History in Pictures- On April 19, 1933, 400 "Baby Strikers", ranging from 14 to 16 years of age, went to see Governor Gifford Pinchot in Harrisburg to explain the plight of their lives in sweatshops.

The effort by these children had a dramatic publicity value - the governor's wife joined the children on the picket line. Before long the sweatshop owners in the Allentown area agreed to raise wages by 10% and cut back on mandatory hours.
