A pamphlet from the Alabama committee on child labor cites a 270 percent rise in under 16 workers in Southern cotton mills through the decade ending in 1100. It notes 8000 of 45000 North Carolina textile workers are under 14, with wages as low as 9 to 29 cents daily.

It calls public sentiment to place responsibility on those exploiting childhood labor.
