CHILD LABOR IN THE COTTON MILLS.
GEORGIA MANUFACTURERS WILL NOT ESCOUR-
AGE REFORMATION ON THE PART OF
INTERFERING LEADERS.

Child Labor in the Cotton Mills Of the South
IS the subject of article in the current
Der Of The Dry Goods Economist" by E. J. Lis
ter. Mr.. Lister is making tour of inspection
through mills in South Carolina, Georgia and other
States In which there is statutory restriction Of
child labor. Tennessee and Louisiana are the only
Southern States where such restriction exists.
and Mr. Lister writes that the conditions, while
sometimes overdrawn extremely bad He
cites EIbert Hubbard's article in the May Phil
istine" oyerdrawn at many points. and IS OF the
opinion that Mr. Hubbard has done more harm
than good by what he calls Misrepresentation
probably unintentional.
A study Of the cotton mills in the vicinity of
Augusta and Atlanta. Ga. and Columbia and Clin-
ton S. c., leads Mr.. Lister to the conclusion that
children Of twelve years Of age and under,
ployed In the work of tying broken threads and
"dof1ng" that is, clearing frames Of filled bob
bins and substituting empty ones. and working a
this employment for sixty-six hours week, pre-
sent a system Of slavery infinitely cruel and
debasing than the worst that ever existed in the
darkest days prior to the dawn of negro emanclpa-
ton" The children have the prison pallor'' and
pinched and haggard faces. They utterly t-
crate. The mill owners disclan responsibility for
this condition on the ground that the parents are
not alive to the necessity Of education and that the
mill owners themselves support special schools in
the neighborhood Of their mills Often the chill
dren and their mothers have 10 support their
fathers, Crackers they called. who live
on the income of the family until the boys
twenty-one, and in the OF the girls eighteen.
Children get from 40 TO 60 cents a day OF eleven
hours or. in the case Of very young children. 10
cents.
IN Georgia the mill owners have formed In
dustrial Association, and have voluntarily bound
themselves to some restrictions, which amount 10
setting years the minimum age for oper-
ativese They opposed the Child Labor bill intro
ground that i was fostered by labor leaders They
say the South viii make every effort 70 escape the
'interference of labor leaders experienced in the

Manufacturing in the South from an invested cap
iaI OF 0o0O 900 TO s3 10000 IN 1866 TO the present
amount estimated sI75 100000, is said TO have
outstripped the supply OF labor, and Il mill owners
refused employ children the families, they say,
would remove. They point out that young chill
dren, especially illterate children, make unproht-
able workers. Yet, as Mr.. Lister remarks, they
oppose restrictive legislation which would relieve
them of such difficulties ana while es doi9g t SO on
make no attempt TO initiate any themselves.
