A 1909 article by Lewis W. Parker, a South Carolina cotton mill owner, defending conditions in southern cotton mills against critics. He argues that the character of mill workers is improving and that child labor is declining as adult workers prove more economical, citing other observers. He also describes manufacturers' support for compulsory school laws and for restrictions on night work by children in South Carolina. It is reprinted from a child labor debater's handbook.
