- Scouring Process for Cleaning Wool at a Woolen Mill in Portland, Oregon, 1923-1924 - Beginning in 1920, the Henry Ford-owned weekly newspaper <em>The Dearborn Independent</em> ran a series of front-page articles that denounced all things Jewish. Though the series ended in 1922, the weekly continued anti-Jewish diatribes in other articles, most notably those attacking Aaron Sapiro, a farm cooperative organizer. This photograph, though it appears harmless, was part of that campaign.

- In the Great Spinning Room - 104,000 Spindles - Olympian Cotton Mills, Columbia, South Carolina, 1903 - Mill owners used the most up-to-date machines in their factories to increase production and cut labor costs, hiring children to tend some of them. A typical child's job was that of spinner, tending 6 or 7 rows of rotating bobbins and watching for breaks in the cotton--then quickly mending them. By 1900, laws in the North limited child labor to an extent, but the practice was widespread in the South, where much of the textile industry had moved.
