New Addition
(Continued from page one)
an extension of the present Sewing
Room. Conditions there are somewhat
crowded and the extra space will yield
improvements through a change in lay
out and equipment.
The second floor will be an enlarge
ment of the Open Stock Storage and
Packing Departments, whereas the
first floor will be the Shipping Room
with increased space for the storage
of packed cartons. Heretofore the Mill
has had to use space in six cotton ware
houses for sewing, wrapping, and pack
ing supplies, for open stock seconds,
and for holding cartons awaiting cus
tomer shipping instructions.
Space provided by the new addition
will serve to eliminate crowding in the
departments affected and will release
the space in the cotton warehouses for
storage of cotton and for better blend
ing in the Opener Room.

Contract With tlniph
Extended To March 15
The labor contract between Fieldcrest
Mills and the Textile Workers Union of
America, due to expire at midnight
Feb. 28, has been extended to March
15 by mutual agreement. In the mean
time, representatives of the Company
and the union will continue efforts to
work out local issues in the contract
discussions.
Tentative plans have been arranged
to continue negotiations at a meeting
Tuesday, March 6.
Little progress has been made in five
meetings of the parties since January
25. The TWUA has presented a list of
demands, many of which are a part of
the union’s national pattern in the text
ile industry. These include a substantial
wage increase and a “package” of
fringe benefits which under the govern
ment’s wage stabilization rulings are
prohibited.
The agreement between Fieldcrest
and the union automatically renews it
self each year unless the Company or
the TWUA gives notice 60 days ahead
of its expiration that they wish to ne
gotiate a new contract. The union, in
a letter December 29, indicated its de
sire to open the contract for modifica
tion. The Company offered to renew the
existing contract, but submitted sever
al modifications it desired to make if
the contracts were opened for negotia
tions.
Most of the modifications, exclusive
of national issues, sought by both par
ties are of a minor nature. The company
will continue to meet with the union to
negotiate settlement of the Jocal quest
ions. Following extension of the con
tract the union agreed that it would
“get down to serious bargaining” on
points of a local nature. The national
or industry-wide issues will be taken
up later, pending some clarification of
the government’s wage control policy.
