Eye-Opening Photos Reveal Child Workers' Lives in 1911 …
"Two young carrying-in boys in Alexandria Glass Factory. Frank Clark (on left) 702 N. Patrick St., could neither read nor write, having been to school only a few weeks in his life. Frank is working on night shift this week. Ashby Corbin (on right), 413 N. St. Asaph St. Has had only four terms of schooling. These photos taken by Lewis Hine for the National Child Labor Committee at Virginian glass factories in 1911 show poor, exhausted young boys doing dangerous jobs. Hine went to Alexandria in Virginia, just seven miles south of Washington D.C., to visit the child workers engaged in laborious and hazardous tasks — some were as young as six or seven years old. Hines’s photos highlighted the exploitation and vulnerability of child workers and became instrumental in bringing public attention to the issue and spurring legislative change.
Some of the youngsters on day shift (next week on night shift) at Old Dominion Glass Co., Alexandria, Va. I counted 7 white boys and several colored boys that seemed to be under 14 years old. The youngest ones would not give names. A few of the young boys working on the night shift at the Alexandria Glass Factory.

The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) wanted the children to be in school rather than working at factories which is why they enlisted the help of Hine in 1908. Over the next decade and a half, Hine traveled to half of the continental United States, taking photos of everything from the Breaker boys in the mines of Pennsylvania — whose job was to separate coal from slate — to the children working in cotton mills in Georgia and Alabama. Alexandria was just one of the stops. Hines recorded detailed information in the captions, sometimes including the names of the children, their ages, what type of jobs they did, and how many hours they worked. Note: The captions on this artice are more or less Hine’s original captions.
This information coupled with Hine’s powerful photos made it impossible for the public and policymakers to ignore the severity of the issue. “Carrying-in” boy in Alexandria Glass Factory.
