The Slavery of Children

The prohibition of child labor generally reaches in its enforcement those not particularly needing it,—some strong boy or girl kept from school, perhaps, or entering some factory under age as an errand boy. Where it does not become effective, is in the great cities where it meets with the opposition of cannery trusts, and clothing trusts, and various other combinations which employ child labor. But the slavery of children ought to be stopped despite all the opposition.
