SMPLOYENT OF CHILDREN IN MANUFAC. TUBING ESTABLISHMENTS. Juvenile Slavery in Massachusette—Tho Hours of Toil and the Poor Wagee—The Compara tive Condition of the Manufacturing Classes of New England and Old England. Boston, April 30, 1869, It is a matter of common information that chil- Gren are more largely employed in manufacturing establishments in Massachusetts than in any other Section of the country, aud it is equally true, but not so gederally knowa, that thelr condition is little better than that of the juvenile negro population in the palmy and flourishing days of Southern slavery. Education, murality and Christianity have always been advertised as the chief products of the old Bay State, but there has always been an in- 4entional or accidental omission of less worthy characteristics of this Puritan land, While there is undoubtedly much to praise and admire in Massachusetts laws and customs 4t is nevertheless true that there is a very great deal to denounce, and it would seem to be well 1fsome.of the long-haired philanthropists would con- centrate their efforts upon needed reforms about home, rather than attempt to ameliorate the con- dition of the less deserving in distant localities. ‘The matier of the employment of children in manu- facturing establisiments is one in which there is an Opportunity for a wise referm, and the demands for it have been so numerous of iate that the last Legis- lature was forced to take some decided action, and in response tu a cartioad or more of petitions an iniuatory step was taken in the passage of a law forbidding the employment of any children less than ten years of age, and the employment of any between ten and fifteen unless they shall attend school three Months in the year, and none of these to be employed more than sixty hours per week—the penairy for violation being a fine of fifty dollars from the parents, guardians, or overseers of the eftablish- ment, To secure an enforcement of this law, or ascertain the possibility of enforcing It, Mr. Henry K. Oliver, Of Salem, was specially detailed as a State officer to examine into thé wanner in which children are em- ployed In the various manufacturing establishments dn the State, and a report which he has recently made to the Legislature 13 anything but corrovora- tive of the eminéhi character of Massachusetts, Mr. Oliver, in pursuance of accomplishing the work assigned "him, commenced a correspondence with the town clerks, assessors and deputy State con- stables throughout the State, and the following are @mong some of the principal facts resulting from that correspondeuce:— Number of towns in Massachusetts wns having estaviishments employing children, 0 such estavdshments.

The manufacturer wili pay his help as Little as possible, and keep them at work as closely a8 possible, and all he intends they shail “have is enough to feed them, to clothe them and to keep them in heart as long as he can profitabiy use tuem, and then, the supply having auswered tne demand, they may go their way, Certain parties are called tue great manufacturers of New England, and they have been eugaged as sucti for genera- tions; yet tie man or ine family that has been in their euwploy and come out of it Wil more than enough ior @ decent interment is yet to be found. Now when such a party begins work he buys a water ower, or if Le uses steam he seiccts a spot where ueip may be handy, and then quietly buys all we land in the vicinity, and as soon as he begins the very ioandation of his mill he staris what is called the siere, and everybody buys at the store, and it seems to be very handy, the siore does, and 80 it is, for it 1s helping the manufacturer to pat to his foundation and build his mill by the very money he paid his people for their work, and which tuey pay back to him for suppues at the store, with a good percentage of protit, and from being their asbior, they have, before they Know it, become his, And such as tiis 18 what the matter 18, and is the on luting Jever which lifts bim up by tue force of others’ muscles. Everybody at work in the ‘new city’ buys and must buy at tue store ail needed suppues, household and personal.
