The article presents discussions on various topics. The purpose of a recent survey, by the U.S. Department of Labor, of the oyster and shrimp-canning industries, however, was only partly to consider adults. Five hundred and forty-four children under sixteen years of age were included in the study; they worked in the canneries the same hours as a general thing, under the same conditions, were subjected to the same hazards, and received the same pay as the adults. Two of the children were under six years old; 322 were between six and fourteen. Of the children employed two-thirds earned less than U.S. $5 a week.
