-Caveat Lector- Jane Addams founded Hull House as a place to help immigrants trying to adjust to American life. Eventually over four hundred Hull HOuse's appeared throughout the country inspired by Addams. Her efforts at the time were deemed "communistic." from Twenty Years at Hull House Our very first Christmas at Hull House, when we as yet knew nothing of child labor, a number of little girls refused the candy which was offered them as part of the Christmas good cheer, saying simply that they "worked in a candy factory and could not bear the sight of it." We discovered that for six weeks they had worked from sevemn in the morning until nine at night, and they were exhausted as well as satiated... During the same winter three boys from a Hull House clubw ere injured at one machine in a neighboring factory for lack of a guard which would have cost bust a few dollars. When the injury of one of these boys resulted in his death, we felt quite sure that the owners of the factory would share our horror and remorse.... To our surprise, they didnothing whatever, and I made my first acquaintance then with those pathetic documents signed by the parents of working children, that they will make no claim for damages resulting from "carelessness."
