These were all the young children I could get at the Athens Hosiery Mill at noon. And at 9 A.M., although when I went through the mill at 7 A.M. alone Dec. 9th, I saw six little girls industriously at work standing on boxes so they could reach and helping their mothers and sisters. They appeared to be about 5 and 7 years old. (See report.) Location: Athens, Tennessee.
