Evidently If the reproach Of being
'pin-money workers. is to be brought
against anyone in these families it IL
not the girls who deserve the title.
A more important point is what the
contributions of these girls mean to
the families. In the four large in
dustries specially studied the share Of
the total family income brought in by
the girls over 16 ranged from a little
over a quarter to over two-fifths.
Relatively, their contribution was Of
least Importance in the families of tie
women glass workers where. It
reached on an average only 1912 a
year. Still as thes fanilies-and
there were nearly a thousand Of them
and an average membership Of over
six persons, and an average income,
all told, Of only 1856, the parents
would have been put to it to support
them without the earnings Of these
unmarried daughters. The family In
come of the silk workers averaged
1866 of which the girls over sixteen
brought in 1887: among the garment
makers the average income was $500,
with the girls contributing $317. Tho
cotton mill workers In New EnKl6nd
averaged $3.50 Of which the rirls con-
tributed $3.50 or not tar from half,
and the cotton " ,rkers Of tho. south
averaged 1922 Of which $31fsI came
from the working daughters. Among
