Benefits unilaterally introduced by an employer are generally reported. The chronology series is intended primarily as a tool for research, analysis, and wage ad ministration. The series deals only with selected features of collective bargaining or wage determination. References to job security, grievance procedure, methodology of piece work adjustment, and similar matters are omitted. This wage chronology summarizes changes in wage rates and related wage practices negotiated by Dan River Mills with the Textile Workers of Am erica between 1943 and 1950 and with the United Textile Workers of Am erica from 1953. It also includes changes instituted by the company on several occasions. Lily Mary David, Chief of the Division of Wage Economics, under the direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, a s sistant Commissioner for Wages and Industrial Relations, is responsible for the overall direction of the wage chro-^ nology program. This bulletin was prepared by Albert A. Belman.

Negotiations for an agreement began shortly after certification by the National Labor Relations Board, but con ferences during July and August failed to bring the parties to complete agreement. In September 1942, a number of issues remained, and these were referred to the National War Labor Board. The Board issued its order in May 1943; and its find ings and conclusions, together with the provisions agreed upon by the parties, formed the basis for the firm’s first collective bargaining agreement. The last agreement between the company and the T W U A , signed August 5, 1950, was to run for 1 year. It provided for a reopening after 6 months for negotiation of wages and related benefits. In formal discussions were held in the autumn of 1950, and as a result the company agreed to a wage increase following the pattern which was devel oping in southern textile mills. Wage changes since then have generally followed the southern pattern. Negotiations under a contract provision that permitted wages and benefits to be reopened began on March 6, 1951. The parties were unable to re solve their differences and a strike began at mid night of March 31. This strike was part of a regionwide stoppage which eventually involved over 40,000 textile workers in six States. The company unilaterally granted a wage increase on April IT, and early in May the T W U A voted at Dan River and many other southern mills to end the 5-week strike. When the T W U A contract expired on July 31, it was not renewed and until late 1952, the workers were not represented by any union. Late in October of that year, the United Textile Workers of America (U T W A ), then affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, was recognized as the representative of Dan River workers, after an election and certification of the union as bar gaining agent by the National Labor Relations Board. Negotiations were opened on November 21 and informal agreement was reached on April 19, 1953, on a 1-year contract, substantially the same as the firm's former agreement with the TWUA. Since 1953, eight wage-rate increases averaging a total of approximately 55 cents an hour have been negotiated by the parties. A number o f conditions of work and health benefits were also instituted or changed. This chronology traces the major changes in wage rates and related wage practices put into effect for production and maintenance workers as a result of collective bargaining and directive orders of the National War Labor Board since June 25, 1943, the date o f the first formal contract. D 1 The company adopted its present name in 1946. It was formed by a merger in 1909 of the Riverside Cotton Mills and the Dan River Power jand Manufacturing Co. 1 2 The provisions reported for June 1943 do not nec essarily indicate changes from prior conditions of employment, A large proportion of the workers in these plants are paid under piecework or production incentive plans, and the changes reported in this chronology relate to these employees as well as those paid on an hourly basis. Special provisions of the con tracts dealing with day-to-day administration of the incentive plans are omitted. In June 1965, the company, following an im passe in bargaining, increased hourly rates of pay by 5 percent and provided an additional paid holi day. At about the same time, various provisions of the pension plan were liberalized (the pension plan had not been included in the collective bar gaining agreement). Eligibility standards for participation in the plan were lowered and em ployees' contributions were decreased. The provisions reported in this wage chronology apply to 9,000 workers in three plants in the Danvdle area. Xo collective bargaining agreement had been concluded by the parties by October 1965.
