(http://oregonstate.edu/cla/polisci/faculty-research/sahr/sahr.htm) Using Conversion Factors in 2008 Dollars, Using both CPI-U-X1 and CPI-U-RS for 1665 to estimated 2018 (linked above) we can see that the US dollar right now bought about 4.1¢ worth of good and services in 1903. Therefore is a child labourer were to have been paid 10¢ for a day of labour in 1903 -- that would be equal to about $41 today.
