In the manufacturing occupations in which the Federal laws of 1916 and 1918 prescribed a minimum age of 14 years, the influence of child- labor legislation appears to have been almost as important as in the mining industry. Except in five States — Rhode Island, Massachu- setts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington — and in the District of Columbia, decreases in child workers, in many cases of from 40 to 60 per cent, were reported for the period 1910-1920. Decreases were generally greatest in... States where the minimum age had been raised during the decade, as in Maine (67.8 per cent), Ohio (59.8 per cent), Alabama (59.5 per cent), Maryland (49.4 per cent), and Florida (48.6 per cent) ; or where the unsatisfactory character of State law or admin- istration had necessitated the issuance of Federal certificates of age, as in Virginia (46.6 per cent), Georgia (50 per cent). North Carolina (53.2 per cent), and South Carolina (62.5 per cent). In 1920, as at previous census periods, the largest number of chil- dren engaged in manufacturing pursuits were employed in the textile industries, almost half of them being in the cotton mills.
