The multiple loom system is being made possible by modern automatic looms with as many as 12 looms an operative instead of 2. What are the results of these new machine installations? One mill has reduced the labor cost on a given amount of 130 LABOR AND TEXTILES cloth from $100 to $30. Another mill reports a 50 per cent saving in labor and a production increase of 20 per cent. It is estimated that, in the weaving department alone, savings run from 40 per cent to 60 per cent. A New England manu-... facturer reported that automatic looms paid for themselves in 20 weeks. 3 EFFECT -ON THE WORKERS As a result of these methods of reducing labor costs textile workers are confronted with the "speed-up" system of opera- tion, which makes the worker go a much faster pace in order to keep up with the machines, and the "stretch-out" system of assigning more machines to each operative. For all workers, whether machine tenders or cleaners, these changes not only require greater speed but less variety of work and more walking.
