Description:Excerpt from Twentieth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor and Printing: Of the State of North Carolina To His Excellency, Eobest B.Glenn Cj 0 Governor. Sik: In submitting to yon the Twentieth (my sixth) Annnal Eeport of the Bnrean of Labor and Printing, as provided by law, Twish to assure you that the information presented is as complete as it has been possible to ascertain with the facilities available under existing conditions. In the language of a predecessor, I will say: The appropriation is so small that it is impossible to visit the mines, or to do a good many things that the law requires. However, this report shows a material advancement along industrial lines in the State, and actual conditions existing among the laboring classes of manufacturing districts, indicated by the testimony of the manufacturers themselves. These statistics indicate the educational and financial condition of operatives in the mills and factories of various kinds; wages paid, the hours employed, etc. Also, the authorized amount of capital invested, number of spindles and looms in operation, power developed, and other facts of general interest to the public. It will be seen from the reports of the farmers that labor is scarce and unreliable to a considerable extent. This is largely attributable to the lack of organization and a just conception of the value of an education which would j)repare our wage-earners for the high-class employment demanded by the scientific farmer of this day and generation. The farmers assert that wages are high and labor hard to obtain at any price due, they suggest, to a desire upon the part of the workingmen to engage in other pursuits and professions. The need of a more adequate knowledge of the duties required at their hands, and the importance of putting forth every endeavor to elevate our citizenship should be impressed upon every class of labor, and I believe a compulsory school law would be a great step forward in the effort to obtain the best results along the line suggested. By this means the rising generation could be better prepared to fill the places of the uneducated and, sometimes, indolent wage-earner of the pres j Oent day.
