What happens

Children Who Labor è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Ashley Miller (non accreditato) e interpretato da Mary Fuller. Al pari del contemporaneo The Cry of the Children, il film è una ferma ed esplicita denuncia del lavoro minorile negli Stati Uniti agli inizi del Novecento. È il secondo film per la quindicenne Viola Dana, nel ruolo della figlia dell'operaio. In quello della figlia del proprietario, appare Shirley Mason, vera sorella di Viola Dana.
