Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau
of Labor Statistics survey of wages and supplementary
benefits in the textile dyeing and finishing industry in the
winter 1965—66.
Separate releases for the following States and
areas were issued earlier, usually within a few months of
the payroll period to which the data relate: Georgia, Mas­
sachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, New York, N. Y .,
North Carolina, Paterson-Clifton—Passaic, Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Rhode Island, and South Carolina.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Division
of Occupational Pay, Toivo P. Kanninen, Chief, under the
general direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Com­
missioner for Wages and Industrial Relations. The analy­
sis was prepared by Joseph C. Bush under the immediate
supervision of L. Earl Lewis. Field work for the survey
was directed by the Assistant Regional Directors for Wages
and Industrial Relations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s pro­
gram of industry wage studies as well as the addresses of
the Bureau’s six regional offices are listed at the end of
this bulletin.

Industry W age Survey---Textile Dyeing and Finishing, Winter 1965—66
Summary
Straight-time earnings of production and related workers in plants en­
gaged primarily in dyeing and finishing cotton or synthetic textiles averaged $ 1. 96
an hour in winter 1965—6 6 .1 Men, accounting for slightly more than four-fifths of
the 54, 774 workers within scope of the survey, averaged $ 2. 02 an hour, compared
with $ 1 . 6 8 for women.
Individual earnings of almost all workers ranged from
$ 1 . 2 5 to $ 3 an hour; the middle half earned between $ 1 . 6 9 and $ 2 . 16.
Earnings in the Southeast region, accounting for nearly three-fifths of
the workers, averaged $1.*83 an hour. Averages of $ 2 . 0 2 and $ 2 . 3 1 were r e ­
corded in the New England and Middle Atlantic regions, which together employed
almost all of the remaining workers.
Within each region, earnings varied by
type of establishment, type of m aterial, community and establishment size, union
contract status, and occupation.
Nationwide averages among the jobs selected for separate study ranged
from $ 1 . 5 7 an hour for janitors to $ 4 . 5 0 for machine printers.
Clotli dyeingmachine tenders, numerically the most important job studied, averaged $ 2 . 1 2
an hour.
Paid holidays, vacations, and life, hospitalization, and surgical insurance
were granted by establishments employing nine-tenths or more of the production
workers.
Other benefits such as sickness and accident, and medical insurance
were also common in the industry.
Industry Characteristics
The survey included establishments engaged prim arily in dyeing and
finishing cotton and synthetic te x tile s .1
2 Separate dyeing and finishing establish­
ments owned and operated by textile companies were included; dyeing and finishing
departments of integrated textile m ills, however, were excluded.
Location.
The industry is concentrated in the three textile-producing
regions of the country.
The Southeast region accounted for 58 percent of the
workers within scope of the survey; the Middle Atlantic region, 21 percent; and
New England, 17 percent. Based on sim ilar surveys, conducted by the Bureau
since 1946, there has been a steady shift of the industry's employment from the
Middle Atlantic and New England regions to the Southeast, as indicated in the
following tabulation:

1 The survey did not cover establishments engaged primarily in dyeing and finishing wool textiles.
See
appendix A for scope and method of survey; also for definition of production workers and regions as used in the survey.
Wage data in this report exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
2 Most wool textiles are finished by the manufacturers. W ool dyeing and finishing plants are covered by the
Bureau's regular survey of wages in the wool textiles industries. For results of the most recent survey, see Industry
Wage Survey, Wool Textiles, June 1962 (BLS Bulletin 1372, 1963).




2

Nearly one-half of the 54, 774 workers covered by the current survey worked in
metropolitan a r e a s . 3 Regionally, the proportions were about seven-eighths in the
Middle Atlantic, slightly less than one-half in New England, and about three-tenths
in the Southeast.
The three regions also varied considerably with respect to
other characteristics, as indicated in the following paragraphs.
P rocesses and Products.
The principal processes employed by the
industry are: preparation of the cloth (scouring, washing, and bleaching), applica­
tion of color (dyeing and/or printing), and finishing for consumers' use (pre­
shrinking, calendering, napping, chemical finishing for water repellency, etc. ).
Larger establishments generally perform all of these three types of activity; in
sm aller plants, operations may be limited to such activities as bleaching and
dyeing, or printing only.
Approximately two-fifths of the production workers were employed in
plants where the processing included printing of fabrics; this proportion was
one-half in cotton fabric processing plants as compared to less than three-tenths
in plants processing synthetic fabrics.
Machine printing was the method used in
establishments employing about one-third of all workers. Other methods reported
included hand screen printing and automatic screen printing.
Establishments engaged prim arily in finishing cotton textiles accounted
for more than four-fifths of the workers in the Southeast and for nearly three-fifths
of the workers in the New England region.
Four-fifths of the workers in the
Middle Atlantic region were in plants finishing synthetic textiles.
Eighty-four percent of the workers were in establishments finishing
primarily broadwoven fabrics.
Plants engaged mainly in processing cotton yarn
or thread accounted for 8 percent of the workers; nearly all of these were in
the Southeast region.
Five percent of the workers were in plants processing
synthetic yarn or thread.
The remainder of the workers were in plants dyeing
and finishing such textile products as narrow fabrics (under 12 inches in width)
and raw stock.
Type of F in ish ers. Many of the establishments in the industry, particu­
larly those processing synthetic fabric, finish m aterials on a com m ission basis
for the account of textile converters who buy grey goods from the weaving m ills,
arrange to have the finishing done, and sell the finished cloth.
Com m ission
finishers accounted for 55 percent of the workers covered by the survey. Such
establishments employed between 80 and 90 percent of the workers in both the
New England and Middle Atlantic regions. In the Southeast, however, 69 percent
of the workers were in establishments finishing for their own account.
Size of Establishment. About two-thirds of the workers surveyed were
employed in establishments having 250 workers or m ore.
The proportions of
workers in plants of this size were: nearly nine-tenths in the Southeast region,
one-half in New England, and about one-fifth in the Middle Atlantic region.
Unionization.
Establishments having collective bargaining agreements
covering a majority of their production workers employed 45 percent of the work
force covered by the survey.
Regionally, the proportions were nearly nine-tenths
in the Middle Atlantic, slightly more than three-fifths in New England, and
one-fourth in the Southeast.
The major union in the industry was the Textile
Workers Union of Am erica.

Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U. S. Bureau o f the Budget through March 1965.




3

Method of Wage Payment. Alm ost nine-tenths of the production workers
were paid on a tim e-rate basis (table 29). A large majority of these were paid
under form al system s that provided single rates for specified jobs.
Incentive
wage plans, usually individual piecework, applied to about 15 percent of the
workers in the Southeast and 8 percent in New England, but were almost non­
existent in the Middle Atlantic region.
Average Hourly Earnings
Straight-time earnings of the 54, 774 production and related workers
within scope of the survey averaged $ 1 . 9 6 an hour in winter 1965—66 (table l ) . 4
Average hourly earnings were $ 1. 83 in the Southeast, $ 2. 02 in New England, and
$ 2 . 3 1 in the Middle Atlantic region.
The nationwide average was 15 percent
higher than the average of $ 1 . 7 1 an hour recorded in April—May 1961, when a
sim ilar survey was conducted. 5 The percentage increase in wages was slightly
greater in the Southeast than in the other two regions.
Men, who accounted for slightly over four-fifths of the workers, averaged
$ 2 . 0 2 an hour, as compared to $ 1 . 6 8 for women.
The average wage advantage
for men was 23 cents an hour in the Southeast, 34 cents in New England, and
49 cents in the Middle Atlantic regions.
Differences in average pay levels for
men and women may be the result of several factors including variation in the
distribution of the sexes among establishments and among jobs with disparate pay
le v e ls.
Nationwide, earnings of workers in com m ission plants (those finishing
materials owned by others) averaged $ 2 . 0 6 an hour, as compared to $ 1 . 8 5 for
workers in plants finishing for their own account.
This difference, however, is
not representative of individual regional wage relationships, which varied between
these two types of establishments. It reflects the fact that the relatively low-wage
Southeast region accounted for the large majority of workers in plants finishing
for their own account, whereas the New England and Middle Atlantic regions
accounted for most of the workers in com m ission plants. In the Southeast region,
workers in plants finishing m aterials for their own account averaged a few cents
more than workers in com m ission plants. In the other two regions, workers in
com m ission plants averaged m ore.
Workers in establishments finishing prim arily synthetic textiles averaged
$ 2 . 0 8 an hour, as compared to $ 1 . 9 0 for workers in establishments processing
prim arily cotton textiles.
This nationwide relationship, however, results from
the unequal contributions the three major regions, with their differing wage levels,
made to the two plant groupings, and is only representative of the Middle Atlantic
region where workers in synthetic textile finishing plants averaged 18 cents an
4 The straight-time average hourly earnings (excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends,
holidays, and late shifts) presented in this bulletin are not comparable with gross average hourly earnings published
in the Bureau's monthly hours and earnings series ($ 2 .0 7 in November 1965). In this bulletin average earnings were
calculated by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number o f individuals; in the monthly series,
the sum of man-hour totals reported by the establishment in the industry was divided into the reported payroll totals.
The estimate o f the number of production workers within scope of the study is intended only as a general guide
to the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
It differs from the number published in the
monthly series (63.1 thousand in November 1965) by the exclusion of establishments employing fewer than 20 workers,
and, due to the advance planning necessary to make the survey, requires the use of establishment lists assembled
considerably in advance o f the data collection .
Thus, establishments new to the industry are omitted, as are
establishments originally classified in the textile dyeing and finishing industry, but found to be in other industries at
the time of the survey. Also omitted are establishments which dye and finish textiles, but which were classified
incorrectly in other industries at the time the lists were com piled.

(BLS Bulletin 1311, 1961).

hour more than workers in cotton textile finishing plants ( $ 2 . 3 5 compared with
$2.17).
In the Southeast, workers in cotton textile finishing plants averaged
15 cents an hour more than workers in synthetic textile finishing plants.
The
Southeast accounted for three-fourths of the workers in cotton textile finishing
plants but only for one-fourth of the workers in synthetic textile finishing plants.
In New England, average hourly earnings for the two groups of plants were
only 1 cent apart.
Earnings of workers in plants dyeing and finishing cotton broadwoven
fabrics averaged $ 2 . 1 3 an hour in the Middle Atlantic region, $ 2 . 0 5 in New
England, and $ 1. 87 in the Southeast. Among the States for which separate data
are presented for such establishments, earnings averaged $ 1 . 8 6 an hour in
North Carolina, $ 2 . 0 4 in Massachusetts, and $ 2 . 1 2 in New Jersey.
Workers in plants specializing in the processing of synthetic broadwoven
fabrics averaged $ 2 . 3 9 an hour in the Middle Atlantic region, $ 2 . 0 4 in New
England, and $ 1 . 7 6 in the Southeast region.
In New Jersey, these workers
averaged $ 2. 52 an hour.
In each of the three major regions, hourly earnings of workers in plants
having 250 workers or more averaged more than the earnings of workers in the
sm aller plants.
Nationwide, however, workers in the sm aller plants averaged
more than those in the larger plants.
This anomaly results from the substantial
differences in which the relatively high-wage Middle Atlantic region and the
low-wage Southeast region contributed to the national data for the two size groups.
The Southeast accounted for nearly four-fifths of the employment in plants with
250 workers or m ore, but for less than one-fourth of the employment in the
sm aller plants. On the other hand, the Middle Atlantic region accounted for nearly
one-half of the employment in the sm aller plants but for only about 6 percent of
the workers in the industry's larger plants.
Nationwide, workers in metropolitan areas averaged $ 2. 07 an hour, as
compared to $ 1 . 8 7 for workers in the sm aller communities.
In New England,
wages averaged higher in nonmetropolitan areas; in the Middle Atlantic region,
they were higher in metropolitan areas; and in the Southeast the averages for the
two groups were identical.
Workers in establishments having labor-management contracts covering
a majority of their production workers averaged $ 2 . 15 an hour, as compared to
$ 1 . 8 1 for workers in plants not having such contracts.
Production workers in
unionized plants averaged 15 cents an hour more in New England, 19 cents more
in the Southeast, and 49 cents more in the Middle Atlantic region than those
employed in plants where none or a minority were covered by union contracts.
The above comparisons of production worker averages do not, of course,
isolate the influence of each characteristic as a determinant of wages.
Union
plants, for example, accounted for a substantially larger proportion (nearly
three-fifths) of the workers in com m ission plants than in those establishments
finishing for their own account (three-tenths); and in plants located in metropolitan
areas (slightly more than three-fifths) than those in the sm aller communities
(three-tenths).
Sim ilarly, the proportion of workers in union plants was much
greater for plants having less than 250 workers than for the larger plants.
Earnings of all but 2 percent of the workers ranged from $ 1. 25 to $ 3 an
hour (table 2).
In the earnings array, the middle half of the workers earned
between $ 1. 69 and $ 2. 16.
As indicated in the following tabulation, the proportion
of workers earning le ss than $ 1 . 6 0 an hour was substantially greater in fhe
Southeast than in the other two regions.

Occupational Earnings
The 39 occupational classifications studied separately accounted for
slightly more than one-half of the production workers within scope of the survey.
(See table 6 .)
Average hourly earnings for these jobs ranged from $ 1 . 5 7 for
janitors to $ 4 . 5 0 for machine printers.
Machine printers was the only survey
job with an average in excess of $ 2 . 4 5 an hour; janitors and yarn winders ($ 1.67),
and material-handling laborers ( $1 . 7 0 ) were the only ones with averages below
$ 1 . 8 0 an hour. Dyeing machine tenders (cloth), numerically the most important
job studied separately, averaged $ 2 . 1 2 an hour.
The large majority of the 2, 371 yarn winders were women.
They aver­
aged $ 1 . 6 3 an hour, as compared to $ 2 . 2 3 for men in this job.
Whereas only
about one-half of the women yarn winders were paid incentive rates, nearly all
of the men in this occupation were paid on this basis. Sewing-machine operators,
double- and roll-m achine operators, and cloth inspectors were the only other jobs
studied separately for which women accounted for as much as one-fifth of the
employment.
Occupational averages were generally highest in the Middle Atlantic
region and lowest in the Southeast.
For most occupations, averages in the
Middle Atlantic region were 10 to 25 percent above the nationwide average; those
in the Southeast were usually 1 to 10 percent below the average.
Averages in
the New England region were almost equally divided between those above and
below the nationwide average.
In the Southeast region, occupational averages were usually higher in
plants finishing m aterials for their own account than in plants finishing on a
com m ission basis; among jobs permitting comparisons in the other two regions,
however, earnings were usually higher in com m ission plants (table 7).
In the New England and Southeast regions, occupational averages, where
comparisons could be made, were usually greater in nonmetropolitan areas than
metropolitan areas (table 10).
In each of the three major regions, average
earnings for most occupational groups were higher in plants having 250 workers
or more than in the sm aller plants (table 11).
Occupational averages were usually higher in plants having labormanagement contracts covering a m ajority of their workers than those in plants
not having such contracts.
This general relationship held when the comparisons
were limited to the different community and establishment sizes for which data
were tabulated (tables 12 and 13).
Earnings of individual workers also varied within the same job and
geographic area (tables 14—28).
In a number of instances, the highest hourly
earnings exceeded the lowest in the same occupation and State by $ 1 or more.
Consequently, a number of workers in comparatively low-paying jobs (as measured
by the average for all workers) earned more than some workers in jobs for which



6
significantly higher hourly averages were recorded.
The following tabulation
illustrates the overlap in earnings occurring between men cloth dyeing-machine
tenders and mate rial-handling laborers in South Carolina despite a 36-cent dif­
ference in the hourly averages for the two jobs:

In some instances, however, earnings were concentrated within a comparatively
narrow range.
For example, in New Jersey, 1, 154 of the 1, 350 cloth dyeingmachine tenders earned between $ 2 . 4 0 and $ 2 . 5 0 an hour.

Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on certain establishment practices, including
shift differentials for production workers, and work schedules and selected supple­
mentary benefits, such as paid holidays and vacations and various health,
insurance, and retirement plans for production and office workers.

Scheduled Weekly H ours.
Work schedules of 40 hours a week were in
effect in establishments employing three-fifths of the production workers in New
England, two-thirds in the Middle Atlantic region, and about seven-tenths in the
Southeast.
Longer schedules applied to the remainder of the workers in each
region (table 30).
Nearly nine-tenths of all office workers had work schedules
of 40 hours.

Shift Provisions and P ractices.
N inety-six percent of the production
workers were in plants having provisions for late-sh ift work (table 31).
Only
two-fifths of the workers, however, were actually employed on late shifts at the
time of the study (table 32).
In the Middle Atlantic region, workers typically
received 5 cents an hour more than day rates for second-shift work, and 10 cents
an hour more for third-shift work.
In the New England and Southeast regions,
extra pay for second-shift work was not common; but, a majority of the thirdshift workers in these two regions received extra pay, m ost commonly 7 cents
and 5 cents, respectively.
Paid HQlidays.
Paid holidays were granted to virtually all of the pro­
duction workers in the Middle Atlantic and New England regions and to slightly
over four-fifths of those in the Southeast (table 33).
The most common holiday
provisions were 7 days annually in New England and 9 days in the Middle Atlantic
region.
In the Southeast, however, holiday provisions ranged from 1 to 7 days,
with most of the workers receiving 4 days or less.
Paid holidays were granted
to office workers by almost all of the plants surveyed.



7

Paid Vacations.
Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of service,
were provided by plants accounting for nearly all production and office workers
(table 34).
In the New England and Middle Atlantic regions, vacation pay for
most of the production workers was based on length-of-tim e payments, whereas
for a majority in the Southeast, it was based on percentages of annual earnings.
For production workers, provisions for 1 week’ s pay after 1 year of service
were prevalent in each region.
Two weeks' vacation was commonly provided in
the Middle Atlantic region after 3 years of service, and in the other regions,
after 5 years of service. About three-fifths of the workers in New England were in
establishments providing 3 weeks' vacation after 15 years of service; however,
provisions for 3 weeks' vacation pay were not common in the Middle Atlantic and
Southeast regions. A m ajority of the office workers received 2 weeks of vacation
pay after 1 year of service.
Health, Insurance, and Retirement Plans.
Life, hospitalization, and
surgical insurance benefits financed at least in part by the employer, were availa­
ble to over nine-tenths of the production and office workers (table 35). Approxi­
mately seven-tenths of both groups of workers were given protection against loss
of pay due to sickness; production workers were almost always covered by
sickness and accident insurance, whereas sick-leave plans applied to two-fifths
of the office workers.
Some of the office workers who were covered by formal
sick leave plans also benefited under sickness and accident plans.
Accidental
death and dismemberment insurance and medical insurance benefits were also
frequently reported.
Pension plans, providing regular payments for the remainder of a
retiree's life (in addition to Federal social security), applied to slightly over
two-fifths of the production workers in New England, about three-fifths in the
Southeast, and seven-tenths in the Middle Atlantic region.
Lum p-sum retirement
pay was granted to one-fourth of the production workers in New England and to
less than a tenth in the Middle Atlantic region.
Approximately one-half of
the office workers were provided pensions and less than a tenth, retirement
severance pay.
