The University of Pittsburgh Press has published a new book by Professor James Flannery: “The Glass House Boys of Pittsburgh Law, Technology, and Child Labor.”
The publisher’s description of the book:
“An original examination of legislative clashes over the singular issue of the glass house boys, who performed menial tasks, received low wages, and had little to say on their own behalf while toiling in glass bottle plants. Flannery reveals the many societal, economic, and political factors at work that allowed for the perpetuation of child labor in this industry and region.”
