An abstract of a paper by Samuel McCune Lindsay on child labor in the United States in 1906. It outlines the child labor movement's three demands: no employment under age 14, no night work or dangerous work under 16, and employment certificates for ages 14 to 16. It also discusses reliance on state legislation, the pending Beveridge-Parsons federal bill, and closes with tables of 1880 and 1900 census statistics on children aged 10 to 15 in gainful occupations, by sex and by industry group.
