The Child Labor Bulletin published a story called The Story of My Cotton Dress in 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 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.
