It's Not Fair WayBack

A postal telegraph messenger with his bike.A five-year-old boy next to a pile of oyster shells.A newspaper boy wearing a hat.Barefoot girls carrying food.A mill girl next to a huge spinning machine.A ten-year-old boy next to a tobacco plant.A girl sitting with other kids, rolling cigars.A girl standing in a factory, hammering a basket.A small boy with a huge bag of newspapers.
