A group of shrimp pickers in Peerless Oyster Co., working during the short noon recess.

Some of the shrimp-pickers working at the Biloxi Canning Co. Within an hour I obtained the following names, and photos taken at the factory, and at home, all working here: Two Children of five years. One of seven years. Two of eight years. One of nine. Two of ten. Two of eleven (one had been working at this factory two years). Three of twelve, (one working here 4 years and one two years). I do not believe this is a complete list of the youngsters. Location: Biloxi, Mississippi.

Shrimp-pickers in Peerless Oyster Co. Photo taken just as they stood. On other side of the shed, still younger children were working. Out of sixty working (only half were there) I counted fifteen apparently under twelve years old. Some three, four, and five years old were picking too. Parents acknowledged ages and fact that they worked some. Boss said they went to work at 3:00 A.M., and would quit about 3 or 4 P.M. Location: Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
