The inspector of the State of Rhode Island filed reports on the working conditions in the Eagle Mill in 1901 and 1922. During that period working conditions improved from good to very good, but the workforce saw decreases across the board (men, women, and children). In its last years of operation, the mill began to produce rayon, as cotton was not in great demand. The strategy was not successful and in 1937 the mill was demolished by Woonsocket Civilian Conservation Corps workers.
