R0BE3BTS0N, Chief Wake County LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL To His Excellency, Cameron Morrison, '' Governor of North Carolina. Sir :—Pursuant to the requirements of statutes creating this Depart-ment of the State Government, and acts supplemental thereto, I have the honor to submit herewith the Thirty-fourth Keport of the Depart-ment of Labor and Printing of the State of I^orth Carolina, covering the biennial period 1923-24. As is also permitted, it is desired to submit for your consideration and for the information of the General Assembly some suggestions that the Commissioner feels should be presented and acted upon by our law-making body. A STARTLING CONTRAST The vigorous and rapid growth of industry in the State of iN'orth Carolina is too well known to require comment. In startling contrast to this industrial development is the backward state of legislation in behalf of the workers who are its basic necessity. Abundance of resources and enterprising management are alike impotent without the labor contribution; and just and beneficial treatment of this essential element of industry should keep pace with its progress in other aspects. l^orth Carolina is one of but six states of the Union lacking a law providing for the compensation of industrial injuries. The old rule of common law that places on the employee the burden of the trade risk, for the creation of which he is not and cannot be primarily responsible, has been set aside in forty-two states and practically every foreign country. Its injustice condemns it, and its shortsighted economic policy is at war with both humanitarian and business standards. The crippled man or bereaved and orphaned household are a reproach and a burden to the community which fails to make just provision for their welfare. Their misfortune befalls in the attempt to serve the community through industry; and the cost of their care is a just charge on the industry, without the bickering and conflict and wastefulness of suits at law. While the hazards of industry continue, provision should be made for the adequate care of its victims and their earliest and most complete possible restoration to self-support. SAFETY STANDARDS Urgent as is the demand for a workmen's compensation law, this urgency should not lend to the neglect of legislation striking even more directly at the root of the problem. "An accident compensated is an apology; an accident prevented is a benefaction." Prevention will iv ISToETH Carolina Industrial Statistics lighten the burden on industry, do away with the suffering, and avoid the economic loss. Standards of safety for the various types of ma-chinery and industrial equipment have been carefully worked out and their practical utility demonstrated beyond question. Provisions of law requiring proper installations and equipment, and an adequate in-spection and enforcement system are a prime necessity in a progressive industrial state. boiler inspection Although steam boilers are instrumentalities that lie within the field touched upon above, their wide distribution and the frequent employ-ment of poorly trained workmen to have charge of them, warrant their special mention. Boilers of known defectiveness, so much so that no insurance company will issue a policy covering them, may yet be used by an owner willing to "take a chance" ; but the risk does not fall on him or his property alone, and a thoroughly considered statute should be enacted covering this subject. Many states require proof of compe-tency and the issue of a license before a workman is allowed to take charge of an agency of such potential destructive force, and this phase of the question also is commended to legislative consideration. child labor The employment of children at such an age and to such an extent as to interfere with their physical and mental development is bad business and bad morals. Thirty-three states have enacted laAvs requiring work days for children in industry shorter than that fixed by statute in I^orth Carolina, and the laws of practically all other industrial states pro-hibit night work for women. There is in this connection a responsi-bility devolved upon the Legislature which has not yet been fully met. The future of the State demands better protection for both the children and the women employed in its industries, and legislation to this end is strongly recommended. EIGHT-HOUR DAT The mechanical routine of factory employment and the speeding up of machine operations call for added consideration of the muscular and nervous forces of the worker. The early deterioration and "junking" of neglected machinery only partially exemplify and illustrate the wastage of labor through excessive strain or wearying monotony. A citizenship that can intelligently consider social and civic problems is likewise a better industrial factor than one whose waking hours are spent in toil and the listless fatigue that follow an over-long work-day. At least a beginning should be made in the application of the eight-hour day to the more hazardous and wearing occupations. Letter of Tbansmittal MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION 'The utter wastefulness of t^ie multiplied conflicts between employers and workmen causing cessation of work leads this Department to recom-mend a careful study of the laws found in many states providing for boards or commissions whose purpose it is to facilitate good under-standing and a fair and intelligent consideration of conflicting claims and demands. Nothing savoring of compulsory arbitration is contem-plated, but with an agency for mediation available to the parties or competent to make a thorough investigation and fair report of the facts, it is believed that much of the bitterness of feeling, economic loss and public inconvenience could be avoided. The Department of Labor is m a position to render much valuable service in this direction, but^ at present has no authority to act. Suitable legislation on this subject would offer good ground for hope for a better relationship and fewer interruptions in production, wages and service. North Carolina is far behind other industrial states in the enactment of laws for the protection of the workers, and there should not be longer delay in providing an industrial code which will meet the just demands of the hour. Eespectfully submitted, Commissioner. Raleigh, N. G., December 1, 1924. NORTH CAROLINA—LAND OF OPPORTUNITY AND ACHIEVEMENT* When God made the -world He left IS'ortli Carolina for the final and complete manifestation of His goodness to man. For He placed in this Commonwealth all the essential resources of an empire. On its eastern border rolls the Atlantic—prolific of vast annual tribute to our people. On the western border are mountains of surpassing beauty—a beauty eloquent of His mercy to His creatures. In those hills of God, whence comes our strength, is found something more precious than the minerals of worth concealed in their breasts, of greater price than the covering of timber reaching to their summits—that one thing making life really worth living : HExiLTH ! Not satisfied with all this, between the level of the sea and these mountains, seven thousand feet nearer the skies. He placed fertile plains of a greater variety of soils than is found elsewhere in the entire coun-try, producing all things needed by man for his prosperity and well-being. And then He planted a race of men within the borders of that Commonwealth who have builded a white and shining highway more than six hundred miles in length, linking the sea and mountains in close and abiding affection. So we may well imagine that the Garden of Eden was in North Caro-lina— and is still there. Adam and Eve were put out of this Paradise and spent their remaining days hungering and athirst for their irre-coverable loss. And I know that you ISTorth Carolinians in Philadelphia tonight, every one of you, are looking forward to the time when you will return to North Carolina, that Paradise which you will always proudly claim as your home, there to receive that awaiting welcome which will warm the very cockles of your heart. Philadelphia is a marvelous city. It seems to me that man has left but little undone to make it the most beautiful and charming in all the world. You men and women of North Carolina have done, are doing today and every day, your full share toward making this the home of civic righteousness, an abiding place of all virtues such as this cradle of Liberty should be. But- 1 know that your spirit and your soul cry aloud within you for your home State and for your home people. "With this thought in my mind, let me tell you something of the opportunities that will be afforded you when you do come back and build your home again with us. I am not going to burden you with a mass of dry statistics, although the gathering and compilation of these statistics, representing the almost Address by M. L. Shipman, Commissioner of Labor and Printing, before the North Caro-lina Society of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, March 31, 1924. vii !N"oETH Carolina Industrial Statistics unbelievable progress of our State, is a part of my official duty. The story is a bright one and one that cannot be too often retold. Let us, then, suppose you have happily returned to Paradise, which is sometimes called ISTorth Carolina. It is the healthiest State in the Union, as well as being today, per capita, the richest between the Potomac and the Rio Grande. You will build a home there, among a people 99 per cent biologically native-born American. Money is an important consideration in building a home, so if you need financial aid, why there are millions of dollars on deposit in the banks of the State. In 1914 we had but $81,700,000 in our banks, while on December 31, 1923, the combined resources of our banks were $474,117,609. The lumber in your new home will come from the slopes of Mount Mitchell, say, the highest east of the Rockies and but one of twenty-six other towering peaks higher than 'New England's Mount "Washington. The forests covering the slopes of these mountain giants contribute annually many millions of dollars to the prosperity of your State as well as supplying enormous amounts of wood for the largest pulp mill in the world—at Canton, which is close to Asheville. This home, then, owned in a State where the tax rate is the lowest in the United States, will be lighted by electricity. And for this and for other purposes, ISTorth Carolina has already developed from its own water-powers the vast energy contained in 360,000 horse-power, Avith a maximum potential horse-power in our State of two millions. Remem-ber these figures if you forget all others I may quote, for they mean a great deal to our future prosperity and increasing greatness as a manu-facturing State. They mean the eventual increase in the annual value of all of our manufactured products from the present valuation of a billion and a half dollars to—what ? Who shall say ? And another fact well worth stowing away in your memory is this : Charlotte, ISTorth Carolina, is today the largest distributing center of hydro-electric power in the world. Your furniture for this new home will come from High Point — making more furniture than any city in the world save Grand Rapids, and in a State whose product last year was valued at over $30,000,000 ; in 1912 it was a little more than $11,000,000. Progress, thy name is ISTorth Carolina! The shining aluminum kitchen utensils in that new and lowest-taxed home will come from Baden, on the Yadkin River, home of the second largest aluminum plant in the world. The towels you will use will come from Kannapolis, where is located the world's largest towel plant. That spotless covering of damask on your table was made at Roanoke Rapids, which has this country's largest damask mills. NoETH Caeolina—Land OF Oppoetunity and Achievement ix The cotton goods used througliout your new liome were all made in JSrortli Carolina, of course. For North Carolina manufactures more cotton goods tlian any other State except Massachusetts, and the variety of these goods is as infinite as is their heauty. You will be interested in learning that in 1912 the value of these products was $52,868,689, while in 1922 it was $229,670,691, calling for 1,063,536 bales of cotton, of which North Carolina itself furnished 776,222 bales. Total pro-duced in 1923, 1,010,000 bales, ranking second to Texas, which Governor Bickett used to say is not a State, but an empire. The products of many other North Carolina mills and industries will enter this new home of yours in the Land of Promise and Opportunity. Let me mention but a few of them: From last year's output of the knitting mills, valued at $27,352,354, you may economically supply all your needs in that line, including hosiery of the finest, coming from the Durham district, which is the largest center of this industry in the world. From the woolen mills' product of $3,636,771 you may select an interesting variety of articles. From the thousand and one items selected from what we list in our Department report under "Miscella-neous Manufactories," turning out goods last year to the value of nearly $150,000,000, you may take your choice. The sweet mistress of this new home will require silk for personal and intimate adornment. The silk mills of North Carolina last year used nearly 218,000 pounds of raw materials, and the value of their output was $1,410,000. I might keep on for an hour and not tell you half the wonderful story as expressed in figures, but I will give you only a sketchy statement of what the Old North State is doing today. First, let us see what shall be found on the well-spread table in this home, where the money to finance its building, where its furniture and furnishings, the material out of which it has been built, the mystic cur-rent by which it is lighted and which bears a part of the household labor, were all produced within the borders of North Carolina. Fish come early on the menu, and last year the Atlantic Ocean con-tributed $1,614,360 to the State's wealth. What else shall we find there? The products of corn, of which last year nearly 57,000,000 bushels were produced in North Carolina. Wheat, which supplied 6,500,000 bushels to be made into our own glorious and well-beloved hot biscuits. Hot biscuits and sorghum syrup—a feast for the gods and North Caro-linians ! And last year we made over 3,000,000 gallons of sorghum. Now, would you like to come home? Or, if a still greater temptation is needed to draw you back, let me offer you a sun-kissed apple grown in some hillside orchard of Western Carolina, a part of our State clad all in beauty, noted in song and story for its cloud-capped mountains North Carolina Industrial Statistics "wooded to their summits, rich beyond compare in a charm that yearly draws hundreds of thousands of those seekiug rest and a renewed in-terest in life. But talking about things to eat, did you know that !N"orth Carolina stands fourth in the value of agricultural products? Texas comes first, naturally; then Illinois, Iowa, and ISTorth Carolina. A very few years ago North Carolina was twenty-second in the list ! Is this Progress ? Why quote other statistics ! Just let that bald fact stand : fourth among all the states in value of agricultural products ! I will not burden you with many more figures. They are too great to comprehend, almost, but they spell enduring prosperity for the best State of them all—North Carolina. Still I must mention North Carolina's production of sweet potatoes and peanuts, as being the largest per acre of any state; that in 1923 we produced 10,802,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, over 4,000,000 bushels of Irish potatoes, practically 130,000,000 pounds of peanuts, and 710,000 tons of hay. From these statistics you will understand that Paradise is a place of utter abundance. But the quasi master of this new home must have his smoke. So last year North Carolina turned its 282,204,000 pounds of tobacco grown in the State into products valued at $214,830,348. The figures for 1912 were only $11,232,000. Last year we raised 357,000,000 pounds of this favorite weed. Doesn't this comparison astound you? Do you not in-stantly sense the spirit of Progress with which North Carolina is im-bued? Do you not realize that this indomitable Progress, coupled with our State's versatility, its health and its beauty, augurs a glorious future for North Carolina ? And let me remark quite casually that Winston-Salem manufactures more tobacco than any other community in the Avorld. It seems quite impossible to talk about North Carolina without using words ending in "est." The Old North State has traveled fast and far in all things during the past few years. I purposely leave until the close of my remarks any reference to the most significant of all these movements, and by that I mean the insistent demand on the part of our people for better educa-tional facilities and the equally insistent demand on their part for better transportation facilities, and how adequately these demands have been met. But I refrain from going into detail as to these most significant of all our steps forward; for I am a North Carolinian born, talking to other North Carolinians, and a true North Carolinian is never out of touch with his State and his people. The statistics I have given you are of interest in that some of them have never before been given pub-licity. All of them are the latest available, and they tell in cold figures ISToRTH Cakolixa—Land of Opportunity and Achievement of our marvelous advanceuient in industry, in agriculture, in every line of human endeavor. And so I take it for granted that you are con-versant with our most excellent graded school system, with our colleges of the very highest standing and merit, and with our development of a highway system, eventually to cost hundreds of millions of dollars and which stands today as a monument to the new spirit of a State without a peer. I am convinced that JSTorth Carolina's system of highways, admittedly the finest in the South, unquestionably one of the finest in America, our vastly increased school facilities and all that we have incorporated into our school system, will work in all ways for the mate-rial and spiritual growth of our people; vtdll irresistibly draw back home all its children who have wandered far afield from a State which has grown unqualifiedly great ; great in its fine manhood and still finer womanhood, in its resources, the gift of a kindly nature, in its extraor-dinary present-day prosperity, in its hallowed traditions of the past, in its high ambitions and ideals for the future. "Carolina, Carolina, Heaven's blessings attend her ; Willie we live we will cherish, protect and defend her. Though the scomer may sneer at and witlings defame her, Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her. Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the Old North State forever- Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the good Old North State," CONTENTS Chapter I Cotton, Woolen, Selk and Cordage Mills II—Knitting Mills III — Furniture Factories IV Tobacco Manufactures V Miscellaneous Factories YI Mines and Mining VII—Waterpowers VIII—Fisheries and Fishing IX Farm and Farm Labor X Public Employment Service Bureau of Labor for the Deaf XI JSTewspapers and Periodicals XII—State Printing Appendix—Classification of Industries CHAPTER I COTTON, WOOLEN, SILK AND CORDAGE MILLS ^STorth Carolina retains its position as tlie greatest cotton goods manu-facturing state in the South, and ranks second among all the states of the Union. It has a greater number of mills than any other state, and the number in active operation has increased during the biennial period, notwithstanding there have been consolidations of several of the mills. There are now 386 active cotton mills in the State. The textile industry may well be called North Carolina's greatest asset in the field of manufacturing. The number of wage-earners, the amount paid in salaries and wages, and the value of products are greater than in any other, and the figures as to these items have mate-rially increased since the last biennial report. "With $168,292,542 invested in the industry, the State takes its place as a southern leader and second in the national list. 5,918,538 spindles are employed in the industry, but during the biennial period, from time to time, a greater number of spindle hours has been recorded for ISTorth Carolina than for any other state, indicating that the industry has been and is in healthier condition and has a more constant activity here than it enjoys in other states. This is a significant fact, for JSTorth Carolina ranks second to Massachusetts in the number of spindles. ISTevertheless, cotton mill workers have enjoyed a greater degree of pros-perity than have those of the jSTew England state because of more con-stant employment. The number of looms used in the industry is 83,402 and the num.ber of cards 15,494, both figures showing substantial increases during the past two years. The use of horsepower has also increased, 241,024 units now being used. The number of pounds of raw material used annually by the North Carolina mills is 553,085,685, and the value of yearly output is $252,078,364. But, even as the industry itself has prospered, so have those employed prospered. There are now 48,609 men, 30,347 women, and 4,772 chil-dren employed by the mills. The first two figures indicate increases, the last a decrease. The children employed are between the ages of 14 and 16 years. The average high and low wage paid the men has in-creased, the maximum now being $5.20 per day and the lowest $2.00 per day. The average maximum wage paid women shows an increase, being $3.25 per day at the present time. The lowest wage paid women is $1.30 a day. Note.—Woolen, Silk and Cordage summary and statistics follow immediately after Cotton Mill statistics. IN^ORTH Carolina Industrial Statistics The State leads all others in the manufacture of denims, canton flannel, flannelettes and blanketings, towels and towelings, wash cloths, bath mats, wiping and polishing cloths (except pile fabrics), cotton table damask, sheets and pillowcases, and commercial yarns. North Carolina is second in the manufacture of tobacco, cheese, but-ter, bunting and bandage cloths, ginghams, shirtings (not silk striped), ticks, blankets, and cotton waste for sale. It is third in the manufacture of print-cloth, lawns, nainsooks, cambrics, and similar materials, and in tire fabrics other than duck. The plants are largely owned by native Worth Carolinians who are familiar with conditions. They are operated in large measure by native labor. An added advantage is the location close to raw materials, fuel and power. Labor is generally to be found within the State and is generally available to the extent needed. Reports,from the manufacturers themselves show that the cotton mill industry has reached new high levels in ISTorth Carolina. What a decade or two ago was an industry in the embryonic stage is now the State's greatest, and bids fair soon to lead the entire nation. It now leads the entire South. The capital invested, raw materials used, value of products manufactured, and number of persons employed are all several hundred per cent greater in 1924 than they were twelve years ago. A large proportion of the mills pay wages weekly, the remainder semi-monthly. Two hundred and sixty-six establishments report the use of electric power; twenty-seven employ steam; thirty-nine use steam and elec-tricity ; twelve use steam and water ; nine electric and water ; ten steam, water, and electricity; eighteen generate their power with water, and one with water and oil. Four overlooked this item in reporting their activities. One hundred and thirty-four of the mills reporting employ both spindles and looms; two hundred and thirty-two spin only; nineteen report the use of looms only; one reports only carding. Statistical data relating to various details of the industry will be found in the tabulations following.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
To His Excellency, Cameron Morrison, ''
Governor of North Carolina.
Sir :—Pursuant to the requirements of statutes creating this Depart-ment
of the State Government, and acts supplemental thereto, I have
the honor to submit herewith the Thirty-fourth Keport of the Depart-ment
of Labor and Printing of the State of I^orth Carolina, covering
the biennial period 1923-24.
As is also permitted, it is desired to submit for your consideration
and for the information of the General Assembly some suggestions that
the Commissioner feels should be presented and acted upon by our law-making
body.
A STARTLING CONTRAST
The vigorous and rapid growth of industry in the State of iN'orth
Carolina is too well known to require comment. In startling contrast
to this industrial development is the backward state of legislation in
behalf of the workers who are its basic necessity. Abundance of
resources and enterprising management are alike impotent without the
labor contribution; and just and beneficial treatment of this essential
element of industry should keep pace with its progress in other aspects.
l^orth Carolina is one of but six states of the Union lacking a law
providing for the compensation of industrial injuries. The old rule of
common law that places on the employee the burden of the trade risk,
for the creation of which he is not and cannot be primarily responsible,
has been set aside in forty-two states and practically every foreign
country. Its injustice condemns it, and its shortsighted economic policy
is at war with both humanitarian and business standards. The crippled
man or bereaved and orphaned household are a reproach and a burden
to the community which fails to make just provision for their welfare.
Their misfortune befalls in the attempt to serve the community through
industry; and the cost of their care is a just charge on the industry,
without the bickering and conflict and wastefulness of suits at law.
While the hazards of industry continue, provision should be made for
the adequate care of its victims and their earliest and most complete
possible restoration to self-support.
SAFETY STANDARDS
Urgent as is the demand for a workmen's compensation law, this
urgency should not lend to the neglect of legislation striking even more
directly at the root of the problem. "An accident compensated is an
apology; an accident prevented is a benefaction." Prevention will
iv ISToETH Carolina Industrial Statistics
lighten the burden on industry, do away with the suffering, and avoid
the economic loss. Standards of safety for the various types of ma-chinery
and industrial equipment have been carefully worked out and
their practical utility demonstrated beyond question. Provisions of
law requiring proper installations and equipment, and an adequate in-spection
and enforcement system are a prime necessity in a progressive
industrial state.
boiler inspection
Although steam boilers are instrumentalities that lie within the field
touched upon above, their wide distribution and the frequent employ-ment
of poorly trained workmen to have charge of them, warrant their
special mention. Boilers of known defectiveness, so much so that no
insurance company will issue a policy covering them, may yet be used
by an owner willing to "take a chance" ; but the risk does not fall on
him or his property alone, and a thoroughly considered statute should
be enacted covering this subject. Many states require proof of compe-tency
and the issue of a license before a workman is allowed to take
charge of an agency of such potential destructive force, and this phase
of the question also is commended to legislative consideration.
child labor
The employment of children at such an age and to such an extent as
to interfere with their physical and mental development is bad business
and bad morals. Thirty-three states have enacted laAvs requiring work
days for children in industry shorter than that fixed by statute in I^orth
Carolina, and the laws of practically all other industrial states pro-hibit
night work for women. There is in this connection a responsi-bility
devolved upon the Legislature which has not yet been fully met.
The future of the State demands better protection for both the children
and the women employed in its industries, and legislation to this end is
strongly recommended.
EIGHT-HOUR DAT
The mechanical routine of factory employment and the speeding up
of machine operations call for added consideration of the muscular and
nervous forces of the worker. The early deterioration and "junking"
of neglected machinery only partially exemplify and illustrate the
wastage of labor through excessive strain or wearying monotony. A
citizenship that can intelligently consider social and civic problems is
likewise a better industrial factor than one whose waking hours are
spent in toil and the listless fatigue that follow an over-long work-day.
At least a beginning should be made in the application of the eight-hour
day to the more hazardous and wearing occupations.
Letter of Tbansmittal
MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION
'The utter wastefulness of t^ie multiplied conflicts between employers
and workmen causing cessation of work leads this Department to recom-mend
a careful study of the laws found in many states providing for
boards or commissions whose purpose it is to facilitate good under-standing
and a fair and intelligent consideration of conflicting claims
and demands. Nothing savoring of compulsory arbitration is contem-plated,
but with an agency for mediation available to the parties or
competent to make a thorough investigation and fair report of the facts,
it is believed that much of the bitterness of feeling, economic loss and
public inconvenience could be avoided. The Department of Labor is m
a position to render much valuable service in this direction, but^ at
present has no authority to act. Suitable legislation on this subject
would offer good ground for hope for a better relationship and fewer
interruptions in production, wages and service.
North Carolina is far behind other industrial states in the enactment
of laws for the protection of the workers, and there should not be longer
delay in providing an industrial code which will meet the just demands
of the hour. Eespectfully submitted,
Commissioner.
Raleigh, N. G., December 1, 1924.
NORTH CAROLINA—LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
AND ACHIEVEMENT*
When God made the -world He left IS'ortli Carolina for the final and
complete manifestation of His goodness to man. For He placed in this
Commonwealth all the essential resources of an empire. On its eastern
border rolls the Atlantic—prolific of vast annual tribute to our people.
On the western border are mountains of surpassing beauty—a beauty
eloquent of His mercy to His creatures. In those hills of God, whence
comes our strength, is found something more precious than the minerals
of worth concealed in their breasts, of greater price than the covering
of timber reaching to their summits—that one thing making life really
worth living : HExiLTH !
Not satisfied with all this, between the level of the sea and these
mountains, seven thousand feet nearer the skies. He placed fertile plains
of a greater variety of soils than is found elsewhere in the entire coun-try,
producing all things needed by man for his prosperity and well-being.
And then He planted a race of men within the borders of that
Commonwealth who have builded a white and shining highway more
than six hundred miles in length, linking the sea and mountains in close
and abiding affection.
So we may well imagine that the Garden of Eden was in North Caro-lina—
and is still there. Adam and Eve were put out of this Paradise
and spent their remaining days hungering and athirst for their irre-coverable
loss. And I know that you ISTorth Carolinians in Philadelphia
tonight, every one of you, are looking forward to the time when you will
return to North Carolina, that Paradise which you will always proudly
claim as your home, there to receive that awaiting welcome which will
warm the very cockles of your heart.
Philadelphia is a marvelous city. It seems to me that man has left
but little undone to make it the most beautiful and charming in all the
world. You men and women of North Carolina have done, are doing
today and every day, your full share toward making this the home of
civic righteousness, an abiding place of all virtues such as this cradle
of Liberty should be.
But- 1 know that your spirit and your soul cry aloud within you for
your home State and for your home people. "With this thought in my
mind, let me tell you something of the opportunities that will be afforded
you when you do come back and build your home again with us.
I am not going to burden you with a mass of dry statistics, although
the gathering and compilation of these statistics, representing the almost
Address by M. L. Shipman, Commissioner of Labor and Printing, before the North Caro-lina
Society of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, March 31, 1924.

!N"oETH Carolina Industrial Statistics
unbelievable progress of our State, is a part of my official duty. The
story is a bright one and one that cannot be too often retold.
Let us, then, suppose you have happily returned to Paradise, which
is sometimes called ISTorth Carolina. It is the healthiest State in the
Union, as well as being today, per capita, the richest between the
Potomac and the Rio Grande. You will build a home there, among a
people 99 per cent biologically native-born American.
Money is an important consideration in building a home, so if you
need financial aid, why there are millions of dollars on deposit in the
banks of the State. In 1914 we had but $81,700,000 in our banks, while
on December 31, 1923, the combined resources of our banks were
$474,117,609.
The lumber in your new home will come from the slopes of Mount
Mitchell, say, the highest east of the Rockies and but one of twenty-six
other towering peaks higher than 'New England's Mount "Washington.
The forests covering the slopes of these mountain giants contribute
annually many millions of dollars to the prosperity of your State as
well as supplying enormous amounts of wood for the largest pulp mill
in the world—at Canton, which is close to Asheville.
This home, then, owned in a State where the tax rate is the lowest in
the United States, will be lighted by electricity. And for this and for
other purposes, ISTorth Carolina has already developed from its own
water-powers the vast energy contained in 360,000 horse-power, Avith a
maximum potential horse-power in our State of two millions. Remem-ber
these figures if you forget all others I may quote, for they mean a
great deal to our future prosperity and increasing greatness as a manu-facturing
State. They mean the eventual increase in the annual value
of all of our manufactured products from the present valuation of a
billion and a half dollars to—what ? Who shall say ? And another fact
well worth stowing away in your memory is this : Charlotte, ISTorth
Carolina, is today the largest distributing center of hydro-electric power
in the world.
Your furniture for this new home will come from High Point
—
making more furniture than any city in the world save Grand Rapids,
and in a State whose product last year was valued at over $30,000,000
;
in 1912 it was a little more than $11,000,000. Progress, thy name is
ISTorth Carolina!
The shining aluminum kitchen utensils in that new and lowest-taxed
home will come from Baden, on the Yadkin River, home of the second
largest aluminum plant in the world.
The towels you will use will come from Kannapolis, where is located
the world's largest towel plant.
That spotless covering of damask on your table was made at Roanoke
Rapids, which has this country's largest damask mills.
NoETH Caeolina—Land OF Oppoetunity and Achievement ix
The cotton goods used througliout your new liome were all made in
JSrortli Carolina, of course. For North Carolina manufactures more
cotton goods tlian any other State except Massachusetts, and the variety
of these goods is as infinite as is their heauty. You will be interested
in learning that in 1912 the value of these products was $52,868,689,
while in 1922 it was $229,670,691, calling for 1,063,536 bales of cotton,
of which North Carolina itself furnished 776,222 bales. Total pro-duced
in 1923, 1,010,000 bales, ranking second to Texas, which Governor
Bickett used to say is not a State, but an empire.
The products of many other North Carolina mills and industries will
enter this new home of yours in the Land of Promise and Opportunity.
Let me mention but a few of them: From last year's output of the
knitting mills, valued at $27,352,354, you may economically supply all
your needs in that line, including hosiery of the finest, coming from the
Durham district, which is the largest center of this industry in the
world. From the woolen mills' product of $3,636,771 you may select
an interesting variety of articles. From the thousand and one items
selected from what we list in our Department report under "Miscella-neous
Manufactories," turning out goods last year to the value of nearly
$150,000,000, you may take your choice.
The sweet mistress of this new home will require silk for personal and
intimate adornment. The silk mills of North Carolina last year used
nearly 218,000 pounds of raw materials, and the value of their output
was $1,410,000.
I might keep on for an hour and not tell you half the wonderful story
as expressed in figures, but I will give you only a sketchy statement of
what the Old North State is doing today.
First, let us see what shall be found on the well-spread table in this
home, where the money to finance its building, where its furniture and
furnishings, the material out of which it has been built, the mystic cur-rent
by which it is lighted and which bears a part of the household
labor, were all produced within the borders of North Carolina.
Fish come early on the menu, and last year the Atlantic Ocean con-tributed
$1,614,360 to the State's wealth. What else shall we find there?
The products of corn, of which last year nearly 57,000,000 bushels were
produced in North Carolina. Wheat, which supplied 6,500,000 bushels
to be made into our own glorious and well-beloved hot biscuits. Hot
biscuits and sorghum syrup—a feast for the gods and North Caro-linians
! And last year we made over 3,000,000 gallons of sorghum.
Now, would you like to come home? Or, if a still greater temptation
is needed to draw you back, let me offer you a sun-kissed apple grown
in some hillside orchard of Western Carolina, a part of our State clad
all in beauty, noted in song and story for its cloud-capped mountains
North Carolina Industrial Statistics
"wooded to their summits, rich beyond compare in a charm that yearly
draws hundreds of thousands of those seekiug rest and a renewed in-terest
in life.
But talking about things to eat, did you know that !N"orth Carolina
stands fourth in the value of agricultural products? Texas comes first,
naturally; then Illinois, Iowa, and ISTorth Carolina. A very few years
ago North Carolina was twenty-second in the list ! Is this Progress ?
Why quote other statistics ! Just let that bald fact stand : fourth among
all the states in value of agricultural products
!
I will not burden you with many more figures. They are too great
to comprehend, almost, but they spell enduring prosperity for the best
State of them all—North Carolina.
Still I must mention North Carolina's production of sweet potatoes
and peanuts, as being the largest per acre of any state; that in 1923 we
produced 10,802,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, over 4,000,000 bushels of
Irish potatoes, practically 130,000,000 pounds of peanuts, and 710,000
tons of hay. From these statistics you will understand that Paradise
is a place of utter abundance.
But the quasi master of this new home must have his smoke. So last
year North Carolina turned its 282,204,000 pounds of tobacco grown in
the State into products valued at $214,830,348. The figures for 1912
were only $11,232,000. Last year we raised 357,000,000 pounds of this
favorite weed. Doesn't this comparison astound you? Do you not in-stantly
sense the spirit of Progress with which North Carolina is im-bued?
Do you not realize that this indomitable Progress, coupled with
our State's versatility, its health and its beauty, augurs a glorious future
for North Carolina ?
And let me remark quite casually that Winston-Salem manufactures
more tobacco than any other community in the Avorld. It seems quite
impossible to talk about North Carolina without using words ending
in "est."
The Old North State has traveled fast and far in all things during
the past few years. I purposely leave until the close of my remarks any
reference to the most significant of all these movements, and by that I
mean the insistent demand on the part of our people for better educa-tional
facilities and the equally insistent demand on their part for better
transportation facilities, and how adequately these demands have been
met.
But I refrain from going into detail as to these most significant of
all our steps forward; for I am a North Carolinian born, talking to
other North Carolinians, and a true North Carolinian is never out of
touch with his State and his people. The statistics I have given you
are of interest in that some of them have never before been given pub-licity.
All of them are the latest available, and they tell in cold figures
ISToRTH Cakolixa—Land of Opportunity and Achievement
of our marvelous advanceuient in industry, in agriculture, in every line
of human endeavor. And so I take it for granted that you are con-versant
with our most excellent graded school system, with our colleges
of the very highest standing and merit, and with our development of a
highway system, eventually to cost hundreds of millions of dollars and
which stands today as a monument to the new spirit of a State without
a peer. I am convinced that JSTorth Carolina's system of highways,
admittedly the finest in the South, unquestionably one of the finest in
America, our vastly increased school facilities and all that we have
incorporated into our school system, will work in all ways for the mate-rial
and spiritual growth of our people; vtdll irresistibly draw back
home all its children who have wandered far afield from a State which
has grown unqualifiedly great ; great in its fine manhood and still finer
womanhood, in its resources, the gift of a kindly nature, in its extraor-dinary
present-day prosperity, in its hallowed traditions of the past, in
its high ambitions and ideals for the future.
"Carolina, Carolina, Heaven's blessings attend her ;
Willie we live we will cherish, protect and defend her.
Though the scomer may sneer at and witlings defame her,
Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her.
Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the Old North State forever-
Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the good Old North State,"

CHAPTER I
COTTON, WOOLEN, SILK AND CORDAGE MILLS
^STorth Carolina retains its position as tlie greatest cotton goods manu-facturing
state in the South, and ranks second among all the states of
the Union. It has a greater number of mills than any other state, and
the number in active operation has increased during the biennial period,
notwithstanding there have been consolidations of several of the mills.
There are now 386 active cotton mills in the State.
The textile industry may well be called North Carolina's greatest
asset in the field of manufacturing. The number of wage-earners, the
amount paid in salaries and wages, and the value of products are
greater than in any other, and the figures as to these items have mate-rially
increased since the last biennial report.
"With $168,292,542 invested in the industry, the State takes its place
as a southern leader and second in the national list. 5,918,538 spindles
are employed in the industry, but during the biennial period, from
time to time, a greater number of spindle hours has been recorded for
ISTorth Carolina than for any other state, indicating that the industry
has been and is in healthier condition and has a more constant activity
here than it enjoys in other states. This is a significant fact, for JSTorth
Carolina ranks second to Massachusetts in the number of spindles.
ISTevertheless, cotton mill workers have enjoyed a greater degree of pros-perity
than have those of the jSTew England state because of more con-stant
employment.
The number of looms used in the industry is 83,402 and the num.ber
of cards 15,494, both figures showing substantial increases during the
past two years. The use of horsepower has also increased, 241,024
units now being used.
The number of pounds of raw material used annually by the North
Carolina mills is 553,085,685, and the value of yearly output is
$252,078,364.
But, even as the industry itself has prospered, so have those employed
prospered. There are now 48,609 men, 30,347 women, and 4,772 chil-dren
employed by the mills. The first two figures indicate increases,
the last a decrease. The children employed are between the ages of 14
and 16 years. The average high and low wage paid the men has in-creased,
the maximum now being $5.20 per day and the lowest $2.00
per day. The average maximum wage paid women shows an increase,
being $3.25 per day at the present time. The lowest wage paid women
is $1.30 a day.

Mill statistics.
IN^ORTH Carolina Industrial Statistics
The State leads all others in the manufacture of denims, canton
flannel, flannelettes and blanketings, towels and towelings, wash cloths,
bath mats, wiping and polishing cloths (except pile fabrics), cotton
table damask, sheets and pillowcases, and commercial yarns.
North Carolina is second in the manufacture of tobacco, cheese, but-ter,
bunting and bandage cloths, ginghams, shirtings (not silk striped),
ticks, blankets, and cotton waste for sale.
It is third in the manufacture of print-cloth, lawns, nainsooks,
cambrics, and similar materials, and in tire fabrics other than duck.
The plants are largely owned by native Worth Carolinians who are
familiar with conditions. They are operated in large measure by native
labor. An added advantage is the location close to raw materials, fuel
and power. Labor is generally to be found within the State and is
generally available to the extent needed.
Reports,from the manufacturers themselves show that the cotton mill
industry has reached new high levels in ISTorth Carolina. What a
decade or two ago was an industry in the embryonic stage is now the
State's greatest, and bids fair soon to lead the entire nation. It now
leads the entire South. The capital invested, raw materials used, value
of products manufactured, and number of persons employed are all
several hundred per cent greater in 1924 than they were twelve years ago.
A large proportion of the mills pay wages weekly, the remainder
semi-monthly.
Two hundred and sixty-six establishments report the use of electric
power; twenty-seven employ steam; thirty-nine use steam and elec-tricity
; twelve use steam and water ; nine electric and water ; ten steam,
water, and electricity; eighteen generate their power with water, and
one with water and oil. Four overlooked this item in reporting their
activities.
One hundred and thirty-four of the mills reporting employ both
spindles and looms; two hundred and thirty-two spin only; nineteen
report the use of looms only; one reports only carding.
