In presenting this, the Twenty-third Annual Report, it appears nec-essary to provide it with a certain amount of explanation. Primarily, the purpose of the statistics is to show hours of labor and wages, conditions of labor, and to give an idea of what progress is being made in an educational and moral way, whether there is an improvement in general proficiency, and the relation of supply to demand. In some quarters to which the report is sent, these purposes are over-looked, the recipients expecting rather a directory of manufacturing enterprises. Under the peculiar conditions of the law governing the Department and the manner of collection of statistics, it has proved im-possible, excepting cotton, woolen and silk mills, 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, in so far as the means at hand have allowed, it has been the purpose to include every factory, of whatever kind, employing five or more people, that it was possible to reach. It is highly gratifying to note that the disinclination to report, as noted in former years, has almost entirely disappeared, though there are still quite a good many of the factories who, while not refusing, neglect to fill out and return the blanks sent by mail. "Where this has been the case, as far as possible, and so far as time would permit, the Commis-sioner or the Assistant Commissioner has visited the factories and secured the information asked for in the blanks. As has been stated above, it is an impossibility to make a complete list of the factories, some of them having commenced or gone out of business during the interval between the time of the investigations and the time of issuing the report, and some of the factories whose names appear on the record have failed to report. In the appendix will be found a list of all facto-ries on our list, including both those that have and have not reported, alphabetized 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 Re-ports, and it is manifestly impracticable to give these. 12 North Carolina Labor Statistics. There are no laws at present governing factory inspection, nor any laws touching child labor other than the chapter given, nor is it at all likely that any change will be effective until sometime during the year 1911. It had been the purpose to include in this report comparative statis-tics of organized and unorganized labor, but it has been found that this was impracticable on account of the difficulty of securing the organized labor reports. It is hoped that sufficient data can be secured for the next report to make this comparison. Whatever information we have concerning organized labor will be found following the Trades table. Inquiries bearing upon the questions covered in the report are invited, and will be given prompt and careful attention. We take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance of the manu-facturers called upon, who have aided us in many ways. CHAPTER II. FARMS AND FARM LABOR. SUMMARY. The deductions apparent in the face of the figures in the tables, while representing the answers to questions, are misleading to a certain extent in some instances. There has been "no increase of wages" reported, yet many of the hands that were formerly employed at the minimum wage are now receiving the maximum figure, or some figure between the mini-mum and the maximum, and while the average wage would figure the same, the facts are that the mean figure does not represent average wages. It is probable that wages are 20 per cent higher than this point. There is strong evidence of a greater improvement in general proficiency, brought about primarily by the schools, which appear to have an influ-ence wider than the circle including the children who attend, and sec-ondarily by the example furnished where one or more influential farm-ers have shown what results could be accomplished under the proper handling of fertilization and cultivation. Increase in the price of land, increasing also rents on given areas, has been responsible for a more intensive cultivation, and while supplies that farmers have to buy have steadily advanced in cost, the farmers as a class have steadily reduced the number and amount of these articles to be bought. A gratifying breadth of vision is noticeable among the farmers generally, and few farms are now found where there is not some phase of the farm life of especial pride, either in increase of yield and improvement of soil, or in some thoroughbred or standard-bred stock. Attention is also being given seed selection, and we take this opportunity to notice in passing, the work of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. Where the bulletins of this Department are being received, a noticeable amount of thought is being given to farming, and cultivation of the soil is now recognized as one of the money-making avocations instead of one of the last resorts as a means to live. Following will be found the conclusions as shown by the figures given in the answer to questions sent out from this office. 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 eighty-seven counties, decrease in two and no change in nine. Fertility of land is re- 14 North Carolina Labor Statistics. ported maintained in eighty-four counties; fourteen report that it is not maintained. Six counties report a tendency to have larger farms; ninety-two smaller. Eighty-six counties report labor scarce; twelve plentiful. Ninety-five counties report negro labor unreliable ; two relia-ble, and one, no negro labor. Sixty counties report employment regular ; thirty-eight irregular. Every county reports an -increase in cost of living. In Table No. 2 eighty-six counties report that there is change towards diversification of crops ; eight no change and four do not answer the question. Ninety-six counties report improvement in method of cultiva-tion of crops and four do not answer the question. Highest average wages paid men, $24.11, an increase of $1.50 per month over last year; lowest, $14.79, an increase of $1.39 per month over last year. Highest average wages paid women, $14.76, an increase of $1.04 per month over last year; lowest, $9.49, an increase of 72 cents per month over last year. Average wages of children, $8.44, a decrease of seven cents per month over last year. Twenty report financial con-dition of working people good, forty-two fair, thirty poor, three bad, and three do not answer question. Seventy-one counties report improve-ment ; twenty-four no improvement, and three do not answer question. Table No. 3 shows that sixty-eight counties produce cotton at $33.82 per bale of 500 pounds; thirty counties do not report. Seventy-seven counties produce wheat at a cost of seventy-seven cents per bushel; twenty-one counties do not report wheat. Ninety-seven counties pro-duce corn at a cost of fifty-three cents per bushel and one county does not report corn. Ninety-two counties produce oats at thirty-eight cents per bushel; six counties do not report oats. Fifty-one counties produce tobacco at $7.71 per 100 pounds; forty-seven counties do not report. Sixteen counties report increase in wages, six counties a decrease and seventy-six counties report no change. Table No. 4 shows road, education, religious and moral conditions. Ninety-three counties favor road improvement by taxation. One county does not favor such road improvement, and four do not answer the ques-tion.

CHAPTER THE TEADES. In addition to the specific information asked for in the blanks sent out, the Department has taken a general survey of the conditions under which the Trades, or, more properly speaking, the body of working men and women, are now laboring. The conclusions reached, based on the answers to inquiries which appear in one form or another on all blanks, save one, sent out from this office, relate to phases of the question that cannot be answered comprehensively by yes or no, or by any figures. A certain amount of the losses in quantity of work offered and prices paid for service which occurred in the latter part of 1907 and 1908 have been regained, and while employment is by no means so easily found, and it may be that wages are slightly less than in the floodtide of 1907, on the whole, conditions affecting the trades may be said to be in a shape fully as satisfactory as at any time in the industrial history of the State. During the season of depression above referred to the less well-qualified members of the various trades were forced out, and found their places in other spheres, possibly returning to the situations from which they had been drawn by the unusual demand for workmen more or less skilled, and have become established in their original occupations. Of course, some of the ones that had entered into the trades, having devel-oped the necessary qualifications, were not forced out with the reaction. When conditions improved those working men still remaining in any given occupation represented a type of higher average ability than Avas represented in the trade in the first instance, and these were able to_ at once command wages in keeping with the character of service rendered. It is true that there is not sufficient employment for all labor, but it is also true that there is not sufficient of certain kinds of labor to meet demand. The progress of the period calls for a better class of labor, and this demand has a stimulating effect on the production of the supply needed. Following will be found the conclusions reached from the direct an-swers to questions to wage-earners themselves, and represent individual reports. The conclusions concerning wages and wage-earners given in the factory tables are from the factories and represent collective reports. SUMMARY. The average wages of the different trades are as follows : Barber, $2.03, an increase of fifty-three cents over last year. Blacksmith, $1.53. a decrease of thirty-four cents.

UNION LABOE. As was stated in the introductory, information relating to unions and union labor could not be secured sufficiently extensive to justify a tabu-lated report, in time for this number of the report. The organizations reporting furnish data for the following deductions : Trades that have organizations in North Carolina are : Barbers, Book-binders, Bricklayers, Carpenters and Joiners, Clerks, Lathers, Moulders, Plasterers, Plumbers, Printers, Pressmen, Sheet Metal Workers. Aver-age number of hours worked, 8.9. Average wages per day, $2,975. Per cent of members read and write, 99.8. Seventy per cent of the unions report sick benefit ; 10 per cent no sick benefit ; 20 per cent do not report. Ninety per cent report death benefit ; 10 per cent report no death benefit. Ninety per cent of unions report that 62.5 per cent of persons employed in trades covered belong to union ; 10 per cent do not report. The terms of apprenticeship are given as 2 to 4 years ; average term of apprentice-ship, 3.3 years. CHAPTER IV. MISCELLANEOUS FACTORIES. In the following tables of miscellaneous factories we have used only those factories concerning which it has been possible to secure certain information. Other factories on the list are not used in the compilation of figures owing to deficiency of reports sent in, or on account of not having filed reports. General indications show that the factories are rapidly being put on a substantial basis—that is, show an absence of mushroom growth, or what is commonly known as "schemes." Few new factories are re-ported, but, on the whole, conditions may be said to represent a stable progress, sufficiently rapid to show growth, but at the same time at a rate that would seem to indicate only the meeting of a demand that may reasonably be expected to be permanent. So far as the information at hand shows, there have been no enlargements to meet temporary calls for manufactured articles, nor is it apparent that an overproduction has resulted in any case, the factories rather proceeding along the line of making, with a comfortable margin, the goods necessary to meet market demand. In Table jNo. 1 it will be noted that there has been added a more ex-tended account of the articles manufactured, and a column showing the estimated value of plant. The names of secretaries or treasurers have been added, and distinguished from the name of the president, instead of running, as heretofore, a column showing name of president, secre-tary or treasurer. Under each county the post office and under each post office the names of the factories have been alphabetized. In Table No. 3 a column has been added for the question, "Is Improve-ment shown in general proficiency?" which speaks for itself. The two last columns of this table, "Is product sold direct? Wholesale or to consumer ?" are also added, for general information. Aggregate capital reported by 596 factories, $34,956,344. Seventy-nine factories do not report capital stock. 40 North Carolina Labor Statistics. Six hundred and fifty-one factories report power used as follows : Steam, 434; electric, 111; water, 26; hand, 24; gasoline, 23; steam and electric, 16 ; steam and water, 5 ; gasoline and electric, 2 ; gas, 1 ; steam, electric and hydraulic, 1 ; coal, 1 ; steam and gas, or gasoline, 7. These establishments, exclusive of twenty-four using hand power, show the employment of 152,747 horsepower. Five hundred and twenty-five fac-tories report (estimated) 86,538 persons dependent upon the factory's operation for a livelihood. Four hundred and twenty-nine factories re-port ten hours constitute a day's work; eighty-three factories twelve hours ; forty-seven, eleven hours ; twenty-three, nine hours ; ten, ten and a half hours; five, eight hours; five, nine and a half hours ; two, ten and a fourth hours ; one, ten and three-quarter hours ; twenty-five do not report. Twenty-four and six-tenths per cent report increase of wages; sixty-four and seven-tenths per cent report no change ; five and six-tenths per cent report decrease; five and five-tenths per cent do not report. Sixty-seven and six-tenths per cent pay wages weekly; twenty-one and two-tenths pay semi-monthly; nine and seven-tenths per cent pay monthly; six-tenths of one per cent pay daily; nine-tenths of one per cent do not answer this question. Six hundred and forty-six factories report 31,563 persons employed. This number is made up of 26,234 males, 3,974 females, 1,355 children. Highest average wages per day: Males, $2,385; females, $1.42. Lowest average wages: Males, 97 cents; females, 77 cents. Eighty-four per cent of adult employees read and write; eighty-eight per cent of chil-dren. Forty-two per cent report improvement in financial condition of employees; thirty-one per cent report no improvement; twenty-seven per cent do not answer. Forty-one per cent report improvement in general proficiency of em-ployees; twenty-six per cent no improvement; thirty-three per cent do not report. Fifty-five per cent report labor plentiful ; ten per cent not plentiful; thirty-five per cent do not report. Seventy-four per cent of the establishments do not employ union labor; four per cent employ both union and non-union; four per cent employ union, and eighteen per cent do not answer question. Miscellaneous Factories. II 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 in-formation of a general character desired, and parties desiring same will address this office, pleasure will be taken in the furnishing 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, 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. 42 North Carolina Labor Statistics.

In presenting this, the Twenty-third Annual Report, it appears nec-essary to provide it with a certain amount of explanation. Primarily, the purpose of the statistics is to show hours of labor and wages, conditions of labor, and to give an idea of what progress is being made in an educational and moral way, whether there is an improvement in general proficiency, and the relation of supply to demand. In some quarters to which the report is sent, these purposes are over-looked, the recipients expecting rather a directory of manufacturing enterprises. Under the peculiar conditions of the law governing the Department and the manner of collection of statistics, it has proved im-possible, excepting cotton, woolen and silk mills, 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, in so far as the means at hand have allowed, it has been the purpose to include every factory, of whatever kind, employing five or more people, that it was possible to reach. It is highly gratifying to note that the disinclination to report, as noted in former years, has almost entirely disappeared, though there are still quite a good many of the factories who, while not refusing, neglect to fill out and return the blanks sent by mail. "Where this has been the case, as far as possible, and so far as time would permit, the Commis-sioner or the Assistant Commissioner has visited the factories and secured the information asked for in the blanks. As has been stated above, it is an impossibility to make a complete list of the factories, some of them having commenced or gone out of business during the interval between the time of the investigations and the time of issuing the report, and some of the factories whose names appear on the record have failed to report. In the appendix will be found a list of all facto-ries on our list, including both those that have and have not reported, alphabetized 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 Re-ports, and it is manifestly impracticable to give these. 12 North Carolina Labor Statistics. There are no laws at present governing factory inspection, nor any laws touching child labor other than the chapter given, nor is it at all likely that any change will be effective until sometime during the year 1911. It had been the purpose to include in this report comparative statis-tics of organized and unorganized labor, but it has been found that this was impracticable on account of the difficulty of securing the organized labor reports. It is hoped that sufficient data can be secured for the next report to make this comparison. Whatever information we have concerning organized labor will be found following the Trades table. Inquiries bearing upon the questions covered in the report are invited, and will be given prompt and careful attention. We take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance of the manu-facturers called upon, who have aided us in many ways. CHAPTER II. FARMS AND FARM LABOR. SUMMARY. The deductions apparent in the face of the figures in the tables, while representing the answers to questions, are misleading to a certain extent in some instances. There has been "no increase of wages" reported, yet many of the hands that were formerly employed at the minimum wage are now receiving the maximum figure, or some figure between the mini-mum and the maximum, and while the average wage would figure the same, the facts are that the mean figure does not represent average wages. It is probable that wages are 20 per cent higher than this point. There is strong evidence of a greater improvement in general proficiency, brought about primarily by the schools, which appear to have an influ-ence wider than the circle including the children who attend, and sec-ondarily by the example furnished where one or more influential farm-ers have shown what results could be accomplished under the proper handling of fertilization and cultivation. Increase in the price of land, increasing also rents on given areas, has been responsible for a more intensive cultivation, and while supplies that farmers have to buy have steadily advanced in cost, the farmers as a class have steadily reduced the number and amount of these articles to be bought. A gratifying breadth of vision is noticeable among the farmers generally, and few farms are now found where there is not some phase of the farm life of especial pride, either in increase of yield and improvement of soil, or in some thoroughbred or standard-bred stock. Attention is also being given seed selection, and we take this opportunity to notice in passing, the work of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. Where the bulletins of this Department are being received, a noticeable amount of thought is being given to farming, and cultivation of the soil is now recognized as one of the money-making avocations instead of one of the last resorts as a means to live. Following will be found the conclusions as shown by the figures given in the answer to questions sent out from this office. 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 eighty-seven counties, decrease in two and no change in nine. Fertility of land is re- 14 North Carolina Labor Statistics. ported maintained in eighty-four counties; fourteen report that it is not maintained. Six counties report a tendency to have larger farms; ninety-two smaller. Eighty-six counties report labor scarce; twelve plentiful. Ninety-five counties report negro labor unreliable ; two relia-ble, and one, no negro labor. Sixty counties report employment regular ; thirty-eight irregular. Every county reports an -increase in cost of living. In Table No. 2 eighty-six counties report that there is change towards diversification of crops ; eight no change and four do not answer the question. Ninety-six counties report improvement in method of cultiva-tion of crops and four do not answer the question. Highest average wages paid men, $24.11, an increase of $1.50 per month over last year; lowest, $14.79, an increase of $1.39 per month over last year. Highest average wages paid women, $14.76, an increase of $1.04 per month over last year; lowest, $9.49, an increase of 72 cents per month over last year. Average wages of children, $8.44, a decrease of seven cents per month over last year. Twenty report financial con-dition of working people good, forty-two fair, thirty poor, three bad, and three do not answer question. Seventy-one counties report improve-ment ; twenty-four no improvement, and three do not answer question. Table No. 3 shows that sixty-eight counties produce cotton at $33.82 per bale of 500 pounds; thirty counties do not report. Seventy-seven counties produce wheat at a cost of seventy-seven cents per bushel; twenty-one counties do not report wheat.

CHAPTER THE TEADES. In addition to the specific information asked for in the blanks sent out, the Department has taken a general survey of the conditions under which the Trades, or, more properly speaking, the body of working men and women, are now laboring. The conclusions reached, based on the answers to inquiries which appear in one form or another on all blanks, save one, sent out from this office, relate to phases of the question that cannot be answered comprehensively by yes or no, or by any figures. A certain amount of the losses in quantity of work offered and prices paid for service which occurred in the latter part of 1907 and 1908 have been regained, and while employment is by no means so easily found, and it may be that wages are slightly less than in the floodtide of 1907, on the whole, conditions affecting the trades may be said to be in a shape fully as satisfactory as at any time in the industrial history of the State. During the season of depression above referred to the less well-qualified members of the various trades were forced out, and found their places in other spheres, possibly returning to the situations from which they had been drawn by the unusual demand for workmen more or less skilled, and have become established in their original occupations. Of course, some of the ones that had entered into the trades, having devel-oped the necessary qualifications, were not forced out with the reaction. When conditions improved those working men still remaining in any given occupation represented a type of higher average ability than Avas represented in the trade in the first instance, and these were able to_ at once command wages in keeping with the character of service rendered. It is true that there is not sufficient employment for all labor, but it is also true that there is not sufficient of certain kinds of labor to meet demand. The progress of the period calls for a better class of labor, and this demand has a stimulating effect on the production of the supply needed. Following will be found the conclusions reached from the direct an-swers to questions to wage-earners themselves, and represent individual reports. The conclusions concerning wages and wage-earners given in the factory tables are from the factories and represent collective reports. SUMMARY. The average wages of the different trades are as follows : Barber, $2.03, an increase of fifty-three cents over last year. Blacksmith, $1.53. a decrease of thirty-four cents. Brickmason, $3.62, an increase of 28 North Carolina Labor Statistics. twelve cents. Carpenter, $1.74, a decrease of six cents. Clerk, $1.62, a decrease of three cents. Fireman, $1.27.

UNION LABOE. As was stated in the introductory, information relating to unions and union labor could not be secured sufficiently extensive to justify a tabu-lated report, in time for this number of the report. The organizations reporting furnish data for the following deductions : Trades that have organizations in North Carolina are : Barbers, Book-binders, Bricklayers, Carpenters and Joiners, Clerks, Lathers, Moulders, Plasterers, Plumbers, Printers, Pressmen, Sheet Metal Workers. Aver-age number of hours worked, 8.9. Average wages per day, $2,975. Per cent of members read and write, 99.8. Seventy per cent of the unions report sick benefit ; 10 per cent no sick benefit ; 20 per cent do not report. Ninety per cent report death benefit ; 10 per cent report no death benefit. Ninety per cent of unions report that 62.5 per cent of persons employed in trades covered belong to union ; 10 per cent do not report. The terms of apprenticeship are given as 2 to 4 years ; average term of apprentice-ship, 3.3 years. CHAPTER IV. MISCELLANEOUS FACTORIES. In the following tables of miscellaneous factories we have used only those factories concerning which it has been possible to secure certain information. Other factories on the list are not used in the compilation of figures owing to deficiency of reports sent in, or on account of not having filed reports. General indications show that the factories are rapidly being put on a substantial basis—that is, show an absence of mushroom growth, or what is commonly known as "schemes." Few new factories are re-ported, but, on the whole, conditions may be said to represent a stable progress, sufficiently rapid to show growth, but at the same time at a rate that would seem to indicate only the meeting of a demand that may reasonably be expected to be permanent. So far as the information at hand shows, there have been no enlargements to meet temporary calls for manufactured articles, nor is it apparent that an overproduction has resulted in any case, the factories rather proceeding along the line of making, with a comfortable margin, the goods necessary to meet market demand. In Table jNo. 1 it will be noted that there has been added a more ex-tended account of the articles manufactured, and a column showing the estimated value of plant. The names of secretaries or treasurers have been added, and distinguished from the name of the president, instead of running, as heretofore, a column showing name of president, secre-tary or treasurer. Under each county the post office and under each post office the names of the factories have been alphabetized. In Table No. 3 a column has been added for the question, "Is Improve-ment shown in general proficiency?" which speaks for itself. The two last columns of this table, "Is product sold direct? Wholesale or to consumer ?" are also added, for general information. Aggregate capital reported by 596 factories, $34,956,344. Seventy-nine factories do not report capital stock. 40 North Carolina Labor Statistics. Six hundred and fifty-one factories report power used as follows : Steam, 434; electric, 111; water, 26; hand, 24; gasoline, 23; steam and electric, 16 ; steam and water, 5 ; gasoline and electric, 2 ; gas, 1 ; steam, electric and hydraulic, 1 ; coal, 1 ; steam and gas, or gasoline, 7. These establishments, exclusive of twenty-four using hand power, show the employment of 152,747 horsepower. Five hundred and twenty-five fac-tories report (estimated) 86,538 persons dependent upon the factory's operation for a livelihood. Four hundred and twenty-nine factories re-port ten hours constitute a day's work; eighty-three factories twelve hours ; forty-seven, eleven hours ; twenty-three, nine hours ; ten, ten and a half hours; five, eight hours; five, nine and a half hours ; two, ten and a fourth hours ; one, ten and three-quarter hours ; twenty-five do not report. Twenty-four and six-tenths per cent report increase of wages; sixty-four and seven-tenths per cent report no change ; five and six-tenths per cent report decrease; five and five-tenths per cent do not report. Sixty-seven and six-tenths per cent pay wages weekly; twenty-one and two-tenths pay semi-monthly; nine and seven-tenths per cent pay monthly; six-tenths of one per cent pay daily; nine-tenths of one per cent do not answer this question. Six hundred and forty-six factories report 31,563 persons employed. This number is made up of 26,234 males, 3,974 females, 1,355 children. Highest average wages per day: Males, $2,385; females, $1.42. Lowest average wages: Males, 97 cents; females, 77 cents. Eighty-four per cent of adult employees read and write; eighty-eight per cent of chil-dren. Forty-two per cent report improvement in financial condition of employees; thirty-one per cent report no improvement; twenty-seven per cent do not answer. Forty-one per cent report improvement in general proficiency of em-ployees; twenty-six per cent no improvement; thirty-three per cent do not report. Fifty-five per cent report labor plentiful ; ten per cent not plentiful; thirty-five per cent do not report. Seventy-four per cent of the establishments do not employ union labor; four per cent employ both union and non-union; four per cent employ union, and eighteen per cent do not answer question. Miscellaneous Factories. II 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 in-formation of a general character desired, and parties desiring same will address this office, pleasure will be taken in the furnishing 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, 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. 42 North Carolina Labor Statistics.
