For results of the cotton textile survey, see Industry Wage Survey: Cotton Textiles, September 1965 (BLSBulletin 1506, 1966).

Data for an estimated 3,783 workers employed in bleaching, cloth dyeing and finishing, and fabricating departments are excluded from the earnings tabulations for workers in regular textile departments and are presented separately.

For definition of regions, see table in appendix A.* Data relate to all production workers including those in the bleaching, cloth dyeing and finishing, and

fabricating departments.For an account of the earlier study, see Industry Wage Survey, Synthetic Textiles, May 1963 (BLS

The straight-time hourly earnings (excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays,and late shifts) presented in this bulletin are not comparable with the gross average hourly earnings published in theBureau's monthly hours and earnings series. The monthly series provides data for plants primarily engaged in weaving fabrics over 12 inches in width, wholly or chiefly of silk or man-made fibers (weaving and integrated mills). These mills, as well as those primarily engaged in spinning yam or thread are included in this survey.

The estimates of the number of workers within scope of the survey are intended only as a general guide to the size and composition of the labor force in synthetic textile mills covered by the survey.

13 BLS Bulletin 1414, op. cit.14 See Current Wage Developments, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Report Nos. 183 through 212. At the end of

March 1966, the Textile Workers Union of America and some large New England companies negotiated a 3-yearcontract providing for wage increases totaling 23 cents. The first increase, effective in April, amounted to 10 cents. The increases are not, of course, included in the earnings data in this report. Another round of wage increases for southern textile mills, to be effective in m id-1966, was announced in May.
