October 1913. Cuero, Texas. John Huggins. Said he is 14 years old and has been doffing for eight months in the Guadalupe Valley Cotton Mills. Gets a dollar a day now. Before he came here, he worked in the cotton mill at West, Texas, for five or six years. Said boys work in the Cuero mill under age. “They don’t even bother to ask your age. Didn’t ask mine. Easy ‘nuff to git a job.” The mills were not running on account of floods this week. I found only one other boy under age. “Spider” Estes said he is 14 years old and been doffing here one year.
