WAGE EQUALITY EFFORT SEEN IN SOUTHERN MILLS NEW YORK, May 4 (Special).—The present labor crisis in the Southern textile mills, according to the United Business Service, is of deeper signifi- cance than is generally recognized.

It is now evident that with the increase in manu- facturing operations in Southern States the condition of cheap and easily man- | aged labor supply is passing and & labor situation is beginning to develop more like that existing in the textile centers of New England. Not only have efforts begun to raise wages in the South, but an active ci paign is now an to unionize the wor ers and to improve working and living conditions for labor in the South as they have been improved in the Nonh.l Northern labor, meanwhile, has been somewhat chastened and has acquired a more reasonable disposition as the result of & long period of depression.
