General Utility Boy in Miller & Vidor Saw-mill. 14 years old (he said). Part of the time he throws slabs into the chute that has chain carrying them to the mill. I saw him helping a man around moving and unprotected machinery. Everything in the mill is unguarded. No place for boys. Said he works only on Saturdays now, gets $1.00 a day. Made $25 a month here last summer.  Location: Beaumont, Texas.

General Utility Boy at Lutcher & Moore Lumber Co. "I'm fourteen years old; been here one year. Get $1.00 a day." He runs errands and helps around. I saw him pushing some of these empty cars. Exposed to the weather and some danger. In the saw mill and planing mill of this company I saw several boys who might be under fifteen.  Location: Orange, Texas.
