Esther M. Zimmer Lederberg: Henry Mayhew's 19th Century London (What Charles Dickens Saw): Fantasy of Children Working in a Mill (Mill Manufacturer Propaganda)

Richard Oastler, who coined the term "Yorkshire slavery", asked the following questions:

"Are straps used in factories?" (to beat the children)

"Are the children kicked and beaten shamefully?"

To gauge the times, one might consider Oastler's broadside, "To the Factory Masters in Cragg Dale who have challenged Richard Oastler without publishing their Names" (Published in "The Bogart!", July, 1833).
