Commissioner RALEIGH E. M. Uzzell & Co., State Printers and Binders 1914 H 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.

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 for three years, 51.7 cents. Dept. Labor, 191- 18 North Carolina Labor Statistics. 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, 48 cents per day, an increase of 2 cents over last year. Average wages 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.

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. The average wages of the different trades reported are as follows : Blacksmith, $2.06; boilermaker, $3.64; brickmason, $4.00; cabinetmaker, $2.25; carpenter, $2.27; conductor, $4.25; engineer, $5.75; machinist, $3.11; mechanical engineer, $4.00; molder, $3.00; paperhanger, $4.50; plasterer, $4.18; plumber, $4.33; printer, $3.00; wagonmaker, $2.00; Avoodworker, $1.75.

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. 44 North Carolina Labor Statistics. Table No. 1 — Factories oy Counties, President.
