Report of the Pennsylvania Child Labor Committee

The problem of girls between fourteen and sixteen, who are employed in stores and factories, is one which gives more and more anxiety to Wis- consin students of social problems.We hope that the hours of work for girls up to twenty-one may be shortened at the next session of the legislature, so that at the least some undesirable employments will be closed to them and that compelling their dismissal from work at an early hour may avoid some of the evils resulting, in part at least, from young girls leaving work at the same hour as the men do
