F. LETTON HOTEL COMPANY THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS. GA., AUGUST 28TH., 1915. 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.” A CHILDS CREED t BELIEVE IN BEING HAPPY I BELIEVE IN BEING BUSY I BELIEVE IN BEING A BOY BYEN-BYE - I'LL BE A MAN W GIVE US A CHANGE!
