Figutes reported to be authentic, and inferences supposed to be based on facts, have left the unfortunate impression that the\average cotton mill opemt.ve is underpaid. \ \ • \ \ \ • • \ It is an impression, however, that leads to conclusions that are incorrect. 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».

It would appear that the rolls, however, represent a surplus of 3,392 more operative* than are needed to fully man the mils. The excess number is carried because many cotton mill operatives work only on a part time basis; some for an hour or so each day and others more.
