This pamphlet, subtitled 'Wages and the White Slave Traffic', was written by H. D. Roberts, Minister of the Hope Street Church in Liverpool and published by the Liverpool Anti-Sweating League about 1912. It proposes that the Trade Board Acts and minimum wages be extended to the so-called sweated trades in which many women were employed and suggests that many women were forced into prostitution by their low incomes.
