Abstract:
The state's growing textile industry in the late 19th century demanded a larger workforce, with many filled by women and children. By 1887, a commissioner from the State Bureau of Labor Statistics began gathering data about child labor first by questionnaires sent to mill officials and later by more invasive investigations. The article covers the labor bureau's efforts to legislate child labor and the general conditions for children, especially those forced to work in the textile industry.
