A short 1904 magazine piece from the 'Highways and Byways' section of Cosmopolitan on child labor in the United States, especially in Southern cotton mills. It reports that about twenty thousand children under fourteen worked in those mills, and that mill-owners, including New England investors, resisted legislation. It also notes violations of age laws in the East and in New Jersey glass factories, and reports that the General Federation of Women's Clubs resolved to campaign for stronger laws and better enforcement.
