A 1931 article by textile consultant James Chittick proposing a bonus-based pay system for loom fixers and weave room overseers in textile mills. Fixers would get a flat weekly wage about 10% below the usual rate plus a bonus per 100 yards of cloth produced, and foremen a bonus per thousand yards. The article also covers keeping warps and filling supplied ahead of need, rotating fixers into weaving work during slack periods, and overtime pay. It draws on the author's experience with a 500-loom silk mill.
