This photograph of box makers working at home is from 'Sweated industries, being a handbook of the Daily News exhibition' by Richard Mudie-Smith, 1906. Sweated workers were known as 'white slaves' because of their low wages and long hours. The Sweated Home Industries exhibition was visited by hundreds of people and contributed to the passing of the Trade Boards Act.
