| Some of the spinners in Pell City Cotton Mill, grouped for me
by the overseer. Mr. E. A. Thompson, Supt. of the Mill, is also
mayor of Pell City. Pell City, Ala., 11/22/1910 |

| These all work in Cleveland Hosiery Mills. The very youngest
one (with curls) said, "I ravels and picks up." Small
boy in another mill said, "Over in Cleveland, they work em
so little, they have to stand em on boxes to reach." Children
here and in the hosiery mills generally seemed better dressed
and in better condition than in spinning mills. Cleveland, Tenn.,

| Group of newsies selling on capitol steps. Dan, a chronic truant,
9 years old. Joseph, 10 years old, begins selling at 5:30 A.M.

| In comparison with governmental affairs, newsies are small matters.
This photo was taken in the shadow where the laws are made. This
group of young newsboys sell on the Capitol grounds everyday,
ages 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, the only boy with a badge was 8 years old.
