In 1832, the British Parliament appointed a committee to investigate conditions in textile factories. The excerpt below is from the testimony of Elizabeth Bentley. What age are you? Twenty-three. What time did you begin to work at a factory? When I was six years old. What were your hours of working in that mill? From 5 in the morning till 9 at night. What time was allowed for your meals? Forty minutes at noon. Had you any time to get your breakfast or drinking? No, we got it as we could. What was your business in that mill? I was a little doffer. Explain what it is you had to do. When the frames are full, we have to stop the frames, and take the flyers off, and take the fullbobbins off, and carry them to the roller; and then put empty ones on, and set the frame going again. Do you consider doffing laborious [hard] work? Yes. Does that keep you constantly on your feet? Yes, there are so many frames, and they run so quick. Suppose you flagged [slowed down] a little, or were too late, what would they do? Strap [whip] us. Are they in the habit of strapping those who are last in doffing? Yes. Constantly? Yes. Girls as well as boys? Yes. Have you ever been strapped? Yes. In 1877, the Labor Standard magazine described a breaker room at a Pennsylvania coal mine, where “breaker boys” separated slate from coal. These little fellows go to work in this cold dreary room at seven o'clock in the morning and work till it is too dark to see any longer. For this they get $1 to $3 a week. Not three boys in this roomful could read or write. Shut in from everything that is pleasant, with no chance to learn ... grinding their little lives away in this dusty room, they are no more than the wire screens that separate the great lumps of coal from the small. They had no games; when their day’s work is done, they are too tired for that. They know nothing but the difference between slate and coal.
