500 CHILDREN TO 1
, WAIT ON YOU
Much That You Wear and Eat
Passes Through Their Hands.
EXHIBIT VISITOR IS AMAZED.
“Why should I be Interested in the
working child?" asked a self com
placent lady who called at the chitd
labor exhibit In San Francisco the
other day.
“Because it touches you at so msny
points," replied the National Ohild
Labor Committee's exhibit director.
Lewis W. Hlne. “To begin with, the
flowers on your hat were undoubtedly
made In a New York tenement, no
matter what you paid for them. I
have found four-year-old children work
ing on such flowers.
“The ‘real’ imported Irish point lace
you have on your collar was probably
made by Italians on the east side of
Photo by National Child Committee.
A. WOVEN-YEAR-OLD OYSTER SHUCKER WHO
CAM NEITHER READ NOR WRITE
Now York. Your gloves and the but
tons ou your dress probably passed
through the hands of children. The.
scalloped edge around your underwear
was made by children in New Eng
land village homes, and your stock
ings represent the labor of children
from eight years of age up.
"The cotton that goes into the cloth
you use may have been picked by chil
dren of five or six and was handled by
innumerable children in the course of
manufacture. A spool of cotton thread
represents the work of from live to
twenty-five children.
“As you pass ou to the market to
buy your food a small boy waits on
you. He represents not only your local
child labor problem, but indirectly the
problem of the little girl who picked
your cranberries and your straw
berries. Even the baskets that the
berries come in represent the work of
children. The oysters that you have
sent home from the shop were very
likely dredged by boys from eight to
ten up to young manhood. Some were
shucked by little ones of seven or
eight. The sardines you eat may have
been imported or they may have come
from the coast of Maine, where chil
dren do much of the cutting and can
ning. Canned peas represent child la
bor in sorting, picking and canning.
“The coal you burn at home and the
glassware you use probably passed
through the hands of children. The
drugs delivered to you are ofteri
brought by a boy who may have coipe
to your house direct from the red light
district. The little newsboy, the
‘shines' boys, the boy who sets up pins
in the bowling alley and the young
usher at the movie all need your pro
tection.”
The lady gasped and begged Mr.
nine to stop. “Well," be said, “if I
went into it EXHAUSTIVELY T think
I could find that about 500 children
bad contributed to your comfort in one
way or another.”
