Every year approximately 200 miners per mine died Every year approximately 200 miners per mine died. Here is an example of a cemetery where the industry that may have put them there in the background.

A group of miners pose for a picture……. 2000 feet underground A group of miners pose for a picture……. 2000 feet underground!!!!! That is almost ½ of a mile!

3 miners waiting to use the primitive elevator to lower them into the mining shaft for a days work!

Working Conditions- What did you see? Record your findings on your worksheet!

Women and Children in the Workplace – What do you see?

How is Big Business treating its workers according to the picture?

Children stand on the machine while it is in motion!!!!

Here is a SIX year old girl working in a cotton mill

Look carefully, what is missing?

Daydreaming……. What is she thinking about?

What occupational (job) hazards can you find in this picture? A candle would be placed into his hat to provide light while working in the mines! What occupational (job) hazards can you find in this picture?

The taller boy standing to the right oversees the breaker boys who separate the coal from the stones during mining. The machine used is moving quickly and they are not allowed to wear gloves! Why might this be dangerous?

Women in the Workplace

Mom and children working together in the seafood industry!

Women sewing in a garment factory.

Women canning fruits in order to preserve them!

Assembly Line- What do you see?

A computer generated model of the conveyor line used to move products past workers so that they could do the same job over and over again.

Workers put spokes on the wheels of a future car.

Finished Product!- A car roles off of the end of an assembly line!

Assembly Line- What did you see? Record your findings on your worksheet

Urbanization, Growth of Cities and Living Conditions- What do you see?

Tenement- House Slums- very crowded housing for workers and families during industrialization. Cities were covered with this kind of housing!

Inside a tenement house!

LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES TAKES PLACE!!! What actually happens? LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES TAKES PLACE!!!

Haymarket Square Chicago 1886 workers from McCormick Harvesting Machine Company struck for an 8 hour day (They wanted a reduction in the amount of hours they worked in a given day). However, the Knights of Labor (union) did not support their actions. police came - four strikers killed and several wounded. next day at a rally in Haymarket Square- anarchists spoke up against police & treatment of workers. Thousands protest the killings and during the rally the police break up the meeting - someone threw a bomb at police - 7 police die.
