A few of the youngsters working in the Cigarette Factory of the American Tobacco Co., at Petersburg, Va. All work. I went through the factory during working hours and saw dozens of little boys and girls working and helping, who were apparently from 11 to 14 years old. Many of the smallest ones would not be photographed. Photo at 7 A.M.
