A Sons, manufacturers of women’s uni- 1
forms of various kinds, has retired as 1
head of the concern, leaving his million 1
dollar business to his employes, to whom ]
he owes his fortune, he 'hays, because of 1
| J
their loyalty to the concern. Dix is 72 4
years Old. Besides turning the business |
over, to his employes, he loaned them |
$250,000 for operating expenses. He 5
will eontinut' to serve as director for $1 |
P« year.
Last fall, when workers in the great j
garment and textile manufacturing es- |
tablishments of the New England states ',
were, striking fof more money, not a

worker in the entire Dix establishment j
left his job. By treating each and); '■
every worker fairly and squarely, Dix \
has gained their friendship and admir-
ation. When the union officials in back ■
of the big strike interfiewed laborers ia 1
the Dix plant, they were told: We do ;
not want to strike: we have no reason ;
for .striking; we are drawing more money
than other workers in the same class 1
I are striking for.
