Group of workers in the Massachusetts Mills, Lindale, Ga. Photo taken at noon, April 12, 1913, while they were being paid off. During the days following this, I proved the ages of nearly a dozen of these children, by gaining access to Family Records, Life Insurance papers, and through conversations with the children and parents, and found these that I could prove to be working now, or during the past year at 10 and 11 years of age, some of them having begun before they were ten. Further search would reveal dozens more. (See Hine Report.) Massachusetts Mills, Lindale, Ga. Apr. 12, 1913. Location: Lindale, Georgia / Photo by Lewis W. Hine.
