LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
To His Excellency,
Thomas W. Bickett,
Governor of North Carolina.
Sik:—Pursuant to the requirements of the statute creating this
branch of the State Government and acts supplemental thereto, I
have the honor to submit herewith the Thirty-first report of the De-partment
of Labor and Printing for the State of ^N'orth Carolina
covering the biennial period 1917-1918.
The popularity of the form in which the report has previously been
issued, it is thought, justifies the retention, under the biennial publi-cation,
of the sa,me rule followed heretofore. Always it is the purpose
of the Department to enlarge the scope of the information, and to
present as completely and succinctly as possible the facts desired to
be carried. Only by the employment of field agents will it be possible
to make the report complete in every detail.
As is also permitted, it is desired to submit, for your consideration,
and for the information of the General Assembly, some recommenda-tions
that the Department feels should be presented and acted upon
by our lawmaking body. It is the opinion of this ofiice that the age
at which children should be permitted to work in industrial plants, or
workshops, should be raised to fourteen years for day service and that
adequate machinery be provided for effective law enforcement. Only
with complete inspection can a proper condition relative to child labor
be reached.
Safety requirements for machinery, boilers, etc., should be enacted,
as well as sanitary laws, and statutes looking to the prevention of fires
and accidents. ISTorth Carolina is well toward the foot of the list of
states providing statutes along the line suggested, and it may be that
the reason for this lies in a general misunderstanding between the
advocates of remedial legislation of the character outlined and the
operators of industrial plants over the State.
The United States Government is endeavoring to maintain existing
industrial standards by writing into its contracts for supplies the pro-visions
of the Child Labor Law recently overruled by the Federal
Supreme Court, which, it will be remembered, was voided on a techni-cality.
Practically, the same law is effective in all of the progressive
states of the Union, and our own State should take a decided stand,
without further delay, in favor of legislation which will meet the test
of humanitarianism at each turn of the way through all future years.
Our slogan should be : "Save the women and children for the world."
Respectfully submitted, ^ M. L. Shipman,
"^ Commissioner.

CHAPTER
INTRODUCTOKY
The General Assembly for 1917 changed the Report of the Depart-ment
of Labor and Printing from an annual to a biennial publication.
In future the report will be issued in even years—1918, 1920, etc.
It has been especially diiScult to secure a fairly complete list of the
factories this year, many of those reporting in former years having
changed hands, some of them gone out of business, and some new ones
having been established during the two years elapsing since the last
blank was sent out.
Chapter II, Farms and Farm Labor, shows, in Table I, conditions
of farm and labor, employment, trend of cost of living. Table II
covers questions of tendency toward diversification of crops, and im-provement
in method of cultivation, wages, and financial condition of
laborers. Table III shows cost of production of various farm prod-ucts.
Table IV shows condition of roads, education, religion, and
morals, and general trend of each.
Chapter III, The Trades, shows, in Table I, prevalence of labor
organization, wages by trades, method of paj^ment, and increase or
decrease of wages. Table II shows unit of working time, period of
payment, permanency of employment, cost of living. Table III
shows hours constituting 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 finan-cial
conditions.
Chapter IV, Cotton, Woolen, and Silk Mills. Table I shows mills
by counties, executive ofiicers, year established, capital stock, name
of selling 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 liter-acy,
persons dependent on operation of factory for livelihood, observ-ance
of labor laws. Included under this head, but treated separately,
will be found the woolen, silk, and cordage mills.
12 Introductory
Chapter Y, Knitting Mills. This division carries the same informa-tion
rehitive to knitting- mills as occnrs under Chapter IV with rela-tion
to cotton mills.
Chapter VI, Fumiture Factories. Table I shows factories by
counties, 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 consti-tuting
day's w^ork, number dependent on factory, wages, per cent of
literacy, estimated value of plant, estimated annual output.
Chapter VII, 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
the 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.
I^ot that it would not be desirable to enumerate these concerns in our
report, but because it has been found impossible to secure a list of
these small concerns ; many of them are temporary, and many change
ownership and location so frequently as to make reliability of reports
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 manufac-turers
to report. Table I shows factories by counties, name of presi-dent
and secretary or treasurer, article manufactured, capital, when
established, and Table II shows estimated value of plant, value of
output, time in operation, 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 VIII, Newspapers. Summary shows classification by
period of publication and politics, and total circulation of each class.
Table I shows list of j^apers by counties, how published, editor and
proprietor. Table II shows day of publication, class, date of estab-lishment
and circulation. Table III shows number of employees,
wao-es, etc.
Introductoey 13
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.
APPEI^DIX
In this division of the report has been grouped all other available
information properly bearing on the subjects covered in the pages
preceding it, to which reference is invited. In this will be found a
classified list of industries, together with the labor laws as applied to
mines, mills, and factories.
CHAPTER II
FAEMS AND FAEM LABOR
Farming activities in the State this year have jDroduced a situation
which is generally considered most favorable. Weather conditions
retarded early planting in some sections and the summer drought pre-vented
a maximum yield of corn and cotton over a broad expanse of
fertile fields from the foothills to the coastal plains. However, record
crops of wheat, rye, potatoes, soy and velvet beans, and numerous
varieties of vegetables adapted to JSTorth Carolina soil are reported.
Hot dry weather hindered the growth and development of cotton, with
the result that this crop is scarcely up to the average this year. Like-wise,
unseasonable weather in the late summer and early frosts in the
western counties have cut short the corn crop to a considerable extent,
although it is believed that a sufficiency for home consumption has
been garnered, and enough to share liberally with the Allies of
America in the world war for liberty. But for the serious shortage
of farm labor the surplus of various crops would be far in excess of
what it is. Every county in the State reports labor scarce, and vigor-ous
action has been taken by local authorities to enlist the cooperation
of every available citizen of earning capacity in working and harvest-ing
crops of various kinds.
Farm products have steadily increased in price since the last issue
of this report. Cotton, corn, and wheat have brought especially good
prices, and the demand for truck and by-products has been such as to
make any produce suited to this locality highly profitable to the pro-ducer.
Gradually the necessity for shipping fruits, berries, and
vegetables into local markets is disappearing, for the reason that
home-gro\\Ti supplies of this character are becoming more and more
available. JSTo such observation can be applied to pork and beef prod-ucts,
butter and eggs. There are times when it is almost impossible
to secure either of the above four articles, except of the cold-storage
variety, and there has never been a time, within a generation, which
offered greater inducements for dairying, gTOwing stock and raising
poultry. The cheese industry is assuming proportions and faces a
future fraught with many possibilities.
l!^otable among the agencies at work for the improvement of farms
and farming methods is the State's Agricultural and Engineering Col-lege,
both in the development of the younger generation and in the
help it has placed at the call of the older farmers in short courses, etc.,
ancl the splendid activities of the State Department of Agriculture,
Farms and Earm Labor 15
tlirough its corps of office men and advisers, as well as the experiment
farms and traveling demonstrators, who are doing effective work for
the betterment of general farm conditions in rural communities.
In the present emergency an equitable distribution of the State's
labor is essential. There is gTave danger of even a more serious short-age
in farm labor, and the cooperation of every citizen is needed in the
effort to induce the unemployed to take up agricultural pursuits—
a
field in which the demand for help is generally far in excess of the
supply. Thousands of our young men are either in training camps
or at the front, and the shortage in farm labor is bound to be still more
keenly felt unless some way can be found whereby the employers in
cities and towns may join hands with the farmers in working out a
just and equitable distribution of our labor supply. For there is no
way around facing the fact that bread is just as essential as bullets in
carrying on a war.
Eeports indicate that the value of land has increased in every county
of the State during the last biennial period ; that fertility in all has
been maintained, and that labor is scarce. Tendency towards smaller
farms and more intensive farming in eighty-one; to larger ones in
sixteen, and no noticeable change in three. ^N'inety-one counties report
labor irregular, seven reg-ular, and two "about the same."_ Public
highways are reported good in twenty-one counties and fair in all the
others ; improving in seventy-eight ; getting slightly better in eighteen.
All except seven of the counties of the State report public opinion
favorable to the construction and maintenance of public thoroughfares
by methods of taxation.
Wage conditions show a healthy increase over previous reports.
Present scale: Highest average paid men, per day, $1.92; lowest,
$1.16 ; highest paid women, $1.15 ; lowest, 76 cents. Average wages
of children, 62 cents. A general increase is noted in all the counties.
The financial condition of wage-earners on the farms is reported good
in thirty-six counties, fair in sixty-two, slightly better in the remain-ing
two. Educational condition good in ten, fair in eighty-eight,
medium fair in two. Improving in eighty-nine, slight advancements
in eight, and "not much change" in three. On the whole, the educa-tional
.and financial condition of agricultural workers shows marked
improvement over that prevailing when the report of this Department
was last issued. A tendency toward more favorable conditions for this
class of workers is clearly apparent and will doubtless be met in a
spirit of cooperation on every hand.
The tables following present the facts from which the deductions
for this summary were taken.

CHAPTER III
THE TRADES
The State is steadily progressing along all lines of industrial en-deavor,
and the people some time ago set themselves to the task of
keeping abreast of the times. Capital and labor in Xorth Carolina
are on distinctly friendly terms and labor disturbances are rare occur-rences
in our commonwealth. There is a hopeful tendency towards
even more favorable conditions for the wage-earner as the demand
for his services increases with the great industrial awakening now
existent. Employers realize that ^'the laborer is worthy of his hire,"
and voluntary advances in the wage scale have been frequent occur-rences
in North Carolina the past year. This has not been confined
to any particular class of workers. It applies to factory, farm—to
every trade and profession. Wages were never higher in this State
than they are today, nor has the demand for labor ever been greater.
Skilled workers of every trade have enlisted with those who are en-gaged
in perfecting Government plans for the successful prosecution
of the war, and their absence is felt in every industry and business
activity. But labor has determined to do its best in helping win the
war, and the average ISTorth Carolina worker feels deeply the obliga-tion
laid upon him in this great crisis. While necessity requires, the
home field must be neglected, for what will home profit us if we do not
win the war ? So far, no industry in the State apparently has been
seriously impaired for lack of labor, although the scarcity of efficient
help is being keenly felt in some sections.
The wage-earners, with all other patriotic I^^forth Carolinians, are
assisting, to the utmost extent of their ability, in the prosecution of
the part the United States has taken in the world struggle for democ-racy.
They realize that victory for civilization upon the battle-fields
of France can be won only by the full exertion of the man-power of the
entire country ; that full mobilization of that power means not only
the placing of a sufficient number of soldiers in Europe, but the un-stinted
exertion of every able-bodied person in the United States in
some field of adequate and useful employment ; that the war must be
fought by the nation at home as well as by the soldiers upon the field
of conquest. Therefore, a large percentage of the toilers of this State
have this year been devoting their energies to the execution of co-operative
plans, with the Government, in endeavoring to secure the
maximum effort on the part of all the people in producing record crop
yields and utilizing every resource in making our man-power effective
both at home and in Government war activities everwhere. There
The Trades 23
is no room for the labor slacker in jSTortli Carolina, ''Work or fight"
is the slogan which has been and is still being used with telling eifect
from one end of the State to the other. Barring a few trifling experi-ences
with professional exploiters of labor, the State has found little
difficulty in adjusting the labor situation to new and changed con-ditions.
Through all the exciting scenes and activities of the past year, our
people have been able to maintain existing laws and standards relative
to the employment of women and children reasonably well. They
have tried to avoid the experience England had in the early part of
the war, when the health and efficiency of her female workers became
seriously impaired through long and continued hours of labor, because
more workers were not available. Vigorous action has been taken to
enlist the cooperation of every citizen of earning capacity, and efforts
in this direction have been worth while. Labor is loyal in J^orth
Carolina.
Since the last previous issue of this Report (1916) conditions in
the trades have undergone such radical and rapid changes as to make
it almost impossible to present an account of the status at this time.
War work of various kinds has drawn upon the different lines to such
an extent that the local demand far exceeds the number of tradesmen
available, with a consequent increase in wages, or charges, such wages
or charges changing so rapidly as to prevent any stable price being set.
The figures shown in the tables under this head were asked for on July
1st and reported over a period covering July, AugTist, and September..
The condensed form of the tables, showing the conclusions on each:
question, is such as to make it unnecessary to summarize the wages,,
hours, apprenticeship, etc., as has formerly been the practice.

CHAPTER IV
COTTOX, CORDAGE, SILK, AND WOOLEN MILLS
Cotton ]\Iills
Along with the advance in price of other materials, the selling
valne of the products of cotton mills in North Carolina has ad-vanced
in proportion. The mills, as a rule, have run to capacity,
and the reports sent in to this office indicate that the normal steady
growth of the permanent and substantial phases of the industry
shown since its beginning has been kept up, notwithstanding the ab-normal
conditions under which the industry has operated for the
past two years. Cotton (raw material) has been high throughout
the entire period, and while wages paid by the mills seem not to have
been advanced to the high levels reached in some other lines, it does
not appear that the present wages will be subject to the reductions
that may reasonably be expected to take place where the greatest
advances have been made. Taken as a whole, the period seems to
have been one of satisfactory improvement, both to the mills and
to the employees.
Below will be found the tables of figures relating to the various
details.
The number of mills reporting is 331. Of this number 298 report
capital stock, which aggregates $70,542,492. The number of spindles
is given as 4,456,314; looms, 69,784; cards, 12,155; and the num-ber
of horse-power employed, 180,651. The approximate amount of
raw material used was 492,925,075 pounds; the estimated value of
yearly output, $373,924,860. Total number of employees reported
is 68,292. Of these, 35,476 are males, 25,087 are females, 7,729
are children (under 16 years of age). The estimated number de-pendent
on these mills and on the 68,292 employees for a livelihood,
194,747. The percentage of employees who read and write is given
as 88.
28 NoKTH Carolina Labor Statistics
The high average wages for males is $4.38; low average is $1.78.
High average for females $2.84; low average, $1.51. Two hundred
and thirty mills pay wages weekly ; eighty-three pay twice a month
;
one pays daily ; seventeen do not report.
One hundred and fifty establishments report the use of electric
power; 49 use steam; 59 use electric and steam; 28 use steam and
water; 11 electric and water; 9 steam, water, and electric; 16 water
and steam ; 9 do not report.
One hundred and twenty-six of the mills spin and weave; 190 spin
only ; 6 weave only ; 9 bleach and finish.
