The Pinehurst Mills at Hemp are working about six Juindred peojMe in three shifts of 48 hours each. The plan be fore the Industrial committee of the government propo.ses to put the textile industry on two shifts of 40 hours each, which applied to the Hemp mill would reduce the number of hands employed to two-thirds the present number. Next week this mill will volun- Uirily go on 40-hour shifts and tile rate of wages will remain as at present for 48 hours, but to be obligevi t'> cut down a third of the force is not regardtHl fav orably in this section. The company operating at Hemp has a group of about 16 .-iilk mills in North Carolina em ploying .'.ome 12,000 hands. These mills h «ve been running pretty steadily throughout the dull periods, and have a good prospect ;ihead. but neither the hands nor the mill management regard the reduction of the force "'vth favor. It is a curious situ ation. At the pre.-ent time the demand for r?.\on weaves is good, and the mills are in posi tion to maintain the employ ment of the hands now at work. .\.s the purpose of the industrial ; ro,iect which Mr. Roosevelt has ^et on foot is to increase the 'uimber of people at work the lolks at Hemp do not .see the '.vit?dom of reduring the force and they are protesting the scheme that will cut off a third f the total number. This mill is the l)iggest in- ■‘Iftry in the county, material- '. affecting the prosperity of the ■-iiolc section, and naturally the Ifemp community i.s restless un- ::er the danger tl.at threatens. They ;‘re calling on their neigh- Airs throughout the county to j ut in a word with our t epre- 'entatives Jn Wiu^hington, Con- ;:ressman Lambeth and Senators Hailey and Reynolds, asking ;hat fluick intervention may l>e indertaken to persuade the In- Justrial committee from taking >uch a drastic step as lopping iff a third of the hands of the mill under the presumption that labor is l)enefitted by rrducing the number of hands employed. Such a course would reduce the income of Moore county by sev- t-rgl hundred dollars eveiy work ing day of the month, and to no purpose. The county is willing now to take a good output of rayon cloth and the mill is there doing the business and paying the hjnds. The people affected are asking Moore county to come to their rescue by immediate and decisive appeal to Senators and Repre.--entativevS in Washington, and they expect a quick re- .^ponse to their appeal and a rlood of letters to Mr. Lambeth : nd the Senators that the mis take may be stopped before it (•ee.-< the harm it threatens.
