HE tendency in the textile industry in recent years has been toward specialization. The introduction of modem machin ery, as in other industries, is developing highly skilled specialists. They, under improved conditions, with activities confined to more productive work, are enabled to accomplish more, accept greater responsibilities and earn more. The simpler duties are not allowed to annoy and retard the efficiency of the more capable, but passed on to the unskilled. Weavers, for example, who formerly handled inferior yarns with limited machinery, were taxed to the limit to care for a small number of looms, and w r ere obliged in so doing 4 to fill batteries, remove cloth and attend to the various other trivial details that arise in weaving. Now they are assisted by battery hands and cloth men. The efforts of the weaver are confined to that portion of the process of weaving that requires skill, principally that of supervision and of tieing strands of yam. As a consequence he can handle an increased number of looms and yet handle them more satisfactorily to himself, as well as to his employer. It is inevitable that so sound a principle should succeed; and it has. It has dignified the position of the weaver, and enlarged his earning power. Simultaneously it has increased production, reduced overhead, and made possible a proportionate increase in wages for the skilled operative^ and a better quality of cloth. ! »Jt History shows that such innovations in industry even though marking a very distinct step forward, are not always in the beginning understood. They sometimes unfortunately cause suspicion, even though sound in principle and inevitable in the progress of humanity. Man, however, cannot stand still. He must progress. Personal efficiency is the aim of all mankind, and the weaver is no exception. Like his associates, the loom fixer, the spinner, the carder, the spooler, he desires to improve himself, and he will. He sees in extended labor a bigger, a better and an easier job, with greater opportunities of increased pay • * ^ and advancement. The textile industry is a highly scientific industry. The public would find its intricate details difficult to comprehend. Even the weaver sometimes, with sincerest intentions, may mistake increased opportunities for hardships. But in time he understands. As aptly expressed in a recent agreement between executives and operatives in a South Carolina Cotton Mill: “The fundamental principles of extended labor are correct when properly applied.’ , -.i Cotton M/KuBSturES Association south Carolina * j ..j
