Lewis Hine
Lewis Hine The Child labor reform movement relied heavily on emotion to get the support of “the people” behind them. They used Lewis Hine’s photographs and stories about children. The Child Labor Bulletin published a story called The Story of My Cotton Dress in 1914. In it were pictures and a story about a young girl who is visiting a textile mill. She ends her story by saying, “If only everybody cared, and would not buy things that the children make, the factory men would give the work to the fathers and not to the children.” (The entire story can be found at http://history.osu.edu/Projects/ChildLabor/CottonDress/.) Then once people wanted to help these children, the continued to work towards getting a national law that required a certain age for children before they could work. Just like the women’s suffrage movement, it took a long time for this law to be passed. It was finally passed in 1934 with the Walsh-Hearly Act.
