To determine positively and accurately the weekly wagbkof the operative in South Caiolina, a careful investigation has been made with a group of representative, sepa rately located mills (mostly print cloth manufacturers) of the Stste. What is true with this group cf average mills will be quite generally true for South Caiolina is one of the largest manufacturer* cf print included in the investigation are: hroughout the State, ,oth».
