The Colliery System and Child Labour Abuses Exposed
The official report details brutal mining conditions in West Riding and other districts. It cites young workers, including girls as young as 15, pushed to extreme weights and hours, with evidence of harsh punishment by butties. It contrasts harsher treatment in Halifax and Derbyshire with relatively better care in Southport and Bradford Leeds districts, and condemns long shifts, night work, and the perilous labor of young children in coal mines.
