Talk:Breaker boy

Expansion of article
I feel this article would work better as one that covers all employees working at coal breakers, with a subsection on the use of child labour. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 19:31, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Breaker Boys
Breaker boys still worked in mines around Pottsville PA into the 1930’s. Both my father and uncle were working as breaker boys when they were 9 and 10 years old in 1933. They both went into the mines full-time by age 12 and 13. So I disagree with the statement that this practice ended in the 1920’s. 108.51.191.112 (talk) 03:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
