Report of the Committee on the Ten Hour System. CommonweaLtH oy Massacnuserts. Hover or Reraesenratives, March 12, 1845. The Special Committee, to which was referred sundry petitions relating to the hours of labor, have considered the same, and submit the following Rerorr. The first petition, which was referred to your Commit- ‘tee, came from the city of Lowell, and was signed by Mr. John Quincy Adams Thayer, and eight hnndred and fifty others, “* able, industrious, hard working men and women of Lowell.” The petitioners deciare thut they are confined “ from thirteen to fourteen hours per day in w Reet apartments,” axd are thereby “hastening, through iseare, and privation, down to a premature grave.” fore ask the Legislature “ to pass a law pro- viding that ten hours shail constitute a day’s work,” and that no corporation or private citizen “ shall be allowed, except in cases of emergency, to employ one set of hands more than tea hours per day.” ‘The second petition came from the town of Fall River, and is signed by John Gregory and four kundred and y-eight others. These petitioners ark for the passoge law to constitute “ten hours aday’s work in all rations created by the Legis!ature ” ‘he third petitio: ned by hundred others, citizens of Andover, same words as the one from Fall River. The fourth petition is trom Lowell, and is signed by Janes Carle and three hundred oth ‘The petitione: ask for the enactment of a law making ten hours a day ‘work, where no specific agreement is entered into between the parties.” The whole number of names on the several petitio: is 2.139, of which 1,161 are from Lowell. A very larg. Ripposyon of the Lowell petitioners are females.— early one half of the Andover petitioners are femaler. ny petition from Fall River is signed excluaively by es. in view of the number and respectability of the peti- tionera who had brought their grievances before the Le- gislature, the Committee esked for and obtained leave of the House to send for “persons and papers,” in order that they might enter into en exam: jon cf the matter, and report the result of their exa m to the Leg Te asa basis for legislative action, should any be deemed necessary On the 18th of February the Gommittee held a session to hear the petitioners from the city of Lowell. Six of the female and three of the male petitioners were present, and gave in their testimony. >The first petitioner who testified was Kuiza R. Hem mincway, She had worked two years and nine months in the Lowell Factories; two years in the Middlesex, and nine months in the Hamilton Corporations. Her em- ployment is weaving—works by the piece. The Hamil- ton Mill manufactures cotton fabrics. The Middlesex woolen fabrics. Sheis now at work in the Middlesex Mills, and attends one loom. Her wages average from $16 to $23 a month, exclusive of beard* She complain: ed of the hours for Jabor being too many, and the time for meals too limited. In the summer season, the work is commenced at 6 o'clock, A. M. and continued till 7 o'clock P.M., with half an hour for breakfast and three quarters of an hovrfordinner. During the eight months of the year but half an houris allowed for dinner. The air in the room she considered notto be wholesome. There were 298 swull lemps ond 61 lerge lamps lighted in the room in which she worked, when evening work is ree quired. These {lamps are alao lighted sometimes in the morning. About 130 females, 11 men, and 12children (between the wgos of 11 and 14) work in the room with her. Shejthought the children enjo good health as cnildren generally do. The children wo) but 9 months out of 12. The other 3 months they must attend school. Thinks that there is noday when there are less than six of the females out of the mill from sick- ness. Has known as many as thirty. She, herself, is out uite often on account of sickness. There was more sickness in the summer then in the winter months ; though in the summer lamps are not lighted. She thought there was a general desire among the females to work but ten hours, regardless of pay. Most of the girls are from the country who work in the Lowell Mills. The average time which they remain there is about three years. She knew one girl who hed worked there 14 years. Her health was poor when she left. Miss Hemmingway said her health was better where she now worked than it-was when she worked cnthe Hamilton Corporation. She knew of one girl who last winter we.t into the mill at half past 4 o'clock, A. M,, and worked till half past 7 o’cloek, P M. Sie did so to make more money. She earned from $25 to $30 per month. There is alwa: large number of girls at the gate wishing to get in before the bell rings. (mm the Middlesex Corporation one fourth part of the f»males go into the mill beforethey sre obliged to. They do thistomake more wages. A large number come to Lowell to make money to aid their parents who sre poor.

She thinks the health of the operativ is not so good as the health of females who do housewo: ilinery business. The chief evil, so fer as health is concerned, is the shortness of time allowed for mea! The next evil isthe length of time employed—not giving them tims to cultivate their minds. She spoke of the high moral and intellectual tharacter of the girls. That many were engaged asteachers in the Sunday schools. That be thee er the lectures of the Lowell Institnto, and she thought, if more time was allowed, that more lectures would be given and more girls attend.

The Leat of the room varios from 62 to 63 degrees, During our short stay in Lowell, we gathered many facts, which we deem of sutticient importance to state in this report; and ficst, in relation to the Houns or Lanon. From Mr. Clark, the agent of the Merrimack Corpora- tion, we obtained the following table of the time which the mills run during. the year :— Begin Work —F rong ist May to 3let Aug at5 o'clock. From let September to 30:h April, as soon as they can see, From lat November to 28th February, before From 1st March to 3ist March, at 74 From let April to 10th September, at seven From 20th September to 3ist October, at 74 Retur {an hour. is ‘hrough the year at 124 o’clock.

From "20th September to 19th March, at 7} o'clock. }rem 20'h March to 80th April, at dark. i Lamps are never lighted on Saturday evenings. The above is the time which is kept in all the mills in Lowell, with a slight difference in the machine shep; and it ‘makes the average daily time, throughout the year, ofrunning the mills, to be twelve hours and ten minuter. i‘ There are four days in the year which are observed as holidays, and cn which the mills are never put in mo- tion. These are Fast Day, Fourth of July, Than giving Day, avd Christmas Day. These make one day more than is usually devoted to pastime in any other placein New England. The following table shows the average hours of work per day, throughout the year, in the Lowell Mills :— Howes, a From Ist From lst Hours. Min. January 12 45 February Mach* June. In Great Britain, the hours of labor per week are limit- ed by act of Parliament to 69, or 114 houra per day, but the }general regulation in all the factories is 9 hourson Saturday and 12 hours on each et the other five working days. It isalso enacted thatthere shall be six holidays im the course of the year. It is hardly possible to draw a comparison between the operativesin Great Britain and those in Lowell. The one is amanufecturing population, in the strict sense of the word, the other is not. There,the whole family go into the mills as soon they have sufficient bodily trength toearnapenny. They never come out until they die. Very little attention is paid to their moral or phy tos! culture, and, as has been proved by facts ascer- ained by commissioners appointed by Parliament, few can read or write, and unless they have attended Sabbath schools, few obtain any knowledge of the Bible or of the Christian religian. In Lowell, but very few (in some mills none at all) enter into the factories under the.age of fifteen. None under that age can be admitted, unless they ee a certificate from the school teacher, that he orshe has attended school at least three months during the pre- ceding twelve; Nine tenths of the factory population in Lowell come from the country. They are farmers’ daughters. Many of them come over a hundred mi to enter the mills. Their education hes been attended to in the district schools, which are dotted like diamonds over every square mile of New England. Their moral and religious characters have been formed by pious parents, under the paternal roof. Their bodies have been developed and their constitutions made strong by the pure air, wholesome food, and youthful exercis After un absenceof a few years, having laid by 2 fow hundred dollars, they depart for their homes, get married, settle down in life, and become the heads of families.— Such, we believe, intruth, to be a correct statement of the Lowell operatives, and of the hours of labo: Genenat Heatn oF THE Oretatives. : In regard to the health of the operatives employed in the mills, your Committee believe it to be good. Thetes- timony of the female petitioners does not controvert this position, in general, though it does in particular ces The population of the city of Lowell is now rising 26,000, of which number about 7,000 are females employ- ed in the mills, It isthe opinion of Dr. Kimball, an emi nent physician of Lowell, with whom the Committee had aninterview, that there is less sickness among the per- sons et work in the mills, thaa there is among those who do not work in the mills; and that there is lese sickness now than there was several years ago, when the number at present. ‘we understood to be also the opinion of the city physician, Dr. Wells, from whose published report for the present pect, welearn that the whole uumber of deaths in Lowell, during the year 1844, was 362, of which number 200 wero children under ten years o: age. The following table shows tho comparative mortality in Lowell eerine se past five years, enumerating some of the principal diseases :— Diseases. 18401811 1431844 40 54 RB 7 Total mortality each year. 426 ition of Lowell, in May, 1940, was 7,341 ™ 3,740 females—total, 21,031. ‘The population in May, 1@44, was 7,432 meles, 7 temales—total, 63 incrense of population in four years, 4,192. Notwithst ing this increase of population, the number of deaths has decreased. There being fewer the pzst year than in eny ofthe four | een years, and 64 less in 1844 than io 1940. Yet, during the past year, the mills have been in more active operation than during either of the four years preceding. The decrease in the mortality of Low- ell, Dr. Wells attributes, in part, to “the enlightened policy ofthe city government, in directing the construc. tion of common tewers, and the enterprise of individuals, in multiplying comfortable habitstions, the establish ment of a hospital, supported by the liberality of the eor- perations, for the accommodation of the sick in their em- ploy. The more general diffusion of a knowledge of the iaws of health, is also conducive to th ‘The petitioners thought that the ments made by our city physician, as tothe number of deaths, were de- lusive, inaamuc! many of the females when taken sick in Lowell, do not stay there, but return to their homes in the country and die. Dr. Kimball thought that the num- ber who return home when d wi small. Mr. Cooper whose tectim who is a gentleman cf great experience, say: known but one girl who, during the last eight years, went home from Luwell ond died. We have no doub', however, that many of the operatives do leave Lowell and return to their homes when their health is feeble, but the proportion is not large. Certainly it has created no alarm, for the sisters and acquaintances of those who have gone home return to Lowell to supply the vacancies which their absence had create 1. Inthe year 1841, Mr. French, the ogent of the Boott mills, adopted a mode of ascertcining from the females employed in that mill the effeet which factory labor bad upon fheir health. The questions which he put wer “What is your age ?” ‘How long have you worked in a cotton mill 7” “la your health as goctl as before 7” These questions were addressed to every female in No. 2, Boott Mill.” The committee have the names of the females interrogated, and the answers which they return ed, and the result is 28 follow: Lyer or Gints in Boott Mis.

In addition to which we have been permitted to copy the following memoranda, kept by John Clark, Esq., agent of the Merrimack Mills :— May 6th, 1841. “I haveascertained, by inquiries this day, that 124 of the females now at work in the Merri- mack Mills have heretofore taught school; and that in addition 26 or 30 have left within the last 30 da; gege their scheols for the sur ir, making in all 150 or more. | also find,} by inquiries at our boarding houses, that 290 of our giris attended school during the evenings of the last wiater.” 1842. —“We hi his day in oor five mills cluding sweepers, and other day bands, who their names; of this number, 30 are Irish.

We wii: state, howeyer, in this connection, that the evidenc which we obtained from gentlemen connected with the .owell Mills all goes to prove thet the morein- telligent and moral the operatives are, the more valuable they are to the employers, and the greater will be the amount of their earnings. Your Committee have not been abl tioners from the other towns in this State a believed that the whole cese was covered by the petition from Lowell, and to that petition we have given our un- divided attention, and we have come to conch unanimously, that legislation is not necessary at the pre- sent time, and for the following reasons ist. That a law limiting the hours of labor, if enacted at ail, should be of a general nature. That it should ply to individuals or copartnerships as well as to corpora- tions Because, if it is wrong to labor more then ten hours in a corporation, it is also wrong when applied te individual employers, and your committee are not aware that more complaint can justly be made ogainst incorpo- rated companies in regard to the hours of labor, then can be against individuals or co-partnerships. But it will be said in reply to this, that corporations are the creatures of the Legislature; and, therefore, the Legislature can centro] them in this, as in other maiter. This to a certain extent is true, but your committee go farther than this, and say, thet not only Ibhines mi tions subject to the control of the Legislature but individ- uals are also, end if it aould ever appear that the publie morals, the physical condition, or the social well-being of society were endangered, from this causeor from any cause, then it would be in the power and it would be the duty ofthe Legislature to interpose its prerogative to avert the evil. 2d. Your committee believe that the factory Kober Beg it is called, is not more injurious to health than other kinds of indoor labor. That a law which would compel all of the factories in Massachusetts to run their machine- ry but 10 hours out of the 24, while those in Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and other States in the Unien, were not restricted at all, the effect would be to close the gate of every mill in the State. 1t would be the same as closi It di ery week, and although h and, if needs be, with European nations, yet it is easy to perceive that we could not compete with our sister States, much less with foreign countries, if a restriction of this nature was put upon our manufactorie 3d_It would be imporsible to legislate to restrict the hours of labor, without affecting very materially the ques- tion of wages ; and that is a matter which experience has taught uscen be much better regulated by the parties themselves than by the Legislature. Labor in Messaehu- very diferent commodity from what it is in for- countries. Here labor is on an equality with eapital, and indeed controls it, and so it ever willbe while free education and free institutions exist. And poemy oo we may find fault, and say that labor works too many hours, oni labor is too severely tasked, yet if we attempt by le- gislstion to enter within its orbit, and imterfere with its plans,we will be told to keep clear and mind our own busi- ness. Laber is intelligent enough to make its own bar- gains, and look out for its own interests without any in- terference from ua ; and your Committee want no better proot to convince them that Massachusetts men and Mas- sachusetts women, equal to this, and will teke care of themselves better than we can take care of them, than we had from the intelligent and virtuous men end women who sppeared in support of this petition, before the Com- mittee. 4th. The Committee do not wishto be understood as conveying the impression, that there areno ses in th present system of labor; we thing there think that many improvements may be made, and lieve will be made, by which labor will not be severel; tasked os it now ‘We think that it would be better the hours for labor were less—if more time was allewed for meals, if more attention was paid to ventilation and pure air in our manufactories and work shops, and many other mattere. We acknowledge all this, but we say the remedy is not with us. We look for it in the progressive improvement in art and science, in a higher appreciation of man’s destiny, in a less love for money, and amore ar- dent love for social happiness and intellectual superiori- ty. Your Committee, therefore, while they agree with the petitioners in their desire to lessen the burthens im- posed upon labor, differ only asto the means by which these burthens are sought to be removed.
