This tells the story Of factory inspection as generally

factory lords who give preference TO child labor tor the

labor; then why should it not make clean job OF it
II is not the business Of capital proong life, to conserve
health and to establish codes Of ethics but to exort pro
from human flesh and if child flesh will yield larger re-
turns, why should it not be given preference?
This is all there to the question Capitalism cares
nothing for the lives Of the workers except insofar as its
own interests are concerned and when pretends in the
name of humanity to safeguard the lives and limbs OF
children il practices deceit and is guilty OF shameless
hypocracy.
