Child Laborer 1910

After the Civil War, the availability of natural resources, new inventions, and a receptive market combined to fuel an industrial boom. The demand for labor grew, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries many children were drawn into the labor force. Factory wages were so low that children often had to work to help support their families. The number of children under the age of 15 who worked in industrial jobs for wages climbed from 1.5 million in 1890 to 2 million in 1910.

Pin Boys 1910

 April 1910. "1 a.m. Pin boys working in Subway Bowling Alleys, 65 South Street, Brooklyn, N.Y., every night. Three smaller boys were kept out of the photo by Boss." Photograph and caption by Lewis Wickes Hine.

In bowling, a pinsetter, or pinspotter, was originally a person who manually reset bowling pins to their correct position, cleared fallen pins, and returned bowling balls to players. Probably due to the nature of the work (low-paid, often part-time, manual labor that most frequently took place evenings), many pinsetters were teenage boys, and thus pinboy is another name used to describe the job. In 1936 Gottfried Schmidt invented the mechanical pinsetter while with the AMF firm, which largely did away with pinsetting as a manual profession, although a small number of bowling alleys still use human pinsetters. While humans usually no longer set the pins, a pinchaser, or in slang 'pin monkey', often is stationed near the equipment to ensure that it is clean and working properly, and to clear minor jams.

These boys – called “pin boys” – set up the bowling pins before the automatic system was invented.

Many pinsetters are integrated with electronic scoring systems of varying sophistication. While many pinsetters have a manual reset button to use in case the pinsetter does not automatically activate at the correct time, other types have no automatic tracking of the state of the game – especially for the candlepin and duckpin bowling sports which use smaller balls – and are almost always manually activated.

Lewis Wickes Hine (September 26, 1874 - November 3, 1940) is an American photographer. A photographer known for his photographs of industrial workers and immigrants.

In 1874 he was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After his father had died, he had to work at the age of 18 and save money for his studies. Hine trained at the University of Chicago, Columbia University and New York University as sociology students. He then taught at the Ethical Culture School in New York. In 1905 he visited Ellis Island in New York and photographed thousands of immigrants.

In 1908, Hine became a photographer of the National Committee of Children's Workers and was tasked with studying the situation of children's work in the United States. He portrayed the working and living conditions of the child-aged children who were still working with photographs, and prepared a detailed report on their rights.

Towards the end of World War I, he worked in Europe with the Kiosk organization. He especially took pictures of children in the Balkans. After returning to New York, he documented the construction of the Empire State Building. To be able to take photographs, Henry struggled to take the best photographs in dangerous positions, hung up on the iron and steel scaffolding of the building.

In the rest of his life he worked on the government's projects and lost his life in New York in 1940 at the age of 66.
