Southern Textile Mill Villages on the Eve of World War II: The Courtenay Mill of South Carolina
利用南卡罗来纳州考特尼纺织厂的档案，研究了二战前美国南方纺织厂村的家庭生活、住房政策与工资差异，发现稳定家庭受奖励、住房制造依赖、本地工人工资更低。
The southern textile mill village has received little empirical attention. I summarize the results of ongoing research using the records of the Courtenay Mill of Newry, South Carolina. There is evidence that stable family life was rewarded, mill housing was used to create dependence, and locally recruited workers recieved less pay than those from other areas. I conclude with a discussion of the possible causes of the local operative earnings differential and indicate other areas for future research.
