a full time basis. Eliminating the part time i| worker, the story, is fdr different. The 21 mills listed above need to employ but j 12,605 regular full time workers, paying the regular workers? i! J1 * . ^ ' An Average Weekly Wage of $15.96 (These figures do not include superintendents, office help or executives. The figures 1 i. do include all operatives required in the manufacture of cloth, including even the un- i | ^killed, lowest paid laborers. The figures are actual and based on three consecutive ' | weeks in September. 1929.) i These authentic facts, presented above for the first time, give a complete picture and a fair one.
