Publisher's Synopsis
The Child That Toileth Not: The Story Of A Government Investigation That Was Suppressed is a book written by Thomas Robinson Dawley and first published in 1912. The book tells the story of a government investigation that was conducted in the early 1900s to expose the exploitation of child labor in the United States.The investigation was led by the U.S. Department of Labor and focused on the conditions of children working in the cotton mills of the South. The findings of the investigation were shocking, revealing that children as young as six years old were working in dangerous and unhealthy conditions for long hours and low pay.However, despite the damning evidence uncovered by the investigation, the government chose to suppress the report and take no action to protect the children. The book details the reasons behind the suppression of the report and the political and economic forces that allowed the exploitation of child labor to continue.The title of the book is taken from a biblical passage in the book of Jeremiah, which describes the plight of a child who toils in vain. The book is a powerful indictment of the government's failure to protect vulnerable children and a call to action for social reform. It remains an important historical document that sheds light on the struggle for workers' rights and child welfare in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
