October 1913. "Scene on the farm of S.N. Whiteside, near Waxahachie, Texas. Children come out here from the town to pick cotton, outside of school hours. Ages range from 4 and 6 years (ages of the two youngest boys who pick regularly) up to 15 and more. Two adults." Glass negative by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. I made 50 centsI did that once in my early days. Picked cotton by hand dragging a cotton sack that is. I think it was 4 hours worth of work. ANY work is preferable to hand-picking cotton. Those ladies are the smart ones. They have their hands wrapped. Those cotton boles are tough and sharp! Life by the poundI lived with an uncle in South Carolina for a couple of years back in the mid-fifties. He was a farmer, among other things, and he grew a fair amount of cotton. He contracted with several black families to pick the cotton by hand. Each families total was weighed at the end of the day and they were paid by the pound. There were a number of times that I and my two older cousins were "drafted" to fill in for sick workers. That field work, under the hot summer sun, is pure drudgery. I think my uncle made us do that to teach us what real work was and to inspire us to get an education so we wouldn't have to work that hard. Your cotton-picken' handsAs stated by commenter Randy the cotton bolls were very sharp and cut ones' tender fingers easily but if a picker got blood on the cotton, the buyers did not want it. Hard to believe that everybody who picked did not wear sturdy gloves, but especially children who had not developed thick calluses to toughen up their skin. I believe it is all done by machinery these days. Parents did thisMy parents did this as kids in the early 1940s in the San Joaquin Valley of California. They moved out from Oklahoma. I had an African-American coworker who called my a liar when I said my parents picked cotton. He wouldn't believe a white person did that sort of work (never mind he was raised in Los Angeles and the closest he came to cotton were balls at the drug store). It wasn't until another coworker who's parents were "Okies" and did this too spoke up for me did he believe us. (The Gallery, Agriculture, Kids, Lewis Hine)

February 1912. "Tiny, a seven-year-old oyster shucker (sister of Henry, No. 3291), does not go to school. Works steady. Been at it one year. Maggioni Canning Co. Port Royal, South Carolina." Photograph by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. I've consumed many an oysterBut have shucked nary a one. Still, judging from the heavy gloves sturdy adults use when performing that task, I am surprised that this poor little waif has any hands left. I presume, of course, that she hadn't a tiny pair of work gloves, given her obvious place in the socio-economic hierarchy of Port Royal. Child LaborPoor kid already looks like someone's grandma. The other side of seafoodNo idea what it's like today, but I saw a lot of how the seafood industry worked in Florida in the mid-1960s. My dad, for a couple of years, was manager of what was at that time the largest seafood company in the U.S. To teach me the value of an education, he arranged for me to work at one of the plants in Marathon, Florida, that "processed" fresh mackerel. Beheading, gutting, and rinsing the fish and putting them into a wire basket was the task when the fishing boats came in, and that began at four in the morning. It took 11 cleaned fish to fill the wire basket, and you got 25 cents a basket. I was supposed to do that for a week; one day was all I could manage and I'll never forget it. Later, when living in Apalachicola, Florida, I'd go down to the packing plants where older black women shucked oysters. These women were so skilled it was almost beyond belief, and they had worked together so long that it seemed like a social event as they joked and sang and teased each other. That proved, to me, their tough spirit and great skill. The work was not only not fun but tedious and dangerous; handling those peculiar stiff-bladed oyster knives was not something you did without paying attention. I did admire those women so and was proud they accepted me as a friend. I think a bit misleadingI shucked oysters as a thirteen yo female in my family's restaurant in Louisiana. The leverage it takes to break the hinge on the oyster would be beyond her ability, I would say, but who knows. I would think her job would have been to break apart the clusters of oysters with a hammer to separate them for the shuckers. [Not misleading. They used knives. She was one of hundreds. - Dave] (The Gallery, Kids, Lewis Hine)

May 1910. Wilmington, Delaware. "William Gross, 516 Tatnall Street. Newsboy, 15 years of age. Selling papers 5 years. Average earnings 50 cents per week. Father, carpenter, $18 week. Selling newspapers own choice, to get money to go to moving picture shows. Visits saloons. Smokes sometimes. "Serves papers" to prostitutes. On May 25 William gave to investigator a list of houses of prostitution written in his own handwriting, to which he serves papers. He also tells a story of occasionally guiding strangers to these houses, for which he receives from 15 cents to a quarter." Photograph by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. The faces, part 2Quote: Maybe a little more hardship would do us some good. Can't say I agree with that part of the previous post. "Today's youth" may have problems, like everyone else, but no 15 year old boy should look that sad and exhausted with life. On the other hand, I do agree that the faces are mesmerizing. The facesI have just been mezmerized by the faces of the children presented in the photos on this fantastic site. Every face tells a different story. These faces seem so different from those of kids today -- so much more hardship witnessed and parteken of. We Americans have become so soft and live lives of such luxury compared with the average person even 60 years ago. Maybe a little more hardship would do us some good. Not too brightImagine, snitching on some of your best customers, plus tips, for a lousy 50c a week job? There must have been a substantial reward for turning in prostitutes in those days to do something that stupid. Today he could have built up a promising career in Washington.

January 1912. Fall River, Mass. "In this group are some of the youngest workers in Spinning Room of Cornell Mill. The smallest is Jo Benevidos, 5 Merion Street. Other small ones are: John Sousa, 84 Boutwell St.; Anthony Valentin, 203 Pitman St.; Manuel Perry, 124 Everett St.; John Travaresm [Taveresm?], 90 Cash St. The difficulty they had in writing their names was pathetic. When I asked the second hand in charge of the room to let the boys go outside a moment and let me get a snap-shot, he objected, saying they would stay out and not be in shape to work. When they carry dinners, they breathe the close air of the spinning room from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with no let-up." Photo by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. (The Gallery, Factories, Lewis Hine)

Battle of the MarneAll the Doughboy hospital pictures we've been seeing took place during the last of the German Spring Offensives, the first time that US soldiers engaged in major combat activity (not counting the black division handed over to the French). Up until that time they were assigned to quiet parts of the trenches to familiarize them with WWI combat conditions. The battles the that US soldiers took part in, usually as division level rotations in and out the the line, were Chateau Thierry, the Battle of the Marne, and Belleau Wood. It wasn't until last few months of the war, first with the elimination of the St. Mihiel salient, and then the final Battle of the Argonne, that the US participated at the full army level under full control of General Pershing. 1918 Red Cross Comfort Bags containedOne tube toothpaste, one toothbrush, one cake soap, three shirt studs, one spool black thread, one spool white thread, one package needles, one thimble, six clothes buttons, 16 pins, four safety pins, one handkerchief, one pipe, one pencil, one pad paper, six envelopes. I was slightly surprised at the lack of tobacco or cigarettes. (The Gallery, ANRC, Lewis Hine, Medicine, WWI)

November 1913. Orange, Texas. "General Utility Boy at Lutcher & Moore Lumber. 'I'm 14 years old; been here one year. Get $1 a day.' He runs errands and helps around. I saw him pushing some of these empty cars. Exposed to the weather and some danger. In the sawmill and planing mill I saw several boys who might be under 15." Photo and caption by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. A dollar a day$1 a day sounds terrible to modern ears, but it had considerable buying power at the turn of the last century. My CPI calculator only goes back to 1913, and even then $1 had the buying power of $24 today, so in 1903 it was probably a few dollars more. Not bad for a kid in those times. More on Pulling Slabs I was 19 and working my way through college in Southern Illinois and worked at a lumber yard for over 2 years. The worst job I had was to unload a full boxcar of various length and width boards. I "rode the forks"(of the fork truck)up to the top of the load, which was only 3' from the top of the inside of the car and was, in Summer, around a furnace in temp. Each board had to be passed out to the waiting forks, and then sorted by length and width on the ground. It took two of us 10-14 days to do a car. But, I was 19 and not 14. I made $1.40/hr, and at least back then one could still work their way through college. And, I had mostly much better jobs at the yard, like waiting on customers and then driving delivery. Regardless, I tip my hat to that tough little 14 y/o. I hope he found other opportunities in this industry along the way. Pulling slabsMy late father used to tell the story about his days as a teenager working in a sawmill in the hot Florida woods before he got drafted into WW2. "Pulling slabs" was the hardest most miserable job he ever had before or since. At the time he was on his high school football team and was 6 feet and 210 pounds and a pretty tough guy (he thought). But that job broke him and he quit after a week. He said he was actually glad to see the letter from Uncle Sam. A Dollar a Day is How Much?To put this into some sort of perspective this 14 year old was paid $1 a day. Presumably he's working a full day, because that's what kids did in those days. And that that day wasn't your namby pamby eight hour day in a forty hour work week. it was more than likely a twelve hour day or more. So what rivlax's $24 today (actually according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics says it's $23.27) is pretty close to $2 an hour. Or to convert it back to the wages of the time (because the kid wasn't getting modern wages he was getting wages of the period) the kid is getting paid $.083 and hour. Yes just a fraction over 8 CENTS an hour. Not good for anyone at any time. Groovy Wheels?The wheelsets have outside flanges. Isn't this kind of unusual or are the wheels double flanged (grooved)? The Shadow KnowsRe: Groovy wheels Those look like standard wheels to me. The shadows are falling in such a way as to seem like flanges over the track. (Notice where the boy's shadow is.) That plus the usual lensatic effects of these large format cameras. The wheel on the rightmost cart is easier to judge by. (The Gallery, Kids, Lewis Hine, Railroads)

        The incorrigibly industrious Eugene Dalton 100 years ago -- we last saw him in 2007, in the second photo ever posted on Shorpy. November 1913. Fort Worth, Texas. "Some results of messenger and newsboy work. For nine years this 16-year-old boy has been newsboy and messenger for drug stores and telegraph companies. He was recently brought before the Judge of the Juvenile Court for incorrigibility at home. Is now out on parole, and was working again for drug company when he got a job carrying grips in the Union Depot. He is on the job from 6 A.M. to 11 P.M. (seventeen hours a day) for seven days in the week. His mother and the Judge think he uses cocaine, and yet they let him put in these long hours every day. He told me 'There ain't a house in "The Acre" [Red Light] that I ain't been in. At the drug store, all my deliveries were down there.' Says he makes from $15 to $18 a week. Eugene Dalton." Photograph by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. If you're going to do cocaine, marry a nurse.His draft notice says he served honorably in WWI and in 1927 he married Kathryn Brown, an R.N. Couldn't find his obit, and there's no information available on whether his two children were incorrigible, but it probably would have been poetic justice. http://records.ancestry.com/Eugene_Trice_Dalton_records.ashx?pid=1924015... Happy wife, happy lifeI hope he and Kathryn were able to manage a somewhat normal life after Eugene's awful teenaged years. Doesn't sound like he enjoyed much of a childhood and WW1 wasn't exactly a walk in the park for anyone. Eugene Dalton, the second generationOnce again the 1940 Census logs come in handy. That year, Eugene was living with Katherine in Laramie, Wyoming, where he worked as a fireman for a steam railroad company. They had two children: 11-year-old Daniel Wesley Dalton and 10-year-old David Livingston Dalton. As for whether those children were incorrigible, be aware that in the Fort Logan National Military Cemetery in Colorado, there lies a former U.S. Marine named Daniel Wesley Dalton whose birth year and state matches that of Eugene's oldest son. He lived until 1979. (The Gallery, Lewis Hine)

December 1908. Newton, North Carolina. "Catawba Cotton Mill doffer and spooler." Glass negative by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. Child laborMy mother grew up in Georgia and as an 8yr old worked in a cotton mill, not sure where it was but it was very common back then in the late teen's early 1920's. A familiar sceneI pushed around one of those buggies in the spooler room at Milliken's Pacolet Mill (Pacolet, SC) in the summer of 1978. It was considered the second-lowest job in the mill, only out-ranking floor sweepers. It was my summer job between high school graduation and starting college, earning some spending money for the next year. Ten and twelve hour shifts were the norm. Humidity was kept high by spraying water in the air so that threads ran better and there was no air conditioning. I have never sweated so much in my life. My family made all of us work at least one summer in the cotton mill so that we would appreciate the value of our education. It must have worked, since we all went on to graduate school. I went on to get a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics - I wasn't going to work in that damned mill. My entire family on my mother's side were lint-heads, with my grandmother working 50 years in the mill two blocks away from her house in the mill village. Now, much of this region of the Carolinas outside of larger cities is still economically devastated by the death of the textile industry. Most of the shuttered mills have either been burned down by arsonists or dismantled for the valuable wood and brick. My hometown, which was heavily dependent on the textile industry, now has about 20% smaller population than in 1900 and parts of it would give Detroit competition for ruin porn. I always think of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics in My Hometown when I go back: Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back To your hometown. I really thank my parents for making sure I escaped. My grandmother's great ambitionMy grandmother never told me much about her life, but one thing she did tell me was how she managed to get off the cotton mill floor and into the offices. As far as she was concerned this was her biggest achievement, even more than marrying a mill manager's son. (The Gallery, Kids, Lewis Hine)

Oil painting on canvas by Marek Pękacz of Lewis Wickes Hine photos of "Newsies at Skeeter's Branch, Jefferson near Franklin, St. Louis." From the artist: "With my painting I would like to make the photo vivid in colours, enliven the boys and eternalise their dreams. Think about the childhood that they hadn't experienced. Take into consideration those children, who now only a few hours flight from here, suffer anguish because of greed and profit. "Child's labour is constantly common in many parts of the world, according to statistics by UNICEF, there are around 150,000,000 working children in 2019. "Watching the black and white photo of Lewis Hine, I saw young boys in men's poses, smoking cigarettes, full of dreams, fighting hunger and poverty every day. "I wanted to revive these boys and immortalize their dreams." (Colorized Photos)
