A three-page protest poem, "The Cotton Mill," by Ernest Crosby, condemning child labor in cotton mills. It describes children working night shifts, injured by machinery and sickened by cotton dust, and attacks mill owners, lawmakers, and the profit-driven trade system. It is social and literary commentary, with no technical weaving content.
