Wage - Hour Enforcement in Pulp,
Paper to Net South 12 Millions
Ten to twelve million dollars
will be released annually in addi
fional wages in the South through
enforcement of the Fair Labor
Standards Act in the pulpwood
and paper industry, Colonel Phil
ip B. Fleming, of Washington,
ministrator of the Wage and
Division of the Department of La
bor, told the Southern Garment
Manufacturers Association in At
lanta last week.
Another ten millions will be re
leased through the workers when
the textile industry increases wag
es to meet the requirements of the
textile wage order, the Adminis
trator declared. |
The paper and pulpwood indus
try, Colonel Fleming said, “ is
the industry which optimistic
Southerners said heralded a new
era oi profitable industrialism. The
paper companies have been fol
lowing the common business prac
tice of buying in a low market and
doing their best to keep the mar
ket low.’
Colonel Fleming described thr
■ paper and pulpwood industry as
"a low-wage industry which has
been selling the South short, de
pressing the prices for land-own
er, contractor and labor—a large
industry which is a new one, in
fact, is less than ten years old.”
The Administrator told of a res
olution in Congress by Represen
tative Hampton P. Fulmer, oi
South Carolina, asking for a thor
ough investigation of the
ent monopolistic purchasing of
pulpwood, by pulp and paper mills
under a contract system from
farmers and other owners.”
Colonel Fleming said Congress
man Fulmer had found that pa
per prices recently have advanced
from $65 to $85 a ton with no in
creaese in the prices the mills arc
paying for wood.
The Administrator defended the
application of the recent apparel
wage order to the garment making
I industry, pointing out that 23 per
cent of the cost of garments is la
bor costs. Before enactment of the
Fair Labor Standards Act and con
sequent wage orders, he said:
“From what garment manufactur-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Georgia Tobacco
Averages 3 Cents
It's all over now including the
chanting. South Georgia’s famous
tobacco auctions Fiave been writ
ten onto the records for 1940.
It was regarded as a highly suc
cessful season. The growers ap
parently are happy over the re
sults, according to reports from
the tobacco belt.
The bright leaf tobacco growers
received almost as much money
for their crop this year as they
did last year although the yield
was off more than 20.000,000
pounds. This compares with last
season's sales of $12,981,967.70, an
average of 12.82 cents per pound
for 101.336,208 pounds. This is an
an average of nearly 3 cents per
pound more this year.
And so Georgia tobacco growers
once more can look back on 1917
as an epoch-making year, and one
that has meant much to the in
come of farmers in this state for
nearly quarter of a century. For
it was that year that the A. B. –
C. Railroad introduced tobacco on
a commercial production basis in

ers have told me, wage-cutting
m ust have approached hysteria. A
garment factory in one communi

of a lower wage and come out with
prices which shut down factories
making the same garments in two
or three other communities.

es. v ou wont have to worry
the future about who is the first
one—or who is the last one. No
body is going to do it. To cut wag
es (n this industry would bring
them below the legal minimum
and the legal minimum is going to
be enforced.
“I mean that, when I say that
the manufacturer will know that
t v j underselling he encounters ii
not due to wage-cutting. I mean
that, because this wage order it
going to be enforced. No piece
work shop is going to be able to
solve the minimum wage prob
lem by the simple subterfuge o.
dividing piecework earnings by
the minimum rate to arrive a:
Ihe number of hours worked
That’s falsification of records and
Wage-Hour inspectors have al
ready seen how easy it is to detect
■such a fraud and your Southern
i ud § es have shown what they
ihink of that type of violation.”
Colonel Fleming referred good
naturedly to the suit by the gar
ment making industry against him
as Administrator of the Wage and
Hour division to prevent enforce
ment of the Apparel Wage order
and predicted the garment-maker;
would lose it.
“MEMORIES”
During the years preceeding oui

with a great deal of interest and
enthusiasm of the great work ac-

tinction in every walk oi life,
from the plow handles to the sen

we salute you in our Memory

Some of the boys came with
only ten dollars in their pockets
to sit at the feet of the Masters
of this great institution, and pro
pare themselves for the life work
ahead. As Emory College ha
passed from Oxford, so number,
of those who labored there have
likewise passed on. And the

bership in 4-H Clubs of Georgia. The award was presented by Fain
Chambers (right) of Cobb County, immediate past president, and G. V.

in his speech he issued a warnin"
to farmers. He said: “The brs

average farmer is a well-balanc
system of farming with livestoY
providing one of the main source
of income. Regardless of the out

is almost inevitable that the bio
will fall heaviest upon cotton an 1

for export trade. Therefore, work
toward diversified agiculture.”

Flames Destroy
Gaither Chapel
Fire, believed to have started
from a bolt of lightning, destroyed
Gaither’s chapel last Wednesday
night. The church building was
a total loss.
Gaither’s Chapel is one of the
oldest Negro churches in this dis
trict. Rev. N. C. Peagun is the
regular pastor of the chapel.
The congregation of the church
had planned their annual home
coming for this Sunday. The burn
ing of the church makes it neces
sary to have the reunion at Mace
donia church, where the members
of the church will meet until their
own church is rebuilt.
No definite plans have been an
nounced for rebuilding the chapel,
but it is expected that definite
construction will get underway
about the first of December.
Members of the church have an
nounced that t hey will greatly
appreciate the assistance of both
white and colored friends in the
rebuilding program-
