New Schedule Takes Effect Then Mean' Shorter Hours And Week For Around 2.000 Shelby Workers. Seven Shelby text,lie plant*, em ploying from 1.000 to 2,000 wormers will Monday go to the new schedule, of operation which means shorter working hours and week in com pliance with the textile code in the Roosevelt Industrial recovery pro gram. Two other Shelby plants, the Cleveland Cloth mill, a rayon plant, and the Byrmn Hosiery mill will go on the new working schedule at an early date as provided by the codes of their industries. The textile plants in the city which will adopt the 40-hour work ers shift, and the 80-hour machinery week on Monday are the Shelby Cot tin mills, the Eton. Belmont, the Lily, the Ella, the Dover and Ora plants. Working Hours. By the textile code no employe or shift may work over 40 hours per week and no machinery may operate over 80 hours per week. This means that, each plant may operate two shifts of employes 40 hours each in a week. The code also provides for a minimum wage for all employes of 12 per week. Practically all local plants are now operating full time, day and night and the shorter working pro gram will therefore bring little change in the number of employes. Set Hours. No formal decision had been reached today as to the working schedule In all plants, but following a conference between textile offic ials it was stated that they hoped to adopt the same working hours as a matter of convenience. Although there has been no definite agree ment it is understood that the plants may operate their two shifts on the following basis: Day shifts will begin work at 5:45 each morning and work until noon, then after 45 minutes for lunch they will resume work at 12:45 and continue to 3:30 in the after noon at which time their day’s work will be over. For the day shifts this means eight hours per day for Mon day, Tuesday. Wednesaday, Thurs day and Friday with no Saturday work. The night shifts will begin work at 3:30 and stop at supper lime (the hour to be determined) for a 30-minute meal period, resum ing work then until 12 o’clock, mid night., when the shift ends, the ma chinery to be idle from midnight until 6:45 in the morning. Value Of Uniformity. It Is pointed out that if all the plants in the city and county there being numerous others in the county in addition to those in the city listed above, adopt a uniform working schedule it will be more conventenet in many ways. The lours set forth above will permit family beads to be at home at the regular meal hours so as not to up set the family meal schedule. The olan also gives each shift approxi mately eight hours of daylight for private affairs, recreation, etc. The i CONTINUED ON PAGE TEN • Cotton Closes 15 Points Up Again Cotton on the New York exchange closed today 15 to 20 points above yesterday.

Textile Mill Plan Beginning On Monday Is To Put Many To Work rextile Leader Asserts Many Mills Will Have to Make Sub stantial Changes. Charlotte. July 14.—The cotton extile Industry's code of fair trade, vhich goes into effect Monday, will >ut approximately 50,000 southern workers back in employment, will sliminate night shifts, and will .remendously increase the purchas ng power of those connected with he industry, said Stuart W Cram >r. prominent manufacturer and nember of the committee which jrepared the code, in discussing its irovisions this week. Mr. Cramer said that while the sxact number of employes to be idded cannot be determined, he s of the opinion that 50,000 is a x>nservative estimate. Of great Interest to those who ire not In favor of night work, le pointed out, is the fact that the nills probably will run their two hifts of 40 hours each on a ache uuie which cans lor a morning snm from 6 o'clock in the morning until 3 o’clock in the afternoon and ar afternoon shift running from 2 o’ clock until 10 o'clock in the even ing. As is the customary practice operatives probably will look aftei each other’s work while lunch is being eaten. The minimum wage of $12 foi 40 hours of work in the southern mills will give to operatives the same purchasing power that the} had back in 1929, according to Mr Cramer. He pointed out that this decision of the committee was bas ed on figures supplied by Dr Sachs | government economist. Not only will the wages of a I number of workers be raised under I this provision, but those of other ; workers who are not in the classe* ; to which the minimum wage applies will be raised in proportion, he said. This increase in wages along with the reduction of working hours will increase the cost of production from 75 to 100 per cent, he declared.

It will be impossible, it was an nounced at the college today, to get letters to all former students and friends of the late educator who ga/t so many years of hts life to the school, but it is hoped that ail who appreciate his services in the ad vancement of education In this sec tion will forward some contribution to the fund whether they receive letters or not. A record of all contributions will be kept in a book at the office of the college preaident and will open for inspection at all time. Contributions may be mailed to O. P. Hamrick, fund treasurer.

Publication of the order was re tarded as signalling a rush of pat onage appointments from the White House within the next few lays. A long list of names for Jobs anging from postmasters to col ectors of Internal revenue and Jnlted States attorneya has been irepared by Postmaster General ’arley, the patronage dispenser. A while before the executive ord r was signed, Mr. Roosevelt told ewspaper men his newly created xecutive council to guide industrial ecovery had decided to take federal mplo&es lor the emergency agen-j cies, such as the Home Loan Bank board, public works and others, from the ranks of civil service workers who have been displaced in the ad ministration's economic drive. There are more, than 8,000 of these dis missed employes. The President asserted, however, that the thousands who were blanketed in” the civil service by executive order under Republican rule are not to be selected for re- i employment. He has no objections, i on the other hand, to,, these work- 1 ers taking examination and seek- < tng re-employment on ciyil service i lists on the same basis as those < chosen through the merit system, t A complete survey of the post- j mastership situation has been made by Joseph C.
