To His Excellency, W. W. Kitciiin, Governor. Sir: I have the honor to present the Twenty-fourth Annual Re-port of the Department of Labor and Printing, covering the period from July 1, 1909, to June 80, 1910. As required by law, I also submit for your consideration suggestions which I think are needful to the full carrying out of the intent of the Act creating the Bureau, and the purposes of the Acts amendatory thereof, and the Acts of the Legislature, the subjects of which are allied to the phases of the State's development with which this Department has to do. The position taken by this Department on former occasions can but be reiterated, in the hope that the actual facts in the case may be seen. We believe that the greater number of the mills and factories in the State, required to be regulated by law, are honestly endeavoring to carry out the conditions prescribed, but it is probable that others are merely obeying so much of the law as caution demands. This places the establishments of the former class at a disadvantage, as can be readily seen when it is considered that concerns, principally cotton mills, will have a much larger number of adult operatives to select their help from, when these operatives understand that the age limit provision is not to be strictly enforced, thereby allowing persons so inclined to work children under age. A factory inspection law is badly needed, both for the enforce-ment of the observation of this condition, and for the purpose of seeing that sanitary arrangements, fire escapes and ordinarily safe appliances are provided. In consideration of the bill which was before the last session of the General Assembly, while the bill pro-vided for a factory inspector to be appointed there was some dis-cussion to the effect that this Department would be expected to take up this work in addition to the duties already require-d of it. This would be a physical impossibility, as the work is already heavy for the number of persons engaged. Of course this work would nat-urally come under this Department head, but it would require the entire time of one man. This law would be a great convenience, in -^ that it would give us a field agent, which is very much needed to the ___ end that the State may be thoroughly canvassed for labor and manu- •^-4 facturing statistics and conditions, account of which it is impossible to secure in any other way. *s 4 Letter of Transmittal. The public printing has attained such proportions and has reached such a stage of complications and multitudinous duties, that it re-quires constant attention and watchfulness, and virtually requires one man's entire time, in addition to the services of a bookkeeper. Thus it can readily be seen that such an added duty as factory inspection can not be taken care of without the provision of a man for the work. The question of a free employment bureau has been suggested, but it is my opinion that the needs of the wage earners and of the employers do not demand it. Should there be an actual shortage of employment, this office could not meet such demand, or if there should be a shortage of labor, we would be equally powerless. While it is true that there are times when it would be of benefit, I do not think the need is sufficient to justify the expense. In my opinion, the time is now ripe for a law limiting a day's work to ten hours, or sixty hours a week. The age limit should be thirteen years, with a school attendance requirement of four months of each year up to sixteen years. I would call to your attention, and ask your endorsement of, an act to increase the compensation of the assistant commissioner. This is an arduous position, carrying great responsibility, and requiring close application, in addition to peculiar training, a training which, when thorough, as in the present case, can be marketed to much bet-ter advantage than the salary now paid. I would most respectfully urge that this salary be increased to a point on a level with clerks of equal rank in other departments. Furthermore, I feel constrained to suggest that the attention of the General Assembly be directed to the unjust discrimination against this Department in the matter of provisions necessary for the en-largement of its service and usefulness. Changed conditions in the State since this Department was created demand much more than the scant attention hitherto given it. Other States no wealthier than ours are finding profitable investment in vastly larger appropriations for the purposes of governmental functions similar to those devolving upon the North Carolina Department of Labor and Printing. Can we not do as well ? Respectfully submitted, /I *ri ^yh^ ^Udfii^J^Crt^t^ Commissioner. OFFICIAL STATE REGISTER FOR 1910. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. William C.

Appendix. CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY. The conditions which made necessary the introductory note in our last report have not materially changed, and due to the fact that the circulation of the volume is constantly widening, it has been deemed necessary to. repeat a part of the matter used under this head last vear, and to add some other equally as important. Primarily, the purpose of the statistics is to show hours of labor, wages, condition of laborers, status of the industries of the State, and, by thus showing actual conditions, suggest, if possible, needs in the way of laws for the protection of both laborer and employer, to the end that neither class shall profit at the expense of the other, and that no undue advantage shall be taken of either party. In some quarters to which the report is sent, these purposes are overlooked, the recipients expecting rather a directory of manufac-turing enterprises. Under the peculiar conditions of the law govern-ing the Department and the manner of collection of statistics, it has proved impossible to secure a complete list of the factories. The only possible way to secure the miscellaneous factories would be by a detailed census campaign, and while this would no doubt be of service to those parties looking for a directory, it is hardly probable that it would materially change the conclusions reached. However, m so far as the means at hand have allowed, it has been the purpose to include every factory, of whatever kind, employing rive or more people, that it was possible to reach. Some factories have commenced or gone out of business during the interval between the time of investigation and of issuing the report and some factories have failed to answer the inquiries sent out from this office. In the appendix will be found a list of all factories on our list, including both those that have and have not reported, alpha-betized and classified. In the appendix will also be found the so-called labor laws. The interpretations of these laws are only found in the Supreme Court Reports, and it is manifestly impracticable to give these. CHAPTER II. FAEMS AND FAKM LABOE. SUMMARY. Reports from the various counties indicate a wholesome advance in farming. Particular attention is being paid to seed selection and preparation of soil, and the study given these subjects can not but result in much benefit. Drainage of heavy and swamp lands, and measures for the preven-tion of erosion are also being undertaken. The advantages of these have been shown by the work already accomplished, and it' is to be hoped that the movement toward these ends will be much forwarded by the results already attained. The North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey is contributing valuable instruction in the way of proven methods along these lines. With constantly increasing values it behooves the land owners of the State to see to it that no gullies and washouts are permitted on their properties, and the incentive for reclamation of swamp lands can readily be seen when com-parison of values of drained and undrained lands is made. Locally, there is slight difference in wages, and it follows, slight difference in cost of production of farm products. Following will be found the conclusions as shown by the figures given in the answer to questions sent out. To those who have so considerately given us this information we desire to acknowledge our indebtedness. Table No. 1 shows an increase in the value of land in ninety-three counties, and no change in five. Fertility of land is reported maintained in ninety-five counties ; three report that it is not main-tained. Three counties report a tendency to have larger farms; ninety-five smaller. Ninety-three counties report labor scarce; five plentiful. Ninety-five counties report negro labor unreliable; two reliable, and one, no negro labor. Fifty counties report employment regular; forty-eight irregular. Every county reports an increase in cost of living. In Table No. 2 ninety-three counties report that there is change towards diversification of crops ; five no change. Ninety-eight coun-ties report improvement in method of cultivation of crops. Condition of Farmers. 13 Highest average wages paid men, $25.11, an increase of $1.00 per month over last year; lowest, $15.28, an increase of 49 cents per month over last year. Highest average wages paid women, $15.53, an increase of 77 cents per month over last year; lowest, $10.11, an increase of 62 cents per month over last year. Average wages of children, $8.76, an increase of 32 cents per month over last year. Seventeen report financial condition of working people good, fifty-eight fair, twenty-one poor, one bad, and one does not answer ques-tion. Ninety-one counties report improvement ; six no improvement, and one does not answer. Table No. 3 shows that sixty-seven counties produce cotton at $33.37 per bale of 500 pounds; thirty-one do not report. Eighty-one counties produce wheat at a cost of seventy-two cents per bushel ; seventeen counties do not produce wheat. Ninety-seven counties produce corn at a cost of fifty-two cents per bushel, and one county does not report. Ninety-five counties produce oats at thirty-five cents per bushel, three counties do not report oats. Fifty-three coun-ties produce tobacco at $7.40 per 100 pounds ; forty-five counties do not report tobacco. Thirty-three counties report increase in wages, one county a decrease and sixty-four counties report no change. Table No. 4 shows road, education, religious and moral conditions. Ninety-two counties favor road improvement by taxation ; six coun-ties do not favor such road improvement. 14 ]STortii Carolina Labor Statistics.

CHAPTER THE TRADES. The Act creating this Department contemplated only the collec-tion of information upon the subject of labor, its relation to capital, the hours of labor, the earnings of laboring men and women, their educational, moral and financial conditions, and the best means of promoting their mental, material, social and moral prosperity. But a slight departure from the general condition affecting wage earners, in a broad sense of the term, is shown in the compilation of infor-mation obtained from correspondents who are engaged in the various "trades" themselves. The conclusions reached indicate little change from the conditions obtaining last year. There has been an appreci-able increase in the varieties of the trades usually represented in this chapter of the report. The wage earners have not yet been enabled to realize the favor-able conditions which prevailed for some years prior to 1907. A season of depression, probably, affects this class of the State's citizen-ship more than any other, in that it forces them out of permanent employment and brings about the necessity of searching for positions or remaining in enforced idleness. It may be suggested, truthfully, however, that those avocations commonly termed the "trades" and embracing representatives possessing experience and ability, have afforded employment more regularly, if at reduced wages, than the daily wage worker in many of the mill villages, lumber plants and other industrial centers, where the more skilled class of labor is not in demand. But while general conditions are yet unfavorable there are comparatively few skilled laborers, willing to work for a reason-able wage, out of employment in any section of the State. The wage earner is confronted with a most annoying situation in the demands upon his earnings for actual living expenses. Prices for home necessities have advanced out of proportion to his earning capacity. A condition and not a theory stares him in the face, but he represents a type of sturdy manhood which always responds when duty calls. And the hope is expressed that the laborer may again "be worthy of his hire," rather than a citizen seeking means of support. Condition of Trades. 27 Following will be found the conclusions reached from the direct answers to questions to wage earners themselves, and represent in-dividual reports.

CHAPTER IV. LABOR UNIONS. Conditions concerning labor unions, and the relation of labor unions generally to enterprises which might naturally be supposed to be affected by these conditions, in this State, present an elusive question. The evils which call for, and usually result in, the organi-zation of trades unions, are, and have been, few, with the consequence that organization campaigns from either internal or external sources have not been numerous. Another reason for the nonagitation along organization lines is the influence the employers have over the em-ployees. The number of employees at work for one concern in most cases is comparatively small, and the element of personal contact enters largely into the attitude of employees toward the business in which they are engaged. Employers are able to see the fairness or unfairness of a proposition to their help, and will usually correct injustices without such pressure as united demand or threatened strike. Employees can also, in most instances, be made to see the equity of any given situation, especially when the two parties in interest, i. e., employer and employed, are brought face to face. This observation can not, however, be applied to concerns using a large number of hands. So far as it has been possible to ascertain, there is no organization of textile workers in North Carolina. It would be manifestly impolitic for this Department to take any position on this question, and any statements made having any appearance of so doing, are purely conclusions deducted from ob-servation of the working of the movement locally—that is to say, in the State. It is an open question whether strikes, where public utilities are concerned, should be permitted by law. On the one hand, persons and businesses of persons who are by no means respon-sible for the laborer's grievance (real or fancied) are made to bear the brunt of inconvenience and expense. On the other hand when the laborer has a real grievance, the strike seems to be his only means of redress. At times the large number of laborers interested makes it impossible for the entire lot of aggrieved persons to in- Labor Unions. 43 dividually, though at the same time through a collective agreement, leave the employment of the offending establishment and place them-selves in immediate employment elsewhere. It would seem that arbitration would be the logical remedy in cases of irreconcilable differences, but here we are met by the difficulty of securing arbitra-tors who thoroughly understand the proposition to be dealt with, and are at the same time unbiased in their opinions. None of the unions reporting show signs of extremeness in their views, and a good many of the unions to which the report blanks were sent failed to answer the questions asked. It is probable that the generally satisfactory conditions under which members are now working have led to a general lack of interest in the affairs of the various organizations, and this conclusion may be used as a reason why more of the unions did not respond. In the appendix appears the names of all the local unions in the State, so far as has been ascertained. These were furnished us by the secretaries of the na-tional organizations. Number of unions, 110. Number of unions reporting, 47. Ag-gregate number of members of unions reporting, 1,730. Estimated number of persons engaged in the various trades in the localities cov-ered by unions reporting, 2,506 ; per cent belonging to unions, 68, nearly. Percentage of illiteracy, journeymen, one and sixty-three one-hundredths; apprentices, two and thirty-seven one-hundredths. The average scale of wages per day is $2,883. Thirty-eight unions report health or accident insurance ; eight report no health or acci-dent insurance ; one does not answer. Thirty-five report death bene-fit ; five no death benefit ; seven do not answer. The other details of the report are best shown in the tables. 44 Nokth Carolina Labor, Statistics •snorafi en 3uo[ag }uaQ jaj apBJx ui pjSuSug A}ttiiuu -UIOQ UI SU0SJ9J | •siaq'aaj\[ jaqoin^ Oi i-t ~H r-t m a i «8 -< m P >J if -o fl 9 o «< J j3 o "0 a S a 5-°- m SM ° c O -m P g? 73 -.r3 -hts n p 0)T) . js i—i ^^ a) 3 ,,-cl 2 a J§i2 § °J3 P.-S c S3 -S5-SW.2 , t e o .: 3.2 £ fcP ' 3 5 $ mTJ.- Q : o 7" o 2 - •« 5 pq P cS-a od go |d § O oO S P P pq p^ U.

Seventy-five and seven-tenths per cent of the establishments do not employ union labor ; five-tenths of one per cent employ both union and non-union; seven and nine-tenths per- cent employ union labor, and fifteen and nine-tenths per cent do not answer question. In the appendix we have made a list of the factories, classified and alphabetized, which it is hoped will be of benefit to parties who are looking 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 de-siring same will address this office, pleasure will be taken in the fur-nishing of anything that may be properly classified under the heads that this department may be supposed to cover. Our main purpose is to benefit, or be of service to, the manufacturers or wage-laborers, Miscellaneous Factories. 55 and inquiries are invited on questions which may fairly be assumed to be in our line. In the following tables will be found the detailed information from which these conclusions have been drawn. 56 North Carolina Labor Statistics.
