Annual Report of Labor Commissioners
Matthews.

Augusta, December 90. IS. W. Mat
thews, commissioner of industrial and
LABOR statistics, has again issued his
annual report which is fuller and more
comprehensive than ever and deals in an
interesting manner with the subjects con-
sidered, involving large amount of work
on the part of the commissioner and his
assistants, and the information impaired
through the work of the bureau is recog-
nized and appreciated at home and
abroad.
The conditions of labor have, during
the past year, been, generally, encourag-
ing. In most lines of industry employ.
nent at fair wages has been continuous
and abundant and the relations between
employers and employed amicable and
undisturbed. The principal exception to
this general rule, has been in the cotton
mills where, in several cases. extensive
strikers occurred in the early part of the
year, involving several thousand work.
men and lasting for several weeks. These
strikes were the result Of reductions in
wages made necessary, as was claimed by
mill owners, by the small margin of
profits in the manufacture of cotton
goods Estimates based on investigation
and reliable information, place the losses
in wages to the employees, at about $780,
900. %
In 1898, n buildings were erected for
industrial purposes at cost of s675. 100,
employing 224 hands. This is the smallest
in eight years except 1894.
