Description
An account of the resource

The only basis of Sound Social Action. <br /><br />Help the Keystone Hold! <br /><br />Other side--<br />Purpose: <br />To improve industrial conditions that needlessly involve loss of life, health and productivity of workers; and to obtain uniform labor laws in the interest of the whole community. <br /><br />This Association is an instrument with which men and women are accomplishing, cooperatively, what they could not hope to do individually.

Description
An account of the resource
Pamphlet advocating for the Child Labor Amendment, passed in 1924, but never ratified.<br /><br />Cover cartoon by Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper cartoonist John T. McCutcheon. <br /><br />[Image description] Two child laborers operate machinery. Above them is a cloud showing that they are daydreaming about frolicking outside with a dog. Beneath the cloud are the words "Lost Childhood". A rich older man in a suit looks at the children while rubbing his hands together greedily. The text below indicates that this man represents the "Employer of Child Labor". Above him is a cloud showing that he is daydreaming about sitting in the back of a large, expensive automobile that is parked in front of a mansion. Beneath the cloud are the words "Financial Gains". At the bottom of the cartoon is text that says "What child labor and its employer think about". <br /><br />Text from back of pamphlet: <br /><br />A federal minimum will give to American Children all the advantages of our federal form of government.<br />Every state may wish to give its children greater protection than a national minimum would provide.<br />Is any state willing to give them less?<br /><br />------<br /><br />The following organizations issue this appeal for the passage of a Children's Amendment by the next Congress: <br />American Federation of Labor <br />Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America <br />General Federation of Women's Clubs <br />Girls Friendly Society in America <br />National Child Labor Committee <br />National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations <br />National Consumers' League<br />National Council of Jewish Women <br />National Council of Women, Inc.<br />National Education Association<br />National Federation of Teachers<br />National Federation of Businesses and Professional Women's Clubs <br />National League of Women Voters <br />National Woman's Christian Temperance Union <br />National Women's Trade Union League<br />Service Star Legion <br />Young Woman's Christian Association.

Anti-Suffage Arguments [anti-suffrage handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Handbill from the Virginia Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage articulating arguments against giving women the right to vote. The Association give several reasons why suffrage will not help working women. <br /><br />The VAOWS was a group of women opposed to suffrage who organized in Richmond in 1912. They were affiliated with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_Opposed_to_Woman_Suffrage#Virginia_Association_Opposed_to_Woman_Suffrage" target="_blank" title="Wikipedia article" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage</a>. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"Votes cannot make work when there is no work.<br />Votes cannot increase wages when there is no natural increase in business. <br /><br />The best safeguards for the working women are found in those States where the laws have been made by men voters....<br /><br />The badge of the Consumer's League has done more for the relief of the working women, than any vote could ever do. <br /><br />A woman's citizenship is as great and as real as that of any man. The Anti-Suffragists stand for the true view of woman's place in the State."

Child Labor in Virginia. NCLC Pamphlet No. 171
Description
An account of the resource
Pamphlet by Alexander Jeffrey McKelway, Secretary for the Southern States, National Child Labor Committee. With photographs by Lewis W. Hine, staff photographer for the NCLC. <br /><br />Lewis Hine made a photographic investigation of child labor in Virginia in May and June of 1911. This pamphlet discusses the extent of child labor in the state where children were employed in cotton, silk and knitting mills, coal mines, cigarette factories, glass factories, shoe factories, and as newsboys, messenger boys, and actors on stage. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />p.3-4 "The cotton mills have often put themselves forward as patrons of education. The figures of the Federal Bureau of Labor do not bear out this claim. The Census shows that 9 per cent. of the white children ten to fourteen years of age throughout the state are illiterate. In the cotton mills 70 per cent. of the children under fourteen were found to be illiterate by the agents of the Bureau of Labor, a greater percentage than are to be found, even in the cotton mill families of any other state, north or south."<br /><br />p.5 "...there was no necessity for the labor of these children under fourteen; while it is admitted by all philanthropic agencies that even if there were in individual cases such need, the last expedient that should be adopted is the putting of the burden of family support upon the shoulders of the immature child."<br /><br />p. 9 "It is true, therefore, that a large majority of the industries of Virginia do not employ children under fourteen, and these establishments should be protected from the competition of the child-employing industries, which are here mentioned and illustrated."

Do You Know Where Your Clothes Are Washed? A Bulletin on Laundry Conditions in New York City
Description
An account of the resource
Do You Know Where Your Clothes Are Washed? A Bulletin on Laundry Conditions in New York City. Issued by The Consumers' League of the City of New York. This bulletin addresses the physical conditions, hours, and wages of laundries in New York City.<br /><br />"When Maggie Corbett, a fifteen year old girl, testified before the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration that she had worked in a public laundry for more than two years, and that she had often worked 14 or 15 hours in one day in a hot, steam-filled room, every housewife who read the newspapers was horrified that such a state of affairs could exist in an industry so closely connected with her own household economy."

Eight and one-half Million Women Workers!
Description
An account of the resource
Pamphlet promoting the work of the National Women's Trade Union League of America. The NWTULA advocates for better working conditions, hours, and wages for women and girls.<br /><br />Cover illustration of a young female factory worker. Her apron and the smoke from factory smokestacks behind her are caught by the wind. Illustration by Winifred Bromhall, best known for her work as a children's book artist.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />p. 2 "According to the 1920 census, eight and one-half million women in the United States, 10 years of age and over, earn their own living and contribute to the support of others. This represents a half-million increase over 1910....<br /><br />One out of every 4 women wage-earners is in one of the manufacturing and mechanical industries."<br /><br />p. 3 "A Way Out? Trade union organization--more and more of it--with its machinery for the collective merchandising of the day's work.<br /><br />Voices here and there, raised in individual protest, are not heard above the din of the modern industrial machine. But the collective voice of millions of women who know for themselves the toll exacted for unnatural strain will compel a hearing for their industrial ills."

Girls Home, 502 W. Clay Street, Richmond, Va. [brochure]
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This informational brochure describes "interesting facts about the object, origin and progress" of a working-girls' home for self-supporting African American women in Richmond, Va. The project, described as a technical training school, was established in 1919 as a project of the National Protective League for Negro Girls and the Richmond Neighborhood Association. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ora_Brown_Stokes_Perry#cite_note-VCU-4" target="_blank" title="Ora Brown Stokes Perry" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ora Brown Stokes</a> (Perry), a social activist, was a leader in both organizations. <br /><br />p.1 "Our Club Home. An 'Inspiration Point' for Self-Supporting Women and Girls for 'These are they that maintain the fabric of the world, and without them is no city builded.'"<br /><br />From p. 2 "The object of the Girls' Home is to provide and maintain a home which will solve the problem of the colored woman and girl of good character who comes to Richmond for the purpose of advancement, often without relatives, friends, or money; to surround them with Christian influences, to elevate the standard of employment, to provide a social center for women and girls."<br /><br />"The Home is managed by a splendid board with Mrs. Artena J. Miller as the efficient chairman. Mrs. Alice Holmes Watkins is the splendid House mother." <br /><br />"Our President, who is the Probation officer for women and girls, investigated the cause for the downfall of so many girls and women who came to the city. The cause was found to be that upon entereing the city they ofttimes found no one to direct them rightly and they were often sent by strangers to questionable places for room and board and the path downward was entered before they even knew it." <br /><br />"It is the only one of its kind which is being carried on by women of the race. The white friends has assisted largely by financial contributions and words of encouragement....Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, President." <br /><br />The song "The Clarion Call" composed by Ora B. Stokes (September 5, 1915) and dedicated to Pocahontas Camp Fire Girls, Richmond, Va. is printed on the back of this brochure. The song was to be sung to <a href="https://youtu.be/k88PSXys6uc" target="_blank" title="hear the tune" rel="noreferrer noopener">the tune of "Loyalty to Christ"</a> [From Over Hill and Plain] composed by Flora Hamilton Cassel. <br /><br />Along with Ora Brown Stokes (President), other officers of the Richmond Neighborhood Association included Mrs. Harriet E. Thompson, Mrs. Maggie M. Hill, Mrs. Rosa Sutton Caffee, Miss Lucy, A. Peters, Mrs. Alice H. Kersey, Mrs. T. Everett Johnson. <br /><br />Officers of the National Protective League for Negro Girls include Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes (Richmond), Mrs. W. T. B. Williams (Hampton), Miss Lillian Coleman (Fredericksburg), Miss Martha Fowlkes (Richmond), Miss Ruth Morris (Richmond), and Mrs. Theresa J. Diamond (Fredericksburg). <br /><br />This home is sometimes referred to as the Home for Working Girls. </p>

Lorena Weeks with typewriter
Description
An account of the resource
Lorena Weeks had worked as a Southern Bell telephone operator for many years when she was denied a higher paying position as a company switchman on the basis that the job was only open to men, citing a Georgia state rule that women employees could not be made to lift anything heavier than thirty pounds. She filed a legal appeal but lost in district court. Weeks then began writing all reports by hand, refusing to carry her thirty-four-pound typewriter to her desk in protest, which resulted in her suspension. <br /><br />Weeks brought her case to the National Organization for Women (NOW), through which attorney Sylvia Roberts was assigned to represent her before the Fifth Circuit. Roberts won the case on appeal in 1969, arguing the idea that no woman could lift thirty pounds was absurd, given that many women routinely carry children weighing thirty pounds or more. <em>Weeks v. Southern Bell</em> marked an important early legal victory in the fight against gender-based workplace discrimination.
