CHILD LABOR AFFIDAVITS

It should not be presumed that Child Labor Affidavits can be found in every county in Alabama. All the affidavits I have ever seen pertained to labor in cotton mills. If a county did not have a cotton mill, it is highly unlikely that any Child Labor Affidavits were ever filed with the county probate judge.

The 1910 labor report indicated that the child laborers in cotton mills were overwhelmingly white.
