Book Description

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Bureau of Labor, 1909, Vol. 18 The present acts apply in many respects to men in common with women and children, and are enforced equally in factories where only adult males are employed. Such provisions, especially those relating to sanitation, fire protection, and guarding dangerous machinery and processes, do not belong to our topic, though their benefit is per haps most felt by young persons and delicate female workers. The demands of health, comfort, and decency are as well considered in most British factories as in the homes of the operatives, and in many cases working surroundings are superior to those of the domestic circle.
