Dangerous work. Charlie McBride. Said twelve years old. This twelve year old boy has a steady job with the Miller and Vidor Lumber Company. He takes slabs out of the chute, which has a moving endless chain to carry the wood up the chute. He passes the slabs on to the other boy who saws them off on an unguarded circular saw. Charlie runs the saw himself whenever he gets the chance. He is exposed not only to the above dangers, but to the weather. No roof even. Has been here for some months. "Get four bits a day." (Fifty cents.) Works ten hours. This was the only mill that I found around Beaumont that employed boys. Likely because they are located some distance out of town.  Location: Beaumont, Texas.

Holding the door open while a trip[?] goes through. Willie Bryden, a nipper, 164 Center St. A lonely job. Waiting all alone in the dark for a trip to come through. It was so damp that Willie said he had to be doctoring all the time for his cough. A short distance from here, the gas was pouring into the mine so rapidly that it made a great torch when the foreman lit it. Willie had been working here for four months, 500 feet down the shaft, and a quarter of a mile underground from there. (Shaft #6 Pennsylvania Coal Co.) Walls have been whitewashed to make it lighter. January 16th, I found Willie at home sick, His mother admitted that he is only 13 yrs old; will be 14 next July. Said that 4 mos. ago the mine boss told the father to take Willie to work, and that they obtained the certificate from Squire Barrett. (The only thing the Squire could do was to make Willie out to be 16 yrs old.) Willie's father and brother are miners and the home is that of a frugal German family.  Location: Pittston, Pennsylvania.
