SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY, No. i.
COMPILED BY MADELEINE W. MILNER. WOMAN AND CHILD LABOR.
Child labor has been the cause of much discussion and legislation abroad, but it was not until the census of 1870 called attention to its existence in the United States that any public notice was given to the subject in our own country.
This bibliography is confined to the United States to aid the investigator by separating the very meager American literature of the subject from the large mass of English and foreign publications.
The compiler soon discovered that the larger and by far the most valuable pan of the material was contained in the reports of the labor bureaus and factory inspectors of the different states.
In addition to these, references found in periodicals and in a few books have been given.
No attempt has been made to refer to the brief mention of the subject found in the general books on the labor question.
The references found in the Analysis and index of all reports issued by bureaus of labor in the United States prior to November 1892, the third special report of the Un<ted States department of labor, were taken as a basis foi the work, and brought down to date whenever practicable.
The list cannot claim to be complete, even in its very limited range, as it was impossible to obtain access to some of the most valuable reports.
The mine inspectors' reports and the State Census would, doubtless, contain material, but they were not accessible.
