LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Raleigh,, December 1st, 1910.
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

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.

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

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.

SUMMARY.
The total number of miscellaneous factories reporting to the

exclusive of 15 using hand power, show the employment
of 109,207 horsepower. Four hundred and sixteen factories report
(estimated) 66,209 persons dependent upon the factories' operation
for a livelihood. The average hours worked per day, ten hours and
twenty-seven minutes.
Thirty-six per cent report increase of wages ; fifty-six and seven-tenths

per cent pay semi-monthly ; ten and two-tenths per cent pay monthly
;
three-tenths of one per cent pay daily ; three-tenths of one per cent
on demand ; one and seven-tenths per cent do not answer the question.
54 North Carolina Labor Statistics.
Five hundred and sixty-three factories report 34,107 persons em-ployed.
This number is made up of 28,622 males, 4,105 females,
1,380 children. Highest average wages per day: Males, $2.48;
females, $1.41. Lowest average wages : Males, 99 cents ; females,
71 cents.' Eighty-five per cent of adult employees read and write;
eighty-eight per cent of children. Forty-four and three-tenths per
cent report improvement in financial condition of employees ; thirty-two
and four-tenths per cent report no improvement ; twenty-three
and three-tenths per cent do not answer.
Forty-three and eight-tenths per cent report improvement in gen-eral
proficiency of employees ; twenty-nine and nine-tenths per cent
no improvement ; twenty-six and three-tenths per cent do not report.
Fifty-three per cent report labor plentiful ; thirteen and one-tenth
per cent not plentiful ; thirty-three and nine-tenths per cent do not
report.
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.
