Labor History Today “The March of the Mill Children!!!! ” protest of the plight of child laborers

July 7th, in 1903, Mother Jones began “The March of the Mill Children. ” Accompanied part of the way by children, she walked from Philadelphia to President Theodore Roosevelt’s home on Long Island to protest the plight of child laborers. One of her demands: reduce the childrens’ work week to 55 hours.
