A 1909 article by Everett H. Lord on child labor in New England textile mills and Maine sardine canneries. It covers how children get around age limits, the lack of schooling and industrial training among young mill workers, and the near-absence of legal protection for children in Maine's canneries, including long hours, unguarded machinery and seasonal work. It is a social-reform text about the textile workforce and does not deal with weaving technique.
