40 Hour Week
lThf forty hour week is the
Cnaru of t he economic and
rehabilitation of the cotton
industry in this nation. We
p not forgotten that the legis
non that- gave birth to the Rec
10 Act no longer the statu
of the land, and yet to
r-1 " ha,P this amazing and
» lous situation: The law of
Kif dead, but the vital
Spies of National Recovery
™ , pffeot become the common
“ of this land. This advance
, n0( be abrogated or abandon
flrmiv believe also that any
* , (0 abrogate or abandon these
Enriple- "ill Prove disastrous to
hn attempt It; The man
“L thinks that this country will
,'rrt to the so-called days of
' p(j individualism and that one
Ltp wili be permitted for any
Lett, of time to operate machin
r fifty or sixty hours a week, as
, the past, is more than blind.
LP gays are done and gone
jipvpr The man who cannot give
iiif preconceived local prejudices
i this point has played his last
„mc and Is headed for the side
I
1 want to congratulate the lead
. 0f the cotton textile industry.
|u have shown profound wisdom
your general attitude of confln
operations to two shifts of
< hours and the maintenance
v'our wage structure.
Period Of lempiauon
I realize, however, that we are
«• going through a period of
irere temptation. I know that
iffe gre successful men in our in
jtry who are taking the position
that they expect to operate as they
lease, but observe fully their own
State labor laws and wrap them
ilres in the false security of legal
md constitutional action. I know,
too, that they have a perfect legal
right to take this position. I know,
also, that If they persist in this
policy it will surely lead to In
creased production, demoralized la
bor, and will ultimately destroy all
hope and confidence and finally
result in National legislation.
;"At this point I want to warn
Hie cotton textile Industry against
the hazards of overstepping good
sense through the means of the
adoption of the third shift. AI
pady there Is a real scarcity of
feined cotton mill labor. It is
therefore evident that if more and
lore mills resort to the third Shift
It will create an insufferable labor
situation. Just what can be ex
pected under such conditions is too
obvious to reaulre any elaboration
on my part.
“We have enough machinery in
| this period to supply at a profit the
i normal demands for the production
1 of cotton textiles, operating on a
; two shift basis, but the day we de
, viate from this sensible schedule,"
; that day will mark the fall and
| decline of the cotton textile in
[ dustry and inevitably invite reg
| ulatory legislation that will be both
constitutional and infinitely more
repugnant to you than anything
that has yet been enacted into law
by the Federal Government. I hope
the comparatively small minority
that is now running three shifts
will give this warning the serious
consideration which it deserves. I
cannot believe that you will delude
yourself into thinking that a great
majority of the industry are going
to be content to stand aside and
continue operations on two shifts
while permitting a minority to en
joy the temporary advantages re
sulting from third shift operations.
I sincerely^ hope that this minority
will not goad the majority into
striking back so hard that the blow
will be fatal to all of us.
Rayon As Example
"The rayon weaving industry of
fers a fine example of the perils of
the third shift.
"It makes both my pocketbook
and my heart sick to see the third
shift looms of the rayon weavers
turning out millions of yards of
dress goods today and selling these
desired materials at a price insuf
ficient in many instances to cover
the cost of labor and material. I
do not hesitate to say that this
condition is directly attributable to
the menace of the third shift.
Surely the rayon • weavers, who
have yet to learn the hard lesson
that experience teaches, are mak
ing such an exhibit of the futility
of the third shift as would fortify
your intelligent selfishness and
save you from a duplication of
their mistake.
Not Sound Or Helpful
“When the National Recovery
Act ceased to control, there may
have been some temporary advan
tage for the addition of the third
shift in rayon weaving, but if this
policy was ever sound or helpful, it
is neither sound nor helpful to
day. What has happened? It is
the same old story. At first only a
relatively small number of looms
went on the third shift, and doubt
less did well. At this point there
was competitive discussion, debate,
hesitation- and delay but; as in
evitably follows, the law of blind
competitive compulsion went to
work. One mill after the other
stepped up, stretched out, and in a

j few months the majority of rayon
J loom* on dress goods were operat
i mg a third shift. They are making
| no money, because the fifty percent
! surplus from the third shift fixes
the price, profits go out the win*
' dow, and thus the vicious cycle
continues.
Invite /-oltee Power
“I am absolutely satisfied that If
the rayon weavers were to elimi
nate the third shift every yard of
dress goods two shifts could pro
duce would sell for a reasonable
profit. Labor would be stabilized,
the third shift assimilated In the
general demand for trained work
ers, and the ultimate consumer
would not feel the effect to any
perceptible degree. If such a policy
were adopted ar.d announced as
becoming effective January 1, 1937,
r would predict that the Spring
business In rayon dress goods
would tax the looms of this coun
try to full capacity, that our work
ers would be satisfied with steady
employment, and the stockholders
of rayon weaving mills would en
joy a reasonable return equal to
that now flowing from cotton tex- j
tiles.
“In conclusion, I can only repeat1
that If the cotton textile Industry
should set out deliberately to bring
about Its own destruction Just at
a time When the outlook is the j
most promising in the past decade,
the quickest and surest way of do
ing so would be through an at
tempt at third shift operations. If
we continue the policy of pursuing
our legal rights to do wrong to out
own self Interest and to the ulti
mate interest of those who mani
pulate our machines, the police
power of the Government will
surely Intervene and Its interven
tion will be Invoked In the name
of social justice and not In the
name of the rights of private
property."
