LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Kaleigh, N". C,, December 1, 1914.
To His Excellency, Locke Craig,
Governor.
Sib:—As required by law, I have the honor to submit the following
report of the Department of Labor and Printing for 1914, the same
being the Twenty-eighth Annual Eeport.
As is also required by law, I beg to offer the following suggestions,
and recommend that the laws now on the statute-books bearing on the
subjects be amended so as to put into practice the principles which it is
my belief were intended to be forwarded when this division of the State
Government was created. I can do no better, I believe, than to repeat
what was said in this report for 1912, notwithstanding there was an
amended labor law passed at the session of 1913. As has been the case
with former proposed laws, it was emasculated in committee, and, there-fore,
has failed to produce the results intended by its author.
Compared to the laws of other States, the laws of North Carolina
relating to industrial subjects indicate a very limited amount of atten-tion
and interest in this important general subject. While it may be
said that with few exceptions conditions do not call for extensive enact-ment
of laws along this line, a close study will show that too much
laxity exists here. In a broad sense, it should be our purpose to look
continually to the uplift of our working population, both as an economic
and a humane principle, and to prevent, as far as we may do so, the
deterioration of character that is so often shown when young boys leave
the home and accept employment that brings them in contact with the
vagrant element that so assiduously infests public places. The young
girl employee is also entitled to protection and restrictive measures
—
protection from men of the masher type, and restriction in hours of
employment, that she may be less exposed to advances and temptations
from street loafers and others. One preventive measure is worth a
whole book of correctives, and is mpre effective.
1. The passage of a specific ten-hour day and sixty-hour week law.
The law as enacted by the Legislature of 1911 has proven unsatisfactory
and insufficient.
2. A specific age limit prohibiting children under 13 years from
working in any kind of manufacturing establishment, or in messenger
service, or appearance in theaters in any capacity (excepting, of course,
4 Letter of Transmittal.
attendance as auditors) ; or in any employment whatsoever during the
hours in which the public schools are in session.
3. That all manufacturing and other concerns of Avhatever kind,
addressed by the Department of Labor and Printing for information
for use in the compilation of its report, be required to answer promptly
to the best of their knowledge and belief.
4. That the law designating the Commissioner of Labor and Printing
Inspector of Mines be repealed, unless appropriation sufficient to put
the present law into practice is made. This would include the services
of an active inspector—preferably, if not essentially, a graduate of a
school of mining.
5. Laws governing safety appliances and sanitation.
6. The passage of a law providing for inspection of factories and
workshops, of whatever kind, to the end that the child-labor law, the
limited hours law, the fire-escape law, and such laws of sanitation and
safety as the Legislature may see fit to enact, may be enforced; such
inspectors to act as statistical or census agents for this Department.
Bearing especially upon the hours of labor and the inspection pro-vision
above referred to, I am constrained to believe that so long as the
lack of confidence between the advocates of restrictive and corrective
measures and the manufacturers continue to exist, there is small hope
for either side of the controversy bringing in a satisfactory bill. As it
appears to this Department, it is too much a game of hare and hounds,
and the time has come for some member of the General Assembly, who
is an independent thinker, and one who has the courage of his convic-tions,
to draft a bill that will take care of the situation.
I do not wish to be understood as taking sides on the proposition.
This Department interprets its duties as covering the enforcement of
whatever laws may be passed as far as the authority vested in it will
permit ; but, at the same time, it feels that it should guard the rights of
the manufacturers as zealously as it should the rights of the employees.
This is a time for mutual effort, and not a time for mistrust to be
allowed to obstruct the State's march of progress.
I am, sir, Faithfully yours,
M. L. Shipman,
Geo. B. Justice, Commissioner.

CHAPTER I.
INTRODUCTORY.
In submitting this, the Twenty-eighth Annual Report of the Depart-ment
of Labor and Printing, it has seemed that no better could be done
than to follow the lines adopted when the present personnel took up the
work. "Wherever possible, the scope has been extended, but there are no
differences in form from the Twenty-seventh Report.
It has not been thought necessary, after citing the numerous figures
appearing in the tables, to further enlarge the summaries preceding each
set of tables. Any information in the possession of this Department is
shown by the tables in such manner as to be readily acquired by inter-ested
parties.
There have been numerous calls upon the office for lists of names of
certain classes of industries. Manifestly the Department cannot furnish
lists of any kind, other than shown by the report. The Commissioner
does not consider it fair to correspondents to give out lists ; also, it would
be unfair to supply these lists to one person and deny them to another.
It can readily be seen that the Department could not make a practice of
furnishing lists for advertising purposes, and must, therefore, decline to
issue lists of any kind under any circumstances. The report is free and
will be furnished to applicants as long as the supply lasts. Back num-bers
of the report cannot be furnished, except in a few cases where the
issue has not been exhausted. At the same time, the Department will
use every effort to make plain any points about the work that may not
be exactly clear, and to put inquirers in the way of securing information
on any subject which any State report covers. Persons uncertain as to
where information bearing on a specific subject may be obtained are
invited to write their wants. If the Department can put them in com-munication
with the proper authorities, it will be a pleasure to do so.
The subjects covered may be found in the Index, with citations to the
pages covering same.
Chapter II, Condition of Farmers, shows, in Table I, conditions of
farm and labor, employment, trend of cost of living. Table II covers
question of tendency toward diversification of crops, and improvement
in method of cultivation, wages and financial condition of laborers.
Table III shows cost of production of various farm products. Table IV
shows condition of roads, education, religion and morals, and general
trend of each.
14 Introductory.
Chapter III, The Trades, shows, in Table I, prevalence of labor organ-ization,
wages by trades, method of payment, and increase or decrease
of wages. Table II shows unit of working time, period of payment, per-manency
of employment, cost of living. Table III shows hours consti-tuting
day's work; wage-earners' idea of what should constitute day's
work; per cent of literacy. Table IV. shows period of apprenticeship,
improvement in education, moral and financial conditions.
Chapter IV, Miscellaneous Factories. Under this head are treated
the establishments not falling under specific heads, that is to say, all
manufacturing plants which do not show any one division of industry
sufficiently large to require separate treatment. It is not our purpose
to enumerate herein sawmills, gristmills, or cotton gins, except as the
magnitude of a single mill would seem to place it in the class of factory
;
grinding mills are classed as factories when they buy corn and wheat
and sell flour, meal or grits, but are not classed as factories when they
grind for toll and sell no other product beyond toll earned. Sawmills
doing a general lumber business are classed as factories, while small
mills, doing only a local business, are not. Not that we should not be
glad to enumerate these concerns in our report, but because we have
found it absolutely impossible to secure a list of these small concerns;
besides, many of them are temporary, and many change ownership and
location so frequently as to make reliability of reports sent out not
dependable. At the same time, it has not been possible to secure the
names of all the large concerns doing business in the State, under the
present law, which does not make it obligatory upon manufacturers to
report. Table I shows factories by counties, name of president and sec-retary
or treasurer, article manufactured, capital, when established, and
estimated value of plant. Table II shows value of output, time in opera-tion,
hours constituting day's work, kind of power used, number of
horsepower, number of employees, classified; condition of labor market,
per cent of literacy among employees. Table III shows wages, when
paid, increase or decrease, prevalence of union labor, improvement of
employees in financial condition and general proficiency.
Chapter V, Cotton, Woolen, and Silk Mills. Table I shows mills by
counties, executive officers, year established, capital stock, name of sell-ing
agent, and whether mill spins or weaves, or both. Table II shows
class of goods made, number spindles, number looms, number cards, kind
of power used, horsepower, approximate amount of raw material used,
progress of employees. Table III shows number of employees, classified;
hours, wages, and when paid, per cent of literacy, persons dependent on
Introductory. 15
operation of factory for livelihood, observance of labor laws. The Knit-ting
Mills form a subchapter here; the tables cover practically the same
subjects.
Chapter VII, Furniture Factories. Table I shows factories by coun-ties,
name of president, goods manufactured, year incorporated, capital
stock, kind of power used, number of horsepower. Tables II and III
show number of days in operation during year, hours constituting day's
work, number dependent on factory, wages, per cent of literacy, esti-mated
value of plant, estimated annual output.
Chapter VIII, Newspapers. Summary shows classification by period
of publication and politics, and total circulation of each class. Table I
shows list of papers by counties, how published, editor and proprietor.
Table II shows day of publication, class, date of establishment and cir-culation.
Table III shows number of employees, wages, etc.
Chapter IX, Railroads and Employees. Shows alphabetical list of
roads, number of officers and employees, by classes and wages.
Where the term "children" is used with reference to division of class
of laborers, it is intended to mean persons under sixteen years of age.
APPENDIX.
In this division of the report we have grouped all other information
properly bearing on the subjects covered in the pages preceding it. Re-sults
of investigations for ten years past; supply and distribution of
cotton; spindles and consumption of raw cotton; production and con-sumption
of cotton by years, with average price; synopsis of the labor
laws of JSTorth Carolina; classification of industries.
It is hoped that recipients will carefully study the information offered
when in search of specific facts. The Department is prevented from
broadening and enlarging the volume only by lack of leverage for secur-ing
information.
CHAPTER II.
FAKMITO CONDITIONS.
The crop year of 1914 lias been similar to that of the years 1911 and
1912, and somewhat in 1913, in that there was experienced a period of
small rainfall during the early growing season, which curtailed especially
the early products, and no doubt diminished the growth and productivity
of the later ones. But taken all in all, the effect was much less than was
feared. This may be attributed in some measure to the continued spread
of the practice of flat cultivation.
There has been a ready sale of most of the farmers' products, at profit-able
prices. This, however, does not apply to cotton. It may also be
well to except tobacco, which, while selling readily and at fair prices, has
not brought, according to the information at hand at this writing (Octo-ber
15) quite as satisfactory prices as last year.
The cotton situation presents, on account of the effect of the European
"War, a particularly complex condition. The outcome is doubtful, and
bids fair to become so many-sided as to entirely annihilate a standard of
commercial values, to be replaced by one of sentiment, that, as seen from
this point, will be anything but of a permanently helpful nature. The
movement to purchase cotton at 10 cents a pound, followed out by as
many firms and individuals as are likely to take it up, will not be of such
magnitude as to relieve the oversupply. What can be stored will be, and
what must be thrown on the market will bring just what it would have
brought had none been taken off, none of the cotton having been used.
Buyers are chary of stocking cotton when the visible supply so far
exceeds the demand that wants may be filled at any time, at a price not
to exceed 10 cents a pound at the outside. It is highly probable that the
cotton forced to sale will take care of the needs of the country anyway.
The exports are not to be looked to for relief. Even should the war end
at once, the conditions which would prevail in all the countries affected
would be such as to preclude their catching up with the excess caused by
the cessation of consumption for the period already past.
On the other hand, what cotton is bought up at 10 cents will result,
as seen from this angle, in destroying the wholesome lesson that seemed
about to be brought home to the Southern farmer. Absolute master of
the situation as he might have been, he has continuously allowed the
speculator to take from him his privilege, and accepted in its stead a
Farms and Farm Labor. 17
dependency of the speculator's own creation, which could not, by any
manner of means, he expected to be made with a view to the farmer's
welfare and profit.
Now, when he has had the facts in the case brought so plainly before
him, and has the opportunity, by a season of self-denial, to take control
of the situation, he is about to again forego his opportunity for the sake
of the immediate difference in price on a limited number of bales, i. e.,
whatever number of bales can be sold at 10 cents a pound to persons who
are taking it up at 10 cents, some for advertising purposes, some for
truly helpful purposes, and some in the belief that the price will go to
10 cents or more. When it is a fact that cotton can be raised and sold
for 10 cents a pound at a profit, just as many farmers as succeed in dis-posing
of their crop at that price will continue to raise as much of it as
they can, believing that whether the market will take care of it at that
price or not, something else will turn up that will. From this general
statement may be excepted that class of producer who is foresighted
enough to raise other products sufficient to be able to hold his cotton if
the price offered is not satisfactory to him.
If forced to pocket a loss this year, the result would be to cause the
producers to take steps looking to protecting themselves, instead of look-ing
to State or National authorities for relief, or to the bankers, who
have shown clearly that they will not put up the money necessary to
warehouse the crop, except upon such terms as will not only guarantee
to save them free from any possible loss, but pay them a profit as well.
It is unnecessary to say that were the farmer able to do this to the satis-faction
of the banker, he (the farmer) would have found no need to call
for assistance in the first place. All of which leads back to the begin-ning,
where it may be seen, as at first, that the farmer is best able to take
care of himself—by diversification of crops and the producing of all
supplies at home—and to dictate, not only the price of cotton, but of
other products as well.
Reports of cost of production for three years show the following
figures
:
Cost to raise bale of cotton : 1912, $33.70 ; 1913, $34.23 ; 1914, $35.61
;
average for three years, $34.511
/3. Bushel of wheat: 1912, 73 cents;
1913, 71 cents; 1914, 70 cents; average for three years, 71.3 cents.
Bushel of corn: 1912, 53 cents; 1913, 50 cents; 1914, 52 cents; average

summary.
Figures relative to 1914 are as follows:
Table No. 1 shows an increase in the value of land in eighty-eight
counties, and no change in twelve. Fertility of land is reported main-tained
in ninety-five counties; five report that it is not maintained.
Nine counties report a tendency to have larger farms; ninety smaller;
one no change. Ninety-eight counties report labor scarce ; two plentiful.
Twenty-one counties report employment regular ; seventy-nine irregular.
Table No. 2 shows the average wages paid. Highest average paid
men, $1.18 per day, an increase of 4 cents over last year; lowest, 74 cents
per day, an increase of 3 cents over last year. Highest average paid
women, 74 cents per day, an increase of 4 cents over last year; lowest,

of children, 41 cents per day. Fifty-seven counties report increase in
wages; forty-three no change.
Table No. 3 shows that sixty-eight counties produce cotton at $35.61
per bale of 500 pounds; thirty-two do not report. Seventy-seven coun-ties
produce wheat at a cost of 70 cents per bushel ; twenty-three counties
do not report wheat. All the counties produce corn, at a cost of 52 cents
per bushel. Ninety-three counties produce oats, at 35 cents per bushel
;
seven counties do not report oats. Sixty-one counties produce tobacco
at $9 per 100 pounds; thirty-nine counties do not report tobacco.
Ninety-five counties report cost of raising 100 pounds of beef to be
$5.95 ; five counties do not report beef. All the counties report cost of
raising 100 pounds of pork to be $8.50.
Table No. 4 shows road, education, and financial conditions. Ninety-nine
counties favor road improvement by taxation; one does not favor
such improvement.

CHAPTER III.
THE TEADES.
Conditions of employment have been of a very satisfactory nature
during the past year. Lack of opportunity has not been responsible for
any noticeable amount of idleness. Skilled labor and farm labor have
been in demand. There is and has been considerable difficulty in secur-ing
satisfactory domestic servants. The need of responsible employment
bureaus is felt from time to time, but the Department has hesitated to
encourage anything along that line on account of the great opportunity
for fraud. It is noticeable that there is a constant demand for the better
workmen in the trades. This is the class of man that gets the price that
makes the average as high as it is, and the one who is last to feel the
effect of depression in the trades.
It is a matter of much regret that there are not more schools for
manual training in operation in the State. There are a few of these in
the city schools, probably half a dozen, all told, in addition to the State
institutions, which are by no means sufficient to take care of the demand.
Wages show a small average increase over last year. The cost of
living also shows an increase, but it is believed that this is the result of
the increased cost of doing business—deliveries, etc., and the fact that
there are constantly being added numbers of hands through which the
commodities must pass between producer and consumer. It is probable
that the standard of living is being raised among the wage-earners, which
would account in some measure for the increase in cost.
Sl'MMARY.

:

CHAPTER IV.
MISCELLANEOUS FACTORIES.
The division of establishments treated under this head includes manu-facturing
enterprises that are not treated under Cotton, Woolen, Silk,
and Knitting Mills, or Furniture Factories.
As has been the case in former years, the manufacturing situation
shows a steady advance. Up to the end of the period covered by the
reports received, June 30, 1914, no untoward conditions have affected
the industries covered. While sales have not been below a normal level,
it is also noticeable that there has been no abnormal demand. As it
appears to the Department officials, this is a condition much more
desirable than one which ranges from one extreme to the other, and
makes for a growth consistent with the development of the entire State.
It would be, of course, a desirable condition if the State's manufacturing
industry was of a greater magnitude ; but taken as a whole, the showing
made is of a very satisfactory nature.
The information received brings to mind great opportunities along
various lines that are open to development in the State. Most of the
products shown in the industries using wood show that only the larger
articles are manufactured, leaving necessarily a large amount of short
and small pieces of material which might very profitably be used in the
manufacture of small articles of general use. The same general rule
applies to truck and vegetables. Much of this class of food, late in the
seasons, is shipped at low returns, which could more profitably be canned
at shipping points.
The total number of miscellaneous factories reporting to the Depart-ment
for the year ending June 30, 1914, is 755.
Aggregate capital reported by 639 factories, $88,811,810. Six hundred
and forty-nine factories report the estimated value of plants to be
$20,738,301. Six hundred and forty factories report the output to be
$97,062,107. Six hundred and fifty-three factories report a pay-roll of
$14,601,563.
Seven hundred and twenty-three factories report power used as fol-lows
: Steam, 419 ; electric, 186 ; water, 21 ; hand, 19 ; gasoline, 26 ; steam
and electric, 29 ; steam and gasoline, 2 ; steam and water, 2 ; steam and
gas, 2; gas, 4; steam and oil, 1; electric and gasoline, 1; kerosene, 1.
These establishments, exclusive of the 19 using hand power, show the
employment of 88,590^/2 horsepower. The -average hours worked per
clay, 10 hours and 5 minutes.
Miscellaneous Factories. 43
Three hundred and eighty-four factories report increase of wages ; two
hundred and eighty report no change ; six report decrease. Five hundred
and nine factories pay wages weekly ; fifty-seven monthly ; one hundred
and fifteen semimonthly; two daily; one semiweekly; six weekly and
monthly; six on demand; one toll.
Seven hundred and five factories report 38,655 persons employed.
This number is made up of 31,134 males; 5,588 females; 1,933 children.
Highest average wages per day : males, $2.92 ; females, $1.47. Lowest
average wages : males, $1.06 ; females, 86 cents. Eighty-six per cent of
adult employees read and write; ninety-five and one-half per cent of
children. Three hundred and four factories report improvement in
financial condition of employees; two hundred and ninety-two no im-provement.
Two hundred and eighty-seven factories report improvement in gen-eral
proficiency of employees; two hundred and seventy-four no im-provement.
In the Appendix will be found a list of the factories, classified and
alphabetized, which it is hoped will be of benefit to parties who are look-ing
for a specific article or a certain factory! In no sense is this list
offered as a directory; the purpose is not to offer a directory, but a
resume of conditions of the laborers and of the trades. If there is
information of a general character desired, and parties desiring same
will address this office, pleasure will be taken in the furnishing of any-thing
that may be properly classified under the heads that this Depart-ment
may be supposed to cover. Inquiries are invited on questions
which may fairly be assumed to be in our line.
In the tables will be found the detailed information from which the
foregoing summary of conditions is made.
