Child Laborers During the 1910’s, textile mills were charged with the “enslavement” of children Few child laborers had ever attended school Mothers explained that if children didn’t work then their entire family would starve Progressives campaigned for new laws to prohibit or limit child labor

Child-labor Laws By 1912, child-labor laws had been passed in 39 states & some required children to learn to read before being allowed to work Enforcement of laws was lax; many businesses depended on cheap child labor Child coal miners, 1911

Triangle Shirtwaist Fire On a Saturday in 1911, fire erupted on the eighth floor of the 10-story Triangle Shirtwaist Company building in NYC The employees (mostly female immigrants) found escaping nearly impossible The fire doors on the stairways were locked from the outside to keep employees from stealing fabric & elevator shafts were jammed 60 women jumped from windows to their death; 140 total workers died

As a result, New York legislature enacted the nation’s strictest fire-safety code
