 MISS SC-lT3ID7R.AT: Lbor Advisor'y cd is o--.'o--,oc to 0n.yt
kind of territorial differential. :-ot voti:-. a,_'.ir:t the Cotton
Textile differential that was :-nt.A in the first cor.c, we r-'lize
was a bad precedent to set. However, the excuse in the Cotton
Textile differential was that there at-.- s exist',. a differential
between the South and -:orth an2. th-:,r were )rovidi:",; hosi: conditions
at so low a rate that it ?l.Lost made u? for the differential in the
code. Since that time it seems that -ri' cod: t'.'t has no diffir.:n-
tial comes to the point wr the stern r-fcturers ask for it.
The minimum rate is the minir.-. for t"e lowest type of ezloyment,
and in the factories in t- orth v:r- s'-ll percent, e of the
workers work on the minimum. The larger perc.'t- e are above the
minimum. Pocketbook ..':inr is a skill.-'.- industry,. I have not -mowT.
about this case until I orentered your office, Mr. Ore. so that I hiav_
no way of 'Amowinj the number of wor": *'s. In a .".- I think: the whole
thing has been handled irrThpl.rl*. "iis or.-.nization .as t-':cn
upon itself to have av-pr,:ntices when no one else in the. industry
was allowed an-rentices.

 MISS ROHR: ',7e have no ap-)rentic s. We hope to h-.v them and
need them.

 MR. ORE: All we ca.r. do is to get the -- licant's statemCnt ?s
to wIhy this should be -rnted, e?.. the representative of the C-t.rc
Authority, Industrial and Labor A.visory 3o-r' srall -.-.- ther o-
commendations as to whether or not it shall ee grant;. 4 '. f-nnl
decision is u-p to the Division At`:iistratcr, but in cs..i., this
petition to him we will furnish him with the A.i.h spots of the r,-cor;
of this hearing. I- Miss. .c.r has .-tli-. more to s..--jt her ciai-.
or if there are any other statements, I vo'.l" li .. to have t,&.

 LISS SC::iiID:Rij:: I do not see ho.-. you can grant a further 'tay
without helpinL. tlhe other ,.Pnufl.cturers that are in the South and out-
lying districts. I think this lady has cnjoy.d e;;:c-;,tionno oth.-.r
manufacturers ha.ve. I think it grossl; unfair to the other ...pnf 'ctr rs.

 MISS ROHR: Thile we are .rL:in,. our z-c:; les we fa-ve hnd nobody
but our ex-oerts who are well paid so we really 'iv*v. not t-krn ardv:,n.t?'.c
until right now. 'W7e have quite a n-L,b-.:r of t-- L.c': and sor- oft
get $12 but most get more. The inefficient have not been called b:.c*. Ps
yet.
