Noon-hour, Indian Head Mills. All are workers. The very youngest refused to be photo'd. The Supt. seemed worried about my photographing the workers. He said, "Now we observe the child labor law thoroughly, but there are lots of persons in the North who like nothing better than a chance to rap at the Southern Cotton Mills."

Noon hour at Massachusetts Mill, Lindale Ga. During the days following this, I proved the ages of nearly a dozen of these children, by gaining access to Family Records, Life Insurance papers, and through conversations with the children and parents, and found these that I could prove to be working now, or during the past year at 10 and 11 years of age, some of them having begun before they were ten. Further search would reveal dozens more. (See Hine Report). Location: Lindale, Georgia

Group of boys who work in Suncock (N. H.) Mills. It is a large corporation, employing 1200 hands, but in all the three mills, I found only 1 girl and three boys that seemed to be under 14. Unusual conditions for a large N.H. Mill. Sanitary conditions here are exceptionally good, for this section. I investigated all three mills freely and was unknown and usually unattended by anyone. Location: Suncock, New Hampshire.
