House or Representatives, ) March 13,191S } The Special Committee, to which was relerred sundry petitions relating to the hours of labor, have considered the same, and submit the following Report. The first petition, which was referred to your Commit tee, Cfcmo from the city of Lowell, and was signed by Mr. John Quincy Adams Thayer, and eight hundred and fifty others, "peaceable, industrious, hard working men and women of Lowell." The petitioners declare that they aie confined " from thirteen to fourteen hours per day in un healthy opaitm<'ni8,''andarethereby "hisiening, through pain, diseere, and pnvaiicn, down to a premature grave." They therefore ask the Legislature '? to pass a law pro viding that ten hours shall constitute a day's woik," and that uo corporation or private cit;zen " shall be allowed, except in cases of emergency, to employ one set ot hands more than tea hours per day." The second petition came from the town of Kail River, and is signed by John Gregory aud lour hundred and eighty-eight others. There |.etitioners in k lor the passage of a law to constitute '-ten hours a day's work in all corporations created by thu Legislature " The third petition signed by Hnmuel W. Clark and five hundred other*, citizens of Andover, is in precucly the Sime words as the one from Fall River. Tiie fourth petition is trom Lowell, and is signed by Janes Carle and three hundred others The pet tioneis atli for the enactment of a law miking ten hours a day's work,where no specific agreement is entered into between the parties." Tnc whole number of names on the several petitions is 'J 139, of which 1,161 are from Lowell Avery large proportion of the Lowell petitioner! are females ? Nearly one half ot the Andover petitioners are lemaler. The petition from FallHiver is signed exclusively by mules in view of the number and respectability of the peti tioners who had brought their grievances before the Le gislature, the Committee asked lor and obtained leave of the House to send for "persons and papers," in order that they might enter into ?n examination rf the matter, and report the reiult ot their examination to the Legislature as a basis lor legislative action, Ehould any be deemed necessary Ua the 13th of February the Sommitten held a session to iiear the petitioners frum the city of Lowell. Six of the female and three of the male petitioueis were present, und gave in their testimony. .The firat petitioner who testified was Kliia R. Hem mingway. She had worked two years and nine months in the Lowell Factories; two years in the Middlesex, and nine months in the Hamilton Corporations. Her em ployment is weaving?works by the piece. The Hamil ton Mill manufactures cotton fabrics. The Middlesex woolen fabrics. She is now at work in the Middlesex Mills, and attends one loom. Her wages average from $1(5 to $-2 J a month, exclusive of beard* She complain ed of the hours for labor being too many, and the time for meals too limited In tbe summer season, the work is commenced at 6 o'clock, A. M. and continued till 7 o'clock t* M., with half an hour f.?rbreakfast and three quartet ? of an honr for dinner. During the eight months of the year but h>ilf an hour is allowed for dinner. The air in the room the considered not to be wholesome. There were *93 sxill lamps ond 61 large lamps lighted in the room in which she worked, when evening work is re quired. Tteae (lamps are alio lighted sometimes in the morning. About 130 females, 11 men, ond 12children (between the ugos of 11 and 14) work in the room with her She (thought tbe children enjoyed about as good health ts cnildren generally do Tbe children work out 9 months out of 13. The ocher 3 months they must attend school. Think- that there is no day wh'n there nro less than six of the females out of Ihe mill from sick ness. Has known as many as thirty. She, herself, is out quite often on account of sickness. There was more shkness in the summer than in the winter months ; though in the summer lamps ere not lightod She thought tliere was a generul desiie among the females to work hut ten hours, regardless of pay. Most of th<; girls are from the country who work in the Lowell Milla. The average time which they remain there is about three year*. She knew one girl who h?d worked there 14 years. Her health was poor when she left. Mies Heiumingway said her health was better where she now worked than it-was when she woilt?d on tbe Hamilton Corporation. She knewof one girl who last winter we ,t into the mill at half past 4 o'clock, A. M., and worked till ha'l pa?t 7 o'clock, P M. Sue did so to make more aoney. She earned from $Jft to $30 per month. There is always t largo number of girN at the gate w.shine; to get in before the bell rings. On tho Middlesex Corporation one fourth part of the f- males go into the mill before they r re obliged to. They do thia to make more wages. A large number come to Lowell to make money to aid their parents who art- poor. Sbo knew of many cases where married women came to Lowell and worked in the milla to assist their busbandi to pay for their farms. The moral character of the operatives ia good. There was only ene American female ia the reem with her who could not write her name. MUs Sarah G. Baglit laid she had worked id the Lo well Mills oight years and a hall?six years and a hall on the Hamilton Corporation, and t s o v ears on the Middle sex. She is n weaver, and woiks by the piece She work ed in the mill* three jreirs before her health began to fail. She is a native oi New-Hampshire,anrjwent home 6 weeks during tho summer. Last year she wks out of the mill a third of the time. She thinks the health of the operatives is not so good as the health of females who do honsowork or milliuxry business. The chief evil, so far ni health is concerned, is the shortness of time allowed for meal*.? Tha next evil is the length of time employed?not giving them tint* to cultivate their minds She spoke of the high moral and intellectual character of the girls. That many were engaged asteashersin the Sunday schools. That manv attended the lecture* of the Lowell Institutn, and she thought, if more time was allowed, that more lectures would be given and more girls attend. She thought that the girls generally were favorable to the ten hour ays tem. She had presented a petition, same as the one be fore the committee, to 131 girls, most of whom (aid that they would prefer tJ work but ten hours. In a pecuniary point of view it would be better, as their health would be improved. They wou'd I ave more time for sowing. Thrir intellectual, moral, and religious habiti would also be be nefitted by the change. Miss Ballet said, in addition to he* labor in the mills, she had kept evening school during the winter mrnths, or four j ears, a d thought tliit extra labor mutt have in jured her health. M as Judith Pavhk testified that the came to Lowell 1> years ago, and werked a year nnd a half in the Merrimac cotton mills; lelt there on account of ill health, and re. inained out over seven year*. She was sick most of tha time she was out. Sevan years ogo she went to work in the Boott mills,and has rem lined there aver since?works hythepieco. She has lost during the last seven years, a out one year from ill health. She it a weaver, and at tends three looms. Last pay-day she drew $14 6tf for five weeks work?this was exclusive of beard: she was ab sent duriog the five weeks but half n day. shoHiys there is a very general f elmg in favor of the ten hour system among the operative*. She attributes her ill health to the long hour j of labor, tha shortness of time for imals, and the bad air ol tha mills. She had never spoken to Mr, French, the agent, or to the overseer of her room, in relation to these matters. She could not say that more operatives died in Lowell than other people. Misa Oi.ivk J. Clark?She is employed on the Law rcnce Corporation ; he* been there five years ; makes about $1 62J per week, exclusive of board; she has been home to Now Hampshire to school; her health never was good. The work is not laborious; can ait down about a quarter of the time. About fifty girls work ia the spin ni jg room with her, three of whom signed tho petition. She isinfavorof the ten hour system and thinks that the long hours had an effect upon her health. She ia kindly treated by her employers. There is hardly a week in which there is not some one out on) account of sicknrss; thinks tha air is bad, on a- count of the small par.iclen of cotton which fly about She has never spoken with the ?gent or overseer about working only te* hours. Miss Ct.LiciA Thilliu, has worked four years in Lowell. Her testimony was simitar to that given by Miss Clark Mis j F.lixabatm Rows, has worked in Lowall 16 months, all the tima on the Lawrence Corparation; came from Maine; she ia a weaver; works by the p:ece;runs four looms. "My herlth," she *ny*, "has been very good iudeaJ since I woikcd there; averaged three dollars a week since 1 hare been there besides my board : have heurd very liitio about tho hours of Inbor being too long."

Don't know ony on* who hes been haitennd to a premature grave by factory le'tor. I never attended any of the lec turea in Lownll on thn t?n hour system. Nearly all the female operatives la Lowell work by thn piece; and of the petitioner* who appeared before the Committee, Mi?s Hemmitigwey, Miss Dagley, Miss Pa?ne and Miss Kowe work by the piece, and Mis* Clark and Mis* Phillips by the week. Mr Oilman Oals, n member of tho City Council, aud who keeps a provision store, testified that the short time allowed lor meals he thought the greatest evil. He spoke highly of the character of the operative* and of the agents | alto of tho boarding house* and the public schools. He hid two children in the milla who enjoyed good health l'he mills are kept a* clean and a* w?U ventiled as it ii poasible.for them to be. Mr. Herman Abbott had worked on tha Lawrence Corporation IS year*?never heard much complaint among the girls about the long hour*; never heard the subject spoken of in the mill*- doca not think it would ba satisfactory to the girl* to work only ten hours, if the r wages were to be reduced in proportion. Forty-two girls wo.k in the room with him. The girls often get back to the giite before thn bell ringt. Mr. John t^uivcv Adash Thaver hts lived in Lowell four yeuis, "work*at physical labor iniho stimtrersen ?on, nml mental labor in <hn winter." Has worked in the big m.ichine short 34 months, off aid on ; never worked in n cotton or woollen mill; think* that the mechanic* in the machine shop are not so lieahhy as in other shop?, ?or so intelligent aa the other classe* in Lowell. He ?Thi* i* *aid to have been a mitt ike It should h'.ve read Inclusive of board. It resd exclusive on the min ute* of the Committee, tad was N undei*too< by svery member-[?rf. Cevrfcr. drafted the petition; has heard many complain of the long hours. Mr. 8. P. Adams, a member of the House from Lowell, laid he worked in the machine shop, and the nea were as intelligent aa any other class, and enjoyed as goo J health as uny persons who work in-dcors ; the air in the shop is as go(/d as in any shop ; about 350 hands work there, about half a dozen of whom nie what it culled ten hour men ; they all would be ten hour men if they could ge' as good pay. The only witnesses whom the committee examined, whose names were net en the petitioa, were Mr. Adams and Mr. Isaac Cooper, a member ot the House irom Lo well, and who has worked as on overseer in the Lawrence cotton mills for nine years ; his evidence was very lull; he gave it as his opinion that the girli in the mills enjoy thenest health, for tin reason that they rise early, goto bed early, and have their fmeals regular. In his room there are 00 girls, and since IS37, has known ol only nue Sri who wool home IromLowell anil died He does net find at those who stay the longest ia the mill grow sickly and weak. The roams are heated by ateam pipes, and the tempera ure of tha looms is regulated by a thermometer. It is so, he believes, in all the mills. The Leat ot the room varies from 62 to 63 degrees. During our short stay in Lowell, wo gathered many facts, which we deem of sutlicient importance to state in this report; and llat, in relation to the Hours or Lilian. From Mr. Clark, the agent of the Merrimack Corpora tion, we obtained thu following table of the time which the mill* run during the year Benin fVoik ?Frrm 1st M?y to 31?t August, 8t6 o'clock. From let September to 30.h April, as soon as they can see. Breakfast ?From 1st November to '28th February, before goi.ig te work. From lit March to 31st March, at 7 j o'clock. Fiom 1st April to 10th September, at seven o'clock. From JOth September to 31st October, at 7} o'clock. Return in hall an hour. Dinner?Through the yt ar at 12} o'clock. From 1st May to 31st August, return in 45 minute*. From 1st September to J0:n April, return in 30 minutes. Quit iVtrk?Frem 1st May to 31st August, at 7 o'clock. From 1st September to 19th September, at daik. From ' 20th St'pte-nber to 19tii March, at 7} o'clock. Frem 20'h March to 80th April, at dark. Lamps are never lighted on Saturday evenings. The above it the time which is kept in all the mills in Lewrll, with a slight difference in the machine shep; and it make? t ie average daily time, throughout the year, of running the mills, to be twelve hours and tea minuter. There are four days in the year which arc observed as hoiiduys, and cn which the mills are never put in mo tion. These are Fast Day, Fourth of July, Thanks giving Day, and Christmas Day. Tiieae mikooneday more than is usually devoted to pastime in any othrr place in New England. The following tablo shows the average honis of work per day, throughout the year, in tkc Lowell Mills Hours. Min. ' Hours. Min. January II 21 July 45 February 12 ?

It is also cnacted that there shall be six holidays ia the ceurso ol' the year. It is hardly possible to draw a comparison between the operatives.in Great Btitain and those in Lowell. The one is a manufacturing population, in the strict ccnse ol the word, the other is not. There, the whole family go into the mills as soon as they have sufficient bodily strength to earn a penny. They never come out until they die. Very litcle attention is paid to their moral or physioal culture, and, as hns been proved by facts ascer tained by commissioners appointed by Parliament, few caureador write, and unless they have attended Sabbath schools, few obtain any knowledge of the Bible or ot the Christian religian. In Lowell, but very few (in some mills none at all) enter into the factories under the age of fifteen. None under that age can be admitted, unless they bring a certificate from the school teacher, that he orshobas attended school at leost three months during the pre ceding twelve; Nine tenths of the factory population in Lowell come from the country. They are farmers' daughters. Many of them come over a hundred miles to enter tho mills. Their education has been attended to in the district schools, which are dotted like diamonds over every square mile of New England. Their moral and religious characters have been formed by pious parents, under the paternal roof. Their bodies havo been developed and their constitutions made strong by the pure air, wholesome lood, and youthful exorcise-. After un absence of a few years, having laid by a few hundred dollars, they depart for their homes, get married, settle down in life, and become the head8 ot fsmilie*.? Such, we believe, in truth, to be a correct statement of the Lowell operatives, and of the hours el' labor. Gilnkral Hkai.th or the Oferativis. In regard to the health of the operatives employed in the mills,your Committee believe it to be good. Thetes timony ot the female petitioners does not controvert this pouiticn, in general, though it does in particular instan ces The population of the) city of Lowell is now rising 20,000, of which number about 7.600 are females employ ed in the mills. It is the opinion of Dr. Kimball, an emi nent physician of Lowell, with whom the Committee had an interview, that there Is less sickness among the per sons at work in the mills, than there is amort? those who do not work in the mills; and that there is less sickness now than there was several years ago, when the number was much less than at present. This we unite: stood to be also the opinion of the city physician, Dr. Wells, from whose published report for the present yetr, we learn that tho whole number of deaths in Lowell, during the year 1844, was 3d, of which number 200 wero children under ten yeara of age. The following table shows tho comparative mortality in Lewrll during the past five years, enumerating some of the principal disease* Diaeastl. 1840 1111 IMS 1813 18 H Consumption 40 44 70 7.1 77 Inflammation of Luugi.... 17 20 38 16 21 Cholera Infantum 12 30 34 27 31 Scarlet Fever 7 43 32 t! 3 Mea*.le? n 4 12 0 10 Dysentery 47 18 17 II 2 lull vnnmion oflJ rain... . 7 11 6 8 4 Cionp 7 10 12 6 11 Total mortality each year. 426 456 473 363 3#2 Tha pop' 1 it on of Lowell, in Miy, 1340, was 7,341 rra'es and la,740 females?total, 21,Oil. The population in May, 1844, was 7,43-2 msles, 16,637 lemalei?total, 25,163 inc. oaie cf population in f*ur years,4,182. Notwithstanfi ingthis increase of population, lha number of deaths has decreased. There being f?wer the p^st year than in cry of the lour preceding yean, and #4 less in 1844 than iu 1940. Vet, during the past yvur, the mills have been in more active operation than during either of the four years preceding. The decrease in the mortality of Lou - ell, Dr. Wells attribute*, in part, to " the enlightened policy ol the city government, in directing the construe, tioncf common ceweti, and the enterprise of individuals, in multiplying comfoitable hibitjtions, the establish ment of a hospital, supported by the liberality of the cor parationa. for tha accommodation of the tick in their em ploy. The more gpi.eral diffusion of a knowledge of the laws of health, is also conducive to the samo end. The petitioners thought that the statements made by our city physician, as to the number of deaths, were de lusive, inasmuch as many of the females when taken sick in Lowell, do not stay th<-re, but rtlurn to their homes in the country and die. Dr. Kimball thought thar the num ber who rpturn homn when seized with sickness was small. Mr. Cooper whose tuctimcny we have given, and who is a gentleman cf great experience says that he hps known but one girl who, during the last eight years, went homi from Lowell and died. We hive no doub', however, that many of the operatives do leave Lowell and return to their homes when their health is feeble, but the proportion is not large. Certainly it has created no alaim, for the listers atid acquaintances cf those who have gone home return 'o Lowell to supply the vccanclcs which their absence had create 1. In the year 1941, Mr. French, the agent of the Boott mills, adopted a mode of ascertaining from the female? employed in th?it mill tho efJYet which factory labor bad upon their health. The questions which he put were "What is yotir age V' "Hew long have you woiked in o cotton mill T" " Is your health as gocH as before 7" These questions were addressed to every female In "No. '2, Boott Mill '' The committee have the names of the females interrogated, and the answers which they return ed, and the result is cs follows Ltsr op Giri s i* Boott MifcL, Ni. 2?

The Boott Mill employs nine hundred girla, not half a dozen of whom are under fifteen years of age. In addition to which we have been permitted to copy the following memoranda, kept by John Clark, Esq., agent of the Merrimack Mills May Oth, 1941- "I havoascertained, by inquiries this day, that 1 -24 of the iemales now at work in the Merri mack Mills have heretofore taught school; and that in addition 3ft or 30 have left within tho last 30 daya to en gage their schcols lor the summer, making in oil 160 or more.

There are many interesting facta connected with thia inqui*n which your Committee have not included in the foregone remarks, ar.d which we could not include without making our repoit ef too Tolumincus a cha racter. We win mate, however, in thia connection, that the ev'Jenc ? which we obtained from gentlemen connected with the .a weil Mills all goes to prove that the more in telligent and moral the operatives are, the more valuable they are to the employers, and the greater will be the amount oi their earnings. Your Committee hsive not been able to give the peti tioners from tlie other towns in this 8tate a hearing. We believed that the wholo case was covered by the petition from Lowell, and to that petition we have given our un divided attention, and we have come to the conclusion unanimously, that legislation is not necessary at the pre sent time, and for the following reasons :? 1st. That a law limiting the hour* of labor, if enacted at a;l, f houll tie of a general nature. That it should ap ply to indivi luals or copartnerships as well as to corpora tions Because, it it in wioni? to labor more than ten ho:irsin n corporation, it is also wrong when appliedte individual employers, and your committee are not aware that more complaint can justly be made against incorpo rated companies in regard to the hours of labor, than can b3 against individuals or co-partnerships. But it will be ?afd in reply to this, that corporations are the creaturea of the Legislature ; and, therefore, the Legialature can centrol them in thia, as in othi r matter. Thia to a certain extent it true, but your committee go farth' r than thia. and say, that not only are corpora tions subject to the control oi the Legislature but individ uals are also, and if it a! ouid ever appear that the puhlio ir.orals, the physical condition, or the social well being of Bociety were endangered, from thia cause or from any muse, then it would be in the power and it would be the duty of the Legislature to interpose ita prerogative to avert the evil. 3d. Your committee believe that the factory system, aa it is called, is not more injurious to health than other kindi oi indoor labor. That a law which would compel all of the factories in Massachusetts to run their machine ry but 10 hours out of the 34, while those in Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and other States in the Unien, wet e not restricted at all, the eHect would be to cloae the gateofeveiy mill in the State. It would be the same aa closing our mills ore day in every week, and although Msst achua.'tts cnpital, enterprise and industry are willing to compete on fair terms with the aame oi other Statea, and, if needs be, with European nationa, yet it is easy to perceive that we could not compete with our sister States, much less with foreign countriea, if a restriction ol thia niture was put upon our manufactories. 3d It would be impossible to legislate to reatrict the hours of labor, without oil'ecting very materially the ques tion of wages ; and that is a matter which experience haa taught us can bo much better regulated by the partiea theiiiselvt s than by the Legislature. Labor in Massaehu setts ia a very different commodity from what it is in for eign countries. Here labor is on an equality with capital, and indeed controls it, and ao it ever will be while free education and free institutions exist. And although we may And fault, and say that labor worka too many hours, and labor is too severely tasked, yet if we attempt by le gislation to enter within its orbit, and interfere with ita plans ,we will be told to keep clear and mind our own buai ness. Laber is intelligent enough to make its own bar gains, and look out tor its own interests without any in terference from us : and your Committee want no better prooi to convince them that Massachusetts men and Mas sachusetts women, are equal to this, and will take care of themselves better than we can take care of them, than we had from the intelligent and virtuous men and women who appeared in support of this petition, before the Com mittee. 4th. The Committee do not wishto be understood aa conveying the impression, that there are no abuses in the present system of labor; we think there are abuaea; we think that many improvements may be aoade, and we be lieve will be made, by which labor will not be severely tasked as it now is. We think that it would be better If the hours for labor were less?if more time was allowed for meals, if more attention waa paid to ventilation and pnre air in our manufactories and work shops, and many other matters. We acknowledge all thii, bet we say the remedy is not with us. We leok for it in the progressive improvement in art and science, in e higher appreciation of man's destiny, in a less love for money, and a more ar dent love for social happiness and intellectual superiori ty. Your Committee, thcreioie, while they agree with the petitioners in their desire to lessen the burthens im posed upon labor, differ only as to the means by which these burthens are sought to be removed WILLIAM 8CHAULER, Chairman.
