Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee of the Senate Upon the Relations Between Labor and Capital, Vol. 3 of 5: And Testimony Taken by the Committee
Q. How about the employment of women is the employment of a kind that is injurious to them at all l - A. I think not; most of it is employment which allows them to sit, and is not very strenuous. I never heard of any considerable number of cases of women being hurt by the employment. I have until recently had one woman who has worked in the Amoskeag mills, in one of the worst rooms that women work in, for forty years.
Q. If you gave the girls, as a rule, a chance to work in the mill or to be employed as domestics in respectable private families, which would they select 'l - A. My experience and observation as a housekeeper is that they would take the mills.
Q. What do you conceive to be the reason why, generally, the girl prefers the mills to domestic service? I do not refer to your own case especially - A. I can only guess at that; I suppose the reason is a compound Of two prejudices, if I may call them so; one is, she likes the independence which is the accompaniment of having fixed hours of labor, outside of which she is her own mistress, and the other is the disinclination to take upon herself what She looks upon as occupation of a menial character.
